The New King of Semi-Modular // Pittsburgh Modular Taiga
video upload by Jorb
"All in all, this is such a dope product. oscillators this flexible, with a filter and the dynamics controller immediately the sound palette crosses so many conventional boundaries. I am hooked on the idea of getting multiple voices out of this as a self contained unit, but even without patching this just slaps.
Pittsburgh has got a banger on their hands.

SH-4d // Has Roland Perfected Portable Sound Design?
video upload by Jorb
"The SH4d in my interpretation, is a synthesis sound module first and foremost. The sequencer is really not positioned to be the main draw. It didnt get mentioned much on camera, but to be sure my thoughts aren't lost; I would really love unquantized recording, a note scale mode, and the arpeggiator to stay held while I move between parts. Any other complaints were aired in the video.
Taking a step back, that I can use AA batteries or the same charger as my phone to power this very capable instrument could be enough of a sell, but lucky for us it also sounds really good.

*Resonance Mod* Vintage Roland Jupiter 6 Synthesizer SN 354171

"What makes this a bit different and more special than the run of the mill JP-6 is that I had purchased this off a fellow synth junky and mad scientist who had done a resonance mod to the VCF, which basically stops the filter bass frequencies from getting dropped so much when resonance increases. In the general sense, it sounds a lot better. It doesn't change the character of the filter at all, aside from stopping it from getting wheezy when even the slightest bit of resonance is added. I've had a lot of folks who sold their JP-6 come over to the studio and say that they don't remember theirs ever 'sounding that good'."

Moog Minimoog Model D classic vintage analog monophonic synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The king of synthesizers. Original Moog Minimoog, I believe this is from 1974. Used sparingly in smoke-free / pet-free studio.
Professionally refurbished / gone through in May 2021, the tech replaced the old frail cable/plug with a modern standard IEC power jack in the back, replaced a transistor and checked all operations. All the rest was good.
Everything works great on it and of course it sounds absolutely huge, fat, analog and glorious."

"The NL3 is very unique and unlike ANY other nord product. It offered more FM type textures than any other Lead. Its a perfect synth for massive programming. The textures, atmospheres, pads are simply amazing. But it also seriously delivers in the Bass and Lead departments."
