"UNIT IS FOR SALE HERE: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305722769747

quick demo of the Dynacord VRS 23 "Vertical Reverberation System", an analog BBD delay and unique stereo reverb. As a bucket brigade device delay, the VRS23 is among the best sounding ever produced (listen to those very long yet defined repetitions).
But what makes it truly unique is the reverb mode, which is a true stereo reverb (circuitry is double inside the unit to produce the reverb mode).
I used a Roland SH-101 as a source but the unit sounds great on any material you can provide."

HWJ Fest 3 2024 - SynthAddict's set

video upload by SynthAddict

"Eurocrack modular mix and KeyStep Pro

Finally got my set together for HWJ Fest 3 2024, playing with many other sets this weekend, starting on Fri 8/9 .

It's a big modular thing with a few parts - some of it is manually synced and triggered/played live so there are many live glitches and errors. Enjoy..."

ARP + SNL: A Piece of History Revisted

"ARP + SNL: A piece of history revisted via an upcoming, much anticipated film and our ARP Pro Soloist! From d’ARP

This has been a secret that I’ve been waiting to release, and now it’s here! Back in February I received an email from a representative from SONY Pictures asking if I knew where they could rent an ARP Pro Soloist for their upcoming film Saturday Night due to be released soon. The movie, originally called SNL 1975, is about the first Saturday Night Live episode, and how it all came together. They wanted an authentic instrument to use when they depicted the late, great Billy Preston playing none other than the ARP Pro Soloist and singing 'Nothing from Nothing'.

First, how cool is that? The first musical act on SNL featured an ARP and amazing ARP artist upfront and center!

Second, yes, we had a wonderful ARP Pro Soloist coming to us from California. It was being tuned-up by the amazingly talented Alsún Ní Chasaide of SyntheticDreamscapes after a heavy-duty stint at NAMM during which people such as Stevie Wonder, Lamar Michell, Patrick Moraz and Dave Kerner gave it a spin!

After some finagling, we had it sent to Georgia where the filming took place and to my astonishment, this particular instrument was about to gain even MORE infamy… none other than the Grammy Award winning Jon Batiste was portraying Billy Preston! Talk about one instrument taking on powerful vibes!

The film is scheduled for a premier on Oct 11. We can’t wait!!! Meanwhile, our second favorite Pro Soloist (our first is my dad’s, of course) will be out in the public again in the next year. We believe the magic that musicians bring to the instruments is contagious, so catch the vibe and stay tuned! Read about the film on Vanity Fair, and check out the trailer below (ARP shows about 1:17 / 2:17) and the original video of Billy Preston on Vimeo."

"This vintage synth was fully overhauled and serviced by my synth repair shop “Synth Tailor Electronics” here in the wonderful city of Columbus, Ohio.

Restoration/Overhaul details:

-All lilac/Matshusita electrolytic capacitors changed (over 100-these are known for leaking the electrolyte from the bottom side)

-Power Supply Rebuilt

-Entire synth disassembled and cleaned with ultrasonic cleaner. Keys polished and contacts cleaned.

-Corroded components/Op Amps replaced with NOS components

-Jacks+Switches+Sliders rebuilt and ran through ultrasonic cleaner.

-Full Calibration and Tuning

This synth has a few scratches and knicks, but not that bad. The worst is on the Left Hand controller section, something was dropped by the Pitch slider and has a small crack. It doesn’t affect the slider or functionality-it’s just a minor cosmetic blemish."
