"The German-made Hartmann Neuron is a polyphonic synthesizer that broke new ground using a new form of synthesis and sound-modeling they say was based on technology found in neural networks. What the Neuron actually does is it analyzes audio files (samples) and creates digital computer models of these sounds which can then be re-synthesized and processed using the extensive amount of on-board data-wheels and joysticks with control of more 'musical' sonic aspects such as instrument shape, size and acoustic behavior. The joysticks allow for real-time tweaking of up to three parameters at once - 3D modeling in a true 5.1 surround sound environment."
"The synth was brought back to 100% operating condition. The only issue at the
time and which still exists is a couple of segments of the display not
illuminating, however it is still fully legible."
"Fully functional and excellent sounding 1980s Sequential Circuits Prelude synthesizer. I have used this synth on many records and it has some great sounds. Surprisingly versatile with the built in equalizer and the ability to play multiple patches at once by pressing the different patch selection buttons at the same time.
A few switch caps missing but in otherwise good condition."
"This is the new addition to my dawless setup, I really needed a 303 to make some acid basslines. VSTs out there didn't satisfy my taste, once I tried this with my hands I fell in love!"

One of my favorite tracks from the german group Rammstein
'Ich Will' from the album 'Mutter' (2001)
produced by Rammstein
Featured the E-MU Emax (1986) Sampling Synthesizer (1986)
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."
30 modular systems in a multi-instrument and sequence designer
Quadra Modular is a powerful 4-part multi-instrument and sequence designer, ideal for the creation of dynamic, rhythmic, and evolving sequences utilizing an incredible selection of patches created on a wide range of modular synthesizers, from vintage to modern, stand-alone to fully customized and purpose-built systems. We approached recording these beasts as if they were acoustic instruments, creating discrete velocity layers and round-robins in order to capture their organic soul.
Quadra is a versatile instrument, capable of a wide range of sounds and uses from standard fare instrumentation to evolving, complex, and adaptive progressions and harmonizations that can be morphed and performed in numerous ways to suit the needs of your production. With a masterful selection of hundreds of professionally designed presets, Quadra offers incredible sound quality and near endless inspiration on-demand.
Quadra leverages a powerful instrument selection, deep factory library, focused and intuitive workflow, and expressive performance controls to deliver cinematic sound quality and near endless musical inspiration.
Curated Instrument Selection Quadra provides 4 robust instrument layers that can be used together to create striking and evocative performances. Each layer can be assigned from a selection of 30 multi-sampled sources including massive stand-alone systems like the Colossus, to popular small format systems like eurorack.
At the heart of each of Quadra's instrument layers is a powerful, multimode 64-step sequencer with MIDI effects, allowing you to quickly add rhythmic grooves, create arpeggiator sequences, add harmonies, and even quantize the incoming notes to specific scales. Choose a global rate, gate length, and max velocity, then customize your sequence with per-step velocity, link, harmonization, pitch offset, octave offset, gate, step repeat and panning. Save your patterns to disk as presets to share, or use the handy "copy-to" button to quickly duplicate your finished sequence from one layer to another.
Quadra includes a number of MIDI effect modules that allow you to embellish and augment your sequences in creative ways, including Euclidean Emphasis which adds rhythmic accents, MIDI Delay, Random, and Pitch Drift which enrich your sequence, and a scale quantizer that allows you to snap all notes to a scale of your choosing. You can even drag-and-drop the modified sequences as MIDI into a track of your DAW.
The Instruō dàil is a high resolution quantiser, precision adder, MIDI-to-CV interface, and USB MIDI Host with a very small form factor suitable for any system.
As a quantiser, scales can be defined locally as well as externally via MIDI. The USB Host port will accept and power class compliant devices offering convenience and immediacy to melodies and sequences.
As a precision adder, existing signals can be offset by any defined chromatic interval. Transpose anything with accuracy using the calibrated buffered throughput which runs parallel to the quantiser engine. This feature alone makes for a great companion to any sequencer or 1V/octave source within a system.
No longer is a single repeating octave of quantised notes a limitation. dàil features a fully bipolar quantiser engine through which any multi-octave spanning scale/chord/arpeggio can be engaged immediately from your MIDI keyboard. Patterns can also be programmed onboard with precision with the ability to auto fill from a wide range of major and minor starting points.
Small form factor, big feature set!
dàil will suit any scale of system adding flexibility and immediacy to your melodic needs.
Supamix is a compact Eurorack mixer designed to fuel your sonic adventures. This versatile module as 6 channels and a unique mute automation engine into 10HP, making it perfect for live performances, space-conscious setups, and creative mixing.
Mix with Precision and Expression: Dedicated Pan Controls: Craft your stereo image with 2 individual pan knobs for manual placement.
Dynamic Panning: 2 CV-controlled pan inputs let you add movement and dynamism to your sources.
Seamless Integration: Stereo inputs with dedicated gain allow effortless connection of stereo modules.
Dedicated Mute Buttons: Take instant control with individual mute buttons, featuring a freeze function for sustained muting when using the swap engine.
Automate Your Mutes with Creativity: Supamix feature a unique swap engine made to control the mutes states manually or via cv to Build Evolving Patches. 12 modes of for controlling your mutes are available:
1A: Trigg Invert: Instantly flip mute states with a trigger.
1B: Gate Invert: momentary flip mute states with a gate.
2A: Turn Off: Momentarily silence all channels with a gate
2B: Wave On: Progressively unmute channels as a CV rises.
3A: Binary Counter: trigger to increment a 6-bit binary sequence, turning mutes on/off.
3B: CV to Binary: Transform a CV signal into a 6-bit binary pattern, precisely controlling the state of each mute based on the CV value.
4A: Trig Rotate: Shift mute positions with a trigger. each trig shift the mute position one step further.
4B: CV Rotate: Shift mute positions with CV control. at 0V the mute are in their original position, at 5v mute will be shifted 6 position forward.
5A: Trig Sequencer: Control a step sequencer who invert the mute state where the playhead is. each trig will move the playhead one step further
5B: CV Sequencer: Control a step sequencer who invert the mute state where the playhead is. at 0v, the playhead is on the first mute, at 5 V on the 6th
6A: Randomize: Shake things up with a trigger that scrambles all mute states.
6B: Random solo:each trig will turn off all the mute exept one selected randomly Beyond the Modes: Freeze & Override: if you long press one off the mute, it will be freezed on bypassing the swap function on this track
Module Expansion: Connect Supamix to the "O" line/phone output module for additional functionality (sold separately). More Than Just Mixing:
Subtle Saturation: Crank the level pots for a hint of distortion to add bite to your sound.
