The Cars - "Drive" cover, but it's all #Motorsynth
video upload by Floyd Steinberg
"Here's a cover of the classic 80s synthpop hit, 'Drive' by 'The Cars'.
All sounds are from the #MotorSynth but the drums, those are from the Yamaha #QY70.
If you didn't know, Motor Synth is an electromechanical #synthesizer which creates sounds by spinning 8 discs super fast. You can either use all 8 voices paraphonic or two of them each polyphonic. There's a selection of analog filters & envelopes which I put to good use here.
Due to it's inertia, this synth always is playing glissando ;-)
Given the tech at hand, I didn't even try to match the sound to the original, but more tried to capture it's athmosphere. Sorry for the mediocre karaoke vocal track, but I think it's good enough.
This was super fun and if this gets some views maybe I'll do more (you can suggest songs if you like)
Let's see if this gets a copyright claim.

Two DB-01s and Charles Bukowski
video upload by Richard DeHove
"This began as a follow-on from my last video "The easiest way to jam on a DB-01". I use exactly the same technique here except applied to two DB-01s: Absolutely basic patterns as the foundation and live arp plaing. The top machine goes into the EQ, B3K and Boss DM-2w. It is tuned with a fast LFO and FM which you see being set at the start. The bottom machine plays percussion and goes into the Zen tape ping-pong. The arp pattern is 'number 4' on the DB-01. There is absolutely no other processing on the DB-01s than what you see - no eq, limiting or volume tweaks. I thought it best to stay pure WYSIWYG.
And since it was all a bit bleak already I thought some poetry by Charles Bukowski would make it even more depressing. The words are from his 1991 poem "Dinosauria, We". This version comes from the movie "Born Into This" and leaves out about a quarter of the lines and changes a few words. I took the movie audio down a few semitones and stretched it.

Mother 32 Tracking Correction with the V-SCALE from AJH SYNTH - Fix those out-of-tune External VCO's
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"Following on from last week's video showing some ways to expand the sonic capabilities of your Moog Mother-32, this video details the use of the V-SCALE Eurorack module to fix tracking issues with external VCO's and synths.
Previous video here: [posted here]
The Mother-32 is semi-modular in itself, but it also provides a gateway into Eurorack modular with minimal investment, for those who are unsure if it is for them. Even a single Eurorack module can make a big difference to your sound and capabilities. Since the Mother-32 only has 1 oscillator (and no sub-bass/sub-octave generator), the most obvious choice for many would be adding an external VCO. However, this can result in tuning issues between the synth itself and any external oscillators controlled by the synth's KB output (1V/Oct CV output). This is due to the output impedance, which can cause the 1V/Oct CV signal to become inaccurate, and mean that external VCO's can be out-of-tune within the space of a single octave. This problem gets worse as additional VCO's are loaded onto this pitch CV, affecting it's current.
The V-SCALE is a 5-way active buffer, in it's simplest form serving as an accurate buffered multiple, but more uniquely it is designed to address tracking issues encountered between modules or synths. It has a very high input impedance, and a very low output impedance - this alone can fix many tracking problems simply by connecting it between the misbehaving modules/synths. However, 4 of the 5 outputs are also adjustable - this is particularly useful for synths and modules that simply do not track correctly and need calibrating, something that can be difficult or near-impossible to change depending on the unit. This means it can also be used to to adjust the calibration of anything that needs strong 1V/Oct tracking, such as a self-oscillating filter/VCF when used as a melodic oscillator.

"Mint-condition Tom Oberheim Two-Voice Pro in black. Serial number #236. I am the only owner (it was shipped straight here by Jill herself), and it has been packed in its box most of the time. The sequencer has never even been programmed. Both SEMs, and all other functions work perfectly. Absolutely nothing sounds like this machine! Massive analogue warmth and power. Comes in original box, with original manual and all patch-cables. This is as close to a brand-new Two-Voice as you can get. Cosmetically and functionally perfect. Get on this!"
