"PEARL FM-8 FIGHTMAN Electronic Drum controller/ synthesizer

Note this does not have any sequencing capabilities.

It is a drum synth aka drum brain.

"This is a fully working very rare Pearl FM-8 Fightman Analog Drum Synthesizer. I believe it was made before the Syncussion. A great piece of 80’s tech!

The closest machine that resembles it in my opinion is a Roland TR-606, except the Fightman has some very real sounding Toms.

The Hi Hat, Crash, are said to be very Metallic and the Ride is almost like a Synth Tone.

This Drum Synth is very hard to come by. This unit does not have Midi.

The only test I was able to perform was plugging it in and powering it up. The tempo light blinks and changes tempo when you adjust the tempo knob.

Unit measure 13-1/2” x 8” x 3” "

New Classic Looks: Korg Monologue - analogue synthesizer

video upload by Reactory

"New classic-style custom looks i made for my Korg Monologue analog synthesizer.
In line with the looks of some 70's/80's vintage synthesizers (Mini/Memory Moog and Sequential Prophet 5) my Monologue have new wooden side and interface looks, classic style, including white markers on the interface knobs.

All sounds of the music (kingdom melody 97) in this video is from the Korg Monologue. Chords/pad sounds are done by overdubbing on multiple tracks. No EQ's used, just reverb/chorus/Delay on some tracks."

Elektron Octatrack Test 1 with System 8, SH-101, and Oberheim Matrix 1000

video upload by MIDERA

"Mood setting - Well, this week I got back anonymous feedback from some students that was just really negative for a course I was teaching. Made me feel pretty terrible. I've always been like a top performer, so when two students didn't like me - it really ruined my week.

Anyway, I guess that sort of just set my mood for everything else. I wrote this track as an introduction to better understand the Octatrack, which I had bought a week or two ago. I think it fails in some ways as a drum machine. The Machinedrum allows you to edit all parts for cool glitchy sounds - I don't think the Octatrack does that in the same way (although it has 'scenes' which is cool).

As a MIDI sequencer, it's surprisingly very good. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get to the 'advanced' settings for changing the speed of each part's pattern length and tempo - but I'll find it again.

A simple test I guess, just needed to know how to do some things. I imported a bunch of drum sounds, hooked it up to my Matrix 1000, System 8, and SH-101 and went to town making this monotonous mess.

One extra gripe I have, and this relates to the Roland System 8. WTF was Roland thinking, not even giving it a MIDI THRU? Such a stupid thing."

"I've been slowing making a sampler instrument using a chromatically sampled acoustic guitar, activated with an ebow. After some major editing work, I loaded the notes into a sampler and did a bit of sweetening. I use MPE in the Bitwig sampler to tame the sounds and mix them in stereo. Sweetened with a bit of Newfangled Elevate."

Coagulate - Prophet Ambient Ethereal Jam

video upload by Postmodern Machine

"This feels like a long winter! 🌨❄️

Initially part of some experiments feeding the prophet 10 into the modular, this piece paired so well with some tree branches in the wind 🌳

The Prophet is fed into the modular, through Monsoon (Clouds), and through the Strymon Magneto. A little Meris Polymoon is also sprinkled on top. This performance has no mixing effects ITB, only a bit of mastering.
