"00% working and currently has the original preset bank loaded. The membrane switches are all working. Over the years the unit has had a few repairs, including one of the pot muxes and replacement of all of the VCO tuning caps (Believe me, you want this done on any Polaris you find) The headphone out circuit on these is a rather poor design, which causes a good deal of hum. I have disabled this, as I want the cleanest sound I can get from the Hi Z output jack. (The Hi impedance output is the one that sounds the best) All of the keys are working perfectly. One key has a slight wiggle, which is very minor and doesn't affect playing."

"Une vidéo en français comme état des lieux relatif à la matrice que j'ai construite pour les modules du Mos-lab 2500.
I checked the french text generated automatically by youtube and did some corrections, so the english translation is available and not too bad."
"The 285t is a worthy addition to the already impressive classic 200 series by Tiptop Archeology and Buchla. It has two separate sections which can be combined at will. The top section is a frequency shifter with a built in reference VCO/LFO that can go up to 1K and allows modulation and FM. You can use your own reference sound by switching up to EXT but then you'll need to take care of FM and modulation yourself. The section can be used to play with the perceived pitch of any source, tuning it up and down at will. You can also use it (multed) to add an extra layer to a single voice, or to a mix.
The lower section is a classic ring modulator with a dedicated out, and a variable output that's under CV control. Variable mode can morph the effect from off to amplitude modulation (unipolar) to ring modulation (bipolar) which adds metallic effects. Ring modulation works best with sinewave modulators, but you can throw any combo of waveforms at it. It pairs very well with the 'simple' 258 VCO because it has two sinewaves, where the 259 has only one.

"I recorded a whole album using nothing but this dream synthesizer for every single sound. It consists of precomposed, multitracked pieces as well as free improvisations of which this is one. It showcases nicely what fascinated me most working with the Oberheim: The subtle interactions between these eight voices, each one produced by an individual full synthesizer of its own. They are not synced in any way and each has its own tuning, envelope shapes, filter characteristics and all... It's like a human choir, where all the singers give their best to create a uniform sound, yet you can still follow each individual voice with your ears. Hence the name of this improvisation.
Learn more about the album at the link above and feel free to buy a physical CD. :-)"
"Hello! Jason here. Thank you for watching this video :)
This Signature Edition limited re-release of the tràigh low-pass filter module is available for purchase direct from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/18233...
I am producing a limited batch which will be available for purchase while stock lasts.
This revised module was developed as a creative side project over the past month or two as a means of dealing with the unfortunate situation of having a very large pet greyhound with a relatively large diagnosis of cancer. Winston was confirmed to have a stage 2 soft cell sarcoma earlier this year. He underwent a surgery on September 24th during which the tumour was successfully removed. (He has recovered very well and quickly!) Due to the location of the sarcoma there is a high likelihood of cancer cells remaining at a microscopic level. If left unchecked they will likely return as a tumour with a chance of metastasising. Winston began a 4 week treatment of radiotherapy on November 4th. As of writing this we are now past the half way point and he is responding very well with no significant side effects presenting. Each treatment requires full general anaesthetic, so I have a very dopey boy every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the entire month of November. The vets do provide him with some roast chicken each session when he wakes up. So he seems quite happy with his current unusual routine.
"Hazel's back, and for this video we challenged her to replicate a patch using our Super 8, this time recreating the main synth sounds in 'Honey' by CARIBOU.
We think Hazel got this one pretty bang on...
We would love to hear your suggestions on a patch you'd like to throw at Hazel next? Let us know in the comments
"This video is a rundown & demo of my ambient live rig. If you have questions: comment! My DAW baset setup features Ableton & RME UFX, Microphonic Soundbox, Soma Cosmos, 1010 Music Blackbox, Makenoise Morphagene, 4ms SWN, Befaco Oneiroi and Mercury X. I talk you through the setup, how it works, which piece does what and how all is connected and controlled. Hope you enjoy it! I am looking forward to your comments :-)

"This clip showcases one of our favourite modes on DivSkip, our module collaboration with @DivKid, speed ramps for triggers!
DivSkip's channel 1 is set to play a house pattern with a 4/4 kick on Out A, and a snare on the upbeats on Out B. The Kick trigger is going directly @VladimirPantelic ‘s VPME QD quad drum. The snare trigger is duplicated with Multiplikand, and used both as trigger for channel 4 and an 808 snare on Mutable Instruments Peaks.
DivSkip's channel 4 is set to ramp mode. Depending on how the knob is set, the time between two triggers will speed up or slow down. This speed ramp advances an arpeggio played on the @weareelektron8453 Model:Samples in single cycle waveform mode.
Finally, #DivSkip 's channel 2 is playing a noise model on Mutable Instruments Plaits, with the A and B outputs triggering different settings using @vaskiembedded‘s super handy ECS-4 Triggered Switch module.
Enrica mutes and unmutes each channel on the fly with a click of the push potentiometer.
DIY Kits are in stock at @ThonkSynthDIY (UK) and @NightlifeElectronics (CAN - DIY and built), and at @explodingshed5542 (EU)

"Set in a heritage-listed Art Deco former Motor Works and Bus Depot, the SynthTemple complex is an exciting new music facility containing 2 Dolby Atmos studios (Studio 1 – Synth Hall and Studio 2), Solo Room (which doubles as a third studio), Tech Workshop, a spectacular and growing Gear List, including one of the largest working collections of vintage synthesizers in the world.
The versatile studios can be used separately for writing, recording and production, or can be used in a traditional live room+vocal booth+control room format for recording larger scale projects, such as bands and ensembles.
SynthTemple’s size and stunning aesthetic also makes it ideal for live events, livestreams and product launches."
