"The Oscar is a dual oscillator, digitally controlled mono-synth with analogue filters and user memory patches. This Oscar is a later version and has the MIDI board fitted, it also comes with the original manual and copies of the hand drawn schematics that are available on-line..."
"Instantly reshape any loop beyond imaginable. Create amazing breaks, fills and transitions. Turn even the simplest sounds into unique animated textures. Sequential is an extremely fun yet versatile app for animated effect processing.
POWERFUL EFFECTS
Sequential lets you load audio samples for looped playback and apply up to 11 different effects in a rhythmical order. It includes many classic algorithms such as low- and high-pass filters, flanger, resonator, bit crusher, but goes much further with Sinevibes' trademark wave transformer, circuit bender and even synthesizers controlled by the sound's dynamics.
FUN WORKFLOW
Creating effect patterns with Sequential is more game than workflow. With its bold shapes, clever color coding and all-round use of animations, it feels alive and almost connected straight to your brain. All parameters you change are saved along the audio files and recalled without you even noticing — everything just works the way you think it should.
INSTANT RECORDING
Whatever you hear coming out of Sequential can be recorded, even if you activate recording as you play. Moreover, all recordings are trimmed precisely to a bar, meaning you will always get audio that loops rhythmically.
DIVERSE CONTENT
Sequential comes with a tasty selection of bass and rhythm loops in a wide variety of music styles, including house, drum'n'bass, r'n'b, dubstep, trap, hardstyle, electro, and more.
EASY SHARING
You can import your own loops and export recordings both via the general pasteboard and iTunes file sharing. Sequential supports .wav and .aiff files in 16 bit 44.1 KHz format."
"Take any non-Buchla analog pulse from another format (serge, euro, etc.) convert it into a Buchla pulse then use this handy (though funky) program card suggestion."
"Another quick improv further exploring the possibilities of the Acxsynth P-Sequencer.
I am using Yusynth's version of the P-Sequencer code. At the 3:00 mark you can hear me switch the sequencer into 'Canon' mode in which Track B plays the notes of Track A, offset by four notes. I then return to the previous mode (Track B is played x4 slower).
"Some testing with the amazing ALISA 1387 synthesizer, monophonic and fully analog, this beast is capable of some weird sounds, basses, effects, drones. It's not warm like a moog or other western or japanese synthesizers, it's harsh, sometimes brutal, syncing the 2nd OSC to the 1st is a real sharp weapon, as is the crazy filter, however somewhat less squeezing as the one on the POLIVOKS/POLYVOX.
NO ADDITIONAL EFFECTS, recorded from an eden bassamp into an IPhone
Here's the best: The ALISA 1387 comes with CV/GATE in/out on bord, just need to find an DIN-to-whatever adapter. As far as I know, it's the only russian analog synth having these built in. This makes it really really great !! Driven by a DOEPFER MAQ 16/3 in this case.
Above all it seems the ALISA 1387 is less prone to fail or broke of it's case, as the Polivoks and the Altair 231 tend to do (at least ours did). Most amateurs of russian synthesizers tend to declare the POLIVOKS, sometimes the AELITA as the best sounding vintage USSR synth. Both are often called the russian Minimoog, wich is clearly wrong, no one come close, but the ALTIR 231/ESTRADIN 230 (both have identical schematics) are clearly the candidates, as they have very similar schematics to the moog and are obviously a try to copy the king of synthesizers, without sounding like a MINIMOOG of course.
So in my view the ALISA 1387 formerly built in the Lyuberetskiy factory (1989 or the one presented), is clearly the most underrated and a unique sounding vintage soviet synth. It's pretty rare however, but still sold cheaper than other russian synthesizers...
