Seeds2 DEMO by Kassen

video upload by Jw Hagenbeek

"The Seeds2 explained to Erik by Kassen (the programmer of the firmware)
#eurorack #ginkosynthese #modular #modularsynth #arp2600"

DIY Kits will be available via SynthCube.

This is the first small batch of assembled SEEDS2! The SEEDS2 is not officially released yet.

The assembling of this first batch is done to create a building manual and tells me what to move around on the PCB to make assembling asier. This means that these first modules will be available far before the real release and you will be the first to have this module in your rack!


The SEEDS2 is a powerfull 8 bit synth voice that gives you a lot of different sounds in a small package!

The sounds range from razor sharp FM basslines to commodore style bleebs and from soft flutes to nasty noises.

More detailed video's and a manual will be available when the module is officially released.

The SEEDS2 is a highly upgraded version of the SEEDS.
There are many new new sounds.
The interface has more knobs to control your sounds and all have their own CV input.
The MOD control is upgraded with a cv attenuator.
The filter section is upgraded and has its own modulation input.
The output stage has been redesigned and has a smoother sound.

So I've been experimenting with different AI engines (free & paid). All images that you see in this video have been generated by me using various techniques and c.prompt commands. The deeper the story you want to tell with a picture, the less realistic it's going to look, but it's fun;)

Music: one of WC Olo Garb demo tracks (originally intended for vocals) that I found on my hard drive. Made with a variety of hardware & VST synths & samplers."

Oberheim OB-8 w/ MIDI SN C44301

"This particular OB-8 has the factory MIDI modification, which is a big deal, earlier versions didn't have MIDI. Firmware version is B5.4

All the buttons work perfectly, all of the pots work as expected, keyboard, MIDI. Noise floor is excellent, tuning is stable. Patches save as expected. Filters track consistently from voice to voice. In the calibration the filters will self oscillate with the resonance turned all the way up."

"Roland VP-330 MKI Vocoder Plus 49-Key Synthesizer from the late 1970s. It was just serviced and recapped where necessary. It is fully functional with zero idle noise. The cosmetic condition is very rough and was clearly used on the road. This is a great price if you don’t mind the cosmetic shape. It will be packed with care."

Moog Grandmother plus Eight!

video upload by Peter Churchyard

"Moog Grandmother plus eight Moog Werkstatt.
Schematics and Software at 'http://moddersandrockers.com/werkstat...'
The Werkstatt have my midi mod that takes over the keyboard logic and is driven by an Arduino. There are two quad units. The Arduino uses a few switches to control the many different note routing methods. The main modes are Unison and Individual. One mode only cycles through three of the Werkstatt and another treats the Midi out as up to four other instruments."
