"Great sounding but obscure discontinued item similar to the Creamware desktop synths...it is a hardware device that runs off software editor which turns it into a great sounding hardware powered synth with MIDI in and analog audio outputs, which doesn't actually use your PC's processing power like a VST software synth....but it does use a software editor to access all the parameters and store presets...other than the ones on the front panel.
I got this many years ago and was supposed to set it up on a Win XP computer but it was around the time of switching to Windows 7 so I never got around to it. I do not have access to a XP computer now to check it out and it has been sitting unused for many years..."
"If you are looking at this, you know what synth this is. The pinnacle of FM synthesis interwoven with formant synthesis and Yamaha's hardcore FX engine. Endless digital synthesis possibilities. Unit is in great conditions and works well. New Intellijel-style knobs have been added. Comes with power cable."
"Osmose was made by musicians, for musicians. We’ve been on the road asking some of our favorite artists to try our prototypes.
Pianist, keyboardist and composer Bill Laurance’s music evokes a striking sense of time and place. As an original member of three-time Grammy Award-winning, globetrotting, genre-defying group Snarky Puppy, Laurance has toured the world countless times, playing hundreds of concerts to tens of thousands of fans worldwide."
"This is another episode of PURE ANALOG here with MFB DOMINION CLUB. The synths here being played without FX = PURE ANALOG which is a project to find out and show the qualities of analog synthesizers and eventually also hybrids. And exciting Question is also how contemporary synths like this lush GRP A-2 or EREBUS NYX compare to vintage legends like MINIMOOG or ARP ODYSSEY or ROLAND JUPITER 4 etc. So this piece will be played and performed with different synths in the future track by track recorded in DAW without any equing or otherwise processed in DAW, no add modulation, reverb, saturation or other FX. Only a mastering compressor, EQ and Limiter is used on the sum. So what you hear is completely un-FX-ed material -- almost impossible to find these days!!!"
"Exploring sounds from my Buchla & Space Echo. Using a smaller 10 module case to force myself to see what sounds I can get from a select group of modules."
"The OP-Z app adds another dimension to all OP-Z interactions.
use it as a visual aid, great for learning how to operate the unit, as a multi-touch controller for live mixing of your tracks, or focus on the details and get precise adjustments of all the synthesizer parameters. see all of the visual aspects behind the music you create, in real time.
the app also includes photomatic, which makes use of the built-in camera on the device, allowing you to sequence your photos, and motion, allowing you to animate and sequence 2d / 3d unity graphics, all in sync with your music.
This is a video I made of a musonics minimoog I restored for Freddy.
This minimoog was built 12/29/1971 and is the 240th unit built, it was a real treat bringing this one back from the grave and its a fine example of a Musonics era minimoog.

Thanks for watching, I greatly appreciate all the support!
"Today I have a small movie using 4 VOX Quad Polyphonic Wavetable VCO from Flame instruments and the newest Analog Morphing Multimode Filter Threek 13700 from Funkstill.
I specifically used to show both modules of the ambient patch because it shows the great sound of 4 VOX and you can clearly see the use of morphing with the Threek 13700 filter.
I added LFO for morphing, but also for mode and toggle changes, as you can see the diodes change, it means that the filter changes in different modes: 3 LP, 3 HP, BP, 2L-1H etc.
in 4 VOX I also set 3 different wavetables which, as you hear, change through LFO and morphing, I set two voices for a light move envelope, because the dial can be assigned to various parameters, like chords, envelope, pitch, detune, octaves, semitone and more.
The 4VOX is a quad wavetable oscillator with up to four voices per VCO channel, resulting in a maximum of 16 voices at four individual outputs. Due to a MIDI input the module can be played both with CVs or / and directly via MIDI - MIDI allows for modulating some additional parameters. There are 39 memory locations for wavetables and 32 patches for all global and VCO parameters.
The parameters of a wavetable can be controlled by CVs and by MIDI. For instance you can morph through a wavetable with a CV, a MIDI controller or manually with the potentiometer. The range of waves within a wavetable can be selected by minimum and maximum values individually per voice which allows for creating more complex morphs. Further controllable parameters are Detune, Semitone, Octave, Chord, Portamento, Amplitude and Amp Move (90 degrees phase shifted volume modulation of a VCO's 4 voices). Min and max values can be selected for those parameters as well. Via MIDI it's possible to control further parameters (notes, chords, pitch bend, patch selection and wavetable selection)

The Filter Threek 13700 is an analogue, 3 Pole Morphing Filter with 6 steplessly variable and voltage controllable modes. It provides self-oscillation, wave shaping (between the modes) and a lot of modulation possibilities: VC-Mode (continuously), VC-Resonance, Linear FM, two assignable CV inputs and more. It is a low distortion filter, which develops its rough character through the various modulation and feedback possibilities. Especially if you modulate the Mode at audio rates for example with a VCO or by feeding back the output signal to the Mode input (CV1, Out Mode) you can explore very unique und dynamic sounds. With the additional 1 Pole input and 2 Pole output there are 12 filter modes available.

"Found this Chicco toy (MR DJ) on flea market, it features stranges effects like reverb, pitch shifting, sampling and vocoder. Just playing with vocoder and some beats from akai MPC60. Respect to Adam 'MCA' Yauch RIP."
