Knobcon: Polyfusion Modular Synthesizer Returning After 40 Years

Published on Sep 10, 2018 Synthtopia

Some fascinating history with early Moog Music covered in this one.

"Here's an interview with one of the creators of the classic Polyfusion 2000 modular system, Ron Folkman.

Folkman is working with partners Jim Soloman and Jammie Logan to reissue the original system, and to create a new line of updated modules. They were showing the 1979 Polyfusion 'monster' of Toto's Steve Porcaro, 'Darius'.

Synth master Matt Baxley, aka Moot Booxle
(https://www.youtube.com/user/mootbooxle), also stopped by to check out the vintage Polyfusion monster synth."

Introduction to Phase Shifting with the Roland 578

Published on Sep 10, 2018

"By popular request, I've uploaded a movie from my Learning Modular: Level 1 starter course on phase shifting, using the Roland 578 Phaser/Chorus/Gate Delay module. It breaks down this way:

00:00 overview of external effects
00:36 patch breakdown
01:16 phase shifting basics
03:03 using an external LFO
04:06 using a mod wheel to control LFO rate
05:11 using a mod wheel for the wet/dry mix
05:52 using a mod wheel to directly control the phase shift

Roland Jupiter-6 Keyboard Synthesizer

Stronger than an Ox sticker. This one was listed back in April.

"All sliders are smooth and straight.
It was fully serviced by Roland in 2002.
Completely tested and inspected under the hood last month by Heyday Music, Asheville.
It has spent the last 20 years in an air-conditioned studio with occasional use.

There is a marking/smudge of unknown origin to the right of the "Jupiter-6" logo on the right side of the synth. (I never even noticed it until I had to photograph it)
There is also a sticker on the front left. This could probably be removed with the right care."
