"An extremely rare and fattest soviet synthesizer. It has a 3-octave keyboard, a modulation wheel, control knobs and regulators. The process of synthesis is performed with the 2 OSCs, 1 sub oscillator, noise generator, filter with ADSR, LFO, and wide range of modulation functions. The synthesizer plays a stable keyboard pitch thanks to quartz stabilization of oscillators. Midi (in/thru) installed.
Fully operational. Professional maintenance service was performed - recapped, lubricated, fixed and tuned. Cosmetic condition is very good."

FARFISA syntorchestra 4 demo
video by Vykaar Tones
"Demo of the sounds available from the very rare Farfisa syntorchestra 4.
The output volume is quite low and the gain was turned up on my Mackie mixer, flat EQ and no FX. The output is mono but there is the option to have the mono synth out of one jack and the poly sounds out of another."
VAI 59 : Solina String Synthesizer / Elka Wilgamat 3
video by Vintage Audio Institute Italia
"Heavy on monophonic modulation this time: the monophonic filter is really chopping up the polyphonic section to pieces.
Check out our earlier posts on the Solina String Synthesizer if you're interested in hearing or knowing more.
The Elka Wilgamat 3 has been featured before, we have a special video dedicated to that one, but in short it's an auto-accompaniment machine with four sections: drums, bass, chords and an arpeggiator."
Polyend Tracker + iPad + Projection Mapping
video by Perplex On
"To start my journey with the #polyendtracker, here comes the obligatory #projectionmapping treatment, because fun 😉 The tracker is sequencing all instruments over usb midi on a connected iPad, which also delivers the power for the tracker. Apps sequenced are namely #chordjam + #decentsampler loaded with #skyfeltpiano for the piano arpeggio as well as the drum glitches using several instances of #fractalbits."

Aquifex - Lyra-8 and JD-Xi live demo
video by SynthAddict
"Just having a quick noodle on the Lyra-8 while the JD-Xi cranks away. It’s not always for ambient stuff, it can get quite gnarly."
Penumbra | Ambient pad demo Roland System 8 (Jupiter 8 plug-out)
video by MIDERA
"Here is a pad sound I made using the Roland System 8 Jupiter 8 plug out. There's a lot going on with the patch and maybe this is just not the best representation of the System 8. I don't know. I uploaded it anyway, I suppose. This track does NOT use any external FX, except for some slight EQ and limiting (which I just usually apply to everything). I go through and modify the cross-modulation, pitch envelope knob, internal FX, etc.
I gotta say - I really think the Jupiter 8 is probably one of the best plug-outs, although no one else seems to like it as much as I do. I'm not sure why. I prefer the arpeggiator too. I wish all the other ones had a 'random' mode. I prefer that to the step type that they mostly use. Anyway, I'm mostly happy with it, but I don't consider the System 8 as one of my favorites. I really dislike the fact that there's no stereo panning. I feel like that would have gone a long way for me, but instead I'm forced to just use the Pan delay. Why... why couldn't they add this feature, even just into the system 8 OS?
I guess it's a somewhat small gripe, considering there are other things that annoy me about the System 8. The first being that if your voice gets cut off by a subsequent note, you hear an audible click. This is the worst in the System 8 OS with FM. I don't like that. The green color looks pretty bad. I'm never very inspired to sit in from the of the System 8. If it looked like it does in my video - I'd love that I suppose, but it doesn't. It's a sharp green suitable for goblins."
Ultrafast Demo: 60 Opsix sounds in 12 minutes
video by JEXUS a.k.a. WC Olo Garb - synths!
"No talking demo of Korg Opsix. Sounds & video editing by Jexus - WC Olo Garb. I did not use any external FX. All the delays, reverbs, flangers, sound deformations & noises are part of the Opsix engine / mod matrix. No layering, just splits in some patches.
WERSI BASS SYNTHESIZER AP-6 | Analog Synthesizer 1977 | HD DEMO
video by AnalogAudio1
"(c) 2021 by AnalogAudio1
Lexicon MPX500 for reverb effects and Korg SDD-3000 delay were used.
The Wersi Bass Synthesizer (Model AP-6) is a weird analog monophonic synthesizer from Germany. Very uncommon controls, uncommon behaviour. You never know if it works as it should. Funny after all. You can combine waveforms with different footages. The filter is a bit of a joke (called Wah-Wah), but the synth has a nice and brave vintage tone. Beware, it's not exactly an acid monster :-)"
1975 Elka Rhapsody 610 quick demo
video by Valmont
"A simple string machine from the mid 70s, with the usual technologies of that time: a master top-octave oscillator, and frequency dividers making each key's pitch for the 61 sound generators boards.
The voices are then summed in a double chorus: one slow delay line, and one fast - both synchronized making regular phasing cycles.
Funny thing with these octave-dividers machines is that all the notes aren't perfectly "in tune". The first models had some key-pitch variations up to 10 cents from a traditionnal tempered keyboard! The rev.2 had a better pitch division, with pitch variation up to 2 cents, witch is pretty unnoticeable for common ears.
0:02 - Strings + Piano + Clavichord
0:14 - Violoncello + Strings
0:41 - Piano + Clavichord (with phaser)
1:08 - Violoncello + Strings (with phaser)"
