There's a synthesiser in your browser. Here's how to use it.
Floyd Steinberg
"Table of contents and links below! You may or may not already know this, but modern browsers contain powerful tools for manipulating audio. In this video, I'm giving you a brief (and imcomplete!) overview what's possible regarding sound synthesis, take a look at what other people created and try to build a small hardware synth using the Raspberry PI.
Table of contents:
00:00 Introduction
00:38 demonstration of my own small JavaScript synth
02:51 webaudio API (application programmers' interface) overview
05:44 some examples from the web...
05:59 semi-modular virtual analog synth
06:54 acid machine (fun 303 / 808 emulator and sequencer)
07:55 juno 106 emulation
09:28 websynths (this one is worth trying, definitely!)
10:28 comparing Firefox to Edge/Chromium
12:44 is this any useful for musicians?
13:15 trying to build a RasPi hardware synth with this (epic fail)
14:17 bye-bye :-)

5 minutes of chill with Dreadbox Typhon!
Electronisounds Audio
"Just a quick play with the Dreadbox Typhon to show what a nice range of tones you can get from it. No extra FX, no extra processing - just direct sound from the Typhon.
I'm using the 'Riffer' app on an iPad to randomly sequence the Typhon.
Thanks for watching!"

ESK - Korg Lambda Sound with FX
Metunar
"Some sounds from the Korg Lambda ES-50 (analog String Ensemble Synthesizer) with Lexicon MX200 effect unit.
In the video you hear every sound first dry from the Korg Lambda and afterwards played through the Lexicon FX. Every section of the Korg (Percussive, Ensemble) has his own effect.
Direct recording without mastering.

Roland SH-7 Vintage Analog Synthesizer
Crumar Synergy SN 01049

via this auction
"crumar synthesizer - Digital Keyboards, Inc - 1980’s
Serial number: 01049
I got this from my neighbors estate sale, her husband played in the day. I think she said he bought it new.
I found a website for this exact model, given I cannot even lip sync I have no clue about instruments. I did count the number of keys and there are 74 of them.
I did plug it in and it makes a little noise, but I have no speakers to plug into it. Also, I understand there is a cartridge that plugs in to it, I have no idea if one is required for it to play.
I do have to sell as is, if you live in the greater Phoenix area, you are welcomed to come and look at it."

Custom Black Orange Waldorf Microwave XT Rack

I had to do a double take when I first saw this one. Clearly not a Shadow XT. Turns out it's an orange XT painted black. You can see the orange underneath in the bottom pic. Cool, thing though is the black is an overlay so you can pick orange vs. black. BTW, see my cure for the Waldorf Nextel sticky coating here. Curious if that's why this one has a cover...
via the listing:
"Waldorf XT in good shape with custom black cover.
Just back from Full Pro Service (Extensive testruns, all potmeters replaced and all new potmeter caps).
You will receive:
Waldorf Microwave XT 10 voices Board #3
Full set of new Potmeter caps
Custom black overlay.
Manual (Copy)
Power cord / adapter
Ocsidance invoice including 3 months Warranty
Service Report"

REON driftbox C Multifunction mixer
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Comes with original power supply and original box & instruction.
REON Leon / driftbox C
Multifunction mixer that can control CV equipment with 4ch audio / CV input and 2 bus output CV-VCA output
4ch audio / CV input, 2 bus output. Multifunction mixer that can control external CV equipment with CV-VCA output
The driftbox C has 4 channels of audio / CV input, and the audio signal can be adjusted and output to any level on 2 BUS.
The CV input can be switched to VCA to generate a voltage, so the CV input can be added to control CV-compatible devices such as an external synthesizer VCO / VCF. With four channels of CV input and addition, it will be possible to produce changes beyond imagination. Simultaneous output of each signal is also possible by inputting CV signal to 1 / 3ch and audio signal to 2 / 4ch.
