"L/Mono output intermittent and some wear and tear, but otherwise good used condition.

The Roland JD-800 is a '90s-era digital synth, featuring a multitude of tactile sliders and real-time parameter controls. Loaded with features, players get 100 built-in basic samples, multi-stage envelopes, Roland's effects suit, and the ability to layer four different synths for one patch. It also features low-, high-, and band-pass filters. At a max 24-tone polyphony, it's not quite limitless, but remains a solid choice for anyone looking for a capable digital synth with a little bit of analog flair."

Creamware Pro-12 - Hardware Prophet-5 Emulation SN 5T7B6XA04

via this auction

"Absolutely perfect condition Creamware Pro-12 synth. Everything works as it should and it sounds fantastic. I've A/B this against my own Prophet-5 (rev 3.2) and it's so close you can hardly tell the difference in my opinion. Each knob sends a receives CC so you can also use this to program VSTi Prophet software instruments. Great effects built-in. 12-voice poly, or 6-voice unison with detune, or stack all 12 voices for monster unison. "

Novation // Start Making - Industrial Techno

Published on Sep 6, 2019 NovationTV

"Next up in our Start Making series, we grabbed a load of sounds from a workshop (using a power drill, hammer and an angle grinder...) to use as samples and make an Industrial Techno track with only a Launchpad Pro and what comes in the box.

What do you get with Launchpad Pro?
The sounds in the video are sampled using an iPhone and input into Ableton Live Lite, alongside the Bass Station plug-in, V-Station plug-in and an XLN Addictive Keys Instrument (one from a choice of four!).

"Novation Peak factory sounds & presets synth demo. This synthesizer demo of the Novation Peak features some of my favorite presets including pads, arps, textures, sfx, ambient soundscapes and more.

The Novation Peak is a versatile digital/analog hybrid synth for the modern era. In this demo I showcase various Novation Peak factory presets and sounds that come with the synth, which i feel highlight the Peak's great sound design capabilities.

If you enjoy these factory sounds and presets, stay tuned for my custom Novation Peak patches / sound pack which will be released in the near future."

ALFA R AS3394E - mP Controllable Synthesizer Voice on a Chip

via ALFA R

"The AS3394E is a complete analog music synthesizer voice-on-a-chip intended for software control by a microprocessor system. Included inside the compact 24 pin package is fully temperature compensated, wide range, voltage controlled oscillator providing suboscillator, triangle, sawtooth, and pulse waveforms; a voltage controlled mixer for adjusting the balance between the internally generated VCO waveforms and any external signal; a dedicated four-pole low-pass voltage controlled filter with voltage controlled resonance; a modulation amount VCA for modulating the filter frequency by the triangle waveform output of the VCO; and a final VCA for allowing the output to be enveloped. Envelope control for both the VCF and final VCA may be provided by either a hardware envelope generator such as the AS3310 or through software.

Ranging between -4 and +4 volts, all eight control inputs are provided with internal very high input impedance, low bias current buffers. Thus interface to a microprocessor system may be accomplished simply with a single DAC, 4051-type CMOS multiplexer, and 8 hold capacitors.

Requiring a bare minimum of other external components, the AS3394E is ideal for polyphonic or polytimbric musical instruments featuring rich, analog sound.

FEATURES

- Complete synthesizer Voice on a Chip
- Sample & Hold buffers on-chip for easy interface to a uP
- Fully temperature compensated VCO
- Independently selectable VCO waveforms
- Suboscillator output
- Separate saw output
- Separate vco and filter sections allowing design flexibility
- Constant Loudness vs Resonance VCF
- Rich Sounding VCF Design
- Filter FM routing for more Timbres
- Low Noise, Low Feedthrough VCA
- Few External Components"
