"Oberheim DSX sequencer in excellent condition. Includes original owners manual and power cable. Professionally serviced in house. Unit tested and confirmed to function.

The Oberheim DSX is a pre-MIDI digital polyphonic sequencer. It operates using a proprietary parallel bus and was designed for use with the OB-X, OB-SX, OB-Xa and OB-8. Connection was via a heavy 1:1 cable, which plugged from the host DSX to the target synthesizer using a rear DB-37 connector. The DSX is capable of driving up to 16 voices concurrently. Sequences are stored in internal memory after power-off using static RAM which remains powered up from an internal NiCad battery.

The combination of Oberheim DSX, Oberheim DMX and either OB-8 or OB-Xa were marketed as the 'Oberheim System'."

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"Like a small handful of other sample based drum machines of the mid 1980s, the Roland TR-707 is a punchy beatbox which still has a home in an electronic musician's toolkit. The sounds all sit wonderfully in a mix to this day, and the individual outputs make this a great machine for the most particular of producers.

This example of the 707 is in great shape, fully functional, and comes with the original manuals and power supply."

Pole Dancer analog filter: Zoxnoxious synthesizer voice card demo

video upload by Ultratroninator 3000

"Here's a demo of the Pole Dancer filter, the latest voice card for the Zoxnoxious synthesizer. The Zoxnoxious synth is a VCV Rack controlled hardware synth with a modular voice card architecture. The Pole Dancer earns its name with its unique pole mixing filter functions. Able to take on many different filter modes and morphing between "Personality" filter modes. The Pole Dancer and the Personality module give the VCV Rack user full control over the filter mix levels for pole mixing.

The demo shows the details on the Pole Dancer's VCV Rack module. Also shown is a few ways on how one could use VCV Rack to morph and sequence filter modes. The video ends with detail on how effective the Pole Dancer is on taking on complex filter modes.

The Expedition Electronics webpage used in the demo to show various filter modes is here: https://rnd.expeditionelectronics.com...

I'm hoping to get the voice cards and Zoxnoxious synth available sometime soon. I'm still looking into how best to do that. It's all open source with schematics, Raspberry Pi, and VCV Rack stuff all on Github: https://github.com/brer-rabbit/zoxnox...

Noria - Drones

video upload by DecadeBridge

"This video demonstrates running Noria at audio rate to use it as a drone/glitchy synth.

Here it is installed into a eurorack case but can also be used as standalone. All sounds are from Noria only.

Apologies for the video being slightly out of sync!"

Jam session 07: Compose mode

video upload by Kiviak Instruments

"In this session is shown some variations using the PAD's compose mode.
The Nord micro modular is driven by the WoFi, and fed in the input line.
Mixing cue points, note changes, solo notes and sequence leads the Nord UM to its limits, while the WoFis adds grain and controls sequence.

Advanced usage of the sequencer is shown there:
1:11 Tune the pitch of one or several steps
1:23 Tune reference note
1:30 Set start an stop step in the sequence
1:37 Use compose mode to set new sequences
2:16 Change the ref not causes the UM to stumble in its monophony...
2:38 Play a step outside the sequence
2:48 Holding down a PADs force the step to loop
4:43 Solo mode activated
4:54 Add secondary rythm using the drum thanks to solo mode
5:02 Lock the new rythm
5:26 Unlock all locked notes"
