The Delay you can Play // Echolocator
video upload by Starsky Carr
"It invites you to play and tweak and is so controllable with so many options for sound design that Erica Synths Echolocator draws you in and opens up a world of infinite tones. ... watch the intro and you'll get what I'm on about :)
So.. this is my demo and review of the Echolocator - I'm really enjoying it. I think its the way its been designed for ultra controllability of the delay chain. Hold that filter, add some feedback, bring in some shimmer, drop the cutoff, add some gentle modulation. .. and before you know it you;'re 10 minutes in."

"The Yamaha SY35 is a Vintage Synth featuring a Vector Synthesis engine. It's still a nice sounding machine with an unique digital LoFi timbre."

"UNIT IS FOR SALE:
https://reverb.com/item/89181075
https://www.ebay.com/itm/306255320490
I've serviced several Wilgamat and I noticed that sometimes you can miss some minor issues in an otherwise working unit, mainly in the bass accompaniement arpeggios: missing notes, wrong pitched notes, double trigger notes... These issues (as most of the issues in this instruments) are caused by faulty CMOS chipsets. These are cheap and easy to replace. Issue can however be in the AY-1-1313 chipsets (Priority Latching Network chipset) and these are harder to find.
Here you can listen to a fullly working and proper sounding unit and compare it to yours. Pay particular attention to the bass part, especially in "walking bass" mode. If one or more patterns do not sound like these then you have some faulty chipsets somewhere.
There is a non intended use of these unit I like: when playing in "key" start mode with lowest tempo, you can use this unit as a simple bass or synth keyboard.
Depending on the pattern selected you don't get the same result. With a little pratice it can turn as a nice simple bass keyboard.
Also note the bass section only spans over 1 octave whereas the accompanient sections spans over 2."

Ana Modulation Multiplier
video upload by Mystic Circuits
"Another quick patch showing off Ana's many capabilities. This patch shows how to use Ana to turn a single modulation source into multiple modulation signals and control your entire patch with the turn of a knob. Ana is incredible for feedback patching and unlocking the full potential of modules that provide their own modulation signals for self-patching.
This is a much longer demo because I have been having a lot of fun with this module combo as I have been beta testing the Entropic Loops Grackle, an innovative phase modulation oscillator from a new company that is a collaboration of Naomi from Omi Industries and genius programmer Eris. If you would like to know more about this module there will be some information posted to their website soon:
