This one was sent my way via Dan Austin who had the following to say:

"Nahre Sol is a YouTuber that posts classical piano based themes. However she often explores other types of music and usually tries to fuse those into something she's doing.

This video is her using a Novation Circuit Rhythm sampler along with her piano and found sounds. I just really like the video."

You can find an overview video of the RMP 40 branded version posted here.

"This is a very desirable VINTAGE, FULLY FUNCTIONAL classic drum machine from the 1980's (released in 1986), the SIEL MDP-40...also known under other brands as the SUZUKI RPM-40 and the KEYTEK MDR-40. It was made in Italy, and features 10 pads for 13 PCM sounds, 3 of which are accessible by external MIDI only. This machine comes with original power supply and owners manual. The unit itself is a desktop model, has LED display, is lightweight (only 1 kg), will also operate on 6 x AA batteries, and has 3 MIDI ports. Audio output is via 1/4" phone jack, mono out. I hate to let this go, but I haven't taken the time to experiment with it in recent years as I had hoped to do, so I'm passing it on. I envision it to be very useful in live performance situations as a trigger machine MIDI'd to a more modern drum machine with tight, up-to-date drum/percussion sounds."

P.S. Moby owned one.

video upload by sonicstate

"Caroline from MyVolts introduced the Alchemist Power Distribution Hub (launching on Kickstarter today), highlighting its progression from prototype to production. This hub, designed with musicians in mind, offers five isolated outputs with up to 20 watts each, plus an additional output providing 100 watts, also capable of powering devices like a MacBook.

Kickstarter: https://bit.ly/myvolts-sb24

Alchemist can power various items, such as an Elektron Analog 4, Korg devices, and modular rigs from Intellijel, Pittsburgh and others with different voltage outputs through USB-C cables using the range of Step-Up tips including a new 15v converter.

The hub canb be powered by powerbanks an traditional power bricks, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of power sources. Caroline emphasized the hub's isolation feature, eliminating grounding issues common with other USB power supplies. There is also a non-isolated version available.

Additionally, Caroline showcased the evolution of their original *Crazy Chain*, now featuring a polarity indicator and a robust design capable of handling up to 100 watts.

The Kickstarter launch for the Alchemist gives early bird backers the opportunity to receive a free basic Alchemist unit (non isolated).

Madrona Labs Sumu: Resynthesis (Done Right), Sample Mangling & Spatialization in One Cool New Synth

video upload by Keith Crosley

"Sumu is now in early access! Let's take a look at the new VST synth from Madrona Labs, Sumu. Sumu combines sample resynthesis, partial f**kery, FM, and spatialization to create sounds that are quite unique. We also explore Vutu, the companion app for Sumu, that allows us to process, analyze, and import samples with the amazing "Loris" resynthesis technology. The announcement about this synth got a little buried in all of the noise surrounding Superbooth 2024... so let's take a closer look and listen...

Also, I promise a look at some new wavetables in KRC Mathwaves, but never get around to it. Maybe next time, pard! (But go buy KRC Mathwaves, anyway.)

Grab your partial analyzer and get ready for resynthesis-a-go-go! Along the way, we even use a KRC Mathwaves wavetable to spin a freaking room around. That's new and different...

"Made in Japan Liwaco LW-610 mini keyboard synth 80s.

Instrument de Musique Electronique!

I guess Liwaco is a French electronic gadgets/toy company, and they had comissioned Casio to do their own brand models, equal to original Casios but with different colour schemes and of course printed in French!!

This is the good old Casio VL-1 VL-TONE , only sexier (than it already is ) with the futuristic bordeaux colour and with French words spread all over :)

MINT MINT MINT!

No issues, works excellent, all OK.

Comes in original box and the users manual booklet (of course in French)"
