"This Micromoog had been modified with lights and a clear face plate to show off the underlying circuit board. One of my all time favorite mono-synths. The ribbon, mod wheel, everything works. It needs a tune up though, would be a good idea to get the caps replaced. Cosmetically, it is in good condition. No major dents or dings to speak of. I have the original face plate but it has a crack in it. I'm happy to take offers or questions if you have either or both."
"In lovely condition, a few very minor scuffs as pointed out in the video.
Just finished servicing it.
All pots and sliders cleaned and re-lubricated (all sliders feel lovely and buttery)
New battery
Factory Patches Loaded
Thoroughly cleaned inside and out."
"Very little use, latest firmware, runs on Raspberry Pi 4B, faster and more memory than OG Norns. Ships with USB-C power adapter and 16gb SD card. The encoders are a little jumpy when turned quickly, and only on the PARAMS page, which I’ve learned is a common issue and can be rectified by editing the appropriate Lua file. Cheers!"
"Ring modulation, according to the interwebs, is basically AM modulation (amplitude modulation) that goes through the full cycle. In AM modulation, any frequency below zero simply stops the oscillator. With ring modulation, you're still modulating the amplitude, but when the signal goes below zero volts it inverts the oscillator signal rather than stopping it. This creates a variety of new harmonics.
But those aren't necessarily 'ringing' harmonics. The ring in the name comes from the fact that most ring modulators use a "ring" of 4 diodes one into the other to create the effect.
Here's a sampling of the modules I have at the moment, doing a basic comparison of how their timbres differ. And a few have extra features that I'll try to resist playing with for sake of a fair comparison, but will probably fail in the attempt.
Only had this a few minutes and already feel totally at home in it. Just made these three patches and wanted to get this out there so folks could get an idea of what it's about. This is the short version just to hear the patches though, the longer version will show how I built them. Might take me a day or three to get that edited though.
This thing's a winner. Three oscillators, each with dual waves with hundreds of choices, three LFOs, easy and flexible modulation and routing, sounds great. It's deep yet at the same time simple to operate. Recommended.
"The step function of the Hydrasynth's LFOs is a powerful tool. You can use it to create microtonal sequences even without switching to an alternative tuning for the whole synth."
"3 multitrack demos made with the KORG EX-8000 synthesizer
part1: 00:00 all sounds from the EX-8000
part2: 02:49 EX-8000 + Synthwave Drums VSTi
part3: 06:08 EX-8000 + Future Retro Transient
part3: all drums and FX sounds were made with the FR Transient, controlled via the Stillson Hammer MK2. I've used 3 cv + gate controlled tracks, multitrack recorded + additional FX (reverb, delay & compression).
As always a multitrack recording with some fx."
"Portland band The Graduating Class describe their sound as "Anderson .Paak and Daryl Hall going on a three week bender in Quincy Jones’ studio." Stylistically, the group blends modern production techniques with tonal and songwriting influences from the 1970s and 80s, and guitarist John Queant serves as the lead producer on every song.
This video spotlight features John Queant with the Prophet Rev2 and Prophet-5 synthesizers.
"This short improvisation came after playing with the patch 533 - Blades from J3POs P5 patches - [posted here]
which are fantastic by the way, thanks J3PO!. I then starting building something very similar on the P5 Rev 2 and hit record.
Prophets are going via SSL2+ into Ableton and have some Valhalla Supermassive Triangulum reverb.
