via this auction, also on Reverb

"Amazing beast of a bass / lead synth.. this Moog Source not only attracts any eye but delivers the goods in the sound dept. The Sound is very much like an original Minimoog with just two OSCs. It slays any modern moog wannabe and even the modern moog synths.. It just sounds "right".

Best news is that it is fully functional WITH a brand new membrane panel for years and years of use ahead. It has a new battery installed, memory works great. The Increment Wheel is working perfectly as well.. In all, everything.. all jacks, keys, buttons work great. It tracks great.. pitch is steady and right."

Elektron Digitakt // Sampling a Buddhist Vietnamese Mantra

video upload by Dexba

"I haven't had that much fun making a beat in ages!
When I heard these little boxes playing in small shrines inside houses, I knew I had to buy one.
It took me a while to get a model featuring both a high number of chants to choose from and an output jack, but here we are, and I couldn't have been happier with the result.
The ABSURDLY lo-fi quality of the recordings adds a lot of character, and when I got it I was afraid the bad sound was only due to the onboard awful speaker; turned out the bad quality was from the recording itself, so... win?
First quick video here, but I will be using it a lot more in the future, and I'm trying to find creative ways for ambient music too :)
Hope you'll enjoy ✨"

Supersaw Showdown: System-8 vs Juno-X (No Talking)

video upload by MR TUNA Music

"SUPERSAWS! We got 'em! But which sounds the best?
Today's video is a comparison of the new Roland Juno-X and the 2016 Roland System-8 and their sweet supersaw synth sounds.

Starting from an initialized patch we'll go back and forth and discover the differences between these great synths. It's way bigger than you might think."

Behringer Mini AKS VCS3 SYNTHI Update

via Behringer

"Some time ago we showed you a draft of our AKS Mini, a scaled down version of the VCS3 but with the exact same oscillators, filters etc. and of course the magic sound.

We received such great feedback that we decided to simply build a prototype. And here it is:-) But we haven’t yet decided if we’ll build it and maybe we’ll keep it just keep it for ourselves - just kidding:-) Retail price is targeted at US$ 99.

Of course the final unit will have the USB-C connector:-) "

Chariots of Fire - A tribute to Vangelis by Synthfluencer

video upload by Synthfluencer

"For me Vangelis was more than an inspiration. I knew his music before I knew about him. His fantastic sounds belong to my earliest musical memories. Now he left this world and he will leave quite a gap that can't be filled - not in the world of music and not in our hearts. But we will keep his wonderful musicial legacy."
