MoCM & & Schema Musicalis drone Jam @ EMS Synthi 100
video upload by MOCM (A. Monopolis)
"Andreas Monopolis (MoCM) and Stelios Giannoulakis (Schema Musicalis) caress the mythical EMS Synthi100 synthesiser at KSYME, Athens Conservatory, November 2023"
"Dragonflight" (Dungeon Theme, tribute to Jochen Hippel)
video upload by No Lake
"You've probably never heard of this guy and you've probably never heard the original music either but Mad Max, as we used to call him back then, played a major role in my musical roots, maybe the most impactfull musician before I turned 18 and before I was 100% into my masters Vangelis, JMJ, Klaus Schulze and Harrold Budd. This is just a humble 'Christmas improvised revisited jam-cover blah blah blah' of one of his track. Headphones recommended."

Lunar - Ambient Noise 🎄 (Arp 2600 m // Waldorf M + Red Panda Particle 2 // Arturia Keystep Pro)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"For the last video of 2023, I really wanted to spotlight the raw sound of the amazin ARP 2600 M 🤩
So throughout the whole track, you'll only hear the sound coming directly from the ARP 2600 M without any external effects, though I did use its onboard spring reverb (+ a bit of EQ/comp where used for mixing purposes).
Contrary to my previous (which was the first) video featuring the ARP which was an uptempo track, no beats or kick here! Only the ARP and the Waldorf M (+ Particle granular delay).
The same track from the Keystep Pro is sequencing both synths.
As you can see, I use some patching in this one for the ARP:
- The VCF output is going through its preamp input to make the distorted sound you gradually hear (it's being played in parallel of the dry sound coming out from VCF output)
- I also used the LFO to modulate the filter and pulse width of oscillator 2
- I did did some patching as well, in order to play portamento with one of the ARP's oscillator (using the voltage processor "Lag Time")
* Hardware used *
// SYNTH:
- Korg ARP 2600 M (semi modular analog synth) - RAW sound
- Waldorf M (8-voice hybrid digital and analog wavetable) + Red Panda Particle v2 (digital granular delay)
// SEQUENCER:
- Arturia Keystep Pro"

"Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 3 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy."

"Minimoog style desktop synth from Ken Macbeth. The condition is very good. There are no technical problems. There are a few small scratches on the case. 220 volt power supply included.
3VCOs: VCO1 and 2 have saw, pulse, triangle and sine waveforms and the pulse width can be voltage controlled by external CVs. A low frequency noise with level control is available as well. VCO 1 can hard sync VCO2. VCO3 can be used as a modulation oscillator and can be disconnected from the master CV. Modulation targets are filter cutoff frequency and/or pitch of VCOs1and2. All VCOs have individual outputs, coarse and fine frequency controls, separate CV inputs for controlling frequency and pre-filter level controls.
The filter is a Moog 24dB lowpass filter. It´s input is a mixture of all three VCOs and noise. The cutoff frequency can be controlled by the first envelope generator as well as by an external CV. The filtertracking is switchable between off / half / full (0%, 1V/oct and 1.5V/oct).
The envelopes are ADSRs with a switchable release parameter thats time is depending on the decay parameter, just like the Minimoog. The filter envelope can be also used to control VCO2´s pitch what sounds great when VCO2 is synchronised. Furthermore you can invert this envelope´s characteristic. The second envelope modulates the VCA. If an external CV is patched to the VCA the internal modulation is broken up. A momentary button allows for manual triggering of the envelopes"

"This is the 'A' version with the best filter sound. Resonance can sound very good
No functional issues. Well calibrated, buttons 100%
Red knob may be a little loose in shipping, but once you attach it again it shouldn't come off during use. this is the only defect. Never been a major issue just thought I should mention it
The programmer is wonderful. Works seamlessly and really opens up the synth making it a joy to program and perform live. It is not for controlling every possible parameter, but definitely the important ones and allows you to tweak things live."
