NAMM 22: Glen Darcy - Ahsun Sound Machines

video upload by sonicstate

"The entire Hydrasynth range utilizes an advanced wavetable synthesis engine, 3 Oscillators, dual Wave Mutators and 2 filters that can be configured in series or parallel, giving extensive tone generating capabilities. All the keyboard versions of Hydrasynth come with the Polytouch keybed, even the extremely portable Hydrasynth Explorer.

Glen from Ashun explained the difficulties of production during lockdown and a chip shortage, but having the entire Hydrasynth family gathered at NAMM surely makes it all worth it."

Orchestrion-a DIY analog String/Choir machine

video upload by Andreas Remshagen

"Complete Description and Circuits:

www.remshagen.eu

A Strings/Choir synthesizer based on 12 oscillators with the AS3340 chip. I have chosen this VCO to get a very stable tuning over the octaves.

Each oscillator can be tuned individually. 3 oscillators are grouped together. There are 4 groups and each group has its own CV-1V/Oct input.

With an appropriate controller, the device can be played polyphonically in 4 voices.

There is a CV input for all VCOs at the same time

There is an adjustable ensemble effect that is always split between the 3 VCOs in a group

The entire device contains individual modules.

Strings and Choir can be mixed with a 5K Lin - Poti.

A separate saw-output can be connected to an external Filter or Resonator. It can be connected back

to the VCA-input

Delay is an option i didn't built in at this time"

With great dismay I read of the death of Sequential founder Dave Smith this week. I've used Sequential synthesizers like the Pro-One, the Prophet 600, the Drumtraks for many years and one of my all time favorite synths the Prophet VS. I was very fortunate to meet and speak to Dave in person a few years ago. I have rarely seen such a nice and patient person in the synthesizer industry. It left a lasting impression on me. My thanks go to his tireless work for the music industry. We wouldn't be where we are today without the revolutionary MIDI standard. My condolences go to his family. Rest in Peace. Your work will always be associated with Sequential. Thank you for all.

The Sequential Prophet VS Synthesizer from the year 1986 is a fantastic hybrid synth with the typical 80s sound. Here can you find the full Prophet VS playlist with single sound demos and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy. The Prophet VS playlist:"

When Analog Synths were Unloved, Irrelevant and Worthless

video upload by Woody Piano Shack

"There was a time, not that long ago, when analog synths were unpopular, unloved, irrelevant and almost worthless. Let's discuss the arrival and dominance of digital synths in the 80s and 90s, and how they turned analog synths into obsoiete dinosaurs.

Of course, things are different now and analog is desirable and back in fashion, wo it's interesting to reflect on what has changed and why."

"Excellent condition, working as expected. It's a high quality, handmade ARP 2600 clone. Often described as the 2600 recreation when it comes to authentic sound. It's a fully-featured semi-modular synth lab, which works with MIDI, has a lot of CV patch points and comes equipped with speakers and a vintage-style spring reverb."
