4/5/25 (B: ROCK 2/8) Korg KR-55b + Ace Tone VM-80 + Paia 6740
video upload by Cfpp0
"I can’t remember the last time I used this modded Korg KR-55b, so it was high time we moved it from the pull-out rack shelf. That made room for the Simmons SDS8, which is now on that shelf, below the SDS7. We got an “as-is” SDS6 sequencer a few years ago and it has finally been repaired and on its way back, so we’re getting prepared. And now the TAMA TSQ-1000 drum sequencer is up for sale at Christopher’s Boutique 489 on Reverb. Anyways, this KR-55b was modified by SD Machines with decay and pitch controls, external 5v clock input, as well as individual audio outputs. Those six outputs are patched to the six Ace Tone VM-80 inputs, which are overloading hard. The VM-80 mono output runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where the Paia 6740 spring reverb is added on an aux send."
ESK - GS Music Bree6 Sound Demo
video upload by Metunar
"Sound demo of the GS Music Bree6.
It’s a 6 voice polyphonic analog synthesizer from Argentina.
Direct recording without external effects or mastering."
Modular synth performance by Stephen McCaul with Incus, Debel, Manis, and more!
video upload by Noise Engineering
"Here's an intense modular synth performance by Chief Noisemaker Stephen McCaul.
The bottom case is a six voice case with Incus Iteritas Alia (2), Debel Iteritas Alia, Tymp Legio, Manis Iteritas Alia, Virt Iter Legio + Ampla Legio.
There is a Librae Legio for the percussion submix (paralleling the main mix) and an Electus Versio on a send. The rhythm sequencing is from an experimental prototype that isn't really product worthy.
Pitch sequencing comes from Opp Ned. And the Xer Mixa mixer ties it all together.
The top case is an effects rig for another project but i used a Fala Versio and a Yester Versio in that case for some additional effects."

Elta Music Solar 42f Quick Jam
video upload by MATTHS
"Literally just fired up the @ELTAmusic Solar42f and started experimenting with the arpeggiator and the too built in VCO’s and some infinity delay. I mean, the dynamic vibes of this so far is just 🤯. I haven’t even used any of the 6 drone voices, sequencer, LFO’s, light controllers, built in preamp, joystick and the rest! Looking forwards to bringing you a full demo of this on @sonicstate in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!"
Obsidian Shroud (Oxi One, multi/poly, Wavestate, Plaits, Mercury X)
video upload by Alec Sea
"Obsidian Shroud was recorded using the Korg multi/poly and Wavestate modules, Mutable Instruments Plaits, and Roland TR-6S. Meris Mercury 7 and Mercury X and UAFX Golden were used for reverb, and Intellijel Sealegs for delay. Sequenced with the Oxi One."
Analogue Solutions presents - Is This Music? Or just Sound? Featuring Roland System 700, TR707
video upload by Analogue Solutions
"Analogue Solutions present 2x AS500 Seq with Roland TR707, Roland System 700 main cab plus Lab. Is This Music? Or just Sound? This 700 system is just so alive. Even when the sequencers are not running you can hear the background moans and groans of electrons keeping its nervous system alive.
A fairly random set of sequences however the 700 sounds so good who cares. This video is more about sound than music."

"This interesting E-mu modular started out life at an American university, at a time when E-mu were happy to sell circuit boards and sub-modules to individuals as well as manufacturing the systems themselves. Because this was built by two people, they were completely familiar with the layout (even though they decided in a few respects to make changes to the design to improve the layout of, for instance, the Universal Active Filter). That meant that they had no lettering on the panels (as well as none of the distinctive blue edging that E-mu themselves use on modules). Further research: according to a post for an auction in 2014, it was actually built by Pat Gleeson and a PhD student, and there were some pencil markings on the panel which have since worn off. Search the wonderful matrixsynth for Early Vintage E-mu Modular for Sale . Here's the link: https://www.matrixsynth.com/2014/05/early-vintage-e-mu-modular-for-sale.html. The most likely supposition is that this was built for Cal State East Bay (then known as Cal State Hayward), but we're trying to find out more.
In the interests of intelligibility by someone not intimately involved in its creation, we decided that it needed labelling. We did this with cheap tape, and a Brother printer. The results are more useful than beautiful. (If it was partly Pat Gleeson's work, the lettering and blue tape could easily be removed if you wanted.) Cosmetically it is generally good - the knobs have started to discolour a bit after nearly 50 years, but are still nice to use. One silver top is missing.
Working order: every module has been checked out as 100%. Three of them needed some expertise from Tony Wride, who used E-mu parts where possible and Pioneer Tribute parts where not. Altogether this modular is probably about 97% E-mu and 3% Pioneer. As this process has taken a year or two to complete, and the modular hasn't received the regular playing it deserves, some pots may be scratchy when first used.
Check the pics for what you will get. The UAF needed a replacement wooden piece in the cabinet to screw into, so hadn't been connected when we took the pics. Packing 30GBP."
