video upload by Syntaur

"Some three years in the making - thanks to COVID - the Synth Wizards custom-build a special Korg Polysix for a high-profile client, and get it delivered to Los Angeles. It's an opportunity to take a look at the leaking-battery problems that plagued some older synthesizers, and explore how to repair that damage."

"Another classic string machine: the Crumar Performer. This one is version B with the very nice SSM2044 filter. It has Brass and Strings sections with attack and sustain on the strings, 3 bands EQ (think bandpass filtering), resonant filter, LFO assignable to pitch or filter, transpose switch etc Also has dedicated outputs for Brass and dry string sound along the main output. And a Gate in. Unit was serviced and is perfectly working. Condition is good, with some wears of course. It's quite compact and lightweight compared to others (77x35x19cm 12kilos)"

"It has been checked by a synth technician and what's missing are the KAS and SH cards. Couple of knobs, and legs. The unit powers on.

The incredible news are that 16musiclab from France have created PCBs and sell the cards for a small amount if you have a local technician or can install them yourself."

Playing Live With The Dream Collection At Willem Twee

video upload by HAINBACH

"After my first visit at Willem Twee Studios in Den Bosch I knew I had to come back. And I did, this time for a live gig at the Toonzaal. Rikkert had the idea I had secretly hoped for - to involve the studio in the live show. So I setup a patch, to which Hans Kulk and Rikkert Book added beautiful tape processing and effects. Additional concert footage by Joline LeRovan.

GEMINI 2412 User Guide Part 2: The Mix Bus (Dual Output, Audio, Frequency & CV control of filters)

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Part 2 of 3. The AJH Synth Gemini 2412 Dual Multi-mode SEM-based VCF explained. The 3-part User Guide will cover this very complex and fully-featured, yet simple to use analogue filter. This part will explain the central mixing bus section of the filter, and how it can be used to control the audio and CV balance, and cutoff frequency of both VCF's simultaneously, and how the dual filter (parallel) and cascaded filter (in series) modes work. Part 1 concentrated on the individual filters and their functions: [posted here] Part 3 will cover using the both filters together with the mixing bus, and how this element enables both VCF's to function together as a single, huge filter, either in series or parallel, along with patch examples, including using the Gemini as a stereo filter.

DX5 Playing The Human League "Empire State Human"

video upload by DX5

"One of the most interesting synth song from 1979 (early synth days, when bands started to experiment using those machines only).

Gear used:
Roland Promars MRS-2 (Jupiter 4 little brother)
Roland JP8000
Revox B77 MkII

Backtrack previously recorded on Pro Tools, then dumped to tape at 15 Inch Per Second, using the Promars for nearly all the sounds except kick drum and hi hat. Access Virus TI Snow also used.

Original song composed by Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh and Philip Oakey.

Performed here by DX5 Jose María Bará"
