"Here is a very rare occasion to buy a RSF Kobol and this one is in full working condition. Internal battery has been replaced. Its worse cosmetic flaw being the crack in its right flank as shown in the pictures, which has not cracked further for the last 20 years. Feels totally solid. Otherwise the cosmetic condition is excellent. It comes (not in the pictures) with its original paper manual and in a very sturdy custom wooden box with foam inside that is also very heavy. So if you want to ship you will have to tell us if you want the box or not as since it weighs almost as much as the synth it will have a significant impact on the shipping cost. The RSF Kobol is one of the very best vintage monophonic synths ever designed with its distinctive powerful and precise sound and one of the sexiest User Interface ever designed. Plus it has 16 memory slots and the ability to sequence these slots making it one of the most powerful sequencers of its time. You can trigger it from any 5V clock.

"In very nice condition. You will struggle to find a nicer looking one. Everything working as far as I can tell. But it is a Russian Synth! They are revered for their sound and not necessarily for their build quality. Having said that, this is the best of all the Russian synths I have owned and the last one I have kept. ***I can confirm the Polyvoks has fully functioning midi. There is a midi input on the back and in order for the keyboard to be controlled by midi messages there is a switch on the left side of the Polyvoks which switches the unit from its own keyboard to midi. The media interface also transfers velocity values for the VCA.***"

Updated L-Fusion Analog Kicks Eurorack module demo

video upload by LFusion Electronics

"Updated demo video showcasing L-Fusion Modular Analog Kicks Eurorack module with walkthrough through all the parameters, also tips how to get most of it using filtering and EQ. For best listening experience use studio headphones/speakers that can handle the low end.

Module is available on Reverb.

808 kick generates softer more boomy kick sound while 909 outputs more aggressive punchy kick often used for making techno. Built using modern components – Audio grade Burr-Brown OpAmps, low noise transistors as well as quality capacitors including legendary WIMA German ones where larger values are needed - module provides two clean analog sound outputs with dynamic range of over 90dB.

808 section outputs classic boomy kick based on T-Shape resonator, often used in Electro/Acid tracks. It has decay, pitch and tone knobs. The circuit has been modified for longer maximum decay.

909 kick is more complex, it generates more aggressive punchy kick sound often used making techno, its core is based on integrated triangle shape oscillator. This kick drum can be controlled with original attack, decay, tune, tune decay potentiometers. Original 909 circuit has been improved for longer maximum decay, we have also integrated extra potentiometers for soft clipping distortion and fast decaying attack noise control."

"I wonder... how does one increase views? I've been doing the same thing for years. Like 10+ years... and the longer I go, the fewer sales I have on each subsequent album, the fewer views, the fewer everything. I guess it's hard to change, maybe everything I do is the same.

Probably just a saturated market. Everyone out there is doing something."

Novation Summit semi-generated meditative ambient music

"'Creativity is the ability to introduce order in the randomness of nature'. (Eric Hoffer)

Heaphones on, eyes closed.

Little reminder of how I do this: I created several self-generating patches that play simultaneously and several sequences with modulation frequencies. The three LFOs of the Summit are playing ping-pong with each other. Of course, everything follows predefined rules to avoid a complete mess, it is NOT AI music. The LFO's just "modulate together" in harmony. It's basically FM synthesis. But FM can be hazardous, eventful or even crazy. It takes time to reach something pleasant and relaxing.

The Novation Summit and the Novation Peak do have a strong FM engine and these synths can be turned into a modular synthesizer. Then I just had to add some real-time effects on everything and off we go."

"With the immense sonic potential of granular synthesis, Multigrain can transform your audio samples into everything from ethereal ambient drones to sputtering, alien machine techno, and virtually everything else in between. With ample assignable modulation inputs and real-time, performance-focused controls, the only limit is your imagination.

Part of a Nutritious Microsound Diet

Multigrain is an eight-channel stereo morphing granular sampler. Layer grains and sequence from the eight available Sounds—each one loaded from your microSD sample library, or recorded directly on the module. Each of the eight Sound Buttons plays grains generated from its own sample, and its own pair of Scenes—two completely different sets of granular parameters; a dedicated Morphing Fader and CV allow you to smoothly morph between these two Scenes. Dedicated Select, Next and Gate CV inputs allow you to sequence the playback of all eight Sounds.

Assignable X/Y/Z CV as well as an internal Random S&H generator, can be applied to any and all granular parameters at once. Assignable MOD A/B Outputs let you modulate other modules in time with Multigrain.

Projects and Presets allow you to save, load, and organize different sets of samples and settings. 48kHz 24-bit Stereo I/O and 32-bit floating point internal processing for Hi-Fi output."
