Elektron Monomachine soundscape - Slumbering sorrow

video upload by MIDERA

"Wow - I had no idea how bad the dust would look under the light… but it certainly looks bad. Well, guess it needs to be cleaned!

The Monomachine seems like an unlikely synth to use for an ambient soundtrack, but honestly, it sounds great.

I did try to load different sounds to use and switch between them, but the synth couldn’t handle that without strange glitching behavior (it can’t load different sounds fast enough using polyphonic voices).

Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb."

"This is certainly a milestone release for the DiN label as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. Needless to say, this is quite an achievement for a niche, independent label that has relentlessly ploughed its own path for quarter of a century. Its catalogue and release schedule has been carefully curated over all these years by label boss Ian Boddy, who launched the imprint way back in the spring of 1999. It is perhaps a reflection of his own musical identity which, whilst grounded in the Berlin School of the 1970s, has continued to evolve and grow to cover ever widening areas of electronic music, where sub-genres can be mixed and matched at will.

There have been plenty of compilation albums released on the DiN label in the past, most notably the iNDEX sampler albums, of which there have been eight to date. These cover tracks from existing albums and are certainly a great showcase for the label. However, this double album is different, in that Boddy invited the majority of the musicians who have previously been released on the main DiN catalogue to compose new pieces. Spread across two discs, this amounts to 142 minutes of sublime, varied and thoroughly original music. Ranging from beautifully ambient to dark brooding soundscapes, via cinematic electronica through to old school Berlin School sequencer workouts, “25 Years of DiN” is a wonderful distillation of the DiN label.

Presented in a stunning six panel fold out Digipak double CD package with 8-page booklet featuring an essay by Neil Mason (Moonbuilding), this release is a must-have for collectors of the DiN labels output.

LOOPER and SYNTH // How Good Can It Be?

video upload by Woody Piano Shack

"BOSS RC-202 DESKTOP LOOPER combined with ARTURIA ASTROLAB emulations of ROLAND JUNO-6 is a fun combination indeed!
First steps with live looping with a synth, just using one track of the looper pedal today and the built-in cheezy drums that serve as a metronome.

ARP Omni-2 with Aftertouch + S&H Mod

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by New England Analog Archives

Note this demo is from 7 years ago.

"This video features an ARP Omni 2 synthesizer that has been modified with a custom LFO expander daughterboard. The PCB comes assembled and measures 2.7 x 3.2 cm.
This upgrade is simple to install, and it provides the LFO with 2 additional waveforms. A 3-position toggle switch controls the waveform selection. An adhesive-backed overlay decal is provided with the kit. The switch will allow sine, square, and random LFO waveforms to be selected. Kit includes instructions for expanding the range of Omni 2 VCF so that it can self-oscillate. This modification greatly expands the sonic possibilities of the ARP Omni. This kit will work on ARP Omni 1 as well. It can also be used to add an auxiliary sample and hold waveform to ARP Axxe, Odyssey, and Quadra LFOs."

via this listing

"The unit has been well maintained and has had the following work/mods done:

Replaced the noisy ARP power supply with a Power One linear supply

Unit was completely recapped in 2015.

All analog ICs and digital ICs were replaced

All sliders removed and restored. All now move smoothly.

Slider caps replaced with new ones.

Pratt Read keyboard bushings replaced in 2015.

Aftertouch added to the keyboard.

Aftertouch amount is routed to the ACC/PEDAL slider. The aftertouch affects the VCF cutoff. Additional waveforms added to the LFO. Originally only had sine LFO. Added square and sample & hold LFO. Sample & hold is the same circuit as ARP Odyssey MK1 S&H. Sounds great. 4075 VCF module recapped and had the cutoff frequency design error corrected. (Originally there was a design error, keeping the cutoff from fully opening up)

The finish on this Omni is not pristine. When I got it, it had been neglected for years after being in storage. Cosmetically, this is a 6/10 as there is evidence of lots of use on the powder coating.

I've attached a video deomonstrating the LFO mod I did to this Omni. The unit in the video is actually this Omni, but I have since removed the LED sliders, since I thought they were annoying."

"Often when starting to explore the sonic possibilities of an instrument sooner or later a picture comes to mind that fits the sounds I’m designing.

This time I was transported to the sea, with tiny sea creatures helping to create the sounds you’re hearing. Do you also see images when you’re creating or exploring sounds?

Thanks for sticking with me!"
