Spaces - a DIY-Synth live session!

video upload by Albert Nyström

"This is a live recording using only my homemade synths. all sounds you hear comes directly from my own synths, except some reverb and delay. The only equipment used that I didn´t build myself is the Digitakt that acts as a sequencer as well as an audio interface.

The modular system plays the arpeggios & all percussion.
The analog Monosynth plays all bass stuff.
The Guitar-synth plays all lead sounds.

Hope you enjoy!"

video upload by Borish Electronics

"This is a very rare Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Revision 2 for sale on Reverb right now. I walk through all of the features to demonstrate functionality and that the synth is in tune."

via this auction

"This synth is much rarer than the Rev 3 synths and has very rare and sought after SSM ICs as opposed to the far more common CEM ICs featured in the Rev 3 version. It works great and I uploaded a video to demonstrate it's functionality. There are no issues with this synth! Every button works, every key works, every LED lights, etc. There are no scratchy pots or out of tune voices. The wood is almost perfect. There are a few scratches on the face and a couple of nicks in the paint above the modulation section. All of the tantalum capacitors have been replaced. A substantial amount of CMOS ICs have been replaced. The EPROMS have been replaced with modern equivalents. All voices have been recently tuned."

Classic Chilled Beats with Polyend Play and Virus Darkstar

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"This week, I had the idea to get two things done at once:

Make a jam for the HWJ Facebook group, and at the same time, have a play around with a sample pack from my friend, Vortex over at Mobile Music Pro.

I'm judging a mix contest this week for this sample pack, so I thought I should get to know it better by making something with the samples myself!

The FREE sample pack: https://mobilemusicpro.com/pages/esse...

This week's HWJ (Hardware Jams) challenge theme was "TWO BOXES".

I picked the Polyend Play and Virus Darkstar as my two boxes and off I went to make a jam!

I got carried away though (Hahaha), and ended up programming out and arranging a full, finished track using the Play's sequencer and song mode. So, at the end of the day - this became a TRACK, not a JAM on any level, so I won't actually be submitting it to the weekly HWJ challenge this week.

**BONUS**: I learned how to send program changes over midi from the Play to the Virus to change presets during the track! SWEET!

Jam (track finished on) Date: 07/17/2022
Tempo: 124bpm
Key: Fminor Pentatonic (Yes, AGAIN! lol)

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"
