"Dave Smith Instruments Mono Evolver Keyboard (MEK) Potentiometer Edition (PE)
This is a Potentiometer Edition (PE) conversion from DSI. The knobs are uniquely colored gold on the top. That's what was provided. Keyboard, overall, is a solid VERY GOOD condition. Two concerns that drop it from an EXCELLENT condition: the back cover plate is missing one, black screw, and the left, wooden end-cheek is slightly angled (warped wood?) so the gap is larger on the left vs. the right. This came like this from the factory.
Everything works perfectly, electrically and mechanically. Includes power supply."

GRP Synthesiser A4 - Part 1
video upload by Tim Shoebridge
"Finally! Here are my initial thoughts on the A4 monophonic analogue synthesiser from Grp Synthesizer, well at least the first installment!"
Korg Wavestate - Memory of a Dream
video upload by Waveformer
"Here's a live improvised Ambient / Berlin School jam with a custom performance on the Korg Wavestate synthesizer. The performance has four layers that are used as four individual parts/tracks - two independent melodic arpeggiators, one bass layer and one pad layer. During the jam, I play with the arpeggiators and do live sound design. The complete jam was recorded in one go with no post-processing except some light compression.
Wavestate performance mod knobs:
Knob 1: Layer A (arp melody 1) Octave
Knob 2: Layer B (bass) Octave
Knob 3: Layer C (pad) Octave
Knob 4: Layer D (arp melody 2) Octave
Knob 5: Layer A (arp melody 1) Amp Level
Knob 6: Layer B (bass) Amp Level
Knob 7: Layer C (pad) Amp Level
Knob 8: Layer D (arp melody 2) Amp Level
ModWheel controls the decimator effect for Layer A, and makes layer B and D softer.
Joystick X controls Reverb Effect Level.
Joystick Y controls Layer C (pad) Bandpass Filter Cutoff Frequency
The audio is recorded to SD card on a Zoom R-16 recorder and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on a Canon EOS M50 mk2 with the included EF-M 15-45mm lens. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 18 (free version)."
Dataline - SNIFFTAKT (Machinedrum only track)
video upload by MrDataline
"Machinedrum recorded multitrack into Ableton. Download Machinedrum Multitrack recordings at: https://dataline.bandcamp.com/album/s... or https://dataline.gumroad.com/l/fyovc
This track was made only on the Machinedrum, running the X.05 unofficial firmware. Stereo out and 4 individual tracks have been recorded separately into Ableton from the Machinedrum extra outputs: AmenBreak, Bass, Kick, KicknSnare. Only some minor compression and limiting was applied to the master channel on Ableton before rendering, to get the sound a bit boosted without changing the character and quality.
Enjoy!"

"Extremely rare Ace Tone CANARY S-3 transistor based vintage analog synthesizer produced in few exemplars around 1965.
It come in great conditions and Works! Sound particularly vintage, very hot character, exotic tones with tonic color. Vca is light opto controlled, the large knob ...like car gear ;-)
Funny are the two upper white push buttons (white and coloured noise) made for make manual rhythm, awesome. *This wonderful (ad-hoc) yellow travel case is included in this sale lot, in order to preserve well this beautiful jewel. Please check my others listed vintage stuff"
See this post for additional info on the Ace Tone Canary.

Digitalis from Aberrant DSP: Demo and Tutorial
video upload by CatSynth TV
"A detailed demo and tutorial of Digitalis a multi-effect digital degradation and glitch tool from Aberrant DSP. It includes a Data module for spectral manipulation, Corruption module for digital distortion (decimation, bitcrush, bit rot), and a Time module for beat-repeating effects. The plug-in also features a digital assistant modeled after Aberrant DSP's resident cat Jon.
For more information, please visit https://aberrantdsp.com/plugins/digit...
'Digitalis is a multi-effect digital degradation and glitch tool. Inspired by bad converters, unearthed CDs, weak internet connections, and catastrophic errors, Digitalis is your personal vehicle through an endless digital wasteland.'"
'A Space Odyssey' with the LUNAR MODULE - Performance with lo-fi sample processing in eurorack
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"This week's Patch of The Week was inspired by the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey', and uses the LUNAR MODULE by AJH Synth to process audio samples from the film, whilst various other Eurorack modules build the accompanying melodic drone to provide the musical backing.
The Lunar Module is an audio processor and noise generator, which also features distortion, a bit-reduction/bit-crushing effect, and a recreation of the 'Quindar' sounds (beeps) used in the actual NASA Apollo space program/missions of the 1960's to early 70's. In conjunction with the Lunar Module's other sound processing tools this can be used to simulate the lo-fi audio transmissions of the time and then applied to anything. All the features are also useful individually, from a customisable noise source, to adding distortion and bit-reduction to any incoming audio or Eurorack level signals, even melodic sounds. This performance originally appeared at the end of the Lunar Module User Guide video - check it out for all the details on what it can do and how to use it.
Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself: https://youtu.be/89bv0dI8yw4

Lunar Module User Guide - Vintage Space Mission Audio/Mic/Sample/Synth Effects for Eurorack
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"The Lunar Module is a fun Eurorack module for recreating the sound character of early space missions, or adding noise and bandwidth limitation to mics, line-level audio, samples, and synth modules. It's effects can be triggered manually, or from gate signals, and include noise with colour control (a bipolar low pass and high pass filter), hum effects with frequency control, variable distortion, and 'Quindar' - an authentic beep used at the beginning and end of transmissions from the Apollo space capsule back to the NASA Huston control centre.
As with all AJH Synth modules, the Lunar Module is designed to be played, and it's pots and jack sockets are made easily accessible so that live tweaking is not hindered, and controls are all substantial in size and spacing. Most are based on vintage synthesizer circuits and designs, bringing the sounds, behaviour and character of classic synths to Eurorack modular, but with the advantage of modern reliability, compatibility, flexibility, and understanding of the needs of modern musicians.

Kate Bush - Experiment IV (Code Mix) QasarBeach (Fairlight CMI)
video upload by QasarBeach
"Kate famously used the Fairlight CM. QasarBeach was captured with no edits, overdub or added effects to create the Code Mix.
https://adamstrange.itch.io/qasarbeach
'QasarBeach CMI IIz' is a Fairlight CMI simulator written from the ground up that does an amazing job of recreating the user interface and functionality of the original hardware, while adding many useful improvements that makes workflow faster and more intuitive."
