"All working as it should apart from two minor but workable quirks. The volume slider if pushed to the left can cut out but this is easily remidied if you hold it to the right when moving it, or if you want to set and forget, stick a bit of card to the left of the knob. The other quirk is that the arp latch button can be temperamental when pressed but then it's an old synth and hasn't caused me any issues when playing it."
"If you're clicking you know how rare and desirable these synths are - the all-black Ninja edition of the Sidstation was the most limited production run. They go for a lot - there's currently another "Ninja" on Reverb for $1,886 (+ $125 shipping), so mine is priced to move at $400 less. Only 50 were ever made - unlikely never see another one of these for anything close to this price! Has blue LEDs and looks / sounds awesome.
The Sidstation is the guts of a Commodore 64 with an analog filter and custom software to bring out the power of the original, NOS chipset. Three syncable oscillators produce 8bit waveforms, with wavetables, ring modulation etc. Can make classic video game tones, but can do much more - has a much more raw and powerful sound than a standard analog synth.
Excellent condition sonically and cosmetically. Comes with original power supply, and you can download the manual from Elektron - who went on to make the MachineDrum, Analog Four, Digitakt etc., so they are still going strong."
"This is a technique i've been using for awhile, it really helps when performing while improvising. Grab something you like, repeat it while you figure out something else that works well too."

"EarthQuaker debuted their first eurorack module, the Afterneath, at EarthQuaker Day 2019 and Richard was able to get one in a case and try it out with a pair of Voltage Labs. This is one of his first experiments. A nice lo-fi sequence to balance the party atmosphere of the event."
"A little composition exercise which leaded into sth. like an Anime soundtrack. Imagine a melancholic person sitting by the sea or gazing into a wide landscape in late summer. Simple setup: Kawai K4 (Guitar) and Roland JV-1080 (Piano & Horns). Drums from Alesis HR-16 and a midified Hammond AutoVario 64. Besides rare superimpositions of gear, the Video just contains the progressing FL Studio playlist digging through the midi-clips containing the notes being fired to the synths and drummachines. (In case you wonder... 2-4 notes were changed after recording the screencast) Enjoy :-)"

"I’ll just lay here. Have a nap until sun sets. Back against a plywood bench. The deep forest smells of moist moss. Of bright green pine needles. Of ants and fungi.
Modulated dreams transcend the early summer warmth. The night is as close to never-ending as can be. A low frequency rumble intersects my dreams. Rattles my unconscious body. The morning bus passes. I sleep.

"Today I have a movie using Comb Filter and Noisy Oscillator from Modor.
I really like the effect of flanger and chorus, but I did not have them in modules so this module can really put in motion and sound it well. a little more impact on the strong effect I gave about 2 minutes.
Comb filter so jets named this filter but based on jets on short delays which just produces these two effects.
A little more accurately about this module
What is a Comb Filter? It is a digital filter. The signal is mixed with a slightly delayed version of the input signal. You will not be able to do it (40ms at max). "Comb Filter" comes from. "The Filter process" is a number of different combinations.
Comb filters are typically used to make chorus and flanger style effects. These effects are created by modulating the delay time. With longer and relatively fast modified delays you receive a chorus effect. With short, slow-motion, modular delays, combined with some feedback.
So, the most interesting parameter in this is the delay time. That determines the frequency of the teeth. So that's why there's a CV control for it. The typical chorus and flanger effects are made by the LFO. So there's a triangle LFO onboard the module, with speed control. If you do not enter any CV in the CV1 connector, it is standardized to this internal LFO to make typical effects. CV2 is standardized to the reverse signal of CV1, to make Modor's typical wide stereo effects, just as on the NF-1 synthesizer. But you can enter your CV in a few words: LFO's, Envelopes or some rhytmically undulating spacy voltage signals ... Check it out!"
