"KORG Mono-Poly & Kovari Midipoly retrofit 372767 Original Korg Mono/Poly with Kovari MIDI retrofit - specifications available online New baseboard and custom plywood side panels Very tidy - camera shows every speck of dust Front panel Excellent All pots clean and noise free Voices fully functioning but will require calibration to ensure optimal output

DESCRIPTION: I acquired this fully functioning MonoPoly some years ago, but the case was in terrible condition. I cut a new baseboard from MDF, and then cut and installed new marine grade plywood side panels. The front panel is in great condition, but there is a slight defect on the mod wheel assembly panel as per the condition I acquired. All pots are noise free, as are the outputs. She sounds amazing in Poly Unison mode, but the individual voices do drift a little. She would benefit from a comprehensive voice calibration, but I don't have the instruments required to do so. Once she is fully calibrated, she will sound even more awesome. She comes with the Kovari MIDI retrofit, which allows her to integrate in to any modern MIDI studio. Very sorry to see her go, but I just don't have the space for my full hardware studio any more."

via this Reverb listing

"The Elka Wilgamat was an accompaniment unit intended as an add-on to some of Elka's organ line and also as a standalone unit with dedicated 2 octave keyboard. It consists of a rhythm unit, a bass section and a chord section. All sounds are of course fully analog. It is very similar in features and sound to the Godwin Drummaker, Wersi Wersimatic WM24, Elgam Carousel or Böhm Böhmat. If you don't know these units check the video I made with a different unit. [previously posted here] Unit was serviced and is in fully working order. It comes with a custom DIY keyboard and cable. Cosmetic the unit has some scuffs mainly on the case but overall looks very nice."

Ableton Air & Ciat Lonbarde Plumbutter 2

Sequencer: Ableton Air https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Delay: Shoegazer Reverse Gate https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store... "Ableton Air
Inspired by Timeless Techniques
'Air' draws its inspiration from Brian Eno's Music for Airports and the concept of overlapping tape loops. This Ableton Max for Live plugin translates these ideas into a modern generative sequencer, enabling you to explore infinite musical possibilities without repetitive programming.

Effortless Note Generation
Forget the constraints of the piano roll. 'Air' generates notes autonomously, creating endless variations of melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. Your music becomes a living, breathing entity that evolves over time, making each moment unique.

Perfect for Experimental and Ambient Music
Whether you're crafting immersive ambient soundscapes, exploring experimental electronica, or composing intricate minimal music, 'Air' provides the tools to elevate your creativity. Its generative approach ensures that no two performances are ever the same, offering a fresh perspective with every playback.

Features Designed for Limitless Inspiration
Evolving Sequences: Generate infinitely unique patterns that never repeat.
Customizable Settings: Fine-tune parameters to align with your artistic vision.
Seamless Integration: Designed for Ableton Live users who value creativity and experimentation.

Create Music That Breathes
'Air' is more than a plugin—it's a partner in creation, designed for musicians who embrace unpredictability and seek to push boundaries. Unleash the power of generative composition and let your music take flight."

Hypnotic Vhikk X OP-XY synth album | Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drone

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synth album for your workday, performed on a small setup.

00:00 - Relatively abstemious
07:21 - Occulta semina
13:39 - Trees under Venice
22:15 - Anthropodenial
25:38 - Walsham

Buy the album here:



Sometimes you try something so inspiring that you have to record everything you can from it, as fast as you can. SKETCHES FOR MY SWEETHEART THE DRONE is a collection of songs all recorded live within a 48-hour period.

For all songs, it's the same hardware setup: the FORGE TME Vhikk X (our titular drone) with Teenage Engineering OP-XY (drums, bass, and synth). The goal was to keep the songs simple, hypnotic, and most of the synth parts are played live over simple drum and bass sequences.

The end result is (I hope) a simmering background album, perfect for your work, emails, reading, or otherwise living your life. Thanks for listening."
