System80's 810 Mk2 - Eurorack Analog Voice
video upload by Stazma
"Very happy to be the one to present to you the 810 Mk2 that I've had for quite some time now (even longer if we talk about the prototype that you may have seen in other videos).
I feel this is one of the best sounding "Vintage Roland Style" voice module, it's a giant sweet spot. I'll show you around quite a few things it can do.
Have fun!"

29- The Arturia MiniFreak- Effects- Chorus
video upload by AutomaticGainsay
"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the chorus effect found on the Arturia MiniFreak.
The theme was created out of presets and crafted patches over an assemblage of fragments of GarageBand loops. For all intents and purposes, it is a MiniFreak-Only composition.

"All have full function and are setup for 120v (though I think the CS-10 needs to be double checked). The CS-15 and CS-30 come from our friend Ko (Modeless) in Japan. Someone posted a CS-30 mod design of Ko's on Matrixsynth [some posts here - found the 5 and 15 but not the 30] and I asked if he would do the same for mine. It is all installed (except) the Osc Sync board (unfortunately he didn't have the parts, put the switch in place - but that's where it ended) - it has, for instance, Din Sync for the sequencer. The mods do not interfere with or remove any of the original function. I have the list and may add it here later. The CS-5 was a reverb purchase for me, and the CS-10 came from a synth tech/collector friend in Sacramento (he can't precisely remember if he converted the CS-10 to 120v - hence should be checked)."

Ensoniq ESQ-1 Wave Synthesizer - w/ LED Sliders

Pics of the inside below.
"This ESQ-1 has been completely overhauled and restored and features upgraded LED sliders. It includes an original Ensoniq ESQ-1 E2 PROM Storage Cartridge.
You're not likely to find another ESQ-1 for sale like this one any time soon. Yes, you might see so-called "professionally refurbished" synths out there, but none like this.
There were no compromises when it came to restoring this ESQ-1. However, I did not attempt to restore this ESQ-1 cosmetically, so there are nicks, light scratches, and other signs of age and use. Read on to see what was done:
CLEANING:
This ESQ-1 has been completely stripped down, literally every part removed and thoroughly cleaned by hand.
For the body, buttons, and keys, I used hot, soapy water, brushes, cloths, and towels to remove all gunk and nastiness that built up over the years.
Every key was removed, cleaned, and if there were chips or holes they were filled and repaired.
The wires and contacts along the keybed were all cleaned and adjusted where necessary.
Every body part was removed and cleaned as described above - no body part was left in place before cleaning.
Each button was removed and cleaned, along with the display cover.
Old flux and grime and dust were all cleaned off the PCBs using appropriate solvents and cleaners. The jacks were all cleaned out. The cartridge port contacts were cleaned.
The pitch and mod wheels and mounting hardware were removed, scrubbed, and cleaned.
