"The M5N is the second and slightly enhanced version of the M5.
After owning a MacBeth M5 I ordered these with a painting job according to my wishes. As a huge fan of most iconic ARP synthesizers these M5Ns should be similar in look to an ARP Blue Marvin/Meanie. It finally looked absolutely stunning with a kind of white/turqouise color combo."
"Chainsaw is a powerful digital oscillator designed to bring polyphony to your rack in a compact and playable interface. We were inspired by the super-saw; a mainstay of electronic music production, and a waveform rich with harmonics for filters and effects to chew on. Chainsaw features 3 voices of 7 waves, with individual pitch control per voice. All waves morph from super saw to super square for giant hollow basslines and more."
"ACL FCVS-4 - The ACL Fader CV Source Module comprises 4 individual faders where each can generate a CV either going between 0 and +5V or 0 and +10V unipolar or -5V and +5V or -10V and +10V bipolar, selectable using 2 jumpers on the backside of the module.
Furthermore there are mute-switches for each channel. When mute is activated or deactivated, short fade ramps will be generated as well as the fader itself is slightly slew-limited internally in order to generate a smooth CV.
This module is very useful to control VCA´s or VC mixers like our VC Amp mix module."
"Durante il #soundmit 2021, parte dei live che abbiamo potuto vedere e sentire, sono stati prodotti dal collettivo MACCHINE NOSTRE, ensemble di musicisti strettamente legati al MUSEO DEL SYNTH. Una serie di video girati in alcune delle location mozzafiato di #macerata come il Palazzo Buonaccorsi che vediamo in questo video.
In questa live dal titolo 'A Family Affair' ritroviamo Leonardo Gabrielli alla guida di un nuovissimo #viscount LEGEND 70's e di un Viscount #oberheim OB-12.
A family affair perchè Gabrielli è figlio d'arte: mentre Leo è una delle menti dietro al progetto LEGEND 70's, l'OB-12 fu progettato negli anni 2000 da suo padre!"

"Kawai SX-210 analog synthesizer review, sounds and demo. This Kawai SX210 synth review covers various features of the Kawai SX-210, a demo of Kawai SX210 sounds and patches, and concludes with my final thoughts including pros and cons of this vintage 1983 polysynth.
The Kawai SX-210 is an 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer manufactured in the early 80s, and competed with the Roland Juno 106 and Korg Polysix. It has 1 analog DCO with saw, square (adjustable pulse width), PWM and sub-oscillator waveshapes. The VCF and VCA are both analog (VCF uses SSM filters) and have adjustable ADSR envelopes, and there is a high-pass filter onboard as well.
The Kawai SX-210 has 1 LFO with adjustable delay and speed, and uses sawtooth, square and sine waveshapes, all of which can be reversed. The LFO can modulate the DCO, VCF and VCA all simultaneously, as well as be used for envelope triggering of VCF/VCA.
The Kawai SX210 also has a 4-voice mode using 2 DCO per voice, a monophonic unison lead mode, and chord memory mode that allows you to stack oscillators for big fat sounds. The built-in Ensemble effects can help to widen the stereo image and is great for pads and strings.
Additional features on the Kawai SX-210 include adjustable pitch bender w/ adjustable bender range, key hold, portamento and glissando, 32 patch memory locations, large LED display, and dial wheel for editing.
Overall the Kawai SX-210 is a somewhat obscure synth with its own distinct features and sound character. The layout is easy to understand and uses buttons to select functions and a dial wheel to adjust their parameters. There were only a few thousand Kawai SX210 manufactured so it is not as common as other synths, but its certainly an interesting vintage synth with some cool features for the time. Keep your eyes peeled for the Kawai SX-210 if it interests you!
"This composition consists of a main sequence (Make Noise Strega), recorded live for the collective project Declinazioni promoted by POST Factory, a pre-recorded loop on the Op-1 and four notes played by the Tombola sequencer that add an element of randomness.
The track, together with the images of the neighborhood in which I live, taken during the second lockdown in Italy, tell about the process that elaborates the idea to the point of capturing its primordial elements."

"Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, IOLabs Flux, Intellijel Quadrax, SSF Vortices, Qu-bit Data Bender
No eurorack gear: Strymon Nightsky reverb, EQ and reverb in the DAW
This is a modular winter landscape for wishing you Merry Cristmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
In the video notes I forgot to mention that one channel of Noise Plethora goes through Data Bender for some additional noises in the background."
