"The Chroma Polaris was the second synthesizer made by Fender/Rhodes after they took over ARP, following their classic Rhodes Chroma. It has a classic analog ARP-like sound, kind-of tinny but also fat. Sounds can be layered up to 6 voices. It has typical analog synth controls including a cool 'sweep' knob for sweeping through the LFO or analog filter cutoff parameters. It also has a simple real-time sequencer and 132 memory patches.
There's also a nice and colorful layout with sliders similar to Roland Juno synths, membrane push-buttons and a large velocity sensitive 61-note keyboard making the Chroma Polaris a very nice synth. Fully MIDI-equipped, the Polaris will transmit and receive all its edit controls through MIDI as well as the ability to play up to three patches at once."
"Everything feels new and the Europa gives it the extra functionality that is usually lacking in a vintage synth.
This Jupiter 6 is superior to most Jupiters because it has the coveted Europa mod. The europa mod is now discontinued so other jupiter-6's cannot be modded. more information about europa can be found here"
This bank of sounds was created to be used with the built in sequencer on the OB-6. While you can certainly play them normally via a keyboard, I recommend pressing Play on the OB-6 sequencer before you start browsing through the patches.
BY DEFAULT THE PATCHES WILL INSTALL IN USER BANK 0, PLEASE BACK UP ANY PATCHES YOU WANT TO SAVE BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE THEM WITH THIS BANK.
I’ve included the patches in sysex and MIDI file format, as well as a format that can be loaded via Soundtower Editor for the OB-6 available here:
This soundset is provided as donation-ware. It’s free to use, but if you like the sounds I’ve made for you please consider a small donation via the links in the READ ME file. $5 buys me a beer, $10 buys me a better beer, and $20 makes all my dreams come true.
Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the sounds I’ve created with this beautiful sounding synth.

"Roland Juno-DS Custom Mellotron Choirs"
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
***Watch in HD!!*** ***Turn it UP!!*** ***No Talking!!!***
Roland really did it with the new JUNO-DS OS 2.10
and the new Tone Editor allowing us to make Multisamples!
FLASH has been expanded to 64mb so you can make a ton
of ONE SHOT samples & place them (Vocals, hits, drums, fx, etc)
across the keyboard or do it like me, use high quality long
stereo samples from your favorite vintage & modern synthesizers!
Here are a few examples of the MULTISAMPLE feature in action.
I have loaded a two different multi examples of my own vocals
and really made the JUNO-DS SING! Then I blend the multi's with
Mellotron Choir Patches from the SRX Keyboard Expansion...
My personal Mellotron Choir dream come true! TRY THIS!!!
Improvisations featuring the Soma Labs Lyra-8 Organismic Synthesizer, with Eurorack modular, Yamaha Reface CS, and software. Production notes at blog.starthief.net.

Press release including the AI011 VCO followed by pics and additional details on the AI016 (AI011 posted here).
"Portland, OR, USA December 3, 2019 – AI Synthesis has released the AI011 Analog VCO and AI016 Tape Interface in both a built and guaranteed version, as well as in kit and PCB/Panel format. The AI011 Analog VCO is a robust and stable analog Eurorack VCO. Using the legendary curtis 3340 IC, the Oscillator provides buffered Triangle, Square, and Ramp waveforms, as well as a triangle to sine wave shaper to provide a sine wave output. The AI016 is a tape interface that allows user to use a humble three-head cassette recorder as a real analog tape echo.
Following the tradition of the other eurorack modules, the AI001 Multiple,AI002 Mixer, and AI003 Looping ADSR, the module has a full video how-to build guide. Unlike some DIY companies that focus solely on providing kits, AI Synthesis has an educational mission and our kits and documentation are aimed at those who have never held a soldering iron. PCBS are professionally manufactured, and all panels are aluminum and designed by Grayscale."
"The AI016 Eurorack Tape Echo Interface is a Limited Edition Module that uses a pre-amp and buffered feedback loops to allow a standard three head tape recorder as an analog tape echo. It also provides op-amp saturation on the input when pushed.
The tape recorder must have three heads (erase, record, and play) for it to work as a tape echo. This type of tape recorder will have a button or switch that allows the monitoring of the source audio, or what has just been recorded to the tape. The space between the record and play head creates the delay, and the Tape Interface feeds back into the unit to create repeats.
The AI016 provides the following tape controls:
Mix
Repeats
Input and Output Controls
Delay time is controlled by the tape deck. Not all tape decks allow speed control while recording, and modifications may be needed.
Kits include all parts needed to build and mount the AI011 Eurorack VCO:
Hi Quality Aluminum Panel
Mounting Screws
Potentiometers
Jacks and Nuts
Power cable
Please note that a three-head tape recorder is needed for tape echo. While I do support the AI016, I do not support 3rd party tape decks or for 3rd Party tape deck modifications."
The Patch:
VCO Square - 4ATTMIX - WASP Filter (modulated by decay envelope) - VCA (modulated by another decay envelope)
Then:
VCO Triangle - 2SIGNALAMP - 4ATTMIX ... etc.
Then:
... WASP Filter - WAVEFOLDER - VCA
The WASP filter does nice bass duties as long as the resonance isn't increased too much. Adding the WAVEFOLDER after the filter, lets you mangle that filter-smoothed waveform again for some distorted dirty bass sounds. Turning up the WAVEFOLDER's Drive knob is ofter already enough."
