"Originally from the South Florida Recording Studio Middle Ear, this and many more pieces of gear being sold here on Ebay, has been in AC storage, and now up for grabs by me, Protoolshd3-88. This was actually owned and used on recordings by Barry Gibb. I can not tell you what was used for any particular track or session, just that they were used at one time or another for various tracks, writing, ideas, etc. Grab a piece of history and bid away!.."

"Here we have something special! The Solina String Synthesizer. Only about 50 ever made.. This is was a unique collaboration between ARP and Solina combining their famous String Ensemble and the ARP synth in one machine. Yes! The strings can be routed thru the filter and envelope of the synth, really nice results. :) This is a true classic !

The String Synthesizer is in good condition and just came back from service by a pro ARP tech and (another) pro Solina tech! Some corrosion around a few sliders and an undone mod on the backside, see pictures, nothing major. Everything works like it should and it is ready to play..."

KORG MS20 with KORG 35 Filter & Synth Cat

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

This one is currently listed for sale here. The M20, not the cat.

"This vintage MS20 is THE MS20 to buy if you're looking for an original Korg 35 filter version in both great physical and functional shape for a very reasonable price and shipped from WITHIN THE US, NOT JAPAN, WITH US VOLTAGE! As said earlier, this MS20 has the original Korg 35 filter circuit chips (no screw/daughterboard in the VCA section, front panel has the more grey-ish hue than the later versions, which typically have a more jet black-ish hue). It's in great physical condition for its age, with only minor surface blemishes, and no missing parts, broken parts, major dents, or major damage. The only flaw I can think of is a very small chip out of the bottom of one of the keys (not visible when viewed from above; doesn't affect function). There is also a vintage sticker on the right end cap, which could be easily removed..."

Prophet 12 Analog Filter Modulation

Published on Sep 22, 2013 experimentalsynth·87 videos

"I was able to to borrow a Prophet 12 recently. Since it has analog filters, I thought it might be interesting to do "analog things" to it. This is part of what happened next.

At first I was disappointed when I saw that there were no CV connections, but I soon found that the two pedal inputs can be used with a variety of CV gear.

In this video I have the Koushion Step Sequencer iPad app sending MIDI notes to the Moog Mult-Pedal. The Multi-Pedal converts them to an analog control Voltage which step-sequences the Prophet 12's filter.

The Moog CP-251 allows us to make multiple copies of the Control Voltage so we can also step-sequence a Moog Voyager and Little Phatty. Learn more at www.experimentalsynth.com"

Additional videos below.

"This is the official trailer for the Cotracks Music Studio app for iPad. The video shows the Cotracks team playing and recording simultaneously and creating a tune in less than two minutes.

Cotracks is a collaborative music studio app designed for teamwork on a single iPad. Welcome to http://futucraft.com for more details."

"Cotracks is a collaborative music studio for teamwork on a single iPad. With Cotracks you can create multiple layers of loops and phrases using multiple instruments. Cotracks is designed to maintain your creative flow and is always ready to capture your ideas, regardless whether you are flying solo or collaborating with others.

Collaboration is where Cotracks really stands out. Everyone in your session has the ability to play and record at will without disrupting or being disrupted by the workflow of others. This lets you lay down the foundation of a tune within minutes and makes Cotracks the perfect and inspiring tool for brainstorming new ideas within a group.

The loops you create may be exported as separate audio clips or as a mixdown audio clip which you may then import and use in any audio software supporting the common wave audio format.

DESIGNED FOR VARYING NUMBER OF USERS

You can start off creating music in a single user mode. Later when your friend decides to join in, you switch to a two user mode. The interface layout will adjust enabling convenient access to the application from both sides of the table. Whenever another friend happens to join you, the layout will adjust again enabling access from all four sides of the device, letting you team up with up to three friends for a super creative music session. Whenever one or more members leave the session, it is as easy as a single tap to switch back to the smaller team or to the single user mode, letting the remaining members continue from where the others left off.

DESIGNED FOR VARIABLY SKILLED USERS

Cotracks offers lots of fun at the same time for both novice and advanced musicians with the help of scale based keyboard, flexible quantize, sequence sharing and editing capabilities. For example, a novice musician may grab a copy of a complicated sequence played by a more experienced friend and edit the instrument, sound and effects, record modulation controllers over the sequence and tweak the various playback parameters including key and scale. Essentially creating something new and exiting without necessarily playing a single note. Cotracks is all about giving everybody the means to contribute, which takes the concept of music collaboration to a new level.

It's like playing with a band, but this time you can record and play back your own parts, in perfect sync with others, and create the constituents for a great track at the same time. With Cotracks the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
