"Vintage classic Moog Sonic Six analog synthesizer from the early 1970s. Serial number # 2110.
Awesome, powerful original Moog analog sound from their golden era, with lots of cool functions and modulations.
All the functions work well on it and it sound great. Only thing it needs is keyboard-tracking regulation- that is, adjust a few internal calibration trimpots with a small screwdriver, to play perfectly in tune as you go up and down the keyboard. Directions freely available on the Sonic Six technical service manual pdf available online (right now the keyboard tunes a bit "higher" in pitch, that is it goes up in pitch more than 1v per octave that it needs - but again, other than that all the functions work great on it).
(Also since this is vintage, a couple of keys might double-trigger here and there if you don't use the synth for a long time, but they do clear right up after you play them a couple of time and thus exercise the keyboard contacts. Again a common vintage synth thing. )"
"A very rare and desirable Yamaha cs-80 that was modified by the Yamaha custom shop to have split and unison as well as a "FG filter mod" controllable by the selector switch to sweep through preset filter stages. There are a lot of extra circuit boards in the synth for these modifications"
"Exploring split mode improvising with some patches I made. Really enjoying working my way through learning all the things the synth can do. Keep getting lost in designing sounds as it’s very satisfying to mess around with all the settings and build out different sounds."
UDO Super Gemini - A Winter’s Night(single layer improvisation)
"First couple weeks with the Super Gemini. Having some fun improvising with a chill single layer patch I made. DDS2 set to make some wind effects with noise while DDS1 is using LFO1 as a second oscillator for the melody. Reminded me of a windy, snowy winter walk through the trees. Not a revolutionary patch by any means but has been relaxing and so inspiring playing around with the Gemini."
"When I made the Deckard's Dreams video yesterday [below], I tried to multi-sample a Shared System patch. I thought it would be cool to sample a big duophonic patch with movement an effects - and sample a range of C2 to C6 into bitbox so I could play it like this huge machine of countless Shared Systems.
I am going to try Strega too one day. It felt like magic, almost like patching on 'forbidden ground'. Then I tought it would be cool to use a bit of click-bait and imagine myself in 2034 when I'd have 1M likers and 1.1M haters while collecting forbidden MakeNoise gear on the Black market. I realize it may be too farfetched for some of you, but this is real. It's a private video and you are not supposed to see it anyway."
"BitBox MK2 (and the Micro) offer support for 'multi-sampling'. It's an easy automated process where BitBox will send pitch CV and a gate to sample a range of notes and lay them out on the keyboard. So with this simple trick, you could turn any VCO into a polyphonic velocity sensitive patch. In this case, it helps me to turn Deckard's Voice (mono) into a (static) CS-80 patch which still can be filtered, enveloped, etc. But it's also possible to play the VCO while sampling, so you'd get a rich pad with lots of movement. It's the first time I used this technique and it will not be the last."
"Playing around with the MINIMUM function of the Serge GTS for eurorack.
The Serge GTS is a complete redesign of the famous Serge Dual Universal Slope Generator (DUSG) by Serge himself - with a new core, optimized for speed and tracking. Like some of the clones it can be used for CV, but also provides exceptional audio performance: transient rise times as fast as 13µs and a maximum cycle speed of 27kHz."
"La presenza forte di @Kodamo al @SOUNDMIT ha davvero aggiunto un tocco speciale, soprattutto considerando che li abbiamo già avuti con noi nelle edizioni passate. Questi ragazzi dalla Francia sono i cervelli dietro al Bit Masking, una nuova forma di sintesi digitale che hanno introdotto per la prima volta nella tastiera Mask1, presentata in anteprima mondiale al Soundmit 2022. E tra le chicche che ci hanno svelato, c'è anche il piano di tirare fuori un synth compatto, probabilmente con una combinazione di FM e Samples!

@Kodamo's strong presence at @SOUNDMIT has truly added a special touch, especially considering we've already had them with us in past editions. These folks from France are the masterminds behind Bit Masking, a new form of digital synthesis they first introduced in the Mask1 keyboard, showcased worldwide for the first time at Soundmit 2022. And among the goodies they've shared, there's also the plan to unveil a compact synth, probably featuring a mix of FM and Samples!
