via this auction

"One of Korg's first polyphonic instruments, very unusually for a 70s paraphonic/polyphonic synth from the 70s it has a separate oscillator per key.

It truly is fully polyphonic in the note creation department and you can create different tunings for each octave if you wish."

See the recent deep dive demo of one posted here.

Roland System 100m 160 SN 00002

via this auction

"This is one of the rarest if not THE rarest System 100m production run module Roland made. This is serial #00002. I have no idea how this works, and based on online discussion, it is a bit of a mystery. Yes, the price is $5000USD, but the price of the 165, 172, 173,174, 182 have all gone sky high in the last few years. I figure this is worth more, just based on rarity alone. This is a collectors item, not something that I figure is actually usable in today's world. My exact module was featured in '50 years of Roland History' book."

The wonderful world of gain staging, or: how to balance your Eurorack signals


video upload by Frap Tools

"Today we'll introduce the topic of gain staging because yes. We'll explore the concepts of gain versus volume, headroom, and saturation. We'll also do some examples, like how to interface a modular synth with guitar pedals and how to interface a guitar with a modular synthesizer. At the end, a bonus tip on saturation.

SOLAR 42 | AMBIENT SYNTH MACHINE


video upload by ELTA music

"SOLAR 42 is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music. No midi, no presets.
The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music. It is an improved version of the older SOLAR 50 model. The instrument was inspired by early electronic musical instruments of the 1920s and 1950s, notably Leo Theremin's «Harmonium» instrument, as well as science fiction film soundtracks.
The SOLAR 42 does not look like a classic synthesiser, which may confuse the user as it looks very complicated. In fact, it is easy to use. It has 8 voices as separate blocks, a mixer with pan and double effector, and various CV blocks.
