"Another great find! This is a legendary, vintage MKII 1980 Roland VP-330 Paraphonic Analogue Vocoder/String Synthesiser in great, original condition.

Apart from the wonderful analogue vocoder, this is easily one of the most beautiful sounding analogue string synthesisers ever made, and I say that having owned most of them. Absolutely nothing else on this planet capable of this sound! The sound is just ridiculously good!

Absolutely awesome sounding stereo ensemble circuit! The stereo phasing you get from chords interacting makes it sound so lush!"

Pittsburgh Modular Patch Box - New Eurorack Format Stompbox for the Floor

via @pghmodular

"Sneak peek of the Patch Box. Fully modular effects for guitars and synths! Details soon....#musikmesse2015"

The next logical step. Modular meets stomp box effects. I was curious when this would happen. Pittsburgh appears to be the first again. First to promote in the mainstream market, and now, first to potentially expand modular to the mainstream guitar market.  Both are good for modular and synths in general as it will bring exposure to those that might have never thought to explore our world before now.

136 Mods: TR-626 & MFB Synth Lite II

Published on Mar 28, 2015 The Outsider

"Note: There are not one-hundred-thirty-six mods on these devices. 136 Mods is the name of my gear modding alter ego. This is the third 626 I've modded. There are 21 patch points connected to select pins on IC15, as well as a global pitch down switch on the 626. The Synth Lite II didn't have a noise source, so I built one based around a pair of 2N3904 transistors, wired up in what's called a 'reverse-biased emitter-base junction' and tacked a pre-fab pre-amp mini mini mini PCB which uses a surface mount LM386 amplifier IC. This particular mod isn't quite finished, as I still haven't found a pot small enough to cram in the enclosure so that the volume of the noise is adjustable. Shits & giggles, kiddies!"

Created a new 136 Mods channel label for these.

Night jamz 1 (Volca Keys/Beats, SQ-1, microKORG,UVI)

Korg SQ-1s on eBay

I like the background on this one. The main sequence is a bit overpowering. Would be great to have it weave in and out at lower volume.

"Unplanned jam session. I just turned everything on and started playing. I sorta wanted to play on just the SQ-1 and Keys but that takes a back seat to everything else. Oh well. You can see the rack equipment too! Experimenting with combining VST synths with the real thing as well. Thanks for watching/listening!
