Winterdawn | MIDERA - Downtempo electronic track featuring Spectralis, Virus TI, and Machinedrum

"Decided to try out the sequencer mode on the Virus and use more than one part. It was fun to use it more fully than just a single part. Enjoy.

Synths and Apps. EP2: Noise Patterns.
video upload by Igor Vasiliev
"Bass line - Moog SlimPhatty with sequencer Doepfer DarkTime. NoiseBox device with filterbank Akai MFC42 and Roland Space Echo RE-201 generate noise and glitch. All output processed with VintageRack app with effects - PhaseBox (phaser), Dimension D (chorus), EasyFlange (flanger), TremOvibe (tremolo and vibrato), TubeSpring (spring reverb).
VintageRack (iOS, Mac, Audio unit) effects could be a great addition not only for single instrument, but also as master effects for mix bus of several sound sources. When using an external audio interface this app is very convenient for live performance.

Rare Dynacord ADS-K Keyboard Sampler
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
This one was spotted and sent in via M Me.
This appears to be the first one to be featured on the site. Also see the Dynacord ADD-two.

From the listing:
"Here comes the rare keyboard version of the ADS, namely the ADS-K, under the hammer!
The ADS/ADS-K dates back to 1989 and raised the 16-bit bar a little higher with 20-bit converters. On the one hand, the ADS ties in with Dynacord's drum sampler history and, on the other hand, with their PA products (the well-known DRP-20 dates from the same time).
Extremely slick 80s design. Is - for my taste - only topped by the white version. But I've never seen them for sale. But the black version is also impressive. Who owns a Dynacord keyboard!?
Can also be used as a master keyboard due to the good synth keyboard and the large contact surface for computer keyboards or similar.
The features:
- 16bit with 20bit D/A converter
- Stereo sampling
- 16 votes
- 2MB, expandable to 8MB
- reads S-900 floppy disks (but I was never able to try it due to the lack of the sampler mentioned)
- Re-sampling (can sample itself)
- Additive synthesis with 64 harmonics
- Modulation matrix (see pictures; That's right, we also know it from another device, especially from the ramp generators. The software was said to have been programmed by the same gentlemen.)
- Internal mixer with loop-in path
- Individual outputs
- SCSI connection (I haven't been able to try that before, but it should still work)
- Good synth keyboard with effective dynamic conversion
- more features: see Internet
Unfortunately, the 33 years have left the following traces:
- The top two buttons are broken and beyond repair. I took them out of service and temporarily glued them on for cosmetic reasons. Didn't turn out that well - you can see a slight difference in height in the pictures. I hope the construction survives the transport.
- The upper right segment of the right 7-segment display is defective. You can see that in the pictures. "00" should be displayed. But that doesn't matter when playing, because you primarily look at the display and the button labels.
- The lower octave keys are slightly yellowed.
Scope of delivery:
- Dynacord ADS-K
- Original box
- Power cord
- Disks with sounds (unfortunately some of them are no longer readable)
- Leftovers/components of the two defective keys"

"I'm using the Korg ARP 2600 synth for the lead voice (and bass). The Behringer ARP 2500 modules are handling the sequencing and the sequenced voice. Drums are from the Mutable Instruments Peaks module driven by the Euclidean Circles module from VPME.de"
