"Very rare Sequential Circuits sequencer model 800.
256 steps digital sequencer from 1977.
Developed for the Prophet 5, but can be used with every CV/GATE Input and Output
Serviced byTurnlab ( Belgium ) in 2023
Fully tested.
Unlike true analogue sequencers, the Model 800 quantizes and records incoming control voltages digitally, together with their timing information. Editing of pitch and measure is also possible.Sequences are recorded into one of the 16 "banks", each capable of holding 16 notes. These can then be played back individually or as one continuous sequence playing from the leftmost bank to the rightmost."
"Rich brass and strings pads from the Roland RS-202 Synthesizer running through the dreamy tape echoes of the Roland RE-201.
Recorded on a Revox A77 MK4 reel-to-reel for that warm, vintage vibe.
Just pure analog goodness and spacey textures.
I posted some images of my new acquisition last week. “Kind” is the first jam I recorded on my new synthesizer, the Solar 42F from Elta Music. I named the track “Kind” because this instrument has many buttons, switches and lights that let the child in me play and go on a journey of discovery.
Of course I use an Arabic scale in this first jam :D If you know my music, you also know my preference for Middle East flavours. After my first attempts, I was glad that I got the 24 oscillators more or less in tune with each other - I think that was my biggest difficulty and first challenge to master before I can dive into the endless modular possibilities this engine offers.
"The MultiMod is the first module in the New Universal Synthesizer System (NUSS), but also the first module designed by the new MakeNoise expanded development team. I am not sure, but it seems they managed to capture one of Moog's former lead designers who also contributed to the Muse. As always, expectations were high, but as always, MultiMod generously exceeded them.
Yes I know it's 'just' a digital mult with built in waveforms, and everything that comes in, goes out eightfold. It's either identical, like a true mult, or shifted in phase, reshaped or skewed. It can be clocked and frozen. I should have been impressed by having eight LFOs in various speeds and shapes but I know how to make music with those. In 2025, most of us do. However, running the MultiMod with audio rate signals is pure bliss. It's not advertised as such, I don't think MakeNoise even mentioned it in the manual or in their official videos which almost seems they've already seen an 'audio processor' in some secret office. I am speculating here, but a New Universe is bound to expand.
For me personally, biased and subjective, is one of the best effects you can get for your modular, even though it's not supposed to be one. The only thing I regret is ordering a second one for stereo crosspatching."

"First exploration with the Koma Elektronik Chromaplane analog synthesizer, and brainwaves via the SoundMachines BI1👌🏽
Beta waves are sending control voltages into the Chromaplane filter, and Apha waves modulating the delay time. I also made a finger ring to hold a magnet while performing with the pickups, it helps generate a subtle kick sound when tapped with a pickup💡
"A piece created using the Moog One, Sirin, and Grandmother. It’s a minimal ambient track where the electronic sounds of three synthesizers gradually evolve.
The Moog One provides the harmonies, the Sirin plays arpeggios, and the Grandmother handles the bass. All sounds are triggered via MIDI sent from a DAW. The Sirin is connected to an NTS-3, which applies reverb and delay."
