To the left is what appears to be a new Doepfer Dark Energy III. Below are two images of the Dark Energy II (announced in December of 2012) for comparison. The only discernible difference I'm seeing on the front panel is in the bottom row of jacks. On the Dark Energy II you can see three outputs, one for LFO1, one for Envelope, and one for Audio. On the new Dark Energy III a Reset LFO1 input, a Reset LFO2 input, and the Audio out. On the Dark Energy II there are four CV outputs and one Gate output on the back. The Dark Energy II panel matches the original.
Update via unknown in the comments: "The Dark Energy III has a different Waveform (Shape)..."
You can see the III has a triangle waveform on the bottom of the toggle switch, while the original has a ramp type wave. If anyone spots anything else feel free to leave a comment. The Ext. Audio label changed to External Audio of course.
"Trying out some new techniques with video synthesis. RGB overlays and their interactions. Plus another attempted at syncing up the video to the audio I created.
As usual, Roland TB-303s, TR-808 and TR-909 recorded into Reason, and then messed about with until something resembling a song comes out."
"Is the First VCA-CV controller + sequencer in the series, assuming a combination of a driftbox S / R synthesizer and an external device such as a sequencer. Two large joysticks control the CV output on the X axis with VCA on the Y axis. Although oscillator is not installed in driftbox J itself, by inputting audio and CV / GATE / MIDI signal from the outside, it is possible to change the level and pan without changing the audio signal groove, output the processed CV It is possible to manipulate parameters of other synthesizers.
It corresponds to synchronization by CV or MIDI as master / slave, and in manual / loop mode it can record movement of two joysticks in real time with built-in 16 step sequencer. You can also use the step mode to input stick motion for each step.
Also, real-time operation with programmed VCA and joystick can be output at the same time. By integrating programs and manual operations, sequence changes and expressions that do not predict live performance etc. are created. You can also combine multiple driftboxes J to create more complex and radical movements

"Rare and sought after unit that has been discontinued by FutureRetro who even sold out of the rack ears that come with near the end of their sales. Superb synth and amazing sound and flexibility."
"FORMANTA P-432 is a polyphonic digital preset synthesizer designed for both solo and ensemble performance. It has a 3-octave keyboard, 32 timbres and 4-voice polyphony. UNISON and CHORUS effects are available. Sound modulation parameters: VIBRATO (with variable frequency and depth), tune adjustment and a joystick for controlling modulation and pitch in the real-time mode. A foot pedal is provided for switching on/off SUSTAIN and VIBRATO parameters."
"This video shows some of the sounds that can be generated with the Korg Prologue synthesizer. This video shows a 16 voice, but there is also an 8 voice version available. The Prologue has 3 oscillators, 2 analog and a powerful digital oscillator, an analog filter and high quality digital effects.
"Schtang & Aengus return for another live studio hardware jam. Changed direction and worked this introspective ambient jam with some rainforest flavours. This is part 1 of 2 installments, with the second taking on a more percussive and driving feel.
This is a slightly developed studio jam and shows us experimenting with soundscapes before progressing it into a solid piece in the second installment. Still discovering our synergy together and working at using instruments and effects that complement our playing style and taste.
Studio Talk:
The Microkorg offers the central melodic pad and some intermittent bass sounds gluing the composition together. It is being processed by the TC Electronic M300 multi effects unit to give it some more space and eloquence in the mix.
The Elektron Octatrack MKII sets the mood with some rainforest soundscapes and acts as an effects unit for the Moog Sub37
The Moog Sub37 provides a surreal arp which intermingles with the other sounds and creates the rhythmic driving element.
The Electribe 2 is the central hub and acts as the midi clock while also sequencing and processing the Korg Volca Keys.
Everything runs back into the Mackie VLZ4 2404 and all mixing was done via the console"
Schtang & Aengus - Alluvium Part 2 (Percussive Jam) ft. Octatrack mkii, E2, TR08, Sub37, Microkorg)
Published on Jan 18, 2018 Schtang
"The second installment of Alluvium by Schtang and Aengus. Picking things up from the ambience of Part 1 and developing it into a more refined and rhythmic performance.
Very excited at our progress and we will continue to post our music whether it's well crafted or not. Keen to hear how you think of our progress!
Studio yarn:
The TR-08 is the driving percussive element of the tune with its signature kicks and hats driving the progression and mood.
The Korg Microkorg adds some warmth with wide, luscious pads.
The Electribe 2 provides some backup percussive elements and sequences and processes the dark tones from the Volca Keys.
The Octatrack sets the mood for the piece with some atmospheric percussion and forest ambience.
The Sub37 provides the panning growling bass patch which shuffles in and out of the piece."
