"Here we have a one of a kind custom PAiA built into an old suitcase built By Steve Alcorn the vice president of engineering at Linn, the synth is an expanded 2700. It inludes original 1/4" patch cables, suitcase has a key and there is another key to power the synth on. Comes with every pamphlet for each module used. Steve also signed the outside of the suitcase.
Steve pre-wired it up like an Arp Odyssey It is still completely custom-patchable as well. Modules include:
Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (3)
Voltage-Controlled Amplifier (2)
Voltage-Controlled Bandpass Filter
Voltage Controlled Low Pass Filter
Envelope Generator
Control Oscillator / Noise Choice
Power Supply
Glide Retro Fit
Envelope Follower / Trigger
Sine Converter / Pulse Width Modulator
Balanced Modulator
Envelope Generator
In addition, all the original manuals are included for the above modules, plus a few other of PAIA's products.
The unit is designed to be easily ported to gigs, where in a few seconds the keyboard can be lifted out of the case cover and the case cover detached, giving you a Moog-like setup. It was a fun performance instrument. I remember generating the crashing waves for Riders on the Storm during a gig in 1973!
This unit has not been powered since the late 70s. Prudence would suggest a thorough inspection of all the electrolytic capacitors, for starters. But this would be a dream project for an electronics tinkerer, and gives you a very large collection of very rare PAIA circuits as your starting place."
"We can't get enough of Nathan's incredible live performance recorded entirely on his Studio-66 modular synth! Sound features include drums, bass, lead-synth with vibrato and pitch bend, polyphonic major/minor chords, arpeggiator, dual sequences, ratcheting, panning, and reverb 🎹🎶"
"Combining unusual suspects today, the #syntakt and the #lightpadblock loaded with the lovely #pentagome script. With the help of a little midi app called #polythemus running on a nearby iPad, i‘m distributing all incoming notes from the lightpadblock over the first 8 channels of the Syntakt in a round robin fashion. Also added an additional #mozaicscript for all passing notes adding random velocity and mapped a few parameters on the Syntakt to be velocity dependent."
"In this patch, we're using twinVCFilter as the sole sound source to demonstrate its versatility and sonic richness.
FourMative CONTOURS is used as the pinging source for both filter sections. The envelope itself is triggered by randomRHYTHM.
One of the filter sections is sequenced by the 1V/OCT out of meloDICER.
All CUTOFF frequencies and the MIX function of twinVCFilter are modulated internally and by a fourMULATOR and a uniCYCLE."

Two Tribes One of my favorite tracks from the 80s. by Frankie Goes To Hollywood Produced by Trevor Horn
All parts made with the E-MU Emulator II (1984)
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks. My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers. Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube. Thank you.
RetroSound synthesizer demo videos since january 2007. Everything is free. If you like my work, you can also support me with the purchase of my merchandise stuff or my music. Shop: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com/ Bandcamp: https://retrosound.bandcamp.com/album..."
Its a rock solid oscillator, which yes there are a ton of them, but this needs to be if its gonna compete. And the waveshaping from the transform circuit gives it enough of its own character to stand out.
I think its priced competitively, it does all the things other up-market "standard" oscillators do (built-in attenuators for modulation, hard and soft sync, built in sub) and it has so much of its own character.
If there's any downside, its kind of a lot of HP? But not really when you consider the sum of its parts.
On all fronts, we got a banger.

Complex Morphing VCO, Subs, FM & more // The Wave Transformer by Earthquaker Devices (Eurorack Demo)
video upload by DivKid
"Well this was a surprise! Earthquaker Devices (makers of fine pedal FX) making a Eurorack oscillator. Yes they made the Afterneath module, but as that was a modular version of a pedal I didn't expect they come guns glazing with a big, bold VCO!
I first saw The Wave Transformer by Earthquaker Devices at Knobcon, where they brought it along for an early look and sat playing with it at the show I knew they were onto something that sounded great. Well now it's released here we are with a demo.
The Wave Transformer is a 20HP Eurorack oscillator, it's analog, with onboard complex, transforming wave shaping, sub generators with unique shapes, FM, sync, LOTS of precise tuning control and options to wave shape external sources, saturate audio and track subs from your other oscillators. I've had lots of fun with this one!"

"The Wave Transformer Eurorack Transfiguration Oscillator $199.00
The Wave Transformer is an analog, vintage-voiced, voltage-controlled oscillator with over 8 octaves of accurate pitch tracking. It has 7 simultaneous wave outputs, including a unique Complex output.
The Transform control morphs from a basic waveform through many strange iterations into a complex, gnarled mass of audio mutations at the Complex output. You can yield countless variations on these permutations by combining this novel circuit with Hard Sync, Soft Sync, Linear FM and Exponential FM. Additionally, you can mute the source waveform to use the circuit as a harmonic gate/VCA, rendering The Wave Transformer a voice unto itself. If that is not enough, there is a Shape Insert that allows you to transform external oscillations and modular-level audio sources."

"Following our ADDC503 Marble Physics here is a new simulation of a physical system. This time imagine a small area in the middle of the ocean, in this area we place 4 equally spaced buoys anchored to the bottom in such a system that we can control the spacing between the buoys. Imagine we can control the elements and agitate the waters at will which in turn will make the buoys move up and down as the water surface moves.
Finally imagine the buoys would wirelessly transmit their absolute height directly to your module outputs where they would be mapped to a voltage signal.
We use a Gerstner Wave as the motor behind the two-dimensional wave generation. In fluid dynamics a Gerstner Wave is described as “a progressive wave of permanent form on the surface of an incompressible fluid of infinite depth”. Gerstner waves are often used in computer graphics to simulate any type of water surface, if you’ve seen any animation film or computer game with water surfaces in it most probably it features a Gerstner wave generating it."
