video upload by RolandChannel

Note the clear Gleeman Pentaphonic. You can find a studio tour of the Vintage Synthesizer Museum here.

"Tiago Lemos, pro street skateboarder and passionate music fan, turns to hip hop as the soundtrack for his skating, with the 808 at the heart of many hip hop classics.

In collaboration with New Balance to commemorate #808DAY in 2024, the Tiago Lemos NM808 x Roland pays homage to the legendary drum machine with a design that intersects music, skateboarding, and street style. We recently caught up with Tiago and renowned DJ and producer Cut Chemist, to talk hip-hop, kick drums and kick flips in a studio that can only be described as a cavern of sonic treasures."

OAM Time Machine - First Look

video upload by John Schussler

"I have an addiction to delays. I have many, many delays.

But the OAM Time Machine is different, and very, very good. It's big, but
that's what happens when you add a lot of sliders to something. I'd actually
be ok with it being even bigger, if they'd add cv control over each slider/time division.

But even without that it's pretty much the bee's knees.

The basic input is a very sparse random pattern (quantized) from a Clank Chaos.
Source VCO is a Noise Engineering Sinc Legio. Wee bit of reverb on the
final output, but not much.

So very, very nice."

Behringer Teases PolyOSC - A Polyphonic OSCar

via Behringer

"Once upon a time, the OSCar synthesizer was born—a groundbreaking instrument crafted by the Oxford Synthesiser Company between 1983 and 1985. Ahead of its time in many ways, the OSCar was one of the few mono-synths of its era to feature MIDI, making it a sought-after tool for musicians. With only around 2,000 units produced, it became a cult classic known for its distinctive sound and innovative design.

Fast forward to today, and we’ve taken inspiration from this iconic synth to develop the POLYOsc prototype. This modern version builds on the legacy of the OSCar, incorporating many additional features while staying true to the original’s spirit. However, whether the POLYOsc will move from prototype to production is still undecided. That’s where you come in. We’re looking to the community for feedback to help us determine if the POLYOsc should become a reality. Your thoughts and input are essential in guiding this decision, and we invite you to share your opinions with us. Let’s continue the OSCar’s legacy together."
