Acidlab Bombass Blue

"Analogue synth based on the 303.

The joke with users is that the name of this synth is pronounced Bom Bass by people who've never played one, and people who own one pronounce it Bomb Ass!

The bass this synth makes is FATTER than my Pro One or my Minimoog, and the only synth I've heard that I can compare to it would be the Roland SH-2. More than just a 303 clone, it goes way beyond that and is pretty versatile for a mono synth, with lots of modulation plus CV/Audio inputs.

Unit is in excellent condition, no cosmetic blemishes and all pots and switches are in working order."

Vintage Original Steiner Parker Synthacon

via this auction

"Steiner Parker Synthacon original, recently totally overhauled/serviced. I think this synth sounds more interesting than most vintage synths like the minimoog/2600/synthi, it has a real wild 70’s sound with raw oscillators and juicy filter, it’s unpredictable sounding in the best way possible. Local pickup in San Francisco, please contact me prior to purchasing to arrange payment and pickup."

You can find a few good demos of the original Steiner Parker Synthacon from Todd Barton in previous posts here, and additiona demos thoughout posts here.

Vintage ARP 2600 Tonus Logo Synthesizer w/matching 3604P Keyboard

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction, also on Reverb

"Original Vintage ARP 2600. This is an early Tonus logo 2600, which is prized for a better audio path than later ARP 2600s. Includes the matching 3604P keyboard controller, keyboard cable, power cord, and both lids. Both the synthesizer and keyboard controller have just been serviced by Synthchaser. Work done included:

Power supply recapped, new thermal pads on power supply transistors
Sliders cleaned
All tantalum capacitors replaced (except those in submodules)
Ring Modulator and Sample & Hold submodules replaced with new Synthchaser modules
Both connectors for the keyboard controller and 6 other internal connectors have been replaced for reliable operation
Nuts, washers, knobs and slider caps ultrasonically cleaned
Full calibration under oscilloscope
3604P Keyboard refurbished

New key bushings
Key contacts and bus bars cleaned
Keycaps ultrasonically cleaned
Bellcrank caps cleaned and relubricated
Tantalum capacitors in keyboard electronics recapped
The synthesizer is in good condition. There is a scratch on the panel below the pre-amplifier. The manual gate button contacts are dirty or worn and sometimes it does not trigger. Parts of the tolex case are shinier and it looks like something was on top of it that had been removed. This is most noticeable on the keyboard controller and the lid of the synthesizer, not really on parts you would notice when set up in your studio. See pictures for details."

1979 CMP - Powerful DSP Effects for Buchla Systems

Powerful DSP effects for Buchla systems.

The CMP is a powerful stereo effects processor which expands significantly on the original Clouds by Mutable Instruments. Dedicated controls for previously hidden functions, additional CV inputs, four memory banks for saving samples, and a digital CV attenuation schema make this one of the most unique audio processing modules in the Buchla ecosystem. Eight DSP modes are available which cover granular synthesis, pitch shifting, glitch-inspired audio looping, and spectral processing along with unique digital reverb and delay effects.

The CMP is a compact version of the Stereo Microsound Processor with the same basic functionality. An upgraded digital brain allows the CMP to support the "Superparasites" firmware which includes eight DSP algorithms. This firmware combines DSP code from the original Clouds by Mutable Instruments, Clouds Parasites by Matthias Puech, and two additional modes by Julius Kammerl. To change the DSP mode, press the TIME switch (upper left) for a few seconds and then press the switch to cycle through the list of algorithms below. The TIME LED will blink slowly to indicate the current algorithm, as shown below. The selection mode will automatically exit after a few seconds.

Mode 1 [●○○○]: Granular Processor
Mode 2 [○●○○]: Pitch Shifter / Time Stretcher
Mode 3 [○○●○]: Looping Delay
Mode 4 [○○○●]: Spectral Processor
Mode 5 [○●●●]: Spatial Reverb
Mode 6 [●○●●]: Resonator
Mode 7 [●●○●]: Beat Repeat / Loop Slicer
Mode 8 [●●●○]: Spectral Clouds

VProm V 2.0 - Linn LM-1 Based Soft Synth by AJLAB aka Aly James Lab

VProm Linn LM-1 VST drum machine overview & tutorial

video upload by Tech Raven

"VProm, by Aly James Lab, VST plugin of the famous Linn LM-1 drum machine. In my opinion, Vprom is the last word on Linn LM-1 plugins, nothing compares, not even close."

via AJLAB

A legend never dies!
The VProm was originally based on THE killer drum machine in town back in the early 80s, this expensive drum computer was also the first to include real drum samples back in the days!

Early sample based drum machines used samples of acoustic drum sounds recorded on the fly through some basic hardware. The way they were recorded without any kind of anti-aliasing makes them cut better in a mix than anything available at the time, they sounded so great that they became an alternative to the analog drum sounds of that era. To this day, the unique sound of this vintage machine is highly regarded because only using samples of the analog output is not enough to reproduce the wide range of sound and character of this beast. One DAC(converter)and clock per voice and yummy filters! Yes it is a historical piece of gear that take a huge place in the 80s sound picture. Only around 500 of these things are out there so don't count on finding a working one easily and forget for cheap. It has been used by major acts like Prince, Phil Collins, Thompson Twins, Stevie Wonder, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, John Carpenter, Todd Rundgren,The Art of Noise... The Machine was made by a musician for musicians and I tried to stick to that standard :) So as there were no accurate VST for that legend out there... I had to make the VProm!

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! IT MAKES THINGS HAPPEN, SUCH AS VProm ON WIN, MAC, x86 AND x64 Platforms!

VPROM accurately reproduces the internal circuitry and filtering of the first legendary Drum Machine but is also perfectly able to read and import original, custom or vintage EPROMs from other Drum Machines of that era, legendary 80s machines such as the Linndrum, DMX, DrumTraks etc.(.bin files that you can find on the net) An EPROM is an integrated circuit that was used to store short audio sample data in a compressed format. VPROM is the closest thing to the real deal - reading and decoding original EPROM data images in real time using the exact decode table from the AM6070 DAC at a variable sample rate. VPROM also allow experimenting with your own sample database. You can convert samples with external tools and load compatible ULaw companded images (see manual for more info).

I hope you enjoy making funky grooves with VPROM as much as I do!
