ATV aFrame Electrorganic Drum live looper demo

video upload by SynthAddict

"ATV aFrame looper demo with an RC-505.
Being a live session it’s not as tight as a structured demo, but it was fun.

All FX and tones are live from the aFrame."

"This is a Mint Condition Oberheim OB-X 8-voice Polyphonic Synthesizer built in 1980. It was purchased from the original owner and fully restored earlier this year by Custom Vintage Keyboards in North Hollywood - They are LA’s premier shop for keyboard restoration and they frequently work with A-List celebrity music clients as they are renowned for industry leading craftsmanship.

Provenance:
This exact synth was used by Greg Hoeltzel of Bob Kuban and the In men. Kuban played drums for Ike Turner, and Chuck Berry and this was very likely used on tour with and played by Ike Turner !!

This is Oberheim’s first 8 voice synthesizer that was pioneering upon its release in 1979 as it predates the Roland Jupiter 8 and was released shortly after the Yamaha CS-80 (1977) . Many other legendary polyphonic synths like the Jupiter 8 were inspired by the groundbreaking engineering present in this instrument. They only made about 700 of these and only a fraction of them have 8 note polyphony (as most have 6 voice) There are very few of these still in existence and in this condition, this is ONE OF A KIND, currently this is the only one for sale anywhere in the known universe."

Some additional details from the comments:

On parts: "My best estimate is around $180 USD, ~70 of which was the Keystep that I used for the keyboard."

On design: "I built everything myself, but took inspiration from exsisting schematics. The filter is based on Mortiz Kleins vactrol VCF, the envelopes are based on Thomas Henrys 555 envelope and the VCOs are built around the AS3340 chip! The effects are the only part I didn't build myself, Search for 'dsp 100 reverb' on aliexpress!"

Homemade analog Synth-Guitar!


0:00 Bass sound
0:50 Saw Lead
2:18 Ambient Lead
3:07 "Guitar" Lead
4:04 Walkthrough

"Fully analog, fully homemade guitar-synth
Built from scratch, based on a few different schematics aswell as a few own designs for some of the functions.
The pitch is controlled by two soft-pots tuned a 4th apart, just like a guitar.

The body is mostly made of stained plywood and the knobs are made of dowels that i cut and sanded to size!

The synth is accompanied by a couple of beats I made on my digitakt!

Hope you enjoy!"
