"'ve just noticed that Node Beat is available for free today. If you don't know it, it's a fun little sequencer/synthesizer, available for Android and iOS. It's really well made unlike most of them! The idea is you have a rectangular playing field where you put notes and generators. Basically, you have large dots (generators) that rhythmically send out pulses (when depends on when you last moved them) and then small dots (notes) that receive pulses and sound off notes. The small dots can receive pulses from both melodic generators and percussive generators at once. The harmony depends on what note dots you place; the rhythm and melody depend on the spatial relationship between the generators and notes; the timbre depends on what generators you place. One thing I like to do in Node Beat is to have a generator somewhere in a part where there are only a few notes, and then when I want it to get more involved i move it somewhere where there are many notes. You can also add gravity, and then the objects fly around, and the rhythm and melody are nice and random. On top of all of that, if you place your finger anywhere on the background, you get a pitch-quantized lead, kind of like a Minimoog, Stylophone, or Monotron. I'm having a lot of fun. To get it for free (rather than the ~ $1 you'd normally pay) you have to install AppGratis and get Node Beat today. This app has definitely made my day a lot more fun!"

Buchla Modular Sounds 27

"Drums from the Sound Master ST-305, and some synced sequences from the K4816 (259e & 258v). The high sounds are run through the Eventide Space. The HiHats through DM1000 (which is then treated with the Buchla frequency shifter)."

Speak Onion on the Nord Modular

"All the sounds are recorded direct from the outputs of my Nord G2 Engine (under the MIDI controller that I'm using). Octatrack is just providing MIDI clock.

This is a single patch."

Elektron Octatrack and Nord Modular rinse

"Playing with a drum loop in the Octatrack and a gnarled self-playing patch in the nord modular (under the MIDI controller). OT does only drums, nord does all the synths all internally sequenced."

Vintage MOOG Sonic Six Synthesizer & Service Manual

"Here is some Specs from Moog:
To start, it is duo-phonic, utilizing two analog oscillators with three basic waveforms each plus tuning, modulation and scaling controls. There are two independent LFO generators with advanced control options not seen on other Moog synths (for instance, an X/Y knob is used to mix and balance the LFO outputs). Also on-board is a Ring Modulator (that can modulate either Osc. B or external audio) and pink/white noise generators.

Moog synthesizers are known for their filters, and the Sonic Six strays from the usual Moog in this area as well. While it is known that ARP stole a filter design from Moog for use in some of their 2600 and Odyssey models, leading to lawsuits between Moog and ARP, according to Mark Vail in "Vintage Synthesizers," the Sonic Six actually used some circuitry in its filters which were stolen from an ARP design, although ARP never sued Moog over it. However, later models of the Sonic Six were eventually fitted with a more traditional Moog designed filter. In either case, the filter is a low-pass 24dB/oct which offers the usual controls and is capable of self-oscillation. The VCA, however, has a rather limited set of controls - attack and decay plus a sustain on/off switch."

According to the seller: "A great keyboard that I've used mostly for the strings; it sounds much like an ARP Solina. Great for 70's and 80's stuff. The condition is definitely above average. All keys work flawlessly, most sliders are noise free (the resonance on the brass has a dead spot and some noise, but still functions. That has never caused a problem for me.).."
