Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev.2 SN 0630
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"I bought this Prophet 5 in Venice from a music producer 6 years ago. It's the rare Rev2 version. It has a stronger and warmer sound compared to the later versions, but more instable.
The Power supply is a little bit noisy and the synth needs to be turned on for 15 minutes and a few autotunes to stabilize. But all these things are normal for this version. The sound has its charm and character, the SSM gives the sound a distinctive power. Mine has just been recently serviced. An SSM 2020, a few SSM30, an I3292 (electronic switch), TL084 (operational) have been replaced with original components. Ideally necessary a recalibration of the ADC and DAC from a good tech to have a perfect instrument."

Tease - Korg OPSIX Patch Idea
sonicstate
"We don't usually do this, but we found a great way to create patches on the new Korg OPSIX FM synth, so we thought we'd share it. -Load up DX 7 patches (yeah you can, its easy) find an interesting patch, swap algorithms around till you find something you like, then adjust to taste."
And a jam:
Synth JAM - Korg OPSIX, Pittsburgh SV-1, Bluebox mixer and DrumBrute Impact
sonicstate
"The Korg OPSIX arrived (review coming), so we put it together with the @1010music Bluebox Mixer/recorder, the @Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers SV-1 and the @Arturia DrumBrute Impact and Keystep Pro to create a little vibe with a slight nod to a christmas chord."
Octatrack OS Upgrade: MIDI Trig Modes
Elektron
"The Octatrack now has additional MIDI Trig Modes, giving you extra ways to activate your sounds. Connect a MIDI keyboard or pads to the device to play sample slices and slots with ease, and record them straight into the sequencer. It’s Trig happy time!"
Monday mood, ambient 2
Meska
"Juste a quick ambient theme on the Octatrack and the fabulous and noisy Sprinter 61b"
You can find additional demos of the GEM Sprinter here.

New Univox K-1 Mini-Korg Badges
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
These are availabile via Analog U.S here
"As the title says, this is a new, reproduction Univox Mini-Korg badge. I needed some for a couple of Mini-Korgs I have that are being restored and have some leftover. This sale is just for the badge and not the actual synth. The back is self-adhesive, but you may need to add some wood glue depending on how the surface of your wood cabinet is. There is a protective layer of plastic on these you can peel off once the badge is set."

"A generative melodic project on the 5U modular synth.
A pair of synthesizers.com Q960 step sequencers in 3rd row control of timing provide staggered phrases. Each phrase is independent clock though closely timed. The drift is important to the interaction. One phrase is eight steps and the other is five steps. A pair of LFO's set some switch modules to introduce a new loop point at random times, further diversifying the patterns.
A random gate module from Yusynth (Yves Usson design) is employed to pick when auxiliary voices will sample from the step sequencers.
The first sound is a single Q106 triangle wave to the Synthetic Sound Labs digital delay, STG Soundlabs Sea Devils filter and Oakley Sound Systems SV filter in high pass. It then is run through the SSL Tube VCA/Timbral Gate. The random gates module sets when a pitch is sampled from the Q960's.
The second sound is the bass voice from the Dove Audio WTF vco into a Q150 Ladder Filter from Synthesizers.com. The same random gates module again selects when a voltage is picked from the Q960's.
The third pair of melodic lines are a pair of STG oscillators through the tube vca again. This pair are following the Q960's exactly.
A final voice is a Q106A vco with a PWM and triangle waves selected by the SSL Segwencer module before sending them to the Empress Reverb pedal. This time a pair of sequential switch outputs from the STG Switch determine which of the four outputs from the Q960's will send a voltage to a dotcom S&H then on to a Slew Generator.
Final effects were a Behringer 3rd Dimension BBD-320, a chorus delay from the TC Electronic s D-Two and a Lexicon MX200 in hall reverb state."
