via the creator of Strokes, John Howes:

"I've been developing a VST3/AU MIDI sequencer for the last year called Strokes, previously it was a Max For Live device inspired by Jaki Leibzeit (Can) that was in development for over 2 years.

Strokes is a MIDI plugin that brings new life to your plugins, hardware and DAW

Grids - 4 x channels of euclidean or step (XOX/TR) rhythm generators
Logic - 4 x channels of algorithmic rhythm generators
Matrix - 8 x synchronized per step/stroke parameter sequencers (parameter locks!)
Weights - 4 x envelope followers
Shares - 4 x probability processors using markov chain pattern analysis
Notes - 7 x pitch presets for sequencing chords, melodies and kit changes
Patterns - 5 x device wide snapshots / presets"

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge: "Will You Rock?" redux (fixed stereo)

video upload by SynthAddict

"a.k.a. 'Hard Rock Job' redux (Chris Rock)

forgot to unlock this stereo remade version after a while since I was trying to avoid confusion with the original accidental mono post that had all the comments

I remade this last night (4/20/22 - 10 days after the original HWJ show posting) since my HW jam version last week had a stereo mix problem :-P

EML Electrocomp Model 500 - Futureproofed

via this auction

"Up for grabs is an EML 500 purchased during the Electric Lady attic sale about 13 or 15 years ago now. It was used on some albums. For being in storage for who knows how long it was in great shape and has performed fairly well this whole time. In preparation for sale we had it fully serviced earlier this year: Power Supply rebuilt, all new electrolytic capacitors, all new key bushings and springs, keybed calibrated, bus bar cleaned, all faders either disassembled and properly cleaned and rejuvenated or if they were not up to par they were replaced with period correct identical stackpole faders, and all trimmers tuned with precision calibration.

The cosmetic condition is very good. There are some obvious signs of use but it has been studio kept it’s entire life and well cared for. A modest 9/10. We are probably far under rating it by listing the condition as very good. Still, it is a 50 year old synth."
