"Classic powerhouse of a poly-synth! The Yamaha CS60 shares the same architecture of the CS80 (including memory) which is why it's a fantastic synth to dial-in that big boy CS80 sound without the heavy price tag. This one was overhauled by our in-house technician, see notes below! Unfortunately, the ribbon controller is no longer responding to pressure on the treble side. Fully functional otherwise and sounds dreamy as one would expect! Sorry, no legs are included. Lid and pedal included as pictured.
Service notes:
-Replaced all electrolytic capacitors within internal power supply
-Replaced other electrolytic capacitors associated with power supply rail
-Replaced all "lilac" capacitors
-Cleaned all controls, exterior panel, knobs and inside of chassis
-Cleaned keybed and entire assembly
-Calibrated power supply, key CV generators and key CV sample and hold
-Tuned all voices
More info on the CS60:
Featuring two oscillators, two envelopes, and two low-frequency oscillators. It also has a built-in chorus effect and a built-in arpeggiator. The CS-60 is capable of producing a wide range of sounds, from warm and mellow to bright and aggressive.
The CS60 is a 8 note polyphonic synthesizer w/ velocity, aftertouch and a ribbon controller which offers the player a really organic feel into the performance of the instrument. Other key real-time control facilities, such as the LFO/ring-modulator section really make the CS60 a great players instrument – it’s all about the performance with the big CS polys. The resonant qualities of the Yamaha CS series filter are unmatched by any other poly-synth so they sound unique."

1970s Multivox MX-20 Electric Piano SN 70479

"The MX-20 was an electric piano produced from 1977 to 1978. Had five presets (high/low piano and clavichord and 'honky tonk') and a bass split with independent volume control. 61 key keyboard. Tune, Sustain and vibrato controls. Works as expected, controls are a little scratchy but sounds great otherwise!"

"Oberheim OB-1 Pro Serviced in January 2025!
Very potent and versatile vintage analog mono synth.
This particular OB-1 has the fantastic Tauntek programmer board installed.
That includes more cool features like 64 memory locations etc-etc.
It also completely replaces the sensitive and unreliable original programmer board.
The Oberheim OB-1 has a screaming resonance. The sweet analog filter is switchable between 2pole and 4pole."

Oberheim OB 12 Synth Hunter Episode 50
video upload by Synth Hunter
Audio demo at the end. You can use the player controls on bottom to slide forward and to enable CC subtitles.
"The Oberheim OB-12 is a virtual analog synthesizer introduced in the late 1990s by Oberheim, then under the management of Viscount International. It was intended to transfer the iconic analog sound of the earlier Oberheim synthesizers such as the OB-Xa or the OB-8 into the world of digital signal processing.
The OB-12 has been praised for its wide tonal palette, ranging from gentle pads and bell-like tones to aggressive leads and basses. However, purists did not always regard it as a worthy successor to the analogue Oberheim synthesizers, as the digital sound character was sometimes perceived as less authentic.
Nevertheless, the OB-12 remains an interesting and versatile synthesizer that will be appreciated in both studios and live performances thanks to its distinctive sound and flexible programming options."

SUPERCHARGE your OP-XY with KOALA Sampler
video upload by Skerry Vibe
"While we patiently wait and hope for updates to the sampler in the OP-XY, the solution to many of the shortcomings can be found in our pockets, the Koala Sampler. It works well with midi and sending audio to and from it.
I hope this will give you some inspiration.
Chapters:
00:00 Intro
00:13 KOALA Sampler
00:19 Stem separation
00:43 Autochop
01:53 Time stretch
03:25 Sequence the samples
04:03 Sequence drums
05:56 Creating a dirty tape piano sound
06:44 Adding effects
11:00 Recording the sound back in to the OP-XY"
Monomer Norns looper (WIP)

"I’ve been learning softcut for Norns and made this little looper and records a loop then adds some addition loops at different rates. If you want to try it, you can install it like this:

1/22/25 (pulser monks) Metasonix TM-3 & TM-1 + Hewlett-Packard 3310A + CXM 1978
video upload by Cfpp0
"1/22/25 (pulser monks) Metasonix TM-3 & TM-1 + Hewlett-Packard 3310A + CXM 1978
The TM-3 didn’t fit easily onto the Alesis rackmount, but we were able to rack it after grinding the holes a bit. In this video, the TM-3 oscillators and suboctave are droning through the TM-1 SE, which is getting CV from the Hewlett-Packard 3310A function generator. The reverb was blended on the CXM 1978."
Noise synthesizer - BWNoise
video upload by VladimirRadiomay
"Экспериментальный звуковой синтезатор BWNoisе.
Идеи и сборка - полная импровизация. Желание соединить несоединяемое и чтобы это звучало.
Experimental sound synthesizer BWNoise.
Ideas and assembly - complete improvisation. The desire to connect the unconnectable and make it sound."
