Here are some patch notes:
------------------------------------------------
- I've recorded Lekko and Janso from Felt Instruments into the Morphagene, Arbhar, Microcell, Mimeophon, and Magneto.
- The Morphagene is playing the recording back at half speed.
- Arbhar has pitch modulation on the playback so it plays it in jumps of octaves.
- Magneto is on Looper mode but also set to Shift mode so there's a change in pitch as well.
- Mimeophon is also looping the recording, but I mangled it a bit so there are hiccups in the sound every now and then.
- Microcell is set to Granular mode and I have the Noise Tools module modulating its position.
- I'm sending the flute first to LedRover from VoicAS for some extra warmth and crunch.
- The picture is of me with my father, and we used to drink Campari a lot together so that's this red liquid in the glasses."

"I'm always amazed at the endless potential patching arrays Don Buchla left us with! Just a few cables/bars and sliders transforms a sine wave into this!

Dual Sequencer Noodle

Published on Feb 16, 2020 DoveAudio

"Just got the external clock and start/stop working on MuSeq, so I had a play and came up with this.
The MuSeq is driving the bass sound, the arp is from the Q119 being clocked by the MuSeq.

CUSTOM GOLD-SILVER Kawai SX-240 Polyphonic SYNTHESIZER

"Tested and working good! I acquired this synth many years ago, it was in working condition but had issues that are now fixed + customized! When I got it, it had a bad voice, the end cheeks were chipped, cracked and ugly, and there was a small amount of rust at the very edges of the control panel. The ENTIRE voice board has been replaced with a BRAND NEW ONE! (NOS directly from Kawai US)! The end cheeks have been replaced with REAL WALNUT end cheeks! (So much nicer!) All they keys have been replaced with Gold and Silver 3D printed keys, buttons too! Even has a custom RED memory write button! The Silver vs Gold keys denote where the "split" is when you pay in split mode. This makes it easy to see the split while playing in split mode, even under live stage lighting conditions thus minimizing the mistake of playing a bad note by playing past the split point!"

Yamaha CS-30 Analogue Mono Synth Modular SN 3920

"The Yamaha CS-30 is one of the most flexible analogue monosynths ever made.

Featuring elaborate routing and modulation capabilities, alongside multiple envelopes and a built-in step sequencer, this is a sound designers dream.

My CS-30 has a built in mod to clock the internal sequencer from an external source.Simply plug into the external input at the back of the synth and turn up the trigger and signal dials on the front of the synth.

The CS-30 is almost modular in sound.I would go as far as saying its modular with switches.

This particular example is in very good condition for it's age, and is fully working."

YAMAHA AN1x Analog Physical Modeling Synthesizer

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Kind of interesting side note is the AN1X was branded as an Analog Physical Modeling Synthesizer. You can see it on the top right. However, it did not feature physical modeling as the KORG Z1, Prophecy, Technics WSA1, and Yamaha's own VL synths. Back when physical modeling and virtual analog synths were new they were often referred to either physical or analog modeling synths. Somehow Yamaha mixed the two in the AN1X.

As for the oscilator modelling on the AN1X it featured 2 oscillators per voice: square/ sawtooth/ pulse width/ ring modulation/ noise/ FM/ variable wave-shapes (Edge - sine/triangle)/ Saw2/ Inner1-3/ slave(sub) osc on osc1

You'll notice the lack of any modeling of real world instruments - brass, bowed strings, plucked strings, etc... It is a great sounding synth and offers a bit more in the oscillator section than many other virtual analog synths.
