"incredibly rare Synkey. Bought for a project last year and now just want to make some room.

If you aren’t familiar, this was the last synth released by EML and while technically a monosynth has 13 oscillators that can be “stacked” in chromatic intervals to create chords. It could also “save” presets via punch cards and the reader on the left but I have never had or used the feature.

This also has a *very* rare CV/gate mod that can be used via the portamento jack on the back. It works via a standard TRS to TR/TS Y insert cable, where the tip goes to CV ring goes to gate. You can search YouTube for the Synkey and see it in action from a previous owner some time ago.

While I’ve never had it serviced, the Synkey itself is in pretty incredible shape physically—though like any 40 year old synth has the occasional scratchiness. I’ve never looked into who could even work on it, though I know there are technicians around that do work on other EML synths (like the EML-101)

I attached a video I took this morning that shows some of the functionality of the front panel and a lot of the modulation sounds."

Not the tuning knobs on the back.

"The RT311 swarm oscillator creates enormously fat soundscapes! In this video I am altering the parameters showcasing the sonic extravaganza of the Eurorack module."

McBennett Sequencer with Arduino UNO

Published on May 18, 2020 Pete McBennett

"Hi everyone! I wrote some code for a basic 4-step sequencer. The tone generator is the same PWM digital oscillator from my other Arduino projects, so it has a nice thick sound. I ran it through my LDR filter, it's pretty cool sounding.

Here is the link to the code: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jac...

Sequential Artist Spotlight: Mutant-Thoughts

Published on May 18, 2020 Sequential

"MUTANT-THOUGHTS fuse off-kilter cerebral rock with Latin influenced grooves and pop sensibilities. An Alternative Rock trio from Bristol - the band are a cunningly original amalgam of infectious beats, brooding atmospheres and restless rhythmic energy. After their time working with Grammy-award winning producer Sylvia Massy in 2018, the outfit now return with brand new music for 2020.

Keyboard player Han Luis Cera is featured in this spotlight with the Prophet X keyboard, accompanied by the Tempest being used as a second synth.

Hydrasynth Sensel Morph MPE Explorations

Published on May 18, 2020 SonalSystem

"Sensel Morph MPE tests with the Hydrasynth in MPE mode...variety of controls assigned in the Mod Matrix to pitch, cutoff, drive, and the amazing individual control of 'warps' of specific cross sections of the OSC wave form and if thats not enough freeze reverb manual control for added epicness :) ...truly a unique experience. Using a dual setup of the Sensel morphs with the Buchla overlay and a Keys overlay is mind-blowing with a capable MPE synth !"

Quick Stab test with Moog Subharmonicon feat Mfb Tanzbar Drum Machine

Published on May 18, 2020 Sound Provider

"Someone ask me about Stab with the Subharmonicon Synth so I did a very very quick test here for him and also for anyone else who might be interested..

No Midi here , The Tanzbar do the Kick/hh/Clap and send the Clock and start/reset via Gate to the Synthesizer. I also use the drum machine rimshot individual output to trig some of the chord. So the Stab are triggered by the synth and the Drum Machine.

Voila

Sound Design with Polyend Dreadbox Medusa (Ep.4) - Lush Pads

Published on May 18, 2020 Miltos Schimatariotis

"In this episode, we see an example of how we can create a rich-sounding pad sound with the Medusa and the things we can do to make it as lush and wide as possible. At the music demo section, I also demonstrate how I use two Medusas to play in realtime this pad sound in stereo.
Let me know if you found this video useful or if you have any questions.
Stay tuned for the next videos where we will take advantage of the FM feature of the Medusa to create drones and other interesting sounds.
Thanks for watching, and take care!

Akai MPC One (why it's great with midi and eurorack hardware!)

Published on May 18, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"The Akai MPC One (and also the new MPC Live II) is not just a great sampler, but also a powerful centerpiece of your hardware studio. The MPC velocity sensitive pads are great for programming in drum patterns with the built in samples or ones that you record or import. There are built in synths as well, and the MPC One can sequence tons of midi hardware as well as CV/Gate hardware like eurorack or semi-modular synths or even vintage pre-midi gear. There are 8 CV outputs which can be configured any way you like to match the gear you are using with it.

If you want to use an external synth more than once in a track you can also easily sample it into the MPC One. The sample gets saved into the project so your samples stay organized. The MPC One is a great sampler/sequencer alternative to all of the XOX style sequencers, you can add some more human feel to your patterns by programming them in with the pads, but you also have quantization or piano roll style editing options available.
