"Here's another Polar Junior 106!

Inside it has the "total restoration package" and the voice chips and work are guaranteed for 8 years.

On the outside , It is a completely new custom synth , in our favorite white polar color scheme.

This Junior 106 also has a copy of the "best of the best" sounds, organized via bank.

All junior 106 owners will receive a free upgrade in the coming months. It's a special "bass mode octave switch" that puts the junior down into the low octaves.

You can still access all notes thru midi, and patches in 16' with the sub oscillator are still VERY low when played on the junior's key bed.

This is a perfect gigging synth, as many are already using the junior to play live."

"I created this short modular synthesizer jam to feature all the Mutant drum modules from Hexinverter, which include:

Hexinverter Mutant Bassdrum
Hexinverter Mutant Snare
Hexinverter Mutant Hihats
Hexinverter Mutant Clap

Malekko Varigate 4 triggers the drums.

Mutable Instruments Peaks is used as a 4-step sequencer triggering the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas to create the bassline.

Voice sample is included on the USB drive with the Bastl Instruments grandPA.

-------------------------------

I recorded audio and video with an iPhone 6+

No computers were used in the performance of this piece. All synths recorded live in a single take."

Megaohm Delta distortion

Megaohm Delta distortion from Richard Galbraith on Vimeo.

"Here's a patch highlighting the Megaohm Delta low pass filter, with some high resonance and FM settings. The arpeggiation is the result of two LFOs (Grove Audio) and a joystick (Grove Audio) being fed into a Synthesizers.com Q171 quantizer, which then drives a dotcom Q106 VCO. Two waveforms from this oscillator are used, the saw directly into the Delta, and the triangle first routed through the Ian Fritz/SSL 5 Pulser. The background is a rather uninspired sequence...a microbrute being sequenced by a Fritz/SSL Double Deka oscillator at low frequency. Both parts are given digital delay. Some Valhalla Room is added at the beginning and again towards the end."

Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synth 2 Classic Nintendo Sound

Published on May 17, 2016 TecHyper

"The Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synth II is an AVR-microcontroller-based music synthesizer that faithfully recreates the classic sound of the Nintendo Entertainment System’s audio hardware. The device is the successor to the Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synthesizer, a project launched on Kickstarter in 2015.

No programming is required and there is no software to install. Simply connect a MIDI controller to play the NES classics live or create your own original chiptunes.

The design of the Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synth II is the culmination of the lessons learned from the original Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synthesizer project launched in 2015. The most valuable resource in the development of the Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synth II has been the feedback from the community of Kickstarter backers who funded the original project. The Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synth II features many hardware and software improvements on its predecessor."
