"A demo of the 'synth' type sounds and pads from the Hypersynth Hcard-705 for DX1 & DX5. The best of DX FM.
More information at the Hypersynth website: http://www.hypersynth.com/Hcard_705.html
Single and dual patches played on the DX5 with some reverb added plus a little delay on a couple of patches."
Elex K2 1970’s Rare Italian Vintage String machine (Farfisa/Hohner) - SN 27157

This appears to be the first K2 on the site. You can find demos of another modle, the K4, in previous posts here.
"Very very rare Italian string machine made in the 70’s. Branded also as Farfisa or Hohner , this is the original one, made by Elex, a very obscure Italian brand from Recanati.
It works great, cosmetically has some signs of age.
Sounds similar to the Elka Rhapsody 610, but with a few differences - the 'Ensemble' button does not turn the chorus on/off (as you mighty expect) the chorus is permanently on - instead, this enables the lower part of the keyboard from the split point down to play all 4 octaves simultaneously (eg for the C2 key, C2, C3, C4 and C5 all play simultaneously) - it is fully polyphonic and sounds massive. It also has a 'Bass' (presumably guitar) preset which plays bass below the split point. Unlike the 610, each of the Piano/ Harpsichord/Cello/Strings can be enabled/cancelled for each half of the keyboard (although, like the 610, there are separate level controls for each half of the keyboard with the addition of a level control for the 'Bass'). The only omission compared to the 610 is the lack of decay controls for the Piano/Harpsichord. There are separate outs for the 'Piano', 'Piano-Harp' and 'Bass' as well as a mix output ('General')."

"It was serviced by Kent Sprong just over 2 years ago with a new ribbon controller ( which was quite expensive ) Its hardly been used in the last year . The tuning is super stable . Its an amazing sounding synth."

"The ion synthesizer contains multiple dents and scratches (see pictures for details). Occasionally at random, there are a few keys that stick and make a clicking sound. Most of the time, this is not a problem. This ion does have the output volume issue that these synthesizers are known for. For years, I have used the Aux Output with the Output Level knob to bypass this issue."

"All caps replaced years ago. Midi added. There was some feature put in by the original owner that I removed so there's a small row of plugged screw holes on the top left of the unit."

Elektron Analog Keys and Korg ESX-1 Electribe IDM tracks from 6/20/21 live-stream (recorded version)
video upload by MIDERA
"I made a set for a live-stream (which did not turn out too well due to technological glitches on my end) using the Analog Keys and Korg ESX. I went back and re-recorded the set, although abridged.
This features the AK and ESX and Eventide Blackhole VST for FX."
Waldorf Quantum & Iridium - Textures Sound Bank by SMV Producer - No Talk
video upload by SMV Producer
This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.
"This sound bank is available for purchase at:
Gumroad: https://gumroad.com/smvproducer
Evolving sounds for the Quantum and the Iridium with a lot of modulations going on. There are also some sequences that may be different in style from the main sounds of this bank. Some sounds make use also of samples. And all of the Quantum synth engine were used. The sounds are without any external processing or fx and were directly recorded through a Motu 828x."
