Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge: Embrace the Silence
video upload by SynthAddict
"First modular jam in about a year, lots of setup but it was fun.
Broke-in my brand new Korg SQ-64 that was recently on sale."
"Transcending" 🚀 Buchla Modular Synth - Octatrack - Tape Loops & Voice - Ambient Sci-Fi Soundscapes
video upload by The Galaxy Electric
"Originally streamed live on Oct 16 2022 -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/galaxylectric
LIVE from SYNTHON: Next Levels Fest hosted by The Golden Shrimp Guild!
Using our new handmade tape loops with the Tascam Portastudio along with the usual suspects: Buchla Modular Synth and our Elektron Octatrack to craft a ride through space inspired by Sci-Fi Soundscapes, what we call 'Cosmic Tape Music' - sometimes relaxing, hypnotic, and other times more groove-based; It's all a collage of layers of sound that come together in just the right way to fuel our voyage....and, of course, it's DAWless!

Crazy Vintage Synth Tour At Vengeance Sound
video upload by Doctor Mix
"Today I travel all the way to Germany to discover Avenger 2, yet-to-be-released plugin synthesizer by Vengeance Sound. More about it 👉https://www.vengeance-sound.com/"
This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child who noted:
"If you remember Vengeance sound, they were makers of some very popular patch collections for synths such as the Access Virus, Waldorf Q, JP-8000, etc in the early 2000's [Virus C & Waldorf Q demos below]. They've since branched out into sample banks and their own VST's such as Avenger."

Futuresonus Parva 2010 Black

It's hard to believe it's already been 12 years. You can find some demos in previous posts here.
"Parva by Futuresonus is an 8-voice digitally-controlled analog multi-timbral MPE-compatible polyphonic synthesizer. combining the warmth and fullness of true analog synthesis with the power, convenience and connectivity provided by a digital brain, Parva represents a huge step forward for desktop synthesizers. inside Parva are eight voice cards, each its own complete analog synthesizer, loaded with a plethora of incredible features:
3 digitally-controlled analog oscillators with a +/-5 octave range, hard sync and choice of triangle, variable-width sawtooth, and PWM waveforms
4 ADSR envelopes with choice of exponential and linear modes and looping option
4 LFOs with key-synced and free-running options and a wide variety of waveshapes including sine, saw, triangle, square, random and even stepped shapes
dual VCFs with 12 and 24dB LPF and HPF modes, a 12 dB BPF mode, self-oscillation and filter FM
to be clear - each voice has all the features listed above, and because Parva is multitimbral it's possible to distribute its 8 voices as desired across multiple patches simultaneously. on top of that, Parva is one of the very few hardware synthesizers to offer full MPE support. hook up a Linnstrument, Continuum, Sensel Morph or Roli Seaboard to unlock the incredible potential of per-voice velocity, pitch bend, pressure and modulation - and put it all to work just as you'd like with the Parva's 40-point internal modulation routing matrix!
in addition to its robust analog synthesis engine, Parva's hardware is geared towards maximum power and flexibility with minimum effort. Parva's main outputs and headphone output make simple L/R stereo synthesis a breeze, but each voice also has its own stereo 1/4" TRS line level output, enabling independent recording and effects processing of any or all of Parva's eight voices! the USB type B port makes connection to a computer host easy while standard 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O ports enable connection with controllers old and new. Parva's USB type A host port - a first among analog synthesizers! - enables direct support for USB MIDI controller connection. no more running power this way and signals that way. just plug and play!"

"It was recently serviced in late 2020 and is in solid working condition. All keys, knobs, and buttons work as they should, but not as if the machine is brand new."

"The synth is in excellent condition, the CHD JP-4 KBD MIDI-Kit got installed last year by a professional in Leipzig, it also got a complete service at this stop.
A lush instrument, the sound is one of it’s own, way more characteristic as the Jupiter 8 in my opinion, warm vintage at it’s best. The CV-trigger options and the modulators are a lot of fun, together with the MIDI installed you can go for it.
Outside are some minor scratches, a little spot is painted over, also the wood on the side shows some little spots."
