Moog 912 Envelope Follower - Modified....
video upload by noddyspuncture
"After finally getting my R.A.Moog 912 Envelope Follower working and calibrated recently, it was pointed out to me that it only 'swept' downwards. Good point... in it's standard form the CV it outputs, according to the level on it's input, always peaks high and then drops low. So I thought it would be an interesting project to modify it and have it be able to sweep both down and up. After building an op-amp circuit and testing it I replaced the 'threshold' pot with one of those push/pull guitar pots which has a built in switch - when pulled out it switches to the new 'sweep up' mode. I also installed an 'off-set' pot so I can alter the sweep 'window' for the new mode, which seems quite useful too...! Triggering from a drum machine for this demo and the CV out is patched to both pitch & filter."

Minilogue modifications (maffez)
video upload by Maffez Synthmods
"More info: https://maffez.com/?page_id=2471
Aside form some very spectacular case modifications, I did not find much in terms of modding the Minilogue, so hey... here we go. In this quick and dirty vid I show some mods only, more on my Minilogue page linked above. What you see and hear is the delay modded for more feedback, an entirely new bandpass filter mode, and some bonkers modification of cross mod and ring mod, where VCO one of one voice can modulate VCO of another voice, so your XM or RM sounds different per note/chord you play!"

Casio RZ-1 Jackin' Acid Jam! Behringer TD-3-MO, Roland JX-8P ft. Stefan Braatz
video upload by Wine&Synths
"The other day, my Casio RZ-1 came back from service after quite a while. Nevertheless, X-tended in Berlin is the first choice for me when it comes to repair and service of vintage synths! The RZ-1 got a firmware upgrade to version 2.0 and an additional DMX sound set fitted. Now the drum computer runs like clockwork again! However, you should not try to synchronize it as a slave to the DAW. Mr. Casio wants to be the master in the house and is then super tight and funky!
Stefan Braatz, Acid producer from Berlin (Pokerflat, Nu Groove), is at the commands of the RZ-1 and the Behringer TD-3-Mo while I'm noodling on the Vecoven Roland JX-8P with the Retroaktiv MPG-8: Here is our Casio RZ-1 Jackin' Acid Jam!"

GRP Synthesizer - A2
GRP Synthesizer - A2 from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.
Let's listen to the GRP Synthesizer A2 - a very versatile analog monosynth with a high-quality sound and a huge number of modulation possibilities - and this is no exaggeration: The frequency of the two oscillators and the filter cutoff each can be influenced by one of 11 different modulation signals.
The two oscillators feature 5 waveforms each, the first VCO offers additional PWM at two waveforms, the second VCO a parameter called "Shape" which fades in nine copies of the selected waveform for super-saw and super-triangle sounds. You get a Ring Mod, Noise, Sample & Hold, two LFOs, arpeggiator and more.
The filter design has a lot of character and is capable of producing formant/vocal-like sounds and a liquid sounding resonance. The great sounding distortion parameter offers many more options for designing sounds.
With its MIDI and CV/Gate inputs this is a synthesizer that fits in all studio or live-environments. It has a good size for jamming and a quality feel - and last but not least, the A2 is proving very popular among our staff - so maybe that means something.
