via this auction

"For sale here is a rare OSCar Oxford Synthesiser Company. Includes a very nice fitting custom hard case (it will still be double boxed for shipping) and original manual. This OSCar has midi and is 100% fully functional. Cosmetically it's in great shape. It sounds AMAZING, with a huge set of features for the time, including programmable harmonic waveforms, patch memory, sequencer, an awesome arpeggiator, duophonic capabilities (yes you can play two notes at once) along with one of the best filters I have ever played, allowing for LP, BP, HP, overdrive capabilities. Huge bass, leads, effects unlike anything else. One of my favorite monophonic synthesizers of all time, & I've played them all, from Minimoogs to Arp Odysseys to Synton Syrinx. If I had to describe the sound I would say it's instant Boards of Canada, smooth, bubbly, analog with an aggressive Aphex Twin side that can get gritty & rough."

Acidlab Miami Analog Drum Machine

via this auction

"For sale here is an Acidlab Miami. I love this drum machine. I've owned more than a few Roland TR808 and after getting the Acidlab I sold my 808, that's how good this Miami is. It sounds even better in some ways, plus you get modern functionality like midi and advanced programming capabilities all in a smaller size without the vintage gear headaches. Really great machine for the value. This one was a spare back-up machine & hardly ever used. It's in MINT perfect shape & fully functional. Check out the pictures below. Includes power supply for 110v operation. If you can't afford a real 808 or want to deal with hassle of vintage gear, this is the next best thing. Don't miss out!.."

Arp 2600 Rare Vintage Analog Synth + 3620 Keyboard

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

via this auction

"For sale is a rare Arp 2600 synthesizer with the more advanced duophonic 3620 keyboard. There is quite a bit of wear to this one, so be sure to check out the pictures to make sure you like it. While it has seen better days, functionally it is in superb condition. It was reportedly serviced by the previous owner (sorry I don't have the records for servicing) but I have fully tested it and it is 100% fully functional. The only issue I could detect is the pulse waveform on Oscillator 3 is not functioning. The sawtooth section of Oscillator 3 is functioning, so it might just be a simple fix though I can't be sure. Otherwise everything else functions as it should. The keyboard keys all trigger perfectly and play smoothly. Includes original manual and some patch cables."

Roland SVC-350 Vocoder

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

via this auction

"The SVC350 is similar to vocoder section in the VP330, but in a smaller rack form. Yet unlike the VP330, the SVC350 has graphic EQ section that allows you to shape the tone with more control than a VP330 does. This is a classic sounding vocoder, really awesome with vocals and synthesizers but especially cool when paired with drum machines, guitars and effects..."

Patch Notes #23 - Quad Turing Machine Mode in Ornament & Crime

Published on Oct 14, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Testing the deeper functions in Quantermain mode in Ornament & Crime, the quad turing machine mode to be precise! This is an extremely useful and exciting module.

A clock coming from Make Noise Tempi, which is sequencing the 0-Coast. The 0-Coast is routed to the Mutable Instruments Warps for some delay through the Parasites alt firmware, and on to the Malekko Mix4.

Tempi is also clocking the Malekko Varigate 4. One channel is triggering the Slope section in the 0-Coast, which is not modulating the 0-Coast, but rather shaping the kick drum routing inside the Roland Scooper which is also routed on to the Mix4.

Another channel on the Varigate is routed to trigger the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas. All 4 channels on the Ornament & Crime are modulating functions on the BI: pitch, decay, morph and fold. All 4 channels are triggered by Tempi at the TR1 input.

Make Noise René is also receiving clock from Tempi, sending it's QCV out to the DPO, and Xgate out to the Malekko ADLFO. The DPO final out is sent to the Optomix, and then out from the mix output to the Mix4. One channel on the ADLFO is routed to the Optomix channel to open LPG, another is controlling FM depth between the oscillators on the DPO.

The Roland System 1m is played live via the Qunexus keyboard, routed out through the Aux input on the Optomix.

Darkstar - Moog Sub 37, Prophet 6 & Novation Circuit

Published on Oct 14, 2016 Phoenix-Flare

"I performed this a the recent Bristol Synth Meet, but the camera memory ran out and I have redone it at home.
It's an idea me and Chris are working on and should turn into a full song at some point.

The midi sync is working well now, so the Circuit is sending midi clock to the moog, then the prophet to keep the beating LFO in time, then on to the TC electronics delay to keep the echos in beat."

Sharplines - Moog Sub 37, Prophet 6 & Novation Circuit

Published on Oct 14, 2016 Phoenix-Flare

I performed this at the recent Bristol Synth Meet, but the camera memory ran out and I have redone it at home.

My singer Chris is working out some words for this so it should develop further.

This was fun playing live as playing the moog keyboard triggered the arpeg on the Moog and the strings on the Prophet, but playing the Prophet keyboard just played the strings, so flicking between the keys with each hand produced some pleasing changes.

I'm using a control pedal on the Prophet to open the filter. The wheel on the Moog does a LFO pitch shift of oscillator 2 with it in sync mode - lovely sound."
