Farfisa Clavioline, vintage monophonic tube synthesizer from 50s/60s

Vintage Echo Room on Reverb

"Forgive my way of playing...really i don't have any technique! The video was made quickly just to demonstrate the functionality of the Clavioline. Initially the sound is taken directly from its amplifier, then I used the auxiliary jack output with my amplifier and I tried some external effects.

After this video i fixed the switch number "3" (basically a filter), there was a contact that didn't touch very well."

Introducing the Behringer 2600-VCO

video upload by Behringer

"An analog VCO module and an authentic reproduction of the original ARP 2600 circuitry, carefully fitted into a 16HP Eurorack module.

The VCO features 4 simultaneous waveforms including: sine, triangle, saw and pulse. All of which offer a wide frequency control from 10Hz to 10kHz or 0.03Hz to 30Hz in LF mode.

The pulse width modulation can be simultaneously controlled manually and via an external CV input.

The module is also fitted with separate outputs for each waveform and 5 CV inputs for pitch control and pulse width modulation.

List Price: $99 (in stock and immediately shipping from our factory).

*2600-VCO unit used during filming has since been updated with new labelling."

Korg Wavestate - Melody Maker

video upload by Waveformer

"Here's an Ambient / Berlin School style jam that demonstrates the Korg Wavestate's capabilities as a "Melody Maker" - starting off with a simple 6 note melodic played by the arpeggiator, and then letting the Pitch Sequence and Shape Sequence add the occasional fifth and octave shifts, ratchets and note-holds, with random probability per steps and different sequence lengths, transforming the notes of the original melody to a new more complex and never-repeating melodic pattern. I've added patch notes throughout the video, explaining how the melody changes as the wave sequences are introduced and parameters tweaked.

The jam uses the 'WF2 Klangspektrum' performance, available here: https://gum.co/WF-BACK2

Performance mod knobs:
Knob 1: Layer A (fast arp) Octave
Knob 2: Layer B (bass) Octave
Knob 3: Layer C (chord stabs) Octave
Knob 4: Layer D (slow arp) Octave
Knob 5: Layer A (fast arp) Amp Level
Knob 6: Layer B (bass) Amp Level
Knob 7: Layer C (chord stabs) Amp Level
Knob 8: Layer D (slow arb) Amp Level

The audio is recorded to SD card on a Zoom R16 and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on iPhoneX. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 17.

- Korg Wavestate
- Zoom R-16 for recording

Polyend Medusa/Tracker/Fifi chill beats

video upload by Isobutane

"Hey, some details about this beat. Im running a sequence of midi chords on the Tracker using the midi chord step fx. These are played back on Medusa. The synths output is connected to Tracker's line input and runs through the onboard limiter, eq, and reverb. The wonky beat is live-recorded from one-shot samples using micro-timing while live-recording. The bassline is a looped and filtered sample of a square wave from my MS1 synth. The cat's name is Fifi.

Thank you for watching."

Behringer's PPG Wave Almost Ready - If You Have an Original PPG Wave and are on YouTube You Can Test It

via Behringer

"WAVE is getting ready

We got some really good news. The firmware for the WAVE is getting close to completion and with it the delivery of this beautiful synth.

Our next step is to build 50 pre-production samples and start an extensive test program with internal and external beta testers to ensure the synth will have undergone the most stringent quality testing.
If you like to participate in the testing of the WAVE, come join the beta tester team. However, please note that there a critical requirements associated with this program.


1.) You must own an original “WAVE” in order to do extensive comparisons.

2.) You have deep technical understanding and knowledge related to professional testing procedures and sound analysis

3.) You own a video channel and you're willing to create several comparison videos.

If you meet these criteria, please contact us at joinus@musictribe.com and provide us with detailed information related to the above 3 points. We will select max 20 beta testers and reward them with a free unit in return for their extensive efforts.

We're super excited about this flagship synth. We know that it has taken much time, but we're very proud of our engineering team who have done an amazing job to bring back yet another piece of synthesizer history."

Update: don't miss the last 30 seconds for the ending. Thanks to Anonymous in the comments for all this out. 

"We visited 'La siesta del Fauno' studio where Ernesto Romeo played an early prototype of our desktop 7-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer.
We didn't expect to record any video but the moment was just magic. Ernesto explored a lot of the synth capabilities for over 3 hours.

No external effects were used."
