"live performance."

Anyone ID what that is on the upper left?

Update via theo in the comments: "that's a DEP from Gieskes (http://gieskes.nl/effects/?file=dep-2) that my brother Miloyko burrowed from me"

"It is the much rarer version with the CV control inputs which is huge as far as making it a lot more controllable with CV. It is in very good condition with just a bit of wear on the wood paneling but nothing major. It also has been serviced and calibrated by Control Voltage in Portland OR so it runs like a charm, stays in tune and sounds AMAZING!"

If I remember correctly these were somewhere between digital PCM and analog modeling synths at the time. Same for Quasimidi's Polymorph.

Dave Smith Pro2 Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"The Pro 2 is Dave Smith’s flagship mono synth, and as Dave himself puts it, his 'most powerful mono synth ever.' The Pro 2 shares the same exceptional ergonomics and playability as its 12-voice sibling, the Prophet 12, but carves out distinctly different sonic territory with an all-new dual analog filter architecture, a monster step sequencer, superwaves, digital bucket-brigade delay, and a lot more. Nothing else sounds like it and nothing else performs like it. It raises the bar for monosynths and redefines the word 'fat.'"

MUTABLE INSTRUMENTS WARPS Vocoder Mode Testing

Published on Nov 11, 2015 SYNTH GURU

"Overview

Twists and warps two signals into one.

With a powerful digital core, Warps provides a collection of 6 modulation methods that can be continuously blended into one another: crossfading, cross-wavefolding, diode ring-modulation, balanced modulation (multiplication), XOR modulation, and waveform comparison/doubling. Each of these algorithms has a voltage-controlled timbre parameter, providing a variable level of tone coloration - from slight and sweet to harsh.

In addition, Warps provides a 20-band vocoder, with control over the envelope followers' decay time and the "warping" of the formants.

Before being processed, the two input audio signals are gain-controlled - with a linear and clean curve degenerating into analog-like saturation at the far end of the CV input range.

Warps can replace its first channel (carrier signal) by an internal oscillator, with sine, triangle, sawtooth, vocal buzz or noise waveforms.

Features

Continuous morphing between 7 cross-modulation algorithms: crossfade, cross-folding, digital model of analog diode ring-modulation, digital ring-modulation, bitwise XOR modulation, octaver/comparator, 20-band vocoder.
Control of timbre richness/brightness.
Each audio input has a built-in digital VCA with emulation of analog soft-clipping.
Audio input 1 can be replaced by an internal digital oscillator with through-zero FM. Available waveforms: sine, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, filtered noise.
Controls

Modulation algorithm morphing.
Timbre richness.
Input gain/distortion for audio inputs 1 and 2.
