Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 2 SN 1073 with MIDI

Pics of the inside below.

"1981 Rev 2 Sequential Circuits Prophet-5. This is the early revision which features the SSM oscillators, filters and envelope generators. SCI switched the design to Curtis because SSM could not supply their need. Many Prophet-5 fans will tell you that the SSM filters are more interesting than the CEM filters. This synth sounds great and is in great condition. The factory patches have been loaded and it has been recently serviced. All switches, pots and LEDs work as expected. The keyboard buss bar and j-wires were cleaned after the new bushings were installed. The keyboard plays very well. The metal nameplates are in good shape on the front and back, the plate under the control panel was replaced with a new one.
upgrades and service

New rubber keyboard bushings
Kenton UK MIDI kit (In/Out/Thru) - the only midi kit for the rev 2 from what I understand.
Cassette In/Out for patch dumping
Power supply mod which reduces the need for the -5v and +12v supplies, EPROMS replaced
New battery
All this work and calibration was done by a former SCI tech in the bay area."

"If you are reading this, you already know what you are looking at. What sets this synth apart is the fact that it has been kept in a clean, smoke-free, studio environment for the first 8 years of its life and then in a music room unused for the balance of the time.

It has never been taken to a live gig, had drinks spilled on it, or been dropped or sweated all over. I am mainly a guitarist and producer. It has been lightly used for bass lines or fill parts in music I was producing in New Orleans in the early 80s. Since then, it has been sadly unfulfilled... sitting on an acoustic piano in my music room. It works fine, and is a one owner piece. The serial # illustrates the classic nature of this vintage piece. It is original and unmolested... not hacked, or customized in any way."

Whimsical-Raps Mangrove - INSTRUMENTAL SPECTRUM SHAPING

Published on Jan 5, 2015 kuxaan sum

"Just plugged in the Whimsical-Raps Mangrove Formant Oscillator. Drums courtesy of Drum Dokta via Mutable Instruments Grids with some CV over Map X & Y & Chaos.

I didn't realize my ER-101 was not updated so I didn't get the ER-102 working in this patch tonight...soon...soon."

This is the first Whimsical-Raps post. Just spotted it via kuxaan sum's video above. Below are details and a couple of videos from Whimsical-Raps. The first video was from Dec 15, 2014, so technically they are new to 2014.

"Mangrove holds the essence of an instrument in the form of an oscillator. Sounds are defined not only by pitch but by spectra. As the earth shakes under foot, a whistle blows on the wind.

FORMANT represents the timbral structure of the instrument, defined independent of its pitch. Waves shift across the range, bringing to life a series of undertones. There is quicksand between these divisions – tiny moments of uncertainty – where multiphonics reside. These underbranches fold melodies onto themselves far down into microtones.

Frequency modulation feels altogether different, with a pair making the most corporeal of complex oscillators. With integral FM indexing, a cross-modulated duo will unleash a snarling Bunyip. With SYNChronicity they will sing the same tongue through their own voice. Self-patched tones open another box of uncertainty. Divided FORMANTS to control frequency; shapeless SQUARES modulating AIR pressure."

Axoloti - New Hardware Synthesizer with Modular Software Seeks Funding on Indiegogo

Playlist:
2. Axoloti basic synthesis tutorial

3. H2SO4 - "Step sequencer, oscillators, filter, distortion acid. Screencast and audio straight recorded from Axoloti, no post-production. The screaming sound and detuning are 100% intentional. It's not a track, just demo'ing some sonic power. No samples used."

4. The hoover sound - "3 PWM oscillators, notch filter, chorus FX. Played via MIDI from the LMMS sequencer."

5. Tybett - "Three 'Feedback Delay Network' resonators played by filtered pulses in a polyrhythmic pattern. No processing done outside Axoloti."

6. Amon is broke - "A beatslicer in Axoloti!"

"Axoloti is a platform that blends sketching of digital audio algorithms with the musical playability of standalone hardware.

The Axoloti Patcher offers a “patcher” environment similar to Max/MSP, Pure Data or Reaktor.

The patches run on a standalone powerful microcontroller board : Axoloti Core.

Look at some examples of what it is up to.

Optionally, it can connect to the Axoloti Control, which allows to navigate through patches and adjust parameters away from the computer.

It is still ongoing development, current source code is on GitHub.

Axoloti Control allows you to navigate through patches and adjust parameters away from the computer, without having to assign parameters to MIDI controllers.

It has a graphical monochrome LCD, navigation buttons, 4 endless encoders and 4-by-4 pushbuttons with LEDs.

It’s designed to enable interactions like controlling a 16-step sequencer, or as a 4-track arrangement controller, or adjusting 4 different values of one selected object like an ADSR envelope."

The Roland TR-8

Published on Jan 5, 2015 Dylan Nau

"Melodic type performance using only the Roland TR-8. I was inspired by a similar performance by someone else here on youtube on the TR8 and thought it was brilliant so I tried my own style of that. If you know the person please send along his info so I can properly pay tribute. Anyhow, cheers and thanks for checking it out."
