*OBX Synthesizer Voice Expansion & Parts from Abstrakt Instruments on Kickstarter

On Kickstarter here.

"This is your chance to help fund and procure parts for the iconic Oberheim OB-X synthesizer. This is a passion project which came about through product development & engineering. We have built and tested numerous assemblies from our favorite vintage synths for the purpose of studying the intricacies of each design. After testing, these parts are generally used in our in-house machines or neatly stored away. In the case of the OB-X, employees & visitors alike were asking to remake these parts. Since we are not in the primary business of selling parts or kits it took some convincing. These designs are completely finished. We've established a goal of $10k to make sure we have enough quantity to hit our pricing targets. If the goal is reached at the end of the funding period we will immediately send out for the parts to be made. We do not anticipate offering these parts for sale in the future. This project is more of a give-back to the vintage synth community as opposed to a practical money-making venture.

Before getting into the details of the actual parts we'll clearly state what is being offered. We are offering various voice-related parts for the OB-X synthesizer, including bare PCB's, fully assembled PCB's, and fully assembled kits.

Roland TR8S + Elektron Octatrack

Published on Jun 6, 2018 Seen From Space

"My first pairing of these two boxes. MIDI clock is from the TR8S because it's better for pattern-based tempo control. Audio from the TR8S goes into a Thru machine on the Octatrack and filtered from scene to scene."

2x Treadstone synth & Korg PS3100 short 'jam'

Published on Jun 7, 2018 Analogue Solutions

"Showing how good Treadstone analogue synths can be to provide accompaniment! One is producing the bass/loop, the other the percussive sound. Both using there internal MIDI Loop sequencer, synced with a simple patch lead. No MIDI.
The PS3100 is played live and is a beautiful sounding vintage synth"

Instruo - Tona (Saw-Core Analogue VCO with Linear FM & Wavefolder)

Published on Jun 7, 2018 DivKidVideo

"This is Tona from Instruo. It's a 12HP saw core analogue VCO with the usual square, saw/ramp, triangle and sine wave outputs but there's also an on board wave folder that takes the sine and uses a slider to create the fold level as well as a CV input and attenuator to modulate the folding. There's also a sync and linear FM input. It tracks well, sounds great, and works great with the Ts-L as a complimentary pair of oscillators."

VCV Rack Power Meter & Freak Low Power Mode

Published on Jun 7, 2018 Leonardo Laguna Ruiz

"This video shows the new Low Power mode for Freak and also tries to explain the new VCV Rack power meter."

Interesting look at how VCV modules are developed and an interesting analogy of voltage power for hardware to CPU resources for software.
