via this auction

This appears to be the first auction post to feature the Peavey Spectrum Synth. There is also a Peavey Spectrum Bass Synth, and Peavey Spectrum Filter. You can find a demo of the SPECTRUM SYNTH here.

"This Peavey works and sounds great but sometimes it freezes. After a quick reset it works great again. Im thinking it might be the 3v battery but Im not sure. Its full of a lot of terrific presets. This synth is deep and Stereoping makes a controller for editing."

"Rare vintage 1986 Boss Model DRP-II Dr. Pad electric drum with 6 preset (adjustable) percussion sounds. The presets are 1-BASS DRUM 1, 2-BASS DRUM 2, 3-E TOM, 4-STEEL DRUM, 5-GONG-2, AND 6-STAR CHIME. I have owned this drum since 1997. I hate to sell it, but I no longer play and it's time to sell off my gear for someone else to enjoy. Everything works as it should on this unit. A brand new 9V battery is included in this auction. Cosmetically, the drum has typical scratches and wear but still looks good for a 35 year old drum (see pictures). The rubber playing surface has a little wear but still looks great (see pictures)."

15-The Korg ARP 2600M- Duophony and more

video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of some functions not covered in the series, focused on some modest-looking jacks.

The theme music for this demonstration was created with a Korg ARP 2600M (with the exception of drums)."

Unboxing is so main stream… So what’s the next big thing?

JEC Running Up That Hill - Fairlight Drone EXPANDED

video upload by James Edward Cosby

Update:

"Here are the settings required to recreate the #FairlightCMI #Drone used on #KateBush #RunningUpThatHill in #StrangerThings

The original was produced using a hardware CMI but anyone with an iPhone or iPad, can get a good approximation using the Peter Vogel CMI App available on the Apple App Store...

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/peter-v...

The #CMI App does not have a low-pass filter so subsequently the resultant drone is brighter than the released version therefore a low-pass filter or eq will be required to adjust the tone to match the original. Oh and wear headphones!!!

The Fairlight samples and settings used are as follows... (Only one note is used per voice to match the original hardware and to increase the tuning and pan spread for a very wide stereo mix.)"

Tape Eurorack Modular Jam 📻

video upload by Andrea Marzilli

"That’s why I fell in love with my modular system: easiness and complexity. A constant research for this conflicting dualism. With sounds and notes.

In this jam, a simple triangle waves from @mutableinstruments Plaits meets the beautiful @noiseeng Desmodus Versio, who introduces Stages and Tides as modulations. @qubitelectronix Bloom is the guidance.
@arturia_official Tape Mello Fi gives this cassette mood to the entire family.
Hope you enjoy them. 📻

Headphones recommended. 🎧"
