"Crazy rare! 1970s Baldwin Syntha-Sound mono synth. Multi preset sections, flute, and filtered synth all in one big cute package with onboard speakers and spring reverb. Everything functioning as it should.
This unit has been fully recapped, brand new speakers installed, cleaned, and repaired in a number of areas. Expression slider has been replaced. multiple keys have been repaired (this is a fairly fragile J-bar keybed so be gentle!). Some replacement slide caps and button covers."
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Every now and then this show needs some blasphemy, a little slap in the face of iconic music history milestones and one of these 'he’s obviously trolling' moments true Bad Gear fans crave at least once a year.
Today we are going to talk about the legendary D-50. This LA synth and Roland’s answer to the Yamaha DX7 not only had a huge impact on the sound aesthetics of the late 80s, it is also still relevant for Enya Orinoco Flow Covers, creating high end General Midi Kontakt Libraries, channeling your Reagan Era soap opera PTSD AND I might have a point here…

"Today we dive into the audio mixing utility from the 200t line: the 207t Mixer / Preamplifier.
On top of being a very comfortable mixing desk for your eurorack system there is some fun stuff to do with all it's bonus outputs such as dub mixing, feedback exploration, fat saturation with the preamp and more.
We'll explore some of this in the video, check out the time stamps.
Have fun!!!"

"On our From Reset To Preset series, we noodle sounds from scratch, and showcase our new Redshift 6 synthesizer in use.
On this lush keys sound, we take advantage of the Redshift 6’s DCO stack to create a thick super saw on each 6 voices. The filter cutoff is modulated with key follow, note velocity and auxiliary envelope, while the amplifier is modulated with LFO and auxiliary envelope to give movement to the sound.
Voices are spread in stereo to add dimension to the sound. On a final touch, the polyphonic aftertouch is assigned to the filter cutoff to offer more expression when playing."
"Single note drones are cool, but melodic drones are beautiful.
Checkout how the Ultra LFO can be used to generate melodies with the use of it's stepped LFO waveform. Simply use it to modulate the pitch of an oscillator, sprinkle a little delay and away you go!
No patching or use of an external sequencer required!
Turn it on and drone away.

"Improvisation on the CPM DS-2, our new Compact Portable Modular drone synth. It's a single continuous take with no external effects. Recording setup was simply just the DS-2 plugged directly into a Zoom H1n recorder, while monitoring over headphones."
"Here is 'Luna part III'. I'm using a Buchla Easel Command 208C, Monome Norns Shield with the 'oooooo' script loaded and a Chase Bliss Mood mkII pedal. It was recorded on tape with an Uher 4200 Report Stereo IC."
