"Power house Roland Integra-7.

Put simply this module contains pretty much all of Roland's back catalogue of synths & expansions within one box.
You have multiple output options but the best part of this unit is the ability to comprehensively edit via the Roland Integra-7 App on the ipad. You can hard wire to the ipad or use a USB wifi adaptor (included).
Roland also have midi controlled editing software available for the Integra-7."

"2 years ago when I plugged in the keyboard it made one sound that was constant and unalterable. Today there was no sound. The keyboard was unattached to the base but it only needs two screws. The keyboard was also unattached from the rest of the circuitry. I reattached it with no discernible results. The glass over the led light on the left upper corner of the keyboard is broken but the light works. There is no power cord for this keyboard but it is the same type of cord that's used for a computer monitor which is easy and cheap to obtain."

Polyphonic 1974 Minimoog

Published on Nov 25, 2019

I was thinking, that ain't no "mini" Moog, then I realized the Minimoogs are racked on the right.

"Demo of polyphonic Minimoog model D
Using a MIDI keyboard and a MOTM-650 MIDI to CV converter. The second revision oscillator board has separate CV pitch input modification to allow 3 note polyphonic playing.
Works quite well and retains the original Minimoog voice while allowing the oscillator intervals to be selected via a keyboard."

Pittsburgh Modular Documentary Films Presents: the Voltage Research Laboratory - Season 5 Episode 1

Published on Nov 25, 2019 Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

Thought this one was interesting in that it showcases a more melodic track created with the Voltage Research Laboratory.

"Teaser track showcasing the Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Research Laboratory eurorack format synthesizer.
The soundtrack to this video was created using only the Voltage Research Laboratory, Logic drums, and effects. An extended version of the recording is available on Soundcloud through the link below."

The Delta Cep A is so much deeper than you thought

"exploring the Radikal Technologies Delta Cep A semi modular synth. I has become very apparent that this synth is deceptively deep. hiding modulations and routings, fx and even quantizers inside its seemingly normal skin. take a seat and use some proper monitors."

ELTA SOLAR 50 | Big Drone synth | Ambient machine (prototype demo)

Published on Nov 25, 2019 ELTA music

"This is performance oriented analog electronic music instrument! Big ambient machine, drone-accordion, organ and 50 oscillators synthesizer all in one!

Final version will include a new design and additional, yet not showed functions. Estimated price is about 800$.
Pre-orders at sales@eltamusic.com Mark 'SOLAR 50'"

ELTA SOLAR 50


"The instrument is designed for creating atmospheric sounds, background music, microtonal music, super polyphonic electro symphonies, as well as for making sophisticated complexes of extensionally dispensed tones that have random frequencies and tricky intervallic hookups. Inspired by early electronic musical developments of the last century, particularly Leo Theremin's instrument called 'Harmonium'.

Variations of sounds that you can create with «Solar» are really boundless.

Solar synthesizer consists of 10 voices. Each voice, in it’s turn, consists of 5 oscillators (2 low, 2 middle, 1 high) with a pitch controller and a mute button for each oscillator. Each voice is provided with an envelope (attack/release parameters) controlled by a tactile sensor.

Solar 50 has a piezo mic onboard, that let it turn into electro acoustic percussion noise instrument.
In addition, there is a GATE-ON button for every voice, making it sound constantly, and a voice volume controller.

There are two independent LFOs and a bunch of external CV inputs on board and so called PLS connector for connecting a CV source in order to control the pitch of each of 50 oscillators and to start the envelope of any voice. Patching is possible with standard pin wires that are used in Moog Werkstatt, Bastl Instruments and in many other devices. MUTE buttons let you use from 1 up to 5 oscillators per voice, tuning in for chords, thirds, fifths and other intervals or to get a clean single note.

Behringer Introduces the POLY D - 4 Voice Paraphonic Polyphonic Minimoog Keyboard Synthesizer

Published on Nov 24, 2019 BEHRINGER

Apparently Behringer is on Amazon now.

Update2: Playlist with three user videos (you can skip around on the top right or bottom left):



Sonic Lab: Behringer Poly D! - sonicstate
Behringer Poly D -solo sonidos / only sounds - FutureMusic.es
Behringer POLY D - MrFirechild
Behringer POLY D: Review, Tutorial and Patch Ideas // Auto-damp explained - loopop

Update: post updated with larger pics. Click them for the detail.

Note the POLY D is more like a Mono/Poly in how you stack/route the oscillators. There are 4 VCOs, so you can set them to trigger one at a time for 4 voice paraphonic polyphony. Paraphonic in that they share the same filter, envelopes, etc. You can't have a fully separate voice with independent filters, envelopes, etc like on a truly polyphonic synth. This is not a Memormoog or Moon One. That said, it is a step ahead of a standard Minimoog - 4 vs 3 VCOs with the ability to play paraphonically. If it's light enough, you might even be able to kick back on a couch with it. An original Minimoog on the lap would get heavy fast.

Side note: Apparently Behringer is on Amazon now.

Details from Behringer:

"Analog 4-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer with 37 Full-Size Keys, 4 VCOs, Classic Ladder Filter, LFO, BBD Stereo Chorus, Distortion, 32-Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator"

The 1970s spawned the first truly portable analog synthesizer, and while it was quickly adopted by lots of renowned musical artists including Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, Rick Wakeman, Jean-Michel Jarre, Isao Tomita and Keith Emerson to name a few, it was somewhat temperamental and very expensive. An ultra-affordable homage to that iconic synthesizer, with all the features of the original and then some, the Behringer POLY D lets you conjure up virtually any monophonic or polyphonic sound imaginable with incredible finesse and ease. The pure analog signal path is based on authentic VCO, VCF, VCA and ladder filter designs in conjunction with a dedicated and fully analog triangle/square wave LFO. Owning a POLY D is like having your own personal time machine, enabling you to freely embrace the past – or shape the future!
