100% Korg Minilogue XD
Published on Apr 11, 2019 SamiRabia
"This track made completely with the Korg XD.
All the effects are from the synth, with the exception of one delay on the main ARP because I recorded it dry."

Blue Roland SH-101 Synthesizer w/grip, manual & AC adapter
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"I bought my SH-101 in 1982 or 83 from Hoffman Music Company right here in Spokane WA, USA. I am the only owner. It was used primarily in the studio and has few blemishes. See the accompanying images for close ups of the boo boos. There is a crack in the modulation grip; not sure of how that happened.
After years of it sitting idle while I used DAWs and virtual synths to make commercial music, I finally got to using it again for making weird electroacoustic music and jamming with friends who own eurorack modulars. I'm downsizing all my gear and this baby is just too big for the space available. I've tested everything before packing it up and it works perfectly. Speaking of packing, it is packed in a box that's packed in a bigger box."

Oberheim DPX-1 Digital Sample Player

"This is essentially an Emulator II in a rackmount chassis that has the ability to play back samples from many old samplers including S900, ensoniq Mirage, Prophet 2000 and Emulator II.
Has a very similar sound quality to the EII as well as analog filters on board. I wouldn't say identical but very close.
comes with an OLED-equipped floppy emulator with an encoder for scanning through the large sound library it comes with.. you'll get tons of EII sounds, killer Mirage sounds, and lots more."

EMU Emulator II

"The Emulator II is essentially an analog synth that uses sampled waveforms instead of 'oscillators' everything after the sample is similar to an analog synth.. you get resonant SSM filters per voice with lfo, env's and analog VCAs. the end result is that you can take any short sample and craft it into a gorgeous pad or whatever you like, with the ability to tweak parameters with the faders pretty much like on a normal synth.
You can also just use it like a regular sampler and take advantage of the great stock library. Forget about numbers, sample rates, bits and whatever; the magic here is that anything you sample into it will sound better and more musically useful than what you started with, it does for instrument type sounds what an SP1200 does for drums.
Comes with a OLED equipped gotek with an encoder for finding sounds.. (which is much easier than using Hxc's buttons.) and tons of sounds including the stock library of course.. northstar sounds, and more disk images than you can probably ever get through. You can still use floppies too if you are into that kinda thing.
These are big and very heavy machines.. build to an incredibly high standard inside..but there is one problem with shipping them.. the outer case flexes a bit and can easily damage the keys.. my top and bottom keys snapped when it arrived to me originally. I repaired the bottom, but the top is essentially just a cosmetic key since replacements are nearly impossible to find. I never really play in the top octave but its worth mentioning. For this reason I would likely remove the top and bottom keys before shipping and would recommend anyone shipping or receiving one to do the same."

Multivox MX-440

"This is the Multivox MX-440, which is essentially a rebranded MX-202, which is essentially a Roland RS202. It has seen a good bit of use, but it functions properly and sounds great. Two chorus keycaps are missing, but the switches still work.
A little history on the MX440/MX202:
The Multivox MX202 seems to be a component-for-component copy of the RS202. If you compare the two panels, the physical similarities will be obvious. Like the Roland, the MX202/MX440 uses divide-down organ technology to generate a polyphonic sawtooth wave which is passed through a stereo chorus unit.
The MX202 also has a similar sound set - two string footages and a 'brass' sound (i.e. the sawtooth through a simple filter) and the two chorus settings added various degrees of lushness to both. Like the RS202, it has simple control of amplitude envelope with two switched attack rates and a variable release control. Further comparisons with the RS202 can be found in the MX202's keyboard split options that allowed different sounds to be played simultaneously in the low and upper halves of the keyboard."

Dove Audio Waveplane Oscillator Module for Euro or MU Modular Synths
Published on Apr 10, 2019 DoveAudio
Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter here. Dove previously brought us the WTF Oscillator.
Note this is a project from Paula Maddox, the woman behind Modal Electronics and previously Vacoloco.
"The Waveplane oscillator is a new dimension in wavetable synthesis. It allows 6 dimensions of movement for the output wave being generated giving unprecedented amount of motion in a wavetable oscillator. It's designed to fit in your modular synthesiser, either in Eurorack format or MU format.
How Does it Work?
The oscillator generates four simultaneous waveforms and, at its simplest, it lets you seamlessly morph between four different waveforms using the X and Y controls. Along with the X and Y controls having CV inputs, each of the four waveforms has its own wavetable, providing you with 6 dimensions of movement for the output wave being generated, giving unprecedented amount of motion in a wavetable oscillator.
32 Waveforms
Each 'corner' wave has 32 waveforms which are arranged in wavetables. There are, of course, the usual suspects - sawtooth, sine wave, triangle wave and square wave. The remaining 28 waveforms are all newly created to mimic certain types of sounds, like vocal formants, distorted waves, metallic sounds and many more.
You can select the waveform for each corner; each corner has independent control voltages enabling you to create incredibly rich sonic textures.
Wave Inversion
You can also invert the waveforms on the right of the or at the bottom of the waveplane, this lets you create more rhythmical wavetable style sounds.
CV Control of Waveforms
We've added the ability to change all four waveforms independently using control voltages. Used in conjunction with a sequencer or multiple LFOs, this gives you an incredibly powerful sound source full of previously unheard of sonic power."
