"This is a demo of some of the Akai AX73 patches"

via this auction

"Refurbished Akai AX73 Synthesizer for sale. Item has been dismantled, cleaned, replaced key contact strips and some keys, recapped PSU and added new faders. All 6 CEM 3394s running well, and circuitry in excellent condition. Internal battery is good.

This is one well built synthesizer, and the keyboard is a dream to play. Lots of features for a vintage 80s polysynth at this price point.

This synth is built for industrial music, and has lots of features that help contribute to it's gritty sound, including extreme resonance with its 4 pole filter. Please see my demos below for examples of this.

I have added a demo of some of the best built in sounds to show what it can do. I also added 20 unique patches in what I like to call an industrial suite, in patches 80-99. I have added a demo of these patches also. Please see my youtube channel for the other demos. You should find it via the attached video"

The Deluge has an internal Mikrofon - Sunday Jam / Live Session

Published on Oct 14, 2018 Kapuzal

"Weil es so schön war, weil das erste nur schlecht umgesetztes Modulargespiele war (da hab ich einfach noch vieeeeeeeel zu lernen) und weil mich die Pferde heute versetzt haben... eine Sonntags Abend Jam / Session.. Ja, das geht gut ohne Digitakt Master, der macht jetzt einfach nur die Drums und a bissl Bass :-) love it

Because it was so nice, because the first was only poorly implemented Modular gimmick (because I've just sooooo much to learn already) and because the horses have put me today ... a Sunday evening Jam / Session .. Yes, that all works well without Digitakt Master, it just makes the drums and a bit bass :-) Deluge the new Master of Desaster :-)"

One Small Synth, Ep. 8: Bastl Microgranny

Published on Oct 14, 2018 Aidan Burns-Fulkerson

"This is the eighth installment in a micro-series diving deep into my collection of very small synthesizers and samplers. Each episode will explore one little music machine. There will be no talking, just music or noise, depending on the synth in question and your personal taste in sound.

The Bastl Microgranny is the most recent addition to my tiny synth family. It is a monophonic granular synthesizer/sampler, meaning that it can chop up samples into minuscule bits and play those bits back in different ways. It’s a really remarkable little device that can create crunchy and gritty renditions of any sound. It’s also able to interface with midi devices, allowing it to be played like any monophonic synth, using a midi keyboard or sequencer for control. For this demo, however, I’m going to stick with using the Microgranny as a stand-alone device to highlight its sound mangling abilities."
