"Roland Jupiter 6 61-Key Synthesizer from the early 1980s in very good condition overall. It is completely fully functional with no idle noise and was just loaded with the original factory presets. It is studio ready with no weird technical stuff going on whatsoever. There are minor areas of cosmetic wear on the end cheeks and two very small rust spots on the chassi. However, the condition is impressive for how old it is. The original two prong power cable is included."
"I was the lucky winner of Perfect Circuit's Malstrom Mandrake giveaway. Here I'm giving an overview and several patch examples of this awesome kick drum module. Thanks for watching!"
"EMW Analog Snare Lab (with external noise through EMW wasp filter) and the mighty EMW Analog Drum Synth driven by a pulse counter and pulse divider. Monstrous Vinicius Elektrik Overfolder processing both drum modules."
"The Spectraphon combines a spectral processor with a complex VCO. While it may look huge (34 HP)) it's still a lot smaller than a combined Buchla 259 and 296. A spectral processor is a bit like a parametric EQ with CV control, where you can slide through/focus on frequency bands. SP will analyze incoming sound, classify the harmonic content (the spectrum) and adds it to its own fundamental sine. The process of resynthesis is like impressionism in paintings, creating loose and inaccurate brush strokes of the original sound. So it's NOT a sampler and it doesn't capture audio. It listens to incoming audio, and paints its own picture. The process is called Spectral Amplitude Modulation (changing the volume of individual 'colors' with CV) aka SAM. Hello, SAM!
These spectra can also be saved for later use. But it doesn't stop there. First, SP offers two independent spectral processors A & B, which can interact with an FM bus. Side B can also sync with/follow side A.
So you can process two sounds and then mangle them into beautiful new textures. You can also use the saved spectra (16 arrays containing up to 1024 spectra) in Spectral Array Oscillation mode (SAO) and use it as a dual complex spectral VCO. But it doesn't stop there either. It also offers two multi-functional outputs that work as envelope followers in SAM, and sub-oscillators in SAO. They also double as stepped/smooth random CV and a triangle LFO. Then, the journey begins. So yes, you will be influenced. Spectraphon is a Jedi mind trick. This is the droid you're looking for.
All music in this video is created with Spectraphon as the final audio source. Some parts are produced and multitracked in the DAW. I'll use a 'live' indicator when the patch is 'raw' and recorded as is.

The video below is bit more on the raw noise/experimental side [watch your volume levels]. It's interesting from the perspective that the Pro 3 has the ability to create these non conventional timbres. It can be raw, brutal, and wide open.
"Waldorf M is an 8 voice wavetable synthesizer with analog filters and VCAs. An extensive collection of wavetables allows to find unusual shades of the sound palette, and analog filter maintains the quality of the output sound at the proper level.
LFO Store presents a remarkable soundbank created by the talanted team of sound designers for this interesting Waldorf’s device. These 55 exclusive presets are modwheel assigned and full of modulation options to be used both for studio work and live performances!
In this soundset you may find cosmic leads, dreamy ARPs, touchy plucks, penetrating pads, bright basses, and much more! The sounds are suitable for different styles of music, including ambient, cinematica, EDM, etc.
The soundset will be useful for both professionals, thanks to complex sounds and modulation techniques, and beginners, to explore the possibilities of the synthesizer from different angles!"
"The Spectraphon is a dual spectral oscillator that utilizes real-time spectral analysis to create new sounds from existing ones. It's perfect for doing all kinds of spectral shaping craziness, like vocoding, additive synthesis, resonators, and spectral processing.
"The Make Noise x SoundHack Spectraphon is a dual spectral oscillator for Eurorack modular synthesizers. At first glance, it might look somewhat like a classic "complex oscillator" in the style of Buchla's 259 or Make Noise's own DPO—but there's much more to it than that. To make a long story short, it offers a new and novel approach to sound design that we haven't quite seen in Eurorack before.
Rather than relying on wavefolding, Spectraphon is all about additive synthesis and resynthesis: you can think of it as an oscillator whose timbre is driven by external sound sources. Inspired by the Buchla 296 Programmable Spectral Processor and Touché hybrid keyboard synthesizer, it presents a new and novel take on sound generation and processing.
As a live processor, Spectraphon can be like a vocoder, a resonator, a pseudo-spectral freeze; as an oscillator, it creates a wide range of evolving tones based on stored analyses of external sounds. It's a dense module—so in this video, we dive into how it works and how it sounds.
