Vice Virga - Great fill maker for drums
video upload by John Schussler
"In an earlier Beat Mangler video I tried out the Jam Jam from Noise Engineering, and had a hard time getting what I wanted out of it. Turns out what I really needed was a Vice Verga. That's arrived, and is clearly the answer to the question: 'What if you want some interesting drum fills on a regular basis, but don't want to do it manually?'
I used a 2hp Burst in this patch, but I'm guessing if I read more of the Pam's manual there's probably a way to do it entirely within Pam's.
Either way, Vice Verga is a great fill maker for drums."
The Roland Juno-106 | Quirks and features you probably don't know about
video upload by Espen Kraft
"The Roland Juno-106 synthesizer can do a lot more than you think. It can use 3 oscillators per voice if you want it to. You can use negative filter envelopes and even use it as a mono synth. And more. I go through some of the more unknown quirks and features. Video tutorial."

Moog Prodigy Vintage Analog Synthesizer w/ External Control, CV/Gate SN 10663

via this auction, also on Reverb
"1983 Moog Prodigy model 336A monophonic synthesizer in excellent condition and in perfect working order, featuring the external control section for CV/Gate and MIDI/CV interfacing. Produced from 1979-84, this short-lived synthesizer has become very popular as a bass synth in techno and electronic music; used by artists including Fatboy Slim, Depeche Mode, and The Prodigy (who even named themselves after it). Only 11,000 were ever made, and this example (with a serial near the end of the production range) dates to late '83.
The Prodigy features a dual voltage-controlled oscillator design, and this versatile synth delivers classic analog sounds with controls that are both user-friendly and versatile. Oscillator 1 has sawtooth, triangle, and pulse waveforms, and Oscillator 2 has sawtooth, triangle, and square waveforms. The waveforms can be detuned up or down by more than a fifth for thick pads and atonal sounds, and the oscillators can also be synchronized; in sync mode, the pitch wheel alters the tonality of the pitch as opposed to the pitch itself, enabling roaring synth leads.
There are Oscillator Mod, Mixer, Filter, Filter Contour, and Loudness Contour control sections, as well as Tune and Slide Wheels. The Prodigy features a genuine Moog four-pole 24dB/octave lowpass filter (the Emphasis knob), A/D/S envelope generator, and LFO with square or triangle waveforms and routing to the VCF, VCO, or both. The synth features both Pitch and Mod wheels. The back panel has a notably expanded range of controls compared to early examples of the Prodigy, and the external control section includes S Trigger in/out, Keyboard in/out, Oscillator in, VCF in, Sync in and Hi Level audio out. These additional features are essential for interfacing with CV/Gate or MIDI/CV devices.
The synth retains its original end caps which show moderate wear, and the bass-side end cap has a small chunk missing out of the back bottom corner. All of the original knobs and switches are present, and the graphics are clean. Cosmetic wear includes a number of minor nicks and scratches on the enclosure, largely relegated to the back and sides."
