"Roland MKS-70
• Excellent working condition
• Excellent cosmetics-- just one noticeable scratch on top from racking-- super clean-- bright screen
• Very little use

• The MKS-70 has three EPROMs that were updated over the years by Roland.

Calling all synth nerds:
• This unit has the OS 1.08 OS update EPROM A for the Assigner Board. That is the final version and it features all the bug fixes.
• It has the 1.03 OS update EPROM for boards B and C. Curiously, the OS # for those boards rose to 1.06, but 1.06 has the identical content of 1.03.

• Comes with the special Roland power cable"

Arturia JUN-6 V - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Arturia Jun-6 V finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A bank comprising 30 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to squeeze as much vintage analog juice out of this plug-in as possible, primarily working within the constraints of the original Roland Juno-6. I honestly wasn't expecting much from the Jun-6 V going into this project, but I was completely blown away by the sound quality of this plug-in, and it's now definitely among my favorites.

Sound Bank '79 is a series of vintage tones for different synths and plug-ins, so look out for future releases. Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.

Lite2Sound listening to the highway lights

video upload by EA78751

"There are hidden layers of reality for example the sounds of modulated light. We're on the highway listening with a Lite2Sound photodiode amplifier. A few decades ago you wouldn't be hearing so many types of interesting tones and frequencies. But now almost every light is modulated and it all blends together like a free ambient soundtrack. On the highway there is also the sound of air turbulence, you hear it whenever a light shines towards the sensor while passing through turbulent air in the wake of a vehicle. I'm disappointed though, this was supposed to be a stereo recording, but by accident the camera only recorded in mono. Location: San Antonio (2022). Rarewaves.net / Lite2sound.com"

Bad Gear - Akai Miniak - The Copy/Paste Synth

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Akai Miniak. Why is this 2010 virtual analog synth so suspiciously similar to the Alesis Micron and Alesis Ion and still so different. Is it just an Akai MPK 49 with some added synthesizer sounds?"

Cre8audio East Beast and West Pest Synth voices - Sonic LAB Review

video upload by sonicstate

"We're looking at a pair of desktop synths (also mountable in Eurorack) from Cre8Audio - as in previous releases, these are made in collaboration with Richard Nicol from Pittsburgh Modular - he knows how to make great sounding Oscillators, Filters and Wave folders, in fact the core technology of the East Beast (subtractive single VCO synth voice) comes from the VCO, VCF and VCA of the SV-1 Blackbox - which we think sounds pretty fine. The West Pest however has the VCO, Wavefolder and Dynamics from the highly prized Voltage Research Laboratory System - with a rich Wavefolder and resonant Low Pass Gate for a more West Coast sound."

Jolin ASHIKO / quad VCA / 4 channels of CV controlled panning and more

video upload by BRiES

"In this video I demonstrate the powerful nature of ASHIKO by Jolin. ASHIKO is a quad stereo or quad dual mono VCA with auto panning features (see-saw or ping-pong VCA). Especially the ability to easily create stereo movement from any mono signal is what I really like about this module."

ASHIKO is a quad ping-pong VCA designed to create multi-directional stereo sounds starting with mono sources.

Features

4 Stereo full range VCAs.

Transistors based CV inputs designed to give the best results with LFOs.

Individual toggle switches to activate mono or stereo mode.

Selectable hard/soft switching curve.

Input and CV are normalled and they flow top to bottom when no jack is inserted.

Works with audio and CV sources.

'Whatever' power connector a.k.a. don’t mind the polarity.

Sum+Inv (Sum and Invert)

video upload by After Later Audio

"This video covers using Sum+Inv to create quadrature signals out of Cascades' Sine and Cosine outputs..

About Sum+Inv:
Two identical channels with two inputs and two outputs. For the first output the two inputs are summed (at unity) and the second output the sum (at unity) is inverted.

The second channel is identical to the first channel but it normals channel one summed output to the first input. This enables a 3:1 configuration with both a summed and inverted output.

This is a great companion to the COCO system."
