Silent Night with the Synthtech E370

Published on Dec 23, 2017
Performed using the Synthesis Technology E370 Quad Morphing VCO, played as a 4-voice synthesizer using MPE controlled by a Roli Rise 49. This was recorded live, no filtering of the E370, with a phaser, convolution reverb and delay in post processing. The only sound generator is the E370.

The 4 voices of the 370 are identical, in 4-voice cloud + morph mode. The MIDI signals from the Rise are converted into control voltages using an Encore Expressionist (8 CVs + 4 gates) and the CV Toolkit software (6 CVs) for a total of 14 CVs and 4 gates.

Each of the 4 voices has 3 independent CVs controlling pitch, volume from MIDI velocity, and cloud spread from the Roli Rise glide (finger position from the front and back). One additional CV controlling overall volume is controlled by an expression pedal, and the last CV from a slider on the Rise controls the morph waveform, which is the same for all 4 voices. In addition the waveform is morphed around the value set by the slider by a slow LFO triangle wave. The note dynamics are controlled by 4 ADSR envelopes triggered by the 4 gates."

Ensoniq FIZMO realtime transwave synthesizer

"I previously had this listed as not working. I thought this was in need of repair, but all along it was a bad power adaptor. I found a spare adaptor and the synth is indeed working great."

Note these still require a voltage regulator fix to be safe. You can find details on the Fizmo fix on Carbon111.

Akai AX80 Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"This Akai AX80 synthesizer is in good condition. There is moderate wear on one of the front corners, and one of the keys on the keyboard was broken, then glued back into place (works fine). Otherwise normal wear for a 35 year old keyboard.

The akai works great, and all the led light are working and intact! I’ve noticed that if I haven’t turned it on in a while, shows it’s age and tends to have a “warm up” period, where it fades in an out and plays “fuzzy” (volume) until it has been on for a bit and works fine."
