Published on Sep 8, 2015 EHX

See how many of the tunes you can recognize.

"Completing the powerful trilogy forged by the B9 and C9 Organ Machines, the new KEY9 emulates the world’s most coveted electric pianos and more. With 9 presets, you can transform your axe and lay down a cool “Riders on the Storm” style groove or some hot funk ala 'What’d I Say!'

Take it from Mike Matthews who says: 'You’ll dig the way the KEY9 turns you into a Rhodes Scholar!'

Watch effects guru, Bill Ruppert, demonstrate the KEY9.

Sputnik Modular - Karplus String Creature

Published on Sep 8, 2015 DivKidMusic

"Been having some real fun with the Sputnik Modular modules. There's already a video of the quad VCF/VCA here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG9QZ... [posted here] - and videos to come on the whole range coming as soon as I can do (don't worry they're coming!). Here's a patch utilising the audio rate delay capability of the Delay / Dual Crossfader module which really is a new love of mine. Patching your own feedback path and dry wet mix is awesome, I feel it pushes you to think about the signal path and doing more interesting things with the feedback path as well (although here I left it simple). The Quad Function Generator is on modulation duties modulating the amplitude of a white noise signal going into the Delay to excite the 'virtual string' the delays are creating. Lots of cross patching and feedback routing with the envelopes resulting in a fun patch where small movements of knobs seems to result in endless chains of random things flying out."

Arp Axxe Analog Synth & Little Brother in Original Unified Single Case

"This is a gorgeous little ARP combo in a very old original built case with lid and legs. You can see form the pics that conditon is excellent for the Axxe and overall for both units is pretty good although the Little Brother badge could do with some 'reinvigorating'. There is loads of info regarding these items online, but i would definitely say that the Little Brother is a very rare unit on its own, i've hardly ever seen these up for sale!!! I paid a significant amount of money to have everything brought back to full 'like new' working order with Saint Eric- the boards have been washed, sliders repaired/lubed and Key contacts polished..."

See the third pick for what it looks like under the faux wood laminate case.

"KORG Mono/Poly for sale. A classic synth with monophonic/polyphonic capabilities. Its Four VCOs can be linked or played independently. It also has super unique functions like chord memory and an arpeggiator. It was cleaned and restored a couple years ago and has a very clean bill of health, except for a few cosmetic blemishes, which is to be expected for a 30+ year old synth."
