How To Loop All The Gear In A Studio: Sequencers/Mixers/Synths
video upload by MR TUNA Music
"Hello my friends this video has been a very long time coming. Its been years since I have done an updated studio tour and rundown so I figured today was a good day to catch up!
The reason it's taken so long to do something like this is because I've always been so overwhelmed at the idea of doing it right........ So instead of making a big production out of things we're going to keep it cool and casual and just see what catches out attention as we go. Thats the only way this is ever getting done!
The most important part of my studio is the @ElectricSquad@squarpinstruments Hapax sequencer. The Hapax is connected to every single piece of midi-equipped gear in the studio via 5-pin din or usb and is what allows me to loop everything in sync with each other.
When I play the keybed or change the controls on a synth, I'm not directly playing the gear so much as I'm playing it through the Hapax. With local controls turned off on the synth, all of the notes and midi information is sent OUT to the Hapax and does not trigger the synth in question (yet). After it gets to the Hapax it is run through any enabled MIDI effects and (if recording is armed) is recorded into the loop before it is sent instantaneously back to the synth in real time in a way you cant even tell that its happening. This way you can enable effects like arps and harmonizers on synths that dont have them.
All the audio from every synth and drum machine is sent to the tower of 3 Roland MX-1s. the MX-1s send MIDI sync and power through usb to some AIRA-link enabled pieces of gear and simplifies some cabling that way, and every track can be sent to Logic and recorded individually as its own instrument when combined as an aggregate audio device on my macbook."

Music equipment concepts Tensile tile quick exploration
video upload by Meska (Meska)
"Here a quick exploration of tensile tils by music equipment concepts, this is a realy obscure 1U multifunction moduls, the official website is offline.
If you have any info, Manual, OS, please contact me.
It's more an exploration than a demo since i have no manual and can skip importante things.
Thank you for watching.
My name is Meska of the statik collective . I've been making mostly 'dark and expérimental' music for more than ten years now, i'v learn so much online, now it's time for me to share my knoledge, my exploration and this channel is a place to talk about the tools, sound design and techniques to make music with.
You can stream my albums and EPs at https://statikwave.bandcamp.com/
If you'd like to support the channel consider buying music from bandcamp ;)

"Demo of recently cleaned and calibrated Jupiter 8 synthesizer, recorded on December 7, 2024."
via this listing
"This Jupiter 8 is in excellent condition and has lived in a pet-free, smoke-free home studio for the last decade plus. It has been regularly played and is in great working condition.
This includes a mod for MIDI (in/out/thru) as well as mod switches for the VCA and VCF to provide additional sound quality options. I've regularly used the MIDI input for professional recording from various DAW software environments. It also works great with my Doepfer Dark Time or Kenton Pro Solo MkII for triggering and MIDI performance options.
The synth was professionally tuned up by DFX and sounds great. Please take a look at the provided Youtube demo that shows some of the many features. On that same Youtube channel, you can find other videos/tracks that feature the Jupiter8, including "Jupiter Sounds" (rich synth strings) and "Model DJam" (where the arpeggiator is featured)."

Electronic Music Laboratories Electrocomp EML-101 FULLY SERVICED
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"This EML 101 is fully serviced by in-house technicians, fully functional and in great condition. It sounds awesome.
The ElectroComp 101 is the successor to the rare ElectroComp 100 from Electronic Music Laboratories (EML), a small synthesizer company based out of Connecticut in the USA. Like the ARP 2600, the 101 is a patchable (1/4'' patch cords) semi-modular synth with a pre-wired voice path that can be over-ridden via patching. But unlike the ARP (or MiniMoog for that matter), the 101 has as many as four oscillators (two of which can go sub-sonic, for use as LFOs). The 101 is also Duophonic so you can play up to two notes at once. Another major distinction was that unlike Moog and ARP, who used transistors that would tend to drift out of tune under various operating temperatures, EML used op amps which proved to be far more stable and reliable.
Other onboard features include a voltage controlled 12 dB/oct multi-mode filter with resonance, two envelope generators, ring/amplitude modulator, noise, and sample-and-hold (they call this the "Sampler"). In addition, the 101 makes no distinction between control voltage and audio paths allowing just about any source to be patched to any control or audio input in any order. The 101 could easily be closed, secured and carried inside its wood casing.
This synthesizer is fantastic. It's warm, punchy, powerful and has lot of bite not to mention a sound that sets it apart from its contemporaries and, for that matter, any other synth."
