Wait, an affordable vintage, analogue drum machine?

video by Alex Ball

"Want a vintage, Roland, programmable, analogue drum machine but can't afford it?

Maybe you can....

One such machine remains cheap to this day, mainly because it was a little accompaniment unit for guitarists to practice along with and not a piece of serious studio kit. That machine is the Boss DR (Doctor Rhythm) 110 from 1983 and whilst limited, it's surprisingly cool.

Free sample pack and Kontakt patch (thank you EvilDragon for scripting)

The Peculiar World of Teisco Synthesizers

video by Alex Ball

"I borrowed two rare vintage Teisco synthesizers from the early 80s, the 110F and SX-400.

As the former has several videos about it on YouTube, I decided to focus on the latter, which doesn't.

We also look at a curious link to ARP Instruments which has (understandably) caused much confusion.

Thanks to the owner of these two instruments.Thanks also to Florian "Bead Gear" Pilz for the cameo. :)"

Voice Panning mod on Prophet 600: demo

video by Valmont

"Really happy to have a true-stereo Prophet 600 now :p

It can go subtly stereo (Like a roomy presence) to some wide spread. A huge plus for mixing the modern way. https://www.musikding.de/Prophet-600-...​

The original mono output level was pretty low, but the new one with the stereo mod is much higher. I didn't even use a preamp!

The Prophet output is actually a stereo plug connector, with two contacts duplicated. So I didn't even have to drill another hole, I just reused the original output :) Tho to keep the mono mix out, my synth tech disconnected the filter-cv input, and made it a secondary out. A great tip to have a stereo Prophet for studio use, and a mono Prophet on the stage, without having to change all the trimmers!

Rare One Off Grendel Drone Commander

"Rare One Off Grendel Drone Commander synth clock input. See pics for physical condition. Clock input works with short audio sounds like drum machine rimshot output, or short pulses / clock signals. May require some fine tuning with level/pulse length if coming from modular, my BugBrand system gates are too hot for it, but short envelopes work well. Requires a 9 or 12v power supply - not provided."

"Classic and cool Ensoniq ESQ1 from 1986! This is really amazing condition. Closet kept for decades and it shows!

It has OS 3.54, a new battery installed by a pro and a sequencer Cart is internally installed.

It ALL works and sounds as it should, also look at pics, it is in great condition.

This thing can emit some classic, Moog, Juno, Sequential type tones but can also get well into the PPG territory. Analog filters inside are supreme. This THREE oscillator synth is bold and at home in any synth freaks rig.
