"Vintage Sequential Six-Track poly-synth. Tested in good working condition shows average wear and tear but fully functional otherwise.
Six voice, polyphonic synthesizer similar to a Juno but it can function as a 6 monophonic, multi-timbral voices as well! The interface on this is...less than exciting, especially when comparing it to the Prophet 5. But that doesn't mean its impossible, or even difficult to program. And with Dave Smith (RIP) being one of the fathers of MIDI, you can control pretty much any parameter with CC messages!"

"Moog Prodigy (Model 336A) classic mono synth originally marketed as an entry level synthesizer to working musicians. Now a modern day classic due its sound and ease of use, no frills just that MOOG sound. Recently gone over by our in-house tech along with a new grounded AC power cable. Wood cabinet is well worn, but we think it looks stellar. Serial no. 5984"
"The MOTOR Synth MKII is an electro-mechanical synthesizer from Gamechanger Audio that uses 8 DC motors to produce sounds. In this video we are analyzing MOTOR Synth's architecture and dissecting the signal path from the motors to the output.
This is the 3rd video in the series of MOTOR Synth MKII features. You can find all videos in this playlist:
Learn - Octopulse MaxforLive Device for Ableton Live by Manifest Audio
"Did you know the otherworldly octopus has a uniquely distributed neural system? Its central brain is connected to brains in each of its eight arms: nine brains total.
Inspired by this unique lifeform, Octopulse is designed by Ableton Certified Trainer Noah Pred to combine eight individually adjustable pulse generators with global controls that manipulate them in unison — while retaining distinct characteristics, directions, and behaviours.
Each activated pulse “arm” is driven by its own clock, defined by a base musical rate and multiplier, along with controllable length, at a specified MIDI note. Trigger, octave, and velocity can all be randomized to add a wealth of variation. Note values, base rates, and rate multipliers for all arms can be randomized globally, within set ranges; click the global dice to instantly produce a unique starting point. Velocity, duration, and multiplier can be controlled for all steps simultaneously, as well as trigger, octave, hold, and velocity randomization.
Advanced mode provides access to pulse divisions for polyrhythmic tuplet timing independently for each pulse, Euclidean sequencing, individual loop reset in bars, and discrete offset delay, with locks to exempt certain parameters from global control or randomization. Euclidean fills can be set per pulse, and controlled globally via uniquely proportional percentage slider. Pulse divisions can also be set globally for all unlocked pulses.
Outgoing MIDI can be transposed via incoming MIDI clips or real-time input for uniquely interactive musical results — all of which conforms to a selected scale and key. An optional cycle reset interval constrains otherwise endlessly sprawling polymetric structures to more predictable bar-length patterns, while a base offset and multiplier can stagger the entire pattern offbeat.
Four playback modes allow it to interact with other MIDI elements in a project — or be deployed as an unconventional, retriggering arpeggiator. Optimized for Push with full Info View annotations and bundled Global Hub integration, Octopulse provides a fresh approach to probabilistic polyrhythms. Whether generating unique drum patterns or expansive melodic patterns, Octopulse is applied biomimicry in action.
"The Blue Journey 128 sound set for the M synthesizer explores the technology from the past that made PPG and Waldorf Music machines historical landmarks. It highlights firmware version 1.07 and 1.08 that brought a slew of functionally to the M; almost giving it new synthesizer engines without sacrificing user experience!
The first 32 [1-32] patches are using MW1 mode only with PPG Transitions (short 22kHz / 16bit mono samples) exclusively; PPG Transitions reading feature was introduced in firmware version 1.07. Those patches have the Transition number + Slot number in the M Patch Name, so it’s easy to rebuild (e.g. T143 S3 Low Rez Vox is the patch name of patch number 1 on the M, using PPG Transition T143 in M Slot 3).
The required samples are from the original PPG library and have already been renamed for use in the M. A detailed overview and instructions for loading the samples into there M are available in the downloads after purchase.
The next 32 [33-64] patches are exploring MW2 mode new features: new digital filters were introduced in firmware version 1.08.
Those patches have the M digital filter type in the M Patch Name (and in the file name on synth_nyc website and bandcamp) (e.g. B Stop Marbles is the patch name of patch number 36 on the M, using the B Stop filter), so it’s easy to know which filter was used and showcasing the M firmware 1.08 capability.
The last 64 [65-128] patches are a mix of MW1 and MW2 modes but not using any Transitions.
In The Blue Journey sound set, you will find many vocal textures, vocal plucks, vocal basses and vocal pads because this is probably where the M excels; where it’s ‘magic’ and uniqueness are more present. There are also many other leads, basses, and even VA patches; and of course many wavetable scanning patches, that can make it to any retro or modern production.
I hope you’ll enjoy The Blue Journey, as much as I enjoyed programming the patches."
"I just added a new performance mode to Strokes which lets you smoothly interpolate/transition/morph between sounds/sequences/patterns and even project files.
There's a few other improvements too :
- Samplers upgraded. Each has 5 sub-samplers enabling you to use different samples per pattern.
- Bus saturator & glue compressor and main stereo outs
- Hit the channel label on the voices page to copy settings between patterns/voices
Just getting to know this beauty at the moment, but wow, the programming possibilities with this beast are huge!
This patch is utilising LFO's to trigger Envelopes, triggered by note values, and triggered by arp, comes to a life of its own when sustain pedal is held down.
Amazing machine! I'm gonna have fun with this one! :)
