"If you’re looking at this you likely know what this is. Two double knots with a neat little mixer section in the middle. I believe there were only a dozen or so made. I’ve also got a case for it from Analog cases that I’ll include. It’s not an official case but it fits good enough (I think the case is made for a keystep)."

Akai MINIAK

What Akai has done with the MINIAK is basically take the Alesis Micron, update the design a bit and then attach a microphone to it.
The MINIAK is a bit larger than the Micron, which means that Akai was able to fit in full-sized keys for the three-octave keyboard. Although the 37-key semi-weighted keyboard does not feature aftertouch, it is velocity sensitive. One of the nice features of this keyboard is that it not only has a transpose range of eight octaves, but the brightness of the transpose buttons also increase to indicate that shifts have been made. Akai has incorporated three wheels, situated just above the keyboard, in contrast to the sliders of the Micron. Two of these are modulation wheels while the third is for pitch bending. Of course, the trade off for having a larger size is that the MINIAK also weighs a bit more than the Micron, but it is still a relatively portable synth.
The MINIAK offers eight notes of polyphony, with three oscillators per voice. Each voice also has two multi-mode filters and there are twenty different ones to choice from. In addition, the MINIAK has two LFOs along with three envelopes. The one-board storage is certainly not lacking either as it allows users to store up to 1000 patches. Thanks to a generous selection of patches, sequences and rhythms available from the start, it is easy to get started with the MINIAK right out of the box. The inclusion of a comprehensive sequencer, drum machine/rhythm sequencer and arpeggiator are also welcome.
Overall, the MINIAK offers a ton of features for synth enthusiasts and managed to do so at a much lower cost than most of the competition. The inclusion of the three wheels on this synth also made a nice change from other modern synths that were covered in knobs instead. Akai also included a nice on-board gooseneck microphone with the MINIAK for vocoder fans to play around with. At the end of the day, the Akai MINIAK is a very fun synth."

AJH Synth Patch of The Week: Lo-Fi Claps - all-analogue crowd clap sound
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"Rather than copying the way many vintage drum machines tackled their 'clap' sounds, here is a simple, yet more organic take on it. Some of the most famous analogue claps were achieved by using a series of very fast envelopes to control the amplitude (VCA), simulating the effect of multiple hands clapping simultaneously, along with their imperfect timing (humans aren't the most accurate drum machines). However, using fast, random modulation instead of a repeating envelope creates a more natural effect, and a simple noise source can provide this, and with longer envelope decay times it can produce an effect more akin to a large crowd clapping. Pink noise is especially suited to this, as it's lower frequency (speed) will have more audible results. White noise is still used as the audio source for the sound itself, and a bandpass filter is used as it will allow a more appropriate range of frequencies to form the timbre of the sound than lowpass filtering. Resonance is also important in forming the shape of the sound. The VCF I've chosen for this example is the Sonic XV Diode Transistor Ladder Filter. Patch Notes and PDF link further down the page.

"Play around with a a smaller setup today:
Digitakt with samples from the drumtraks and tr808, sequencing the DX7ii, Roland SH09 and Oberheim SEM.... running through the trusty BOSS KM-60. Sweet and simple."
