SOLTON PROGRAMMER 24 / SOLTON PROJECT 100

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Italo Disco Machines?
Not false - but these two hotties offer a bit more than that.
Launched around the same time in the mid-80s, none of them caused much stir but at least the Programmer 24 was exported widely and they pop up on the market even in the US.
Overrun by sleeker Japanese machines, most Solton units probably seemed a bit dated at the moment of their release but re-adjusting the rearview mirror a bit we think they sound pretty great.
The Solton Programmer 24 is the obvious song writing tool:
It's a drum machine, bass line generator, chord generator and arpeggiator with an added string and organ section and a filter for the arpeggiator.
A very simple thing, almost a toy, but it's fun as hell and adding some effects to the sounds it gets interesting. For effects we're using the Schulte Compact Phasing, the low-budget, digital delay unit Vermona DEG-50 and the oddball, even lower-budget, mini-rack, multi-effect LEM FX22."

"This is a 1979 Remco Sound FX Machine. The unit has seen almost no use and is fully functioning and in excellent cosmetic condition. All knobs, switches and buttons are smooth and the unit sounds as it should (which is loud and ridiculous!)"

Pittsburgh Modular Taiga [Sounds Only Demo] |No Talking|

video upload by

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2023

The anticipated new Pittsburgh Modular Taiga synth just rolled in the door. I knew I was going to be messing with it all day, so I figured may as well film it and share some curated noise with you. Patched some bass sounds and one clip making weird sound effects. Sounds really good, looking forward to using it in some new tracks.

This video was not sponsored by Pittsburgh Modular, nor Cre8audio. Paid for this unit with my own money. After all, I'm just another synth enthusiast just like you :D

A small amount of delay coming from Behringer DD400 for stereo widening only. Otherwise recorded direct to Tascam DR-05, no additional mastering or effects."

Pinging the ARP 2500

video upload by zack dagoba

"This is a self playing patch on the ARP 2500. There are no envelopes used in this patch - it uses a gate from one of the S&H sections to "ping" the Resonant Multimode Filter - a very cool feature that gives a really nice, organic sounding tone, that can be pitched however you want. Its like having an extra voice to make use of. This patch also uses frequency modulations to vary the timbre in an evolving way. Video shot on a vintage Sony DSR500 camera"
