"The Grandmother is a lovely semi-modular analog monosynth with circuits based on the original Moog modular modules. It has the classic heavy Moog sound and is great for bass, warm leads, and of course can get weird with some patching."
It's near in perfect condition, which is rare for a synth that age.
A very raw, meaty duophonic synth with the addition of the second oscillator that can be detuned and a killer VCF.
Favored by Depeche Mode and Vangelis, this synth has the Midi I/O installed for CC and Sysex, in addition to the CV/Gate inputs.
Revised in 2020 at reputable Belltone in Philadelphia, the power supply was recapped, made US-Voltage compatible and fully calibrated as it is from Japan originally.
"Waveformer presents the "Berlin School and Ambient Construction Kit Vol 3" soundbank for Korg Wavestate - available for purchase from https://gumroad.com/waveformer.
This is my third volume in the “Berlin School and Ambient Construction Kit” series of soundbanks for the amazing KORG Wavestate synthesizer. It was built over a period of 12 months and was completed in April 2023.
The soundbank has 21 original Performances. All Performances contain four Layers with multiple Lanes of Wave Sequences, designed to be easy to tweak and reshape as you play them live. Most of the Layers use Arpeggiators which interact with the Wave Sequences to transform the rhythm, pitch, timbre and dynamics of the notes from the Arpeggiator. The individual Layers in a Performance are designed so they work well together and can play alone – just like individual members of a band.
The accompanying user manual describes each Performance in detail, with a guide to both playing and twisting knobs. It also includes tips and tricks for the Wavestate and some insights into how the Performances were designed.
I hope you’ll find this soundbank inspiring. Thank you for your support. :-)
"Welcome to this moody house improvised jam, where we explore the creative potential of combining different electronic music gear to make an atmospheric and hypnotic groove. In this session, we use a combination of Elektron boxes, including the Octatrack as the central hub for sequencing and effects, and two external analog synths, the Dreadbox Nymphes and the Moog Sirin, to add warmth and character to the sound.
The main technique we use here is the Octatrack arpeggiator, which allows us to create complex melodic patterns by triggering different notes in sequence. We use the arpeggiator in different ways, such as changing the speed, direction, and note range, to keep the rhythm evolving and interesting.
Throughout the video, you'll see and hear the different elements of the jam being introduced and manipulated, from the deep bassline of the Sirin to the ethereal pads of the Nymphes, to the glitchy drums and percussions of the Elektron boxes. We also use various effects, such as reverb, delay, and distortion, to enhance the textures and add depth to the mix.
The mood of the jam is introspective and contemplative, with a hint of melancholy and nostalgia. The sound evolves gradually, with subtle variations and nuances that create a sense of organic growth and development.
I hope you enjoy this moody house improvised jam and get inspired to experiment with your own gear and techniques. Let's dive in!"
"I acquired the Korg NTS-1 Oscilloscope in an Amazon special which came with the book 'Patch and Tweak' - so figured I'd film the building process and immediately follow with a sample use scoping the background bass line beat to this video.
The scope is quite useful for my non-eurorack gear because:
- I can move it around easily
- it runs on batteries (2 AA)
- it has 2 inputs and thru ports
- it has a TUNER (!!)
- it is TINY!
loads more features than I tested so far... happy to try some for viewers who have specific questions..."
