"The Wersi in the video is for sale. [listed on eBay here]

Here is a comparison between two very similar BBD triple choruses, AKA ensemble effect: The Dr. Böhm Phasing Rotor 79 (which I demoed extensively in a previous video with a Multivox MX-202, a Crumar Stringman and a Roland Jupiter 4) and the Wersivoice WV7. The Böhm has some more variations but the chorus sound (ie ensemble effect) is very similar. Circuit are almost 100% identical. I also own a Wersi Wersivoice FM76 which is the updated and standalone version of the Wersi WV7 and sound even closer to the Böhm.

I used a Welson Keyboard Orchestra to demo the two units. I made another video with the Wersivoice alone with a Sequential prophet 6 in order to show how easily you can turn any synthesizer into a string machine with these units."

"Vintage analog triple chorus effect unit, based on 3x Philips TDA1022 Bucket Brigade Device chipset and of classic ARP Eminent Solina design. Turns anything into a great sounding string machine.

It offers Vibrato (slow and fast) and Chorus (the ensemble effect) with 3 variations of depth (« weak » and « strong » switch and both together).

It is almost the same circuit as the Dr. Böhm Phasing Rotor I also built, with less variations. But the ensemble effect does sound identical."

"The initial Rev 1 and Rev 2s proved to be unstable for the studio or the road, which is why the Rev 3 was created. This Prophet-5 Rev 3.2 is that "classic" synthesizer that we all hear and love on those 80s hits."

"There are some notable scuffs around the wood grain of the synth. Some of the keys are slightly stained as well and its sort of hard to read the labels of the controls. Otherwise, each knob and key is perfectly intact and ready for use. The overall physical condition is very good."

"This synth is in excellent physical condition considering age. There are some small scratches and a few chips in the wood that are to be expected in a vintage synth. All knobs and sliders are intact and look to be in great shape. Overall physical condition is excellent."

"This listing is for a Vintage Moog Minimoog Model D Analog Synthesizer w/ Moog Case. We are selling this Minimoog for the original owner who bought it brand new in 1980-81. He said that he went into his favorite music store and they said that he needed to get it as it was going to be the last one they will get as Minimoog's were being discontinued. So this is one of the last production models of this classic synth!"

Berlin School 960 Sequencer - Step Inputs/Outputs

video upload by O.Z. Hall

"This demo shows how to use the step inputs and outputs to control which steps in the sequence are played. This is a classic Tangerine Dream technique to break the monotony of playing the same 8 steps repeatedly.
I'm using the Swiss Daisy DSP as a virtual analog voice with delay. The controls I'm adjusting are the wet/dry mix, the envelop to VCF amount and the VCF cutooff frequency.
The simplest example of using the step in/out would be to take the step out from step 5 and connect it to the step in on step 1. This would result in the first four steps being played. (i.e. a reset to change the sequence length from 8 to 4 steps).
In order to quickly repatch to select the step out and step in, I have used a dual 4:1 selector switch, the Frequency Central 'Where" module:
https://synthcube.com/cart/frequencyc...
(no, I'm not paid for this link).
The top switch selects the beginning step; the bottom the ending step.
If the ending step number is BEFORE the beginning step number, the sequence skips the "ending" note and jumps (forward) to the "beginning" note.
One other wrinkle, the "step out" stays high for the entire step duration. I have turned this 100% "gate" into a trigger by running it through an A/D envelope.
One other note, I'm using row three to adjust volumes at each step."
