The Sound of Genesis - KORG Wavestation
video upload by RetroSound
"❤️ Support #RetroSound channel: retrosound.creator-spring.com
The Korg Wavestation is a favorite synthesizer from Tony Banks. Together with the Roland JD-800. You can hear a lot Wavestation sounds in the songs of the 'We Can`t Dance' album.
In the song "Hold On My Heart" can you hear a airy pad sound called "Whisper Voices". The sound is a WS factory sound.
The glassy sound called 'Spun Glass' is from the Roland JD-800.
The drums the Roland TR-808 and samples.
The bass and the sequenced sound is the Roland JD-800 too.
The Wavestation EX was one of my first synths ever. Later I sold the WS EX and bought the rack module Wavestation SR. Now since many years in my synth rack."

"Sound demonstration of one of the most charismatic analog Soviet synths.
No processing/effects, just natural Alisa - 1377 sounds."

Sequential Synth Tips #27 With INHALT: Prophet-5 And Prophet-10 PWM
video upload by Sequential
"As the founding member of INHALT and Infinite Power Studios, Matia Simovich’s productions and sound design have questioned the line between forward-thinking, avant pop and the depths of the underground. Never one to shy from the dark or the unorthodox, his production style is equally inclusive: hardware-centric and exudes the decadence and lushness of the past while integrating the precision and speed of today’s studio process.
This synth tips episode features Matia building a patch with PWM that changes rate as you play up and down the Prophet-10.

Prophet10 - Tutorial Sound Design - With comment
video upload by SMV Producer
"In this video, i show how to create a nice sound with the Prophet 10. The comment and the sound come from the camera microphone, so it does not match 100% the real sound of the Prophet. Have a look."

"We paid our tech for the several hours of skilled labor required to properly service this unit so it will hopefully outlast others on the market.
-All tact switches were replaced with new ones for perfect operation. These normally go bad over time, either not working, or requiring one to push hard.
-Floppy drive was replaced. These are often non-functional or unreliable at this point.
-Backlight replaced. These are often burned out, making it impossible to use this synth in a dark room.
-Key contacts cleaned. Dirty contacts will cause problems with velocity response and triggering.
-Battery replaced. All K5000s's are long overdue for a battery change.
-Patches reloaded.
This unit works perfectly, with one small exception... After servicing, we noticed the bottom key and top key or two's aftertouch wasn't activating. All other keys aftertouch activates just fine. Our tech estimates a minimum of 2-3 more hours of work to look into this. Since this is a relatively low value item and the value of repair time is high, and since the aftertouch works fine throughout the rest of the keyboard, we've decided to sell it the way it is. If this issue is a dealbreaker for you, please email us to discuss."

Meng Qi Sidrolz5 (Ciat Lonbarde Sidrax + 5-rolz)
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Sidrolz5 is a beautiful one off instrument built by Meng Qi, containing a Sidrax board and 1 set of 5-rolz per Sidrax oscillator. Can be played by touching the bare nana sockets or rhythms can be set up with patching banana cables (not included).
Requires 12vdc power with positive tip (not supplied) and has stereo 1/4" out.
A little more background-
Each sidrax oscillator has a triangle oscillator output, FM in, and two glitch inputs.
The FM inputs have a cap on input to work with the 5-rolz sandrodes below each oscillator to allow for for momentary pitch movements in time with the rolz rhythms (without the caps the rolz just send the oscillators straight to lowest pitch). Some of the FM ins have had the caps bypassed so they can be sequenced via an external, more traditional step sequencing method - e.g. I was using bugbrand CTL1s but korg SQ-1s and whatever else works with appropriate cabling with 0-10v CV range).
The two right most banana sockets are master pitch and master chaos CV inputs. The two large black knobs are master volume and master chaos. The right most knob is master pitch, all other knobs are individual oscillator pitches. Each of the bare potentiometer stems in the pictures have now been capped with knobs.
Each 5-rolz column is hardwired internally to the piezo in/vca of each oscillator- so touch playing is possible, but patching rolz together can yield both repeating and non repeating patterns. No touching and no patch cables means the instrument is silent."
