"This is a fully loaded 120 Programs 8 Voice OB-Xa with aftermarket MIDI that currently does not turn on. I believe its power supply needs to be rebuilt, as it seems that the caps have dried up. I used this synth in my studio for years and it was fully working, but I moved recently and needed to store it as I didn't have room for it in my new space, and when I took it out of storage, it wouldn't turn on anymore. Sadly, at this time I don't have the time to commit to repairing it or the space for it, so I wanted to pass it on to someone who can give it more attention. Obviously due to the nature of this item its offered AS-IS."

Monophonic vs. Polyphonic Synthesizers: Which is Right For You? | Reverb

Published on Nov 8, 2018

"Monophonic synth or polyphonic synth? You’ve considered things like type of synthesis (analog versus digital), size, number of keys, and connectivity. You’ve thought about new versus vintage and weighed the pros and cons of both. You’ve made a list of different manufacturers, visited shops to try them out, and watched countless hours of demos on YouTube. But now the question is: Which do you need? Justin Delay is here to help make the decision less intimidating.

The most extreme delay effect in the world!?

Third video is super nice.

The most extreme delay effect in the world!
Rain I | Andrew Huang

Generative sequence coming from Eloquencer - about half the notes are set to skip or slightly vary in pitch about half the time. The sequence plucks nRings (4-note polyphony, modulated/inharmonic string mode) which runs through Rainmaker for delay, Jellysquasher for compression, and Morgasmatron for a bit of low pass filtering in the outro. Towards the end I also fade Rainmaker gradually to full wet.

CV coming from Noise Tools' slew output (attenuated by Quad VCA), Pamela's New Workout, and Dual S&H, to modulate the delay time and nRings' "brite" and "damp". In hindsight I should have attenuated further because the delay signal's pitch gets a little too warbly at times.

Final output brought into Ableton to pass through a FabFilter Pro-R reverb and to add the rain recording.

Rain II | Andrew Huang

A variation on the patch I posted yesterday. I randomized Eloquencer's sequence, randomized Rainmaker's settings, changed nRings' to sympathetic strings mode and fine tuned some of its other parameters, and this whole other piece arrived in a matter of minutes.
