Arturia MiniFreak vs Roland TR-909 first play: techno workout examples
video upload by Honeysmack
"First play with the Arturia MiniFreak hybrid synth. I'm not much of a keyboard player and was immediately drawn to the sequencer on the MiniFreak. In this video I paired the synth with a TR-909 and went through a bunch of sounds, manipulating and jamming at the same time, nothing too serious, just getting a feel for it and how it sounds. There's quite a broad palette of sounds in this synth, with a stack of features I didn’t touch - this video barely scratches the surface. There is no additional sounds or effects, everything you hear is from the MiniFreak and TR-909.
00:00 Banger spec - From Detroit to Berlin to Melbourne.
01:20 Did you know flowers can grow better with techno music?
02:26 Future techno club banger, tell your children now and they will love you.
03:57 Noisey percussion is so 1990s although I was never a fan of "Friends" the TV Show.
04:45 What happens when you add a box of hammers and some old shoes to your washing machine?
05:38 The rave doesn't end when you go to bed, it just gets more wobbly when you're horizontal.
06:46 Corporate IDM for people who need really interesting electronic music at the office to annoy co-workers.
07:57 My best Drexciya impersonation, underwater is the new world.
09:45 The microwave is talking to you, this is not a trip.
10:31 Glam rock and techno finally merge now we can dance on the moon.
12:15 Sometimes the cheese you bite into is not all that pleasant.
13:05 Drunken military techno workout."

PIRIN For Dreadbox Nymphes
video upload by Igor Leus
"Buy Sounds! - https://www.natlifesounds.com/product...
PIRIN For Nymphes - is NatLife's first soundbank for a 6-voice analog synthesizer from Dreadbox.
The sounds were inspired by the majesty of the plateau of the same name. It's 49 rich, warm, and sharp sounds. Find here a full-color palette of patches, from deep Pads, rich Leads, sharp Plucks, ARP'egios Basslines, and incredible FXs from another dimension.
The sounds will perfectly fit any kind of music production. You can find it good for Cinema or Game soundtracks, same as for creating Melodic Techno or Trance music.
Just find the flight of your imagination with the sounds that were made inspired by the untouched nature of the high mountains!
Note:
Some presets used the built-in mono reverb. If you want to use your own external or software reverb, just disable the reverb with the command: 'Menu - 3' and all the reverb sliders down.
Installation instructions are included."
4ms MiniPEG Eurorack Module
video upload by NOISEBUG
https://www.noisebug.net/products/4ms-minipeg
"This entire patch is being driven and modulated by the 4ms MiniPEG module!
The Mini PEG is a clock-synced envelope generator and LFO whose envelope times are set by the time between clock pulses or 'pings'. The Mini PEG is the latest version of the classic 4ms Pingable Envelope Generator.
Features
Envelope length set by incoming clocks or 'pings'
Ping button (tap tempo) or external clock/triggers set the envelope time
Div/Mult knob and CV jack divide and multiply ping clock from /32 to x16
Shape knob with full CV control for waveshaping the output envelope, includes various combinations of exponential, linear, logarithmic and interpolated curves
Cycle button and gate jack for looping envelopes
Scale knob acts as attenuating inverter for main envelope output
Maximum 9.5V peak-to-peak
Offset knob for setting DC offset, ranging from -9.4V to +9.4V
End-of-Fall (EOF) output jack goes high when envelope finishes a fall portion and low when envelope begins a fall portion
Jack can also be configured as End-of-Rise, Half-Rise, or Tap Clock Out
ENV OUT jack outputs scaled/offset envelope
5V ENV jack output always produces a 0V to +5V envelope, independent from scale/offset
Trigger jack starts or re-starts an envelope
Can be configured as Quantized Trigger, Async Trigger, or Async Gate

"This one is new and has never been used. I bought some of these about 10 years ago from the guy who designed them and this is one of two left. These are rare and seldom come up. It comes in the original box and original paper back manual. There is "Turtle Beach" tape on the box (Octave Plateau later became Turtle Beach). As you may know, this unit has two LFOs and 4four VCAs. It works great with modular synthesizers. Please mail with any questions. Shipping to most countries."

"This is a rare opportunity to buy printed materials that came in with one of the many rare and vintage synths or other pieces of electronic musical gear we normally buy, repair / restore and sell.
A few of the pages are torn in spots where they meet the spiral binding, there are some stains on the front cover that went through the first couple pages, an address written on the first page which could be Buchla’s address (not sure), and a parts list written in pencil on the back of the last page. It’s clearly a used manual with some wear and tear but is still perfectly readable and in good enough shape.
This item is used and is likely to show normal signs of use, which would mean wear and tear, perhaps some folded pages, and sometimes even some writing. Please see photos for condition."

"This was THE textbook for analog synthesis from back in the day (1972). It’s great if you want to better understand your analog modular and Eurorack synths. This one’s the second printing.
Overall, this book looks pretty good. There’s normal wear and tear, plus someone wrote their name at least 3 times in this book - twice on the front cover and again on the first page, you know, just in case a synth book thief tore off the front cover and didn’t notice it on the first page which would then essentially become the front cover. Comes with a folded, unused ARP 2600 front panel facsimile (blank patch sheet).
This listing is for used printed materials that came in with one of the many rare and vintage synths or other pieces of electronic musical gear we normally buy, repair / restore and sell."

"This book was written by David Friend, Alan R Pearlman (ARP himself!) and Thomas D. Piggott and was meant to be an introduction to sound synthesis. It uses ARP Odyssey sound charts as examples but can be applied to most analog synthesizers, or even softsynths equivalents.
Front cover is in great shape but from the back and throughout the book, the pages are a little warped, most likely from moisture. No musty odor, and the pages arent stuck together or anything, so its perfectly readable. Someone cut the upper right corner of the first page (which only has the title of the book on it).

"This unit was meticulously refurbished over approximately 10 hours and is clean inside and out and working perfectly. It will hopefully outlast others you may find. This work is justifiably reflected in our higher than usual price. You get what you pay for. We've also fallen in love with it and don't really want to sell it, but if someone else values it as much as we do, then we will. Note: several of the knobs have been replaced with reproductions that don't look exactly the same as the originals, though, as you can see, they look just fine."
