"Sylphyo (PhysMod) wind controller and RC-505

very rough, one pass due to time constraints :-)

at least one sound here is a bit like an alarm sound, YMMV"

the best Dual Novation Circuit jam you'll hear today?

"It's such a specific description that it'll almost certainly be correct by default. A portion of a new iteration of my techno live set with the Novation Circuit Rhythm and Tracks."

A love letter to the ASM Hydrasynth (that also explains it)

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Here's a demo video of the ASM Hydrasynth - 5 years old and going strong. I'll cover why I think it's been a long lasting design: The engine, interface/shortcut tricks, randomness, expression, the differences between the models and more. For those of you who own one, what are your tips/tricks/favourite features?"

Soniccouture Releases Tonal Drums: The First Ever Tunable Drum VI

video upload by Soniccouture

Press release follows:

Soniccouture Releases Tonal Drums: The First Ever Tunable Acoustic Drum Kit VI

Built on the acclaimed Sun Drums engine, Tonal Drums combines all the velocity layers and articulations with unmatched control over tuning, expression and tone.

In recent years, drum tuning has undergone a renaissance. Devices like TuneBot and apps like iDrumTunePro have given drummers more precision and insight when tuning their drums. Youtube is filled with videos relating to drum tuning, and this has helped demystify it. And while it is certainly true that you do not need to tune your drums to notes to fit the key of your track, many people feel that doing this can give an extra musical edge to a production.

Thus, the idea to sample a full drum kit at multiple different tunings was born. Soniccouture Tonal Drums does exactly that - the result a painstaking recording session where each piece of the kit was carefully tuned to a note, sampled in detail with plenty of articulations + velocity layers, then retuned to the next note and the process repeated. Recorded at Rockfield Studios UK.

Retroaktiv MPG7 Review & Demo // Why you'll want an MSK-7

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Retroaktiv have done it again, this time with a SuperQuartet/MPG-7 programmer that can also be used with your 106, or as a MIDI controller for whatever really... MIDI CC assigning means you can use it with pretty much anything.

It comes with all the usuals Retroaktiv extras, like patch saving (10 banks in here) plus setup saving... which saves patches independently of the stored patches.. so all-in-all you can save thousands!

Its got the amazing patch generator.. you can set it to generate pads, basses, pianos, strings, FX etc and control what parameters are used.

There's also assign slots to control up to 3 parameters at a time with either MIDI CC or aftertouch.

This massively opens up the MPG-7 - if you've got one you'll want one of these."

Vintage ARP 2600 w. 3620 Duophonic Keyboard SN 0926 w/ Jean-Michel Jarre History?

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this listing

According to the listing:

"Vintage ARP 2600 w. 3620 Duophonic keyboard very good condition.

I sell my ARP 2600 with its 3620 duophonic keyboard. I used it in Jean-Michel Jarre's studio when I worked with him, but only in his studio and mine. I'm running out of space to keep it.

Not only is it in excellent external condition, as can be seen from the photos, but it has also been fully tested and is perfectly operational.

All sliders, including those of the keyboard, have been replaced by original new ones, with the original caps (no one missing). The keyboard contacts have been cleaned. The original tolex was left untouched as it is still in good condition.

White pencil setting marks can be seen on the photos. They have since been removed.

The serial numbers of the instrument and keyboard are identical, since both were purchased at the same time.

I'm supplying by separate shipment 24 patch cords, the power cord, the original 2600 and 3620 user manuals, plus a collection of original blank patches.

The nameplate indicates a 110 V power supply, but the instrument was set to 220 V at the time of purchase, in accordance with the instructions in the Service Manual. It has been used this way since the beginning. It's easy to switch back to 110 V if required."
