"Thomas Organ Monticello 371 MOOG Preset Synthesizer Service Manual Pedal Guides. Lot includes owner's manual for Thomas organ model Monticello 371 with MOOG preset synthesizer, informational brochure/ spec sheet, tuning and set up instructions, original owner's warranty card dated 1975, and pedal guide sticker sheet. The stickers, manual, and specification sheet all have staining/discoloration in places. Center pages of the manual have been taped back in, and there is wear along the edges and spine of the book as well. The setup instruction packets have writing on several of the pages."
"HALT!! 🚨🚨🚨 THERE’S AN ERROR IN THE FILTER SCHEMATIC! The 10K resistor after the dual pot should be connected to the wiper of the pot! I’ve updated the schematic in the dropbox folder, please use it instead of the one in the video! Why can i never not mess up the schematics in these videos 😭😭😭
I built my own version of Jan Östman's solina string synth. It's a 4 voice polyphonic MIDI controlled arduino nano synth and a simple 12dB analog low pass filter. It's great for pads and weirder digital sounds, perfect for lofi music.
"My 76th original eurorack modular synth DIY projects.
Arduino UNO R4 based digital VCO , it has Hard/Soft SYNC function.
Since the SYNC frequency is controlled by CV, SYNC sound can be created with fewer modules.
"Using a Make Noise 0-CTRL to sequence/modulate channel 2 (Dual) on the Landscape Noon.
This is a patch for 1 voice on the Landscape Noon. Some other voices might be influencing the sound due to how the Noon works but no CV/Gates are going to the other channels except through the mod inputs (which go to all channels)."
"A simple sound demo of the Erica Synths Syntrx analog synthesizer.
I used 2 similar patches, the first mono, then a stereo patch.
The midi sequence is from a Sequential Take 5.
No external effects, all sounds from the Syntrx
"A friend of mine was very generous and loaned me his Black Corporation ISE-NIN so that I could compare it with my Roland System 8.
My main thoughts: they’re almost identical. The small differences felt extremely nitpicky. The ARP on the ISE-NIN is much nicer, with a longer gate time, and it just sounded richer? Hard to describe, but you can hear it in the video.
Honestly, this is a horrific comparison video, I freely admit it, but I felt pressed for time and didn’t want to spend too much time on it. So if you’re wondering why this is so crude, well, just don’t let perfect get in the way of awful, that’s all I have to say.
I talk towards the end about what my thoughts are - but really, the video was made just so you could hear the differences, not because I think you should buy either one.
Truth be told, I think the Prophet 5/10 is a better synth than the Jupiter 8 (or System 8, ISE-NIN). Different flavors perhaps. I think it’s reasonable to say that the System 8 and ISE-NIN are great alternatives to the Jupiter 8. If I could grab a Jupiter 8 for under $10K, I probably would, but I also think, based on the sounds out of these synths, I actually don’t think I would necessarily love it.
I’m impressed with the System 8, being completely digital, and seemingly able to compete with more accurate representations of the Jupiter 8. I also worry part of the differences could have been chalked up to my lack of skill, so you must take what I’m saying with a grain of salt.
Sequential Circuits Prophet VS – All the Best Sounds
Here's a very cool keyboard from Sequential. Notice the joystick for controlling your sound modeling.
The Prophet VS uses Vector Synthesis as its revolutionary new means of sound creation. It uses a total of four oscillators per voice with 127 waveforms (32 user) and dynamic waveform crossfading via the joystick. This was Sequential's first digital synth, and it was also their final synth unfortunately. But after Sequential was gone, Vector Synthesis technology went into the popular Korg Wavestation and Yamaha's SY-22 and TG-33.
The Prophet VS is still a very sought after instrument because it has an incredible range of sounds! Its only problem is that there's practically nobody left that can fix it if something went wrong. It is used by Brian Eno, Trent Reznor, Apollo 440, Depeche Mode, Vince Clarke, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Erasure and filmmaker/composer John Carpenter."
