3/11/24 ElectroComp EML 200 + Lexicon PCM 70 (1.3 Circular Dlys)

video upload by Cfpp0

"The ElectroComp EML 200 master oscillator square wave drives the whole wave shaper section and the switch. Sampler is fed one output of VCO 1. VCO 1 and VCO 2 outputs go to the ring modulator. VCO 2 also goes to VCO 1 CV input. Sampler outputs go to VCO 1 and VCO 2 CV inputs. Wave shaper is set to amplitude, with the ring mod output going to carrier in, and modulation input is first getting a sine wave from the master oscillator (until 1:20), then only the switch output is audible until (at 1:30) I change it to the envelope. The ring mod output also goes to the spring reverb, 100% wet, which goes to the switch. The switch output is dry, but a stereo delay from the Lexicon PCM 70 is applied to the output of the wave shaper, which runs through mixer No. 1 on the 200."

"1977 Moog Model D Minimoog - Classic Analog Mono Synthesizer V5 with Road Case

The 1977 Moog Model D Minimoog is a true gem, embodying the essence of a classic analog mono synthesizer. Encased in a road case for added protection, this vintage beauty from Buffalo NY Moog stands out as an exemplar of analog power, unmatched by modern reissues and plug-in emulations. For aficionados and true synth enthusiasts, the 1970s-era Model Ds hold a revered status as the authentic deal.

Each Model D from this era is a unique masterpiece, radiating its distinctive warmth and character. In our studio, where we had many Model Ds come through our doors, no two sound alike. These vintage treasures deliver a deep, heavy, and punchy bass that is unparalleled, making them a must-have in the arsenal of any electronic music creator. However, their versatility extends beyond electronic genres, offering creative possibilities such as plugging in a guitar to craft tones with vintage filter points that defy the limitations of pedals or amps.

The Model D is a timeless classic that transcends the ages, and this particular Moog holds special significance. It boasts a single owner and has been professionally maintained, recently tuned and calibrated for optimal performance. Notably, this synthesizer features an extended tuning range, highlighted by the three additional ports on the back, showcasing the latest and most stable version of the vintage Minimoog Model D oscillator board available for sale.

While it exhibits minor cosmetic wear, this Model D functions flawlessly and is poised to serve its next owner for many years to come. The sale includes a padded Hybrid road case, offering both protection during travel and secure storage for this exceptional instrument."

Korg DS-8 Sound Demo all 100 presets. Korg’s FM Synthesizer from 1987. Very little talking.

video upload by Ted murena

"in 1987 Korg launched its FM synthesiser to compete with legends, the Yamaha DX7 and the Roland D 50. They absolutely named it. The cord DS8 as a digital synthesiser with eight note polyphony let’s hear what the synth can do using it’s presets. We’ll also cover some of the other features of this keyboard."

Lush FX for Synth & Studios // Echo Fix Spring Reverb & Chorus Vibrato Pedals (EF-P2 & EF-P3)

video upload by DivKid

"Of course these are great plugging guitars straight in (I do a bit of that in the video) but playing with the Echo Fix EF-P2 Spring Reverb & EF-P3 Chorus Vibrato pedals has shown how they really shine on synths, modular and in studio settings.

This is a Pedals & Patches series video where I explore pedal FX with modular gear, synths and in the studio for creative use cases and musical applications. With these we have spring reverb on fifthy synths, on claps for dub style beats, creating ghoulish metallic drones and retro organ stabs. The Chorus Vibrato creates some ridiculous thick synth tones for a bass guitar, adds some tasty wonk to modular synth riffs and gives warm cuddly nostalgia flavour to a guitar. All the examples are in the timing index below, skip around as you like.

Taiga Keyboard - Pittsburgh Modular - Sonic LAB Review

video upload by sonicstate

"The latest release from @pittsburghmodular is a supersize version of their Taiga synthesiser. Based on three wavefolding/complex oscillators with multiple seed waves: Sine, Tri, Saw, Square plus blends they give you the backbone of a powerful synthesizer.
The Taiga Keyboard adds a 3 octave velocity and aftertouch enabled keybed, wooden end cheeks, and a couple of modifications that make it a more tweakable instrument.

First up there’s an OSC fine tune knob for each - a small thing but makes it way quicker to get three oscillators tuned how you like. Also the function generator which is an assignable digital affair with a single CV out has easier to access settings - all linked to the Mod Wheel and buttons - the 5V output, Tri LFO, Decay Envelope and Random (you can choose one at a time) are all set by the depth of the mod wheel, and with shift functions, press and hold the assign button to access clock division (LFO and Random) and decay length (Envelope).

With more room to stroll around the front panel, it makes general operation a lot more intuitive.
The other Big addition, is the inclusion of a 24HP module bay, remove the screws from the plate and there’s power for three modules - we put the Mutable Clouds in ours - just to add more processing to the overall sound, but you can choose whatever you want as long as it's not too deep - Disting requires a couple of spacers under the fixing bolts to fit in the provided depth.

Aside from these additions, there’s no functional difference between this and the Taiga module except cost, with the Taiga Keyboard at $1299/£1150 and the Taiga Module at around $800/£650.

Personally I found he extra size does make more sense of this instrument for performing and working on sounds. We would like to have seen a legato envelope mode, currently every note triggers the envelope, not something you can fix with an extra module, and a couple of the knobs response are quite sensitive - notably envelope release is somewhat on even with a small adjustment at the start of it's travel, ditto FM depth for the oscillators. However this is consistent across both Taiga models.

However, like the original Taiga having the blend of complex West Coast style Oscillators, a multimode filter AND a resonant Low Pass Gate really gives a wide palette of sounds fore the curious synthesist.

If you just want a taste of that there’s also the West Pest from Cre8Audio - which while a much less capable instrument will give you more of a West Coast vibe to explore.
