ANALOG SOVIET SYNTHESIZER. FORMANTA EMS-01

video upload by Alexander Obukhov

"Formanta EMS-01 is a historical artifact in the world of electronic music. This analog synthesizer, created in the Soviet Union, embodies the craftsmanship of engineers and sonic explorers of its time. It represents an amazing blend of creative possibilities and unique sonic heritage.

The EMS-01 possesses an unusual, sometimes unpredictable sonic character that has become the hallmark of this synthesizer. This platform, although crafted over half a century ago, still captivates musicians with its unique capabilities and sonic versatility.

EMS-01 is not just a musical instrument. It's a fragment of history captured in analog circuits and keys. Its sonic capabilities have no parallels in modern synthesizers, making it a collector's item for any music enthusiast or aficionado of electronic music."

"There are hidden gems out there by companies that did not exist a year ago. This, my dear friends, is a diamond. Lost in traffic, shaped by water and hiding in Room 2C of a dark hotel with Doorman that speaks triggers. Confused? You won't be after watching this video.

"In this video we're checking out our new LFO module, MVM020 - Skew LFO.

15% of the proceeds from this collection of modules will be donated to One of a Kind Pet Rescue in Akron, OH. OOAK Pet Rescue is a “no kill”/no-time-limit shelter which rescues animals from a variety of dangerous situations. There’s also no-time-limit on this project in the sense that it’s not merely a one time donation, but will apply to the life-span of this particular collection of modules."

Barton Musical Circuits BMC106 Resonant Glide

video upload by boogdish

via Barton Musical Circuits

"This module is composed of two Sallen-Key low pass filters designed to be used on very low frequencies. When pitch control voltages are processed through this, it creates a portamento which then turns into vibrato. Depending on resonance control, this vibrato can die out almost immediately or go on for the duration of the note. When used with envelope generators, this module can be used to add extra "bumpiness" to an envelope signal allowing for more harmonic content. With a gate signal, the module can be used as a simple envelope generator with equal sloped attack and release.

This design can be used with +/-15V systems without modification"

BMC107 Schematic Walkthrough. Dual Comparator W/Logic Outputs

via Barton Musical Circuits
"This module is composed of two voltage controlled comparators which are gate outputs that turn on when an input voltage exceeds a threshold voltage. Four additional gate outputs turn off and on depending on the relative outputs of the comparators. This was initially designed as a way to add soft-sync features to VCOs that only have hard-sync, but has also been useful for turning envelope generators into gated loops

This design can be used with +/-15V systems with a few resistor value changes."

Kebu - Perplexagon part 1 (Novation Circuit OG remix)

video upload by bigkik

"Hello,

I discovered the Perplexagon album from Kebu a few weeks ago and instantly got hypnotized by those synthesizers sounds, so I could not resist giving it a try.

I actually picked also a loop from 'Perplexagon part 4' for the intro.

Today I checked the preset patches that arrived from the sound designers.
There were a lot of great patches this time as well, and I had fun checking them out.
At that time, I shot videos of some Preset patches, so please take a look.


Thanks,

YAMAHA GENOS 2 - Behind The Scenes at SECRET LAUNCH EVENT

video upload by Woody Piano Shack

"I was honoured to be a VIP guest at the SECRET LAUNCH EVENT of the new YAMAHA GENOS 2 WORKSTATION ARRANGER KEYBOARD during October 2023. Join me in Berlin for a recap and the behind the scenes story and footage. I was one of the first lucky people in the world to lay my hands on this new arranger keyoard. Plus an exciting visit to the exclusive Yamaha Synth Museum in Berlin.

Whilst we are here, we will also take a look at the remains of the Berlin Wall!

Many more demo, review and tutorial videos to come over the coming weeks when I receive my own GENOS2.

Rare birds: Elka Wilgamat 1 / analog drum machine and accompaniment unit

video upload by ohm_studi_ohm

"Here is another 'one man band' from the 70s I just serviced. Many dead CMOS chipsets, lots of bad connections on the motherboard daughterboards sockets (broken pins, bad solder joint) and a dying voltage regulator, among other things. Custom built keyboard to trigger the accompaniment unit, with jack socket input for pedal that introduce drum breaks. A different flavor than the Welson Ritmo I recently demoed but definitely in the same mood.
Recorded through a Teisco 120 to add some reverb."

This appears to be the first post to feature the Elka Wilgamat 1. Note the "1" on the right. The Elka Wilgamat minus the "1" has been featured on the site before in previous posts here. Which came first? :) You can find additional Elka Wilgamat models here.

Update: according to Ohm Studio: "Electronics are exactly the same. I think this one is later and was an add for some Elka organ, maybe Concorde or something. The black color is I think factory since it’s all over the case even inside. It’s clearly the same fake wood as the original but painted black, probably to better match the organ aesthetics. I definitely remember seeing auctions with Elka organ and this wilgamat unit bundle. Also the complete wilgamat electronics and controls are fitted in some Elka organ, spinet and combo. Don’t remember which model but I did scavenged à spinet one to retrieve all the pcbs."
