"Condition is excellent for a 40 years old synth, shows a few splinters in the wood here and there but overall great shape for its age. Good: All keys work. All buttons and knobs work well, some scratchyness in some but would be cleaned up from a good cleaning. The "write program" button doesnt seam to work but maybe Im missing something.. Not so good: tested it out on a tuner last night, the lower two octaves show about from 5-10 cents flat, one was closer to 15 on the tuner, seems to be on par with a synth this old from what I hear but being the bass notes its harder to hear the pitch being out.. I would assume some capacitors on the synth probably need to be changed now or in the future due to its age, which might “tighten” it up. The headphone out works great but the mix out seems to be finiky sometimes but messing with the plug seems to work, probably another deep cleaning needed issue, the direct outs from each of the voices work well from what I can tell. With that all being said, understand this is 40 year old board and there might very well be issues arising that Im not aware of or noticing at the moment or will happen in the future so this board is being sold as is. Purchased 2 years ago from Tokyo Japan, comes with Korg road case with casters, Im assuming thats original from 1980. 100V but works well on American 120V but keep that in mind, theres conflicting opinions about analog gear being 'ok' with that small of a difference, Ive had a couple other old synths and it wasnt a problem."
Curious if the tuning issues are related to the power discrepancy.
"I am guilty: I bought it AGAIN.
We all did, let's be honest. I think I don't know a single OP1 owner that didn't buy it-sell it-got it again after missing its "jenesaisquoi".
And I DID miss that, even though I got a Deluge in the meantime and even a Push 2 (crazy, I almost got into DAW music), but I was missing that little beauty.
One thing I always wanted to do was connecting it to my Strymon BigSky, mainly because I really hate the onboard spring reverb, I find it always too harsh and without much musicality.
And I did, and it is, in my modest opinion, excellent, especially with this meditative-kind of sounds, with mixed playing and Tombola sequencer.
As the title says, my idea was to go for one of these round pools with ceramic bowls that clanks into each others, with some cherry blossoms around.
Enjoy the peace 🌸"

"Frequency equalization (EQ) is something that the Eurorack industry has been lacking for a long time now. Sure, there are plenty of EQs out there with limited feature sets, but we felt the need for something more. We wanted presets so we could change settings mid-set and that turned to the question "what if they morphed smoothing from on to another?" which has brought us to what is now known as SCLPL.
The WMD SCLPL is a dual mono / stereo EQ and morphing filter for eurorack modular synthesizers in 4HP. 9 presets let you save different EQ settings and then morph between them with CV or manually with knobs.
In this video, we cover the basics. We use White Noise from the WMD/SSF Modbox and sweep frequencies. We then use Drum Break and Chord samples from the Rossum Assiml8or to learn how to set up EQs, save Presets, and more."
"The mix surgeon's best friend is now a powerful effect in your eurorack system.
SCLPL (pronounced SCALPEL) is a Stereo 5-Band Digital EQ / Morphing Filter module for eurorack modular synthesizers. Use it to cut out problem frequencies on voices in your mix or to add pleasing enhancements to your stereo field.
Dual Mono and Stereo Control Schemes make it an excellent addition to any WMD Performance Mixer Setup. Add 4 SCLPL for 8 channels of EQ in 16HP. Put a 5th on the Master Bus and you have the ultimate eurorack mixing setup!
A simple user interface makes it a powerful tool for many use cases. It features 9 user-programmable preset slots that can then be "morphed" between seamlessly with CV or the Level knob in Morph Mode.
Each frequency band is set independently with the Level, Q, and Frequency knobs, and a helpful LED display aids in knowing exactly what's going on at all times.
Frequency bands include a Low Shelf, 3 Mid-Range Peaking Bands, and a High Shelf."

"How to patch a modular synth from scratch. How to use CV and gate to control oscillators and envelopes to create some basic patches, and how to start getting more complex tones
Housed in the @Arturia Rackbrute using the amazing @Erica Synths Wavetable VCO and VCF to get some incredible tones form a simple system. Modulated by their Black EG and the ubiquitous@MAKEN0ISE maths followed by the @Eventide Audio DDL eurorack delay.
A simple setup using the @Moog Music Inc Mother 32 gives incredible results quickly. Stuff you can't recreate on a standard setup produced in minutes."
