"ARP 2601 V1 with a custom 'keytar' setup, keytar cable, and travel lid. If you want to do Edgar Winter solos, this is for you.

Everything is working perfectly on this synth and it is in tune. The sliders travel smoothly and there isn't any static or odd behavior associated with them. The reverb tank sounds great. It has the highly sought after 4012 filter module. The keytar modifications were professionally done and can be easily switched out if you want to employ MIDI & CV control instead. There is a custom XLR socket on the right side of this synth. The keyboard has strap buttons installed and connects to a 40 foot stage cable."

I used to think Edgar Winter carried the full ARP 2600. He only carried the keyboard on stage of course.

9000 Foot Piano Add-On for the Sequential Prophet XL

via Sequential

"Christian Henson of Spitfire Audio has released The 900 Foot Piano, the latest offering in his Pianobook project of notable pianos.

The 9000 Foot Piano spotlights an exceptional Yamaha baby grand piano that has been featured on countless soundtracks and records. The Add-On is available for free download at the Pianobook site and is offered in a variety of formats, including a Prophet X/XL compatible version.

Pianobook a collective sample project that aims to bring together a community of like-minded music makers to talk about their stories through the pianos they use, admire, and are inspired by. It is Henson’s belief that every piano has a story and that by sampling the instrument and telling its story, a whole new world of inspiring sounds, textures, and instruments can be created. As Henson puts it, “Pianobook is a place to share stories, create something extraordinary, and learn something new about each other and our ourselves.”

Check out the history of The 9000 Foot Piano in this video."

Synth Spotting with Jonzun Crew - Space Cowboy (Official Music Video)

Published on Jul 23, 2019 Tommy Boy

"Tommy Boy Music is a legendary Hip Hop & Electronic record label founded in New York City in 1981. The label is credited with launching the careers of notable legends Afrika Bambaataa, Coolio, Queen Latifah, House of Pain, De La Soul, and Naughty By Nature."

Heard about this one via Robert Ginsburg in the comments of this EML-500 post. Apparently there is a German performance for the song featuring an EML 500. I couldn't find it, but I did find the above which features a Minimoog and Oberheim FVS based on the size, and I believe a Rhodes piano.

Here's another track with the Minimoog panel down, an Arp Solina, and a couple of other synths.

Dreadbox Erebus V3 - 50 Custom Patches

Dreadbox Erebus 3 - "Floating Matter" - 50 Patches

"Several months ago we took the synth for a test and we fell in love with it immediately. So we decided to create the soundset to express our passion to Erebus.

The bank consists of 50 patches:
10 Bass
16 Leads
8 Pads
10 Plucks
6 Sequences

As the synth is fully analog, there’s no way to save timbres.
The only way to share the patches is a «classical» cookbook, a catalog with images of the patches.

Also, you get an audio file, demo for each patch, in order to listen to the way it should sound if the patch is recreated correctly.

Moreover each page of the catalog includes notes that help you to create the patch or give the ideas of how to tweak it after it’s done.

Each patch includes modulation via ModWheel.
This gives an opportunity to control expression of the timbre and morph the sound between different states.

The patches are of different level of complexity.

Some are quite simple, musical and suitable for many purposes.
Some are pretty tricky and will delight the experiments lovers.

The heart of the synth is its patchbay.
For creating different kind of timbres up to 6 patchcords were used.

Make sure you have at least 6 patchcords to recreate these patches."

Ghost In Translation SimpleSynth FM AM RING Teensy Based Eurorack Module

Published on Dec 16, 2019 Ghost In Translation

"I finally 'finished' my custom synth SimpleSynth.

SimpleSynth is a Teensy based synth with the main objective to keep it simple (code wise and hardware wise).

Timestamps at the bottom!

In this demo I was sending MIDI notes via USB to the synth and I recorded the audio raw coming also through USB.

Features
- FM, AM and Ring synthesis with 1 carier and 1 modulator
- Polyphonic synth, Arpeggiator and Drone modes
- Controllable modulator gain and frequency
- Controllable Attack, Decay, Release
- MIDI over USB
- MIDI through the Hobbytronics USB Host Board Controller
- Audio jack output
- Audio over USB

I used a Teensy 3.2 because Teensy 4.0 is not yet capable of all the USB possibilities and will be ready in a few months probably. So I will post an update when I test it with Teensy 4.0.

Pure Acid | Groovebox App of 2019? | haQ attaQ

Published on Dec 17, 2019 Jakob Haq

"Dmitrij Pavlov aka JimAudio has done it again! Pure Acid is an Amazing Groovebox for iPad and iPhone and it packs a very intuitive Sequencer that has been tailored for ease of use, instant inspiration and all-nighter jams. This is without a doubt one of the most fun Music Apps I’ve had the privilege of working with during 2019. In this video I’m diving very deep into the Bassline Sequencer, because apart from the awesome FX section, the Sequencer really is a gem in this one. Seems like 303 day swung around and came right back again.
