"XILS-lab literally creates plug-in pleasure principal when recreating revolutionary polysynth

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: audio software company XILS-lab is proud to announce availability of PolyM — an authentic recreation of the pioneering Polymoog polysynth, dreamed up by American designer Dave Luce and produced by Moog Music between 1975-1980, but benefitting from finest French software skills to truly create a plug-in pleasure principal as arguably the best ‘virtual’ divide-down oscillator technology-toting soft synth available anywhere and teaching the old dog some new tricks in the process — as of July 3...

That’s today. Putting PolyM in its present-day context involves initially looking back. But back in the early-Seventies, setting out to create an analogue, functional voltage-controlled synthesizer that was polyphonic against a backdrop of monophonic mainstays proved problematic for many. Moog’s musical solution came quicker than most, making an appearance in 1975 in its extremely expensive ($5,295 USD), nine-preset original form as the Polymoog keyboard (model 203a). It included a front panel packed with an almost continuous row of slider pots (permitting presets to be fully modified into more individualised analogue sounds via various subtractive synthesis parameters, including a 24dB Moog ladder filter section — allowing modulation modulated from its own envelopes and low frequency oscillation — alongside a unique and flexible three-band resonant filter section with lowpass/bandpass/high-pass filter modes) before being joined in 1978 by a marginally more economically-viable ($3,995 USD), 14-preset stripped back version (with editing reduced to volume, tuning, high-pass filtering, and basic LFO — Low Frequency Oscillator — features), which was also (confusingly) called the Polymoog keyboard (model 280a), though the original fully-variable version was then rebadged, admittedly, as the Polymoog Synthesizer.

"In case you didn't get enough LinnDrum repair excitement last week in Synthchaser #072, I'm back at it again, firing up a customer's "Wildcard" LinnDrum, which was purchased in unknown condition and without a power supply. We troubleshoot and fix some dead and incorrect drum sounds and give yet another LinnDrum a chance at life.

I repair and restore vintage synths (and drum machines!) for customers around the world."

Model 15 + Eurorack


Published on Jul 3, 2017 chisel316

"This is a demonstration of integrating hardware (Eurorack) and software (Moog Model 15) together in a patch. I'm using AUM and zMors Modular on the iPad to setup the Audio/MIDI Bridge plumbing, respectively. I'm also using Midiflow to remap CC16-19 since those are the Model 15 MIDI Bridge CCs that were conflicting with the Novation Launch Control XL which I'm using to control Model 15. The Ardcore is running FlexArp by rockwoofstone which is sending a 1V/Oct signal to Model 15 through the MIDI Bridge (zMors converts the CV to MIDI). I'm using the Model 15 oscillators and filters and the Kraftzwerg's LFO and envelopes. The PEG is providing the master clock. Lastly, the Expert Sleepers ES-3/ES-6 combo is providing the gateway between the hardware and software using a Behringer UMC 1820 as the audio interface. Hope you enjoy it!

Vintage Roland SH-101 Analog Synthesizer SN 585929

"Up for sale is a basically mint Roland Sh-101. Zero color fading, no marked visible wear of any sort. Just see pics....its a stunner. Can't imagine it was played if at all.

However, it has an issue where is plays notes that repeat every other key. (every other key repeats the note from 2 keys previous, so the total number of sounds coming from keyboard is much lower)

Could be a quick fix, maybe a very cheap one too. I'd list a mint 101 for over $1000....so I'm cutting list price by 3-$350, so if you can do it yourself, you've just picked up the nicest 101 on ebay :)"
