Hexinverter - Red Dragon

Published on Nov 14, 2016 DivKidVideo

"*PLEASE NOTE* this is a prototype with an overlay over the cut blank panel. Functions/sound is the same but it will be a standard panel, note white as this looks.

The Red Dragon is a Soviet inspired (cough cough Polivoks) based low pass filter. It offers an overdrive at the input stage, 6dB to 24dB response to the cut off, two resonance flavours and a VCA on the output. It takes to modulation like a trooper! Check it out."

"Live jam using analogue synths: AJH Mini Mod full system (pattern), Roland SH-1 (melodies), Intellijel Atlantis (drone).
Recorded into Reaper DAW, with Eventide Ultraverb (trial version - it's too expensive for me). Pattern on the Mini Mod system was from an Arturia Keystep via Expert Sleepers FH-1.

The Brooklyn Synth Expo - Video & Pics

The Brooklyn Synth Expo - The Deli Magazine Presents

Published on Nov 13, 2016 Elevtr Trax

"Soon after 12:00pm yesterday the synth noodling, seasoned connoisseur, and curious gear aficionados poured into Williamsburg's Main Drag Music. This years expo featured the latest and the vintage in product-lines from Moog, Eventide, Prophet, Korg, Native Instruments, and more, allowing the public to get their hands on synths, throw some headphones on, and hear what noises they could make for themselves. I spoke to Shareef Islam, Eastcoast Rep of Native Instruments in our video above...(read full)"

2000s Red Alesis Andromeda 16-Voice Analog Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"The Alesis Andromeda is far and away from any other analog synthesizer you've likely played. The designers went bonkers loading up on features:
16 analog voices
Oscillators derived from the Moog Modular 921 Module
Two filters per voice: Moog ladder and Oberheim SEM
Arpeggiator and Sequencer
Looping multi-stage envelopes with user defined curves
Ring Mod, Filter Feedback, and FM capability.
Three LFOs plus Sample-Hold
Built-in digital effects section

And that's just scratching the surface. If you're looking at this you're probably aware of the staggering sonic prowess this instrument is capable. Beginners should be warned - programming this synth is deep and immersive. Andromeda may not be for everyone. You may begin to feel some side effects: sleep deprivation, sudden inexplicable loss of time and missing appointments, difficulty breathing, skipping meals, excitability and rapid heart-rate. If you experience arousal for more than four hours, call your immediate supervisor and request some time off this week.

The red version is functionally identical to the blue versions, a purely cosmetic discussion. However the red face overlay is a limited edition that was manufactured prior to Alesis getting involved with Numark."

Vintage ARP Omni Keyboard Synthesizer Overhauled with Blue LED Sliders SN 24832546

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

via this auction

"This synthesizer has just been fully serviced by Synthchaser - recapped, new bushings, LED sliders, fully functional, calibrated, tuned and sounding great. This keyboard is the sound of Joy Division and is all over The Cars' "Moving In Stereo". It produces the lush Solina/String Ensemble sounds plus has a polyphonic synthesizer section with a voltage controlled filter, LFO, and ADSR.

Overall good condition for a 40 year old synthesizer, with some cosmetic issues as visible in the photos (scratches on the paint of the case, etc)

Synthchaser Precision LED slider upgrade. All 15 of the old original sliders have been replaced with new, smooth, high precision LED illuminated sliders. The difference in the way these sliders feel and perform compared to the originals is a huge improvement.
Synthchaser Capacitor Kit installed - 108 polarized capacitors in the synthesizer (not just the power supply) have been replaced to help provide stable operation for years to come.
4075 Filter Enhancement - The voltage controlled filter has been recapped and enhanced to correct an error with the original design which limited the frequency response to about 12kHz.
Keyboard rebuild - New key bushings installed, keys removed and washed, key bed leveled, key contacts cleaned and adjusted
Oscilloscope Calibration - Fully calibrated to factory spec under measurement by oscilloscope
The LEDs are very bright blue. I can change them to a less bright Orange if the buyer would like."
