"This Frostwave spaceBEAM synthesizer is a unique and innovative piece of musical equipment made in Australia. It features an infra-red theremin, as well as CV and Gate inputs for added versatility. The desktop design makes it easy to integrate into any setup, while the single pedal input allows for hands-free control.
In great working condition but has some light paint chipping which is depicted in the photos. Power supply and original manual included."
"This VERY RARE Sid Station MOS 6581 Synth by Elektron is a unique synthesizer with a rich history. The device was originally designed as a tribute to the sound chip of the Commodore 64, the MOS 6581 SID. It has since evolved into a powerful stand-alone synthesizer with a distinct sound. Unit is in near-mint cosmetic condition and I’ve pointed out any scratches in the photos. Sounds and works perfectly.
Featuring a variety of functions and controls, this synthesizer is perfect for musicians and producers looking to create authentic vintage C64 sounds. Whether you're using it in a studio or live performance setting, the Sid Station MOS 6581 Synthesis by Elektron is as authentic as it gets.
The sound of SidStation is, of course, very similar to that of the original Commodore 64. The SID chip is well known for being noisy. By design, the oscillators never stop outputting signal—even while not in use. It's this flaw, however, that is part of the character and sound of the SID chip. Tuning stability on this unit’s particular chip is the best I’ve ever heard.
The SidStation is capable of producing all the waveforms of the C64, Triangle, Saw, Pulse, Mix (which is a mix between Saw and Pulse) and variable Noise. Besides this is the synth, a 4-part LFO-modulation system which can be used with Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and various combinations of these filters (including a Notchfilter). All of these are controllable by the four knobs on top of the SidStation."
"This 1979 Moog Prodigy is in excellent condition both physically and functionally. There are only 2 small cosmetic damages (seen on back right corner and back left wood panel). Other than that, everything else looks amazing. Comes with an added external control section for CV/Gate interfacing as well as a custom dust cover."
"I time-traveled back to the early 60s along with the AlfaVox System A1905 synth on hand. It was an interesting trip, bumped into Brian Wilson who gave me a couple of production tips, and came back with this session. Although the AlfaVox was holding a peace sign ☮️, and wearing flowers around🤔
Now on the serious note, I recorded this track in multiple long takes (no edits), improvising with the patches and knobs, and combining it with my 'secret sauce' sequencer. Most sounds are from the AlfaVox, plus a Theremin with only light reverberation on the master track👌🏽
Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V is the reincarnation of the legendary PPG Wave Synthesizer, which no doubt is considered one of the most respected high-end synthesizers of the 80s. Developed by Wolfgang Palm, this instrument is featured on countless records, and it inspired a whole generation of producers, composers and listeners. While back then it was your choice to spent your money either for a vehicle or the PPG, the new PPG Wave 3.V renders this breathtaking sonic character very affordable, comfortably to use for every VST or AU Host.
Up to 256 voices per instance (depending on available CPU power)
8 part Multimode
8 Stereo Outputs
Host automation of most parameters
MIDI Controller automation of most parameters
More than 100 new Wavetables created by Wolfgang Palm

Wait for it... (or if you can't, jump to 7:30 and wait 10 seconds).
"I returned for my 4th trip to Navaho Pass up the Stafford Creek Trail. The Teanaway area is a lovely section of the Washington Cascades. Views of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness and The Stuart Range including mighty Mt Stuart (9,515')."
With the M+ set to 210bpm and a Middle Eastern scale I varied notes and arps to quarter, eighth, and sixteeneth notes to vary the cadence. You can see the BPM is set to 210 in my display.
Overall it's pretty fast, but not blinding speed since that wouldn't make sense with traditional instruments. :-P"
"I'm working on a video about these neat Lep Lumanoise devices, but while I was getting to know them, I ended up with this small set-up that I was finding quite inspiring, so I thought I would record a short performance.
The percussive element is the Lep Monocassa, and I'm routing its internal trigger through a delay to get additional rhythms when required. The drones are the Lep Lumanoise v4 and the Crows Elecromusic Ovum. The Lep Lumamix is bringing everything together, gluing and smooshing the signals in a way that makes each instrument feel interactive with the others as they dance and fight for dominance at the edge of distortion. The Magpie Pedals Wet is on the send of the Lumamix and is vibrating, clanging and resonating along with the other signals - it really is glorious in this setup.
I'll be speaking more about most of the things on the desk soon, but for this one, I'll shut up and let them do the talking.
"With this 500 series stereo channelstrip, featuring the WesAudio Rhea tube compressor, I’ve got a great sounding chain for recording my modular synth, needing no additional plugins to finalize the sound.
The Hermod+ is sequencing modules by Vostok, with a zlosynth Kaseta adding tape saturation/delay on one of the voices. Then into the Weston Audio mixer, Strymon Starlab adding reverb, and the right output channel goes through the Echo Fix EF-X3 before it hits the 500 series chain."
Kaseta is a multi-purpose module inspired by reel-to-reel tape machines. It simulates magnetic hysteresis to provide warm saturation, its four independent delay lines can be used to sculpt rhythms or feedback loops, and it offers wow and flutter control. The module also goes beyond typical tape machine features, with free-moving delays, trigger sequencing, and an internal oscillator.
While the module works perfectly well as a regular delay, its flexible interface can also be wired up to provide a variety of effects, sounds or CV sources. The following list summarizes its main features. To learn more, see the User Manual.
Aluminium panel with high-quality anodized finish
