Behringer Teases New POLYSOURCE & BX700 Synths
Details via Behringer
"So Marc, one of our mad product designers, asked me to show his PolySource draft to you, which is inspired by the Moog Source. He stands right behind me and said he won’t leave the office until I have posted it as he wants to read your feedback over the weekend.
Marc is actually a pretty cool guy who was deeply involved in the PRO-800. Before I press the send button he said 'tell the folks we could make this bad boy also with 8 analog voices, full patch memory and for the same price as the PRO-800.'
So what do you want to tell Marc? Go or no-go?"
"What a crazy Friday. Can you believe that after Marc left the office, our other obsessed product magician Miguel quietly tapped me on my shoulder and handed me this synth prototype.
He said 'you need to know that this synth is on no roadmap, no business plan and even Uli doesn’t know about it. I have designed this in my spare time and I just wanted to share this secretly with you.
It’s a DX7 on steroids as it has an authentic CS-80 analog filter, a drum machine built in and a few other cool features.'
I promised Miguel to keep it confidential so when I share this with you, make sure you don’t share it with anyone else, otherwise I’ll be in big trouble.
We promise to never make this synth as the world surely doesn’t need another DX7, or does it?"

Bad Gear - Casio RZ1
video upload by AudioPilz
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Casio RZ-1. Is this classic 80s drum machine and sampler the holy grail for nailing the vintage sound of early De La Soul (Three Feet High and Rising), Wu Tang Clan (The RZA), Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers or is it just a corny lofi beats maker? Can it stand it's ground when compared to the Roland TR-707 or lofi sampler instruments like the Roland SP-202 or Roland SP-303?
Thanks to Levni for lending me this beautiful antique:

ALM Introduces BXx2 - ALM043 & STEREO SUM - ALM038
video upload by ALM TV
"The BXx2 is a dual channel preamp, EQ and mixer based on the classic Boss BX series mixers. Well loved for their unique character and musicality, the sound of the BX is found throughout countless techno records from the 80s & 90s.
With the inclusion of both input gain and level controls, each channel can be overdriven, producing the signature saturated and lively sound the BX mixers are known for. The EQ controls provide the channels with simple but great sounding high and low shelf EQs for emphasising and shaping sounds as well as the tonality of the drive. An additional Aux input allows another mixer or extra sound source to be chained in.
The BXx2 is a simple but powerful sound shaping tool, adding colour and warmth to anything patched through it.
It was designed in collaboration with Feedback Modules – based on their single channel PRE BX module and has a limited release of only 300 units. Visit Feedback Modules here: https://feedback-modules.myshopify.com/"
Introducing STEREO SUM - ALM038
video upload by ALM TV
"The ‘STEREO SUM’ is a unity gain summing mixer that features four stereo input pairs summed as pairs to two independent mix outs or all as a single combined mix. It is a useful utility for efficiently combining outputs of multiple stereo sources, such as the MEGA-TANG and Jumble Henge mixers or multiple MFX returns.
The inputs accept stereo or mono signals (via normalisation) which can be audio or CV (module is DC coupled) and the top mixer’s outputs are normalised to the bottom mixer section meaning if the upper output is left unpatched the two upper inputs will be added to the lower output."
Introducing CRUM DRUM - a generative drum synth!
video upload by Albert Nyström
Details via Thonk
"Crum Drum is a 4-voice drum machine with built in randomisation and probability based sequencing designed by NYSTRÖM
Rhythms can be created and manipulated using the internal random sequencer or externally via MIDI USB. Press the beat button to generate new rhythms, adjust the probability to create continuous variations, and increase the randomness to modulate the sound of your beats! Generated sequences can also be sent out via MIDI and Crum Drum can also sync via analog clock in and out.

video upload by Canned Sound
"Rare 1988 stereo keyboard which combines 100 2-op FM preset sounds, 10 rhythms and an 8-bit sampling function incorporating a four stage envelope generator and 9 adjustable DSP effects. This unit has been custom modified to include a 14 point patch bay (five stackable patch cables included) which allows for the further low-res processing of any sample recorded via the onboard microphone or phono input (jack to phono adapter included). The patch matrix generates aliasing, bit crushed, stuttering, bleeping, warped digital degradation, offering numerous unique lo-fi sound design possibilities.
00:00 Intro.
00:03 Voice sample ('1, 2, 3') processed with the 14 point patch matrix.
03:35 Sampled rhythm loop processing with the 14 point patch matrix.
09:06 Voice sample edited using the loop and u-turn features played across the keyboard.
10:26 Voice sample edited using the loop, u-turn and frequency modulation features.
11:03 Voice sample edited using the loop, u-turn and amplitude modulation features.
12:01 Some preset voice demos.
13:52 Preset rhythm demos.
14:53 Sampled rhythm loop played up and down the keyboard.
15:28 Sampled rhythm loop processed with the u-turn feature.
15:47 Sampled rhythm loop processed with the frequency modulation feature.
16:12 Sampled rhythm loop processed with the reverse feature."
