Moog Source, classic analog synthesizer

"This listing is for a Moog Source classic analog synthesizer. The sound is very reminiscent of the Model D but the Source has some advantages like patch storage and standard ADSR envelopes. It shows some signs of use but is generally working quite well sounds fantastic. Includes a power cable."

"One of the nicest and rarest VAs ever made. All the modulation power of an Odyssey but with presets, extensive MIDI spec and 12 voices of polyphony. Plus a selectable Minimoog filter for extra wallop. All housed in a chunky metal and wooden case. This thing is solid! Extra features (note priority, env trigger etc.) accessible via MIDI CCs so no need for the editor, in my experience anyway. I found it paired extremely well with my Elektrons for sequencing, receiving program changes, CC assignments etc..."

"This is a fine condition Rev 3.3 thats been totally electronically restored. The unit features factory midi with midi thru (not common). It has 120 program slots with a brand new battery to retain them in memory.
As for upgrades, all ECO’s we know of have been done to this prophet so it performs as well as possible. We are lucky to have access to certain factory updates not found on the web, and those have been performed on this unit so it is as stable as possible.
The power supply has been left original however a toroidal transformer has been added in place of the original type for silent operation. The original transformer has mechanical buzz and can be a nuisance in well treated studios. Additionally, the audio noise floor is lowered by this new transformer, so it will also sound clearer than other prophets.
The transformer we use also helps the prophet run considerably cooler than others, so the unit will last longer between tuning cycles.
Regarding electronics, of course all tantalum capacitors have been replaced with high quality electrolytic. Other capacitors commonly overlooked by others have been replaced to clean up the signal path for a like new sound.
Brand new bushings are installed for a flawless action.
The Tauntek firmware has also been added. This gives better midi control over the unit, but also adds some features such as unison detune, which is awesome!
All in all, this is a fine example of a prophet 5 that will surely bring many years of joy to it’s next owner."

"E-MU Emulator III EIII Digital Sound Production System (Aftertouch is faulty)
The Emulator III (EIII) is a classic 80's professional sampler workstation / Digital Sound Production System. As it was very expensive, around US $15,000 when it was released it was not bought by many artists, however the EIII being EMU's biggest and most professional sampler at the time could be found in many big production studios. Only around 1200 were ever sold making this a pretty rare piece. The EIII has CD quality specs, 44.1kHz or 22kHz sampling, extensive sample editing features, a 16 track sequencer, CEM filter chips, arpeggiator, MIDI, SMPTE, SCSI, Stereo output plus 16 individual outs plus much more!"

MAM - MB33 Mk II - TB-303 Clone
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"Excellent sounding rackmount TB-303 "clone", somewhat under the radar, with added features (sub oscillator, distortion...), no onboard sequencer but with accent, and nearly all parameters MIDI controlable from an external sequencer or DAW.
This specific MkII model is the more desirable one as, unlike other versions, it has the more accurate sounding 18db filter.
Works perfect, amazing cosmetic condition for its age, as shown in the pictures, with just a couple very light scratches from rackmounting and the paint largely immaculate."

Six4Pix Arpie + CVTab Firmware V6 Standalone tutorial with Modded TB-303

"In this video, I am showing the features of the Arpie by six4pix with it's latest firmware Version 6. This is a significant update to the Arpie and turns it into a powerful Arpeggiator / Sequencer hybrid with a unique workflow and feature set.
The Arpie can be used standalone or with a MIDI keyboard. I love the standalone nature of the Arpie and chose to show it that way in this video.
I am also using the CVtab expansion to control my TB-303 with its Borg mod from Analogue Solutions.
The CVTab gives the Arpie a CV out, a gate out and a third out that can act as a trigger for accents, slides ... or as a clock out. The CVTab also provides storing of 16 patterns.
All the technics used in this video will also work using MIDI except for pattern saving and restoring. MIDI provides a number of features not available as CV and are not covered in this video.
I am covering most of the Arpie features but not all so do read the manual for more details
I did my best to make things clear but if you have any questions do ask in the comments and ill do my best to answer.
A few notes on using the Arpie:
The main function aria has a 4x3 button greed each button in the greed has 2 functions: Press and Long Press. the instructions in the video make this clear however I made a mistake 1:30 in and made a long press before correcting it to a normal short press. I think I got it correct in all other places, but the instructions should be all correct.
Once selecting a function you configure the function using the 16 LEDs/push buttons at the top of the Arpie.
Bonus Material:
1 Note Acid bass-line - This was recorded an earlier test version of the Firmware, but I thought it is interesting to see how the firmware evolved and I liked it and did not want to shoot it again.
(In this version where access to the [PATN] additional layers is on the [Mode button])
Can you work out how to play this using the latest version?
Eurorack synced Jam - While working on the tutorial I was to focused on what I was showing to get a good sync going to my Eurorack so I added a jam that shows better results. I also want to add that it is not difficult to get a sync going and you can create interesting grooves by choosing the start point.
Final thoughts, I love the organic nature of the Arpie and mixing the various technics to create surprising and unexpected results. I have many ideas for patches using the Arpie that I hope to share in the future.
If you have an Arpie would love to hear how you use it?"
KAWAI K5 Synthesizer 1987 - Sounds Presets Demo (NO TALKING, ONLY PLAYING) 80s Vintage synthesizer

"Here's some of my favourite presets. The sound is directly from the synth with a bit external reverb. Program this monster is very hard and difficult, but the results can be amazing.
Enjoy ! :)"
