Drum replacement in the 80s | Akai S700 audio trigger input

video upload by Espen Kraft

"Use the audio trigger input of the Akai S700 or X7000 to trigger samples live from any external source. A great way of playing live or as we did in the 80s when we had to replace drums from analog tape."

Featuring the Isla Instruments S2400.

EXPERT SLEEPERS | Lorelei - VCO Voltage Controlled Oscillator

video upload by DANIELE

"Lorelei is a versatile oscillator by Expert Sleepers with quadrature sine outputs, waveshaping and sync/cross-modulation options.

From the manual:

Cross-modulation/sync: in a common-or-garden ramp-based analogue VCO, oscillator sync works by resetting the ramp integrator based on the frequency of the syncing signal. Lorelei works quite diferently, though similar efects can be obtained. In Lorelei, the sync input essentially prevents the oscillator from oscillating when the input is above a certain voltage (around 3.3V), but this is not an on-of thing – the efect gradually applies as the voltage increases. The upshot of this is that smooth waveforms (e.g. sine or triangle) for the syncing input produce a diferent efect to, say, square or pulse waveforms. Also, when using a pulse wave as the sync input, the pulsewidth of the signal also afects the result quite drastically."

The Oberheim OBX Series: a quick overview

video upload by Matthew & Doris

"The Oberheim OBX series are known to be some of the most classic synthesizers of our time, having been used in Eurythmics ''Sweet Dreams'' and Van Halen's ''Jump''. This instantly recognizable staple is capable of much more though, as Oberheim has created a truly versatile and incredible sounding synthesizer series. Tom Oberheim is the founder of Oberheim Electronics and he was born July 7, 1936 (age 85 years) in Manhattan, KS. Now, in 2022, Oberheim has announced and released the new Oberheim OB-X8, an 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer combining components of all previously created synthesizers put into a new powerhouse of a synth."
