"Loki sits comfortably atop a vintage Polymoog synthesizer. From aagtive on Instagram, who provides the following commentary:
'Been using the Polymoog keyboard more lately. I’m finding on its’ own it’s rather limited. But the rock organ bass with the filter on can be be quite strong and effective. Also, by building an audio effect rack even the piano preset can become something quite interesting like you heard on my previous post.
Each note has its own circuit board apparently. Perhaps that’s part of the charm. I also enjoy the wobbly sounds I get when it’s first powered on and hasn’t had time to warm up yet.'
"Produced in the USSR in 1980s was intended as children's toy (note the Dog picture) but quickly became a collector's item among electronic musicians and enthusiasts because of its massive analog warm sound.
Knobs: Volume / Lowpass Filter. Buttons: Power / Vibrato / OSC 32' / OSC 16' / OSC 8'. Number of octaves in a keyboard - 2 (24 Keys) Adjustable effects – Vibrato
Condition/repairs: Fully working (the capacitors have been changed) Standard 9v DC boss style connection has been installed (centre negative) Standard output (Jack 6.35) has been installed"
"The Sequential Prophet VS was the last synthesizer from Sequential Circuits in 1986, before this company became bankrupt and was sold.
Nevertheless the Prophet VS is a very sought after synth and it was used in the 80ies by France Gall, Rush, Whitesnake and Scorpions.
It is an 8 voice hybrid synth with 4 digital oscillators consisting of 98 waveform plus 31 user waveforms. You can merge the Oscillators with a vector stick called waveform mix. The Prophet VS has a curtis low pass analog filter chip, three envelopes, also with panning and a great modulation matrix with two LFO. There is also a chorus effect and a very capable arpeggiator. The Prophet VS came out as keyboard version and quite rare also as a rack version. The Prophet VS is definitely one of my favourite synths, maybe my favourite, so I also have got the rack version just in case my keyboard version brakes down sometime.
In this video I mix these two synths together via Midi. I programmed a lot of double layered sounds on both synths, so I only can play 4 tones at once. Because the synth has 4 Oscillators, you get 8 Osc at once. By merging two of them, you get in Double mode 16 Osc. If you play it in Unison mode, you get 64 Oscillators at once. That`s ultraaa fat!
I didn’t use any FX, only the internal chorus, but no additional processing, no limiter, no equalizer, compresser etc. Just pure, dry and raw. The VS is fat enough.
I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching, see you next time!"
Tailored using some of the new features of the 2.0 firmware update, the sound pack contains arpeggiators, sequences, pads, piano & pluck type sounds and deep ambient pads, bass sounds, swirls and beautiful FXs!
100 ambient patches for Novation PEAK / SUMMIT in 1 SysEx file but also as (100) separate files.

What started out as a tiny little seedling of a project, our secret pattern generator, has grown into its own and hatched as a full-grown Eurorack module! Stolperbeats, roughly translating to "beats tripping over themselves", is a drum trigger sequencer designed to create shuffled beats influenced by artists like FlyingLotus, HiatusKaiyote and JDilla. We've always been fascinated by taking our beats offgrid to give them more fluidity and life. This module allows you to easily dial in and seamlessly switch between all the shuffle, feeling and groove we would, in the past, painstakingly nudge together in a DAW.
Stolperbeats is heard here triggering Eurorack drum modules, including the fantastic Prok Drum available as a DIY kit from Thonk doing the obiwankenobi dragon call, Tiptopaudio’s One playing the @beatsbykabuki STRIKE audio card through @rocket_not FenixIV phaser and an unreleased Making Sound Machines prototype called PercussiveMaintenance, played through @serge_by_random_source 's wavemultiplier and with added oomph from @tomwhitwell's MusicThing Minidrive. The performance showcases switching from a nonuplet groove to a quintuplet shuffle in the blink of an eye.
Stolperbeats features CV and MIDI control over trigger patterns for Kick, Snare, open and closed Hihat and 2x Percussion, as well as control over the depth of shuffle applied. It outputs trigger signals for use with Eurorack drum modules, and MIDI suitable for drum machines and synthesizers.
The module is not in stores quite yet but you will be able to play it at @superbooth_berlin 2022. And you might have noticed a sneaky little peak of it in a @divkidvideo already : D"
An updated on the Wave from Behringer (don't miss the note on the logo design further below):
"We’re very excited to share with you that we’ve just completed our third and final prototype after 3 years of development, which will now go to our beta testers for final testing, before the synthesizer is released for mass production.
The Wave hybrid synthesizer was a particular complex research and development project, as the recreation of the unique sound properties such as aliasing, over-sampling, low-res converters etc. was very challenging. But after much hard work, we nailed it.
We’re also working together with the legendary Hermann Seib, one of the creators behind this beautiful synth.
This is an exceptionally beautiful and unique synth and once we receive the necessary semiconductors, we’ll get it straight into mass production and into your hands."
Followed by:
"Normally, I wouldn't be bothered by something unimportant like that, but something is annoying me with the design of the logo/synth-name section of the panel. Maybe it is the missing 'PPG' part or the version numbers, or even both. Of course, I do understand that most likely copyright issues are leaving no other choice than using whatever remains, but at least to me, it looks like 'basically Samson - but without his hair' if you get what I mean. I don't know, but perhaps it would be cooler and more of a bold statement (rather than the somewhat castrated "wave") to either use only the version number instead (making it the "Behringer 2.2") or just the capitalized letters "PPG" using the same font as for the "wave" (instead of the iconic original logo design). This would look more like 'maybe it's not the actual Samson, but all of it's might and power'"
