"The SK30 has four sections that can be mixed together independently. Mono synth (also supported by after touch), Polysynth, Strings and Organ. Add to that the SK series unique 'ensemble' feature and you can create some quite fantastic and unique sounds.
The SK30 was next to top of the SK range, featuring the SK10, SK15, SK20, SK30 and SK50D. It has pretty much all the features of the SK50D with the exception of the separate bass control and second keyboard. As such it sits very nicely between the SK20, very popular in Japan since it had great performance and accessible pricing, and the SK50D which was a huge heavy monster with stunning performance and price!"
"Lovely little JEN SX1000 that has seen a major refurb to get it into really nice condition.
All the electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with new but most importantly all the horrible old crackly potentiometers have gone to be replaced by very high quality new items. None of the pots make any crackles anymore and the JEN works just how it should. New knobs have been fitted to match the new potentiometer spindles and a headphone amplifier has been added to allow practice without an amp.
The SX1000 was many peoples first synthesiser back in the early 80's and its sounds still hold a fond place in the hearts of many. They used to be everywhere but are getting increasingly hard to find these days.
Cosmetically this is clean and tidy but its does have age related knocks on the case and the lettering on frequency control have been rubbed away and the paint has needed touching up in that area."

"Mr.Hyde (Analogue Solutions) More resonance -this video shows adding a resonance to a digital synthesizer. Mr.Hyde adds character and filters with resonance to create the analog audio of digital equipment."
The Tidal Wave is in synth voice mode providing pitched filter oscillation sounds with some wave shaping. It also provides a square LFO acting as master clock. The clock is sent through the Doepfer Clock Divider and onwards to drive the Telephone Game, which modulates a whole lot of stuff lot with its five S&H outputs. One thing is the Tidal Wave's clock LFO speed, resulting in rhythm changes. The Telephone Game also provides pitch CV for the Tidal Wave and modulation for the wave shaper and wet/dry mix. S&H input for the Telephone Game is sent from the Kitty Eyes chaos, which is CV-controlled via the Telephone Game's clock division output.
The Ardcore Bit Beats Sketch* receives the clock and creates a binary pattern, outputting lo-fi chiptune audio and two trigger sequences. One resets one of the Zone B.F. LFOs and the other triggers the Kick_Me, which is not heard, but which's two audio outputs modulate the Tidal Wave sound and the Dual Multiplier.
The Dual Multiplier modulates audio from the Dronebank OSCs, which run through the Eternal Spring Filter (modulated by the Telephone Game and Zone B.F.) and through the Hi_Gain, which also mixes some of the Tidal Wave's VCF output in there.
Then there is some Noise from the Telephone Game coming and going and some cross-modulation between Dronebank oscillators and that's pretty much it. :)
"Ambient modular patch with almost no tweaking. Stars of this patch are TURING MACHINE feeding VERBOS HARMONIC OSCILLATOR with CV information. CWEJMAN QMMF-4 and spacy MAKE NOISE ERBE VERB."
"CZZ-Multi is a synthesizer patch for the Organelle that explores tones made with pulse waves. Manipulate envelopes for amplitude, width and tone. Watch the envelope change on the Organelle’s screen as you turn the knobs! Apply a filter and oscillator sync for more tonal control. Visualize your pulse waves with the ETC!"
