Elka Capri 300 / Panther 300 Combo Organ with Strings & More

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

"Here we have a 1960's Elka Capri 300 combo organ. It is identical to the more well known Elka Panther 300. According to the Combo Organ Heaven website, this organ was marketed under two different names depending on the location.

This organ has been professionally serviced and is in great working condition. We recapped the power supply, cleaned the keyboard bus bars, replaced the tone decay lamp, replaced the knobs and tuned the oscillators. We also replaced some faulty components that were causing some parts of the organ to not function.

Features include: multiple vibrato options, multiple footages per note with selectable filters for each footage, mixture control for unique harmonics / ring modulator like sound, fully polyphonic bass section with optional extension for two octaves of bass (grey keys), tone decay (subtle envelope applied to the mixture footages).

The output of this organ uses a TRS (stereo) jack. The purpose of this is to allow you to use a bass amp for the bass section, and another amp for everything else. If you plug in a regular mono instrument cable, you will not hear any bass section. You can use an adapter that merges the two signals into one cable, or you can use a split cable and plug the two ends into two different amps.

There is a discoloration on one corner of the organ. We've included a picture showing that. The organ also comes with a sheet music stand and we'll include a power plug with it."

Product Overview: The Novation Circuit

Published on Sep 23, 2016 Magnetic Magazine

"Magnetic contributor and Moody Records label manager Ben A drops an excellent overview of the Novation Circuit.

Earlier this year we got a look at the Circuit during the annual NAMM conference, and we were blown away. The Novation Circuit is actually an independent musical sketchpad that has it's own onboard drums and synths + it works with your DAW like any standard MIDI controller.

No computer no problem. The four–part drum machine and two polyphonic synths can be sequenced in real time or via steps. You can listen to your composition on the onboard speaker or plug in your headphones; this thing runs on batteries, so you are truly mobile."

Percussa Intros Synthor Modular Synthesis System (Knobcon 2016)

"At Knobcon 2016, Synthtopia talked with Percussa's Bert Schiettecatte, who gave us an overview of their new Synthor Modular Synthesis System.

The Synthor system is built around the idea of tangible computing - where physical objects are used to represent and control virtual objects within software applications.

With Synthor, the Percussa AudioCubes act as wireless controllers that let you create synth patches, while the Remote lets you control things like patch selection and settings for virtual modules.

Stereoping Peach Clock - perfect midiclock sync between Volcas and FL Studio

Published on Sep 30, 2016 stereoping

"Your Volca/Drumbox does not want to run in sync with FL Studio over midiclock? This video shows the reason and my experimental workaround: the STEREOPING PEACH CLOCK. It converts audio pulses sent from the DAW into Midi Clock information (START/CLOCK/STOP) for the Volcas. Now they run perfectly synced together with FL Studio as proofed in the video. This is not a product demo, the Peach Clock can not be purchased (... yet - it might, if the interest is big enough). The video is just for educational purposes. I also have an article about the Peach Clock on my website." http://www.stereoping.com
