"The Expander is a Rhodes Chroma in module format. About 150 were made. This is #3.
It has been fully serviced and upgraded by Randel Osborne who has restored many Chromas and also builds the Enabler controller [see this video].
- installation of the switching power supply (by Luca Sasdelli)
- installation of the CPU Plus (CC+) control board (MIDI upgrade with breakout cable)
- replacement of electrolytic capacitors and addition of bypass capacitors in sample/hold section of all voice cards
- refinishing of all woodwork
- complete synth testing, adjustment, cleaning
Extreme rarity, top-level restoration and essential upgrades make this Expander a very special instrument and high-value investment. It's the rarest version of ARP's most powerful synth, in perfect working condition. Amazing by itself or interfaced with another Chroma."
"The Clockwork Card is a timing control hub designed to fit into the slot of the Stored Program Sound Source Model 208.
Inspired by Charles Cohen’s looping techniques, this card aims to provide an accessible way to control timing and create interesting rhythms. It offers multiple clocking options, 30 preset pattern banks, and the ability to shift and rotate rhythmic patterns across different destinations. The card also features two special modes (CLIX and Uncertainty Mode), and allows for customisation through its USB-C port."

"A unit with no markings and a hearsay history found its way into my studio. It is unique and wonderful, but shrouded in mystery. I show what it can do, but can you help me uncover it's history? Featuring @HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES aka Jamie Lidell

"First part of our User Guide for the MiniMod Keyz - A full Minimoog-based analogue Eurorack modular synth and Cre8audio NiftyKeyz package available from AJH Synth. This part covers the basics for someone who may be new to the world of modular - how to patch the modules together to produce a typical monosynth sound, and the most important functions of the keyboard you'll need to understand so that you can start your musical journey. Later videos will go into more details about the modules and some of the other controller features.
This is a complete ready-to-go Eurorack synthesizer system, with additional Moog CP-3-style mixer, dual sub-bass/sub-octave generator, 3 input analog ring modulator based on the EMS Synthi/VCS3, voltage-controlled high pass filter, and a powerful multi-function, clockable LFO complete with random modes. Couple these high-end, vintage-voiced, and generously-featured modules with the extensive capabilities of the Nifty Keyz, and you've got one powerful monosynth."

"The Perkons drum machine doesn't always have to pound out crazed gabber or hard techno. This piece started as an exercise to create a classic retro drum machine kit: bass drum, low tom, crispy snare and cymbal. Then I wanted to make a single pattern that could sustain itself for several minutes without sounding like a simple loop. So the tracks are running at different speeds, use ratchets, parameter locking, a little LFO and the "odds" feature where steps only sound every 2, 4 or 8 bars. Add to that a little live muting, one kit change, and some samples.
The movie clips and samples are all from the 1957 movie 'The D.I.'
Routing setup is: Voice 1 bass drum straight out to the DAW. Voice 2 low tom out to the Canyon delay then to the DAW. Voices 3 snare and voice 4 cymbal to the main out and into the Nemesis delay for a tiny touch of stereo delay. There is no sound processing in the DAW.
As usual it was very tempting to do further processing and add in some extra music but I thought it best to leave this as 'pure Perkons'. The samples are there because no one can listen to a three minute drum solo and remain sane.
