Roland Jupiter X Press Release VHS - Restored from Archive?
Major OSC
"A Note from the MajorOSC: This is pure satire right down to the Zen Core. But for the record, I love my Jupiter X. This video is to show appreciation to all the Roland customers who've kept them in business, despite the strong opinions constantly voiced from the older customers of many years. Jupiter X would not have become a reality had it not been for those of you who purchased the V-Synth. Jupiter 80, Jupiter 60, Juno G, D E, etc. Thanks to Roland for finally making something that celebrates your past, while offering modern functionality. Also, this is quite possibly the most amazing keybed ever."

Unboxing a Korg Arp 2600 FS (Full Size)
Unboxing my Korg Arp 2600 FS (Full Size), Part One: Unboxing
Voices of Echo
"In this video I'll unbox my new Korg Arp 2600 FS (Full Size) with you in real time. It took a really long time to ship, around 5 months from when I purchased it, but it finally got here! I've split the video into two parts: In part one I get the Korg Arp 2600 FS out of the box and walk you through my initial thoughts. In part two, I've recorded a high quality demo so that you can hear how it sound."

A little jam with my Arp 2600, TT 606, Juno 106, and an MS-1
"Here's a quickly recorded jam with my Arp 2600, TT 606, Juno 106, and and MS-1. Everything runs through my patch bays that you see on my desk. I used an Eventide Eclipse for delays and a cheapo TC Electronic box for its Living Room reverb, which I love. Feel free to ask any questions!"

Init Patch: Zoia with Data Corrupter
Inflatable Robot
"In this video I use the Zoia as a tool to modify the sound of a Data Corrupter, adding a dry mix, filter, and reverb. I also go over how to use Midi CC learn to add physical knobs to control some of the various parameters of the Zoia."
Aquifex - Moog Tower of Doom simple 1st demo
SynthAddict
"Quick, simple 1st demo of the Moog Mother-32, DFAM, and Subharmonicon I call the Tower of Doom. Running Mother -32 and Subharmonicon through 2 diff. algorithms of the Source Ventris. This rack has a lot of potential. :-)"

The Calling
verstaerker
"a haunting soundscape created using mainly the ringmod of the EMS Synthi-A clone.
All sound sources as the subharmonicon, the model:cycles and my voice sent through the great sounding ringmod."

Published 2013 Juha Kujanpää
"Demonstration of Teisco S-100P, a rare monophonic analog preset-synth. It features built-in spring reverb (!), flanger and assignable aftertouch. Some outboard reverb and delay has been added to the video."
via this auction
"Here we have an excellent condition a 1979 Tesico S-100P Synthesiser, with original cover, music stand, power cable, manual and what I believe is the original audio cable, as it was sitting with the rest of the bundle - all parts in near mint condition!
The aftertouch feature is licensed by ARP, and adds excellent dynamic range to this little analogue beauty.
I got this synth from a church, which had it from new, where it had remained mostly covered since the 1980s. I am the second owner and cosmetically this synthesiser is in great condition for it's age. In terms of functionality, everything including the aftertouch is working, other than the reverb - I can't hear a difference anyway. Other than that the unit is in amazing condition!"

Oberheim Matrix 6 - Tauntek 2.15 upgraded OS SN 7623278
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"24 hour sale - Upgraded Matrix 6
Fully functional and relatively clean Matrix 6. It's fully upgraded with the Tauntek 2.15 OS upgrade, and also includes the stock 2.13 EPROM should you want to revert to stock (I don't know why you would as Tauntek provides only benefits, but some people like things stock). The keyboard is level and every key works smoothly, with velocity sensing. Every button on the keypad also works, although the '0' button requires a firm press. It sounds fat and gorgeous, like an Oberheim should.
The Matrix 6 was just given a a brand new battery and thorough testing of all functions by Synapse Audio here in Portland. Tim couldn't find one thing wrong with it and says the new battery should last for more than a decade. This is as close to a worry-free vintage 80s synth as you can get these days. There are some scratches on the bottom and a few bits of rust on the metal, as you can see in the pictures, but it's very clean for a model of this vintage.
The Tauntek OS upgrade means that you can control it via a dedicated hardware interface such as the Stereoping or indeed any programmable MIDI controller. Filter sweeps will now sound like a knob being swept on an analog synth rather than a stepped, intermittent mess as with the original OS.
In addition to installing the upgraded OS, I've switched the levers to perform like you'd expect, which means reversing their direction in the menu setting, and set the interface to fast mode so you can cycle through presets and programming options using the arrow buttons rather than having to type in each parameter ever time you want to switch. You can still type in the number if you want, but cycling through filter or envelope functions using the arrow buttons is much faster.
The factory presets have been restored after the new battery install, and I've just tweaked a few of the key presets to reduce the long release tails that cut into polyphony when changing chords (it is 6 notes, after all). Programming isn't difficult using fast mode, although it requires incrementing and decrementing buttons rather than twisting knobs."
