"The classic Korg Monologue, but sans keyboard. I did not do the mod myself, but it’s pretty well done. At a distance of a few feet, it looks like it came this way from the factory. If you look at it very closely, it looks slightly uneven in a few places, mainly just the corners (see pics). There are also a couple of small dings on the faceplate."

Arturia MiniFreak - Classic Sounds [SOUNDSET] • Custom Presets

video upload by Mr. Card

"My private collection of classic sounds dedicated to Arturia MiniFreak. I’ve always loved classic sounds like Oberheim OB-Xa, Roland Juno 60, Roland Juno 106, Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet One or Sequential Prophet 5. I decided to recreate them with one of my favorite synthesizers. I love Arturia MiniFreak for its versatility and sound. With this soundset, you can take your instrument to the next level. The presets are fully compatible with the Arturia MiniFreak V virtual instrument. Check out my soundset: https://bit.ly/minifreak-classic 🎵"

3rd Wave // Keyboard vs Desktop

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave Desktop and Keyboard versions are pretty much identical... but so many have asked what the differences are, snd why I bought the desktop.. and have now gone for the keyboard version... I thought I'd put this little explanation together.

The big differences are price, size, keys and paint job.. the interface is very similar and I don't feel like there's more menu diving on the desktop. If you need to use the menus then its the same on both."

Ensoniq ESQ-1 soundscape II - Moonwatchers

video upload by MIDERA

"I still can't get over how good that Kawai SX-240 was... that filter sounded so good. I keep looking through my library of synths and wonder 'can this one get there?' And the answer here was: no. The ESQ has very 'steppy' behavior in the LFOs and envelopes, not very smooth. It does its own thing (well, I might add). It's different. It's good. It's unique. I do enjoy it.

This was one of the hardest videos to make - I was so tired working on it that I almost fell asleep writing it and trying to sync up the video to the audio! I thought it was all correct and I uploaded it and the audio was still not synced up properly! Went back and had to do it again. Sigh... Well, I think it's ok now.

Oct Tone | by the Glasgow Synth Guild

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I had a short moment of confusion when the Oct Tone was presented to a wide audience. I knew the Octone from Qu-Bit, but nobody shared a bit of how this came to be, except that it was a Jason Lim design. It's obvious the new Oct Tone also comes from the people behind Instruo and I learned that the Glasgow Synth Guild is an entity that manufactures modules/hardware. So Instruo is now a GSG client which makes a lot of sense in the volatile economy of the roaring 20's. I think it's excellent risk management, but I am also aware I am speculating. Anyway, the Oct Tone is a Jason Lim redesign of the module he designed when he still was a Qu-Bit co-founder. So it all makes perfect sense if you unravel the whole story. Still, I took the creative liberty to call it a 'shadow module'. It kind of sounds cool, no drama intended.

It also explains why it's not a regular Instruo module, considering it does not fit Instruo's company vision of making state-of-the-art originals. It's also rumoured Jason prefers all kind of CV running through quantizers while avoiding the use of sequencers. So my final speculation is that the Oct Tone may be the only sequencer you'd get with an Instruo look and feel. I love it.

The Oct Tone is exclusively available from the UK, so beware of shipping and Brexit tax. But if you're an Instruo fan, it's a must have module."

Chord Trigger for Korg Polysix and Poly61

video upload by Florian Anwander

"An add-on pcb expands the Korg Polysix and Korg Poly61. An external analogue trigger-signal triggers the actually played chords.
The pcb is available at https://www.florian-anwander.de/korg_..."

The chord trigger was featured on the site back in 2015 here.

Update: The video above appears to be the same Vimeo video in the prior post, just uploaded to YouTube. Leaving this post up for anyone that may be interested.

Crumar BIT DCO clone with added functionality

video upload by Craig Barnes

"This dual DCO is based on the counter/resistor ladder technique used in the Crumar Bit series of polyphonic synthesizers, the 8253c triple counter has been replaced by a Waveshare Zero RP2040 based SOC. This allows the Waveshare to receive MIDI and calculate portamento etc. The only thing I want to add is an interval for DCO2 to set things like 5ths up in the DCO pair. Each DCO currently has 4 waveforms, Saw, PWM, Triangle and SUB. Although I might reduce that down by removing a triangle and SUB from either side. It was designed as a DCO core for a monosynth or a poly depending on needs."
