"PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE LINK TO LIVE RECORDING: https://michaelwhalen.lnk.to/liveinco...
This is Michael Whalen's FIRST streaming concert - ever. He is celebrating the music from his new album "Imaginary Trains" using a keyboard rig made up of historically significant instruments and one-of-a-kind instruments.
Combining Michael’s love of 70s and 80s German electronic music (Tangerine Dream & Kraftwerk) with Michael’s masterful sound design and his arcing romantic melodies, “Imaginary Trains” is a new creative high water mark for the award-winning composer and internationally renown recording artist. Enjoy this dynamic performance and exciting new electronic music."

"Ich verkaufe eine Rarität. Diesen Kawai 100F, Bj. ca. 1978, gibt es eigentlich nicht. Es sind zwei Kawai 100F mit einer Klaviatur. Das Kabel hinten ist offenbar später nachgerüstet worden um den zweiten Synth zu steuern. Funktioniert einwandfrei, das Gehäuse hat ein paar Kratzer. Monophon oder Duophon! Serienr. K-3103. Für Sammler oder Museen. Oder jemand der Spass an alten Synthesizern hat. Sound irgendwo zwischen Moog Prodigy und Korg MS10."

"I am selling a rarity. This Kawai 100F, built around 1978, doesn't actually exist. There are two Kawai 100F with one keyboard. The cable at the back was apparently retrofitted later to control the second synth. Works perfectly, the case has a few scratches. Monophonic or duophonic! serial no. K-3103. For collectors or museums. Or someone who enjoys old synthesizers. Sound somewhere between Moog Prodigy and Korg MS10."

Learn the weird Sample & Hold trick from the Moog Mavis.
video upload by mylarmelodies
"Let's learn about the default sample and hold patching in the Moog Mavis synth, as it's different to the default S&H patch in most other synths. This approach, and the subsequent cyclic phasing it creates makes for stepped voltages that are that bit more “human” than random. So file it away and use it in your modular patchez, yeah? I have!"
Tiny Bug - a mini glitch Synth!
video upload by Albert Nyström
"This is a little synth I recently built.
It´s kinda based around an Atari punk console, but I added a few bits and pieces to make it more fun and experimental.
Pretty fun to just mess around with and make some noise!"

Moog Satellite Synthesizer

"Vintage analog synth, Moog Satellite. Great presets. Their version of the ARP ProSoloist. This one works great but one lever is chipped (see pics) and it’s kidding one slider top. Other than that it’s in great condition considering how old it is."
Update via ricko in the comments:
"The Satellite is only similar to the Pro-Soloist from the outside. For features, it is comparable to the Arp Explorer. (The Pro-Soloist has unique waves, switchable architecture, and resonant filters.)"

Roland Jupiter-8 61-Key Synthesizer Early Edition with MIDI SN 060306

via this auction
"It is an early one (one of the first five hundred if the serial number finder is accurate). It has had Encore midi installed before I purchased it so it has a whole lot of extra banks for patch storage. I would say mechanically it is Excellent and cosmetically it is Good. If inflation wasn't killing me and my son didn't need braces I would keep this synth forever. I just had it serviced and the internals are in great shape. Had the faders looked at, the keys replaced that needed it, the felts changed if necessary. Cosmetically it may not be the most perfect example but it is certainly not bad for its age. The only part of the body that is not in good shape is where the last owner changed the power cord; he kind of messed that one hinge up when he put the cord receiver in. My tech said it is fine but he couldn't really put a new hinge there. I truly did not notice it until my tech opened the synth up and pointed it out to me. This synth sounds amazing. It truly is the King of Synths. Everything functions as it should..."
