"Kind of strange to say that this is a rare bird nowadays.
Fully functional Yamaha DX-9. This essentially the 4-operator version of the DX7 DX5 DX1 Yamaha DX Family
Battery has been placed with a new cr2032 battery holder and patches loaded in.
The left end cheek has been damaged but it’s just a cosmetic defect. The left end cheek can easily be replaced with a donor part or maybe some custom wood-end cheeks (available from some eBay seller in Europe)."
"I love this thing. When I was in my 20s I suppose this was *the* polysynth. Yes, I know there were others, but this was the one I always wanted but I had no chance of being able to afford one. So when Memorymode came out I jumped on it immediately. Is it the same as the original? Not sure, but I think that's the wrong question. And the answer is that Memorymode feels like the original and can make the patches I've always wanted to make. And hey, it costs about $8,000 or $12,000 less than the original to boot, so I'm not complaining at all.
In a way I don't have all that much to say about this synth, other than that it's easy to program and sounds great. Three thick oscillators, nice filter, and some decent modulation capabilities (a little limited, but hey, that's how things were in the '80s). Plus, I can toss it in my backpack, which is something you could never do with the 70 pound original.
"Nem sempre é possível andar por aí com um controlador de 61 ou 88 teclas, cheio de knobs e faders no painel. Muitas vezes o espaço que temos no estúdio ou a necessidade de produzir em qualquer lugar pede algo compacto, fácil de transportar e simples de usar. É exatamente essa a ideia do Arturia Microlab! Neste review, eu apresento mais detalhes desse controlador de 25 teclas, extremamente compacto e plug & play."
"With the release of limited edition black QuantiZer module, Tiptop Audio is giving us an alternative firmware turning QuantiZer into an arpegiator AND notes recorder!!!"
"I was offered a loan of a Super 6 from UDO Audio, which I jumped at.
As its features and functions have been covered brilliantly on other YouTube channels, I thought instead that I'd pose a question: Can a modern synth inspire new ideas?
In the video I try to explore that using some of what the Super 6 has to offer."

"A whole new way to patch a modular, with endless mults and mixers, presets
saving, randomization and more. I take a deep dive and devise some strategies
for using this powerful tool."
"As Eurorack users may know, it can be challenging to change a patch radically during a performance, therefore diverse performances require large systems or they end up being extremely experimental. But what if you could repatch your system with the push of a single button? The Erica Synths Matrix Mixer is a 16 – input, 16 - output desktop patch matrix – it can route and mix signals with high precision, create buffered multiples and random patches. It can also interface external instruments with your Eurorack system, and – it’s not limited to Eurorack!
You can use the Matrix Mixer with semi-modular synthesizers, as well as through adapter cards with the EMS Synthi and Buchla Music Easel. Thanks to simple patch changes via panel buttons or MIDI program change messages, the Matrix Mixer will be particularly useful in performances that combine Eurorack and other performance instruments, such as drums, guitars, wind instruments, etc. Make your modular performance stand out and enjoy the Matrix Mixer!
F e a t u r e s:

"A little sonic conversation between the SOMA Pulsar-23 + IK Uno Synth Pro in the studio today. Nothing grand, nothing spectacular. It was hot, sticky and reached 34.5C degrees, which believe me was hot enough for me to remove my jacket and take my socks off. Don't worry though, I remained in black clothing still 😀 Just a little bit of studio fun to share with you."
