"Ensoniq ESQ-1 in excellent condition. Very clean. Fully functional, no issues. Comes with ESQ Voice-80 Vol. 1 cartridge which has 80 voices in addition to the 40 factory internal preset voices (note that the cartridge voices can not be overwritten like the internal voices). Light wear, and light scuffing of the end cheeks (see photos). Firmware version 2.30."
"Excellent condition. I refurbished the keyboard, so no clicking or sticking of keys. In fact, I used the newer one piece green contact strip, instead of the older two-piece. Everything works as far as I can tell from running diagnostics and playing. Sliders, knobs, and buttons work well. Power cord included.
This JD has the small mod that lightens up the aftertouch, so you don't have to press as hard to get the aftertouch to sound."
"15 years ago it probably would have cost upwards of $15,000 to buy the hardware synths needed to make all these sounds. We live in good times. This is just a little jam done on iPad with a bunch of very reasonably priced synth apps:
Odyssei by Korg (Arp Odyssey - 1972) [iTunes]
iVCS3 by Apesoft (EMS VCS3 - 1969) [iTunes]
iMini by Arturia (Minimoog - 1970) [iTunes]
Also used Auria Pro Daw and Sector for the drums
Video also includes preview of iVCS3 Audio Unit (Coming in v2 late 2016) using iVCS3 as an effect unit"
"In this video I am playing back a sequenced bassline into the Korg Mono/Poly while tweaking some settings on the synth's front panel. The sequencer is the Arturia Keystep, the drum machine is Funkbox (Drumulator set), the delay effecting the Korg is the Alesis Ineko and the mixer is a Roland M-16E. No EQ was used on the Korg. I recorded the main mix on a Roland Super UA audio interface."
"Just a few pictures from the Brighton Modular Meet. Only really got odd bits of footage from the event but I always like to try and share things from the UK events as people always seem to say 'I didn't know this was evening happening'. "
The 1st in the Dave Smith Instruments' "In The Spotlight with the Tempest" series is currently up with Sofia Hultquist here.
"Drum & Lace, aka Sofia Hultquist, is an Italian composer focusing on fashion and film. Her composition work ranges from writing music for video look-books and creating soundscapes for fashion presentations, to composing scores for feature-length films.

She’s currently based in Los Angeles, where she shares a home studio with her husband Ian (also a composer) and her two dogs, Fiamma and Lupo."
"This track was created with 100% nothing but the Moog Mother 32 and a touch of reverb on each recording. Drums, synths, pads, everything is from the Moog Mother 32.

"Another Novation Circuit demo showing how beautiful this piece of gear can sound. 100% Circuit, no external effects or instruments used. I have imported my own samples into the Circuit for the drum parts and used the sample flip feature to use more samples."
3. Novation Circuit - 'Distance'
"Novation Circuit track, no external effects or instruments. 100% Novation Circuit.
I've created my own synth patches using the free Circuit Editor, and imported my own samples for the drum parts using Circuit Components."
