"The Prophet 5, Rev 3.3. Serial number 1000=6079
This unit is sold as is.
NOTE - It does not power on.
INITIAL REASON FOR THIS :It does not have the fuse and fuse cap ( so frustruating!!) which are normally found directly on the back panel. (See pic 7) The unit can not be turned on without these items..."

Note the busted knobs... So sad.  What a waste of a beautiful synth and money for that matter.  Hopefully a competent tech will pick it up and restore it to its formal glory.  Remember, you can search for serial numbers on the site.  Hopefully we'll see 6079 again.

Magnificence Multiplied: Analog Four OS 1.1


Published on Dec 19, 2013 Elektron·42 videos

"Analog Four OS 1.1. has finally arrived! This is a major OS upgrade, adding polyphony, resonance boost, MIDI multi map. Oh yeah, it also unlocks the pre-installed +Drive of all units. Head on over to http://elektron.se/support-and-downloads and upgrade today!

The Analog Four is a four voice polyphonic analog synthesizer. Analog oscillators and filters ensure the most organic sounds imaginable and the Elektron step sequencer caters for the innovative sound control. With sequencer features like parameter locks and variable length per track, intricate Analog Four compositions can be created quickly and efficiently. Add the completely new and incredibly well-crafted effects to the mix and experience the next chapter in analog sounds."

Ipad MINI Minimoog Style Keyboard Controller


via Inevitable Crafts

"after last weeks weekend project which was building tabletop racks for all my 19″ stuff plus wooden cheeks for my elektron gear, this weekends project is to built a midi controller.

even with an usb hub and a soundcard and a midimate, my ipad mini fits perfectly in my midi enviroment, i was lacking a dedicated dock that has all the connections, symmetric outs midi IO etc

so the plan is to hack a midi controller, a USB soundcard and a monotron to build a controller that can do the following:

complete IO for the ipad

__symmetric audio IN/OUT
__midi IN/OUT
__MS20 filter, patchable IN or OUT

as this is a proof of concept, i will take the cheapest parts available

__birch instead of mahagoni at homedepot for around
__akai lpk8 instead of anything decent, so no wheels, but the only alternative would be the line6 and thats too big
__behringer 202 soundcard, unsymmetric and generally crappy and RCA …. but small and cheap
__cheap usb hub
__midimate
__female MIDI plugs and around 12 mono plugs (thats expensive ^^)
__some cables
__korg monotron for the filter

the controls left and right the ipad are mounted on dedicated panels to make it easier to expand and change layout.

i will use the CCK and plug the cable everytime instead of a dock-style connection."

In the comments he mentions "if you got an ipad mini by yourself i can put a blueprint online" Not sure where though.

Bass Station II overview: http://bit.ly/BS-II

Bass Station II is an analogue mono-synth based on the classic original Bass Station but re-worked for the 21st century. It has two filters, two oscillators plus a third sub-oscillator, patch save and a fully analogue effects section. Add a step sequencer, arpeggiator, full sized keys and a powerful modulation section and you have the makings of a synth that is built for bass, but capable of so much more.

Bass Station II key features:
• Analogue synth: brand new version of the classic Bass Station
• Two distinct analogue filters
• Load and save patches
• Pattern-based Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator
• Dedicated Tweakable Controls
• Two Oscillators plus an additional Sub Oscillator
• Analogue effects section
• Flexible modulation featuring 2 Envelopes and 2 LFOs
• MIDI I/O and USB connectivity
• Players 'synth-action' keyboard with aftertouch

STM32F4 DIY synth : Brisophone demo + Korg Monotron delay effect


"Published on May 1, 2013
Automatic semi-random digital sound synthesizer based on STM32F4 Discovery board (STmicroelectronics).
Control through 4 push buttons and 1 bargraph LED display.
Access to 13 parameters...
This is a work in progress.

Open source code ! : https://github.com/MrBlueXav/Brisophone

The latest sound demos are here : https://soundcloud.com/bluexav"

"This is a semi-random music generator based on a STM32F4 Discovery board and a simple expansion board providing four push buttons and a 10 LED bargraph.

It's a cousin of my previous "Ambiantiseur" project.

Now we have 4 effects : LP filter, chorus/flanger, delay, distortion.

The latest sound demos are here : https://soundcloud.com/bluexav

Early videos :

http://youtu.be/H8p6o9Nr7k8

http://youtu.be/NJDcqiR5RQg

Through the 4 buttons you can edit about 20 parameters.

All push buttons are active low. They are connected to PD8, PD9, PD10, PD11.

The first two are used to choose the parameter you'd like to modify : you scroll the list forward or backward. The bargraph displays a configuration of LEDs for each parameter.

The two second buttons are generally used for increasing or decreasing the parameter value or sometimes toggle a value.

The bargraph (common cathods) is connected to pins PE6, PE7, .... PE14, PE15. Each output is active at high level (3V). I've used 120 ohms resistors. The display is multiplexed (one Led is on at a time) and not bright...This system doesn't work very well in fact....

This project was built with Coocox.org's free IDE : CoIDE 1.7 and the GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors (https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded).

The main project file to open with CoIDE is "Brisophone.coproj".

Be sure to adapt your settings :

Toolchain location : Project > Select your Toolchain Path ...

libm location : Configuration window > link > linked libraries > add ...

( example : C:\program files\gnu tools arm embedded\4.7 2013q2\arm-none-eabi\lib\armv7e-m\fpu\ )"

"Dekrispator'sTest Sound!!

This software is a synthesizer which has flexibility very much!!"

via https://github.com/MrBlueXav/Dekrispator

"Experimental synthesizer based on an STM32F4 Discovery board with USB Host function for interaction and automatic mode. Flash your board with "dekrispator.hex" and enjoy hours and hours of sweet music coming of it ! Sounds can be loud so beware !

When powering up the board, the synth starts in "demo mode" unless you press and maintain a little the user button before power. In that case the synth is in "user mode".

Demo mode : The synth works on its own, sounds are perpetually changing. If you press the user button, sounds and effects stop always changing and the red LED lights on : the synth parameters are frozen. Press once again the user button and the red LED lights off : unfreeze.

User mode : Connect an USB MIDI controller (like Korg NanoKontrol...) to the board's micro USB connector and control the synth.

More to come..."
