Roland TB-303 with Filter, Gate and CV Mod

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"Everything works, sounds amazing. It has been modified by Music Control to allow external control via Kenton midi interface (this is not a complete Kenton upgrade, only control of pitch, gate and filter) On board sequencer much better if DIN synced with a TR-909 to get a groove... Genuine Roland power supply, battery compartment clean and lid is present. Unit was serviced by previous owner, this was completed by Music Control, see sticker on base of instrument."

"This is a beautiful, rare vintage synthesizer made by ELKA in the 1980's. This is production no. 987 of only about 1,100 made in total. It's got a fat, original sound that you only get from analogue synths, and the Elka Synthex is the prince of analogue synths!!

Many famous artists such as "Tangerine Dream", Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran and Stevie Wonder have used one and Jean Michel Jarre swears by it.

Bought originally from the manufacturers in Porto Recanati (AN) Italy in 1984/5. It is in great working order, with only a couple of plastic parts missing, some sign of scratches and wear and tear as in any item used regularly for gigging."

Extended synth Improvisation

Published on Aug 21, 2015 Mitch Wiseman

"I never really do completely improvised live jams anymore, I usually always start with an idea, so I decided to just completely improvise this time. I designed a patch on the prophet and moog, the prophet had an lfo controlling an lfo which was set to cutoff, so it had a really odd texture to the sound which would speed up and slow down randomly. I used a beat I made for another video on the tempest, set it going and then just jammed. I recorded audio straight from my mixer into logic, no post production other than a little compression. Everything was recorded in on one mono channel. The Tempest was going through a HOF reverb, the Prophet was going through a Boss RV5 reverb, the moog was going through an MXR carbon copy delay, and the nord was going through a Line 6 POD.

Album coming soon..."

Insta - A4 Kit Demo

Published on Aug 20, 2015 11brassmonkey11

"I came across this little clip demoing a kit i'd made a few months ago and mucked around with, my intention was to make something much more fleshed out, have since over written the kit by accident... but thought it was still pretty cool to share.

I've just been going through and cleaning up a lot of things on my computer, sorting out my equipment, preparing a music space and getting ready to be productive making some music!"
