Oberheim Two Voice Pro Special Edition unboxing and exploration with Julian "J3PO" Pollack

video upload by J3PO

"In this video, we unbox and explore the new 2021 special edition reissue of the famed Oberheim Two Voice Pro. You can count on two hands how many of these Two Voice Pro Special Editions have been manufactured by the master and legend, Tom Oberheim. I feel extremely lucky and grateful to have one of these gorgeous synthesizers.

Tom Oberheim's favorite synth from the original Oberheim era is the Two Voice (1975). Although the last TVS-Pro was manufactured in 2018, interest in this synth has continued. By popular demand, in May of 2021 Tom brought back the TVS-Pro as a Special Edition, with each unit now having the original 'Oberheim' logo badge, plus Tom Oberheim's personal signature. Despite there being no formal announcement, hundreds of musicians inquired on this website as to how they could purchase one. The demand was much higher than the small number of units that Tom was able to build. In just one day all the built units were spoken for, which unfortunately left many people disappointed. Tom is exploring if more parts can be secured and production started again, but it is not yet known if that will be possible.

"The original Syn...

Digital Keyboards Synergy, recently fixed-up and serviced by Dani at Hideaway, who is THE synergy fixerupper (he used to muck about at Bell Labs as a kid because his dad worked there. This synth was developed there by Hal Alles and crew in the 1970s)

I'm really going to enjoy getting to know this beast

I had to find a Kaypro computer and some other bits and bobs to get this system complete. Its been a long and difficult road, but got there in the end. Thank-you Dani!"

Minus the drums, 96% of the sounds in the music in this video is the Dreadbox Nyx v2.

Moog Matriarch: Here on Earth - an ambient demo

video upload by MIDERA

"My daughter turned 4 today. She's very much into Octonauts, so I have to be Captain Barnacles, Peso, or Shellington (and I think my impressions are pretty spot on). She got her wish - which was to have Shellington put her to bed tonight. There's nothing I enjoy more than being with her and reading books or pretending to be octonauts (which happens to take up probably 80% of our time together). When I ask her who her favorite person is, it's no longer Papa. It's 'Barnacles' or 'Shellington.'

I imagine, years in the future, she'll call me from college and I'll say, 'Kwazii, sound the octo-alert,' And she'll just say 'Daaaaad....'

Anyway, this track just sort of represents those lucid moments I have with her, with my family, just enjoying what really is the best part of being here on Earth.
