"This limited edition 25 Voice Micro Q comes from a smoke-free home studio. It is in fine working order and was a great companion to the other Waldorf's. Having the Halloween Edition of the Q keyboard, it makes sense for someone else to love this Micro Q. This one is painted all glossy unlike other Waldorf rack synths, very classy. No rack rash though the faceplate seems to have a slight bend that was probably a factory issue? Never bothered me, never been dropped either. Comes with power supply."

"Vintage 1980 Oberheim OB-X 8-voice synth FOR SALE [voice card demo] for Reverb listing"
via this Reverb listing
"Vintage (~1980) Oberheim OB-X [8-voice] with Encore MIDI installed!
This has been my personal holy grail analog synth for many years. The deluxe Encore MIDI kit was professionally installed and gives the unit full MIDI in/out/thru capabilities as well as improved OS system and the ability to store 120 factory patches (i.e. OB-Xa). The synth was serviced by a pro tech and working flawlessly until just recently. Currently, there is no audio being sent from the L/R Mono output jacks. The digital processing section appears to be working normally as the knobs and LED switches are still functional (see video demo link). The eight individual voice cards were all calibrated previously and were each in working order."

Elements hidden easter egg video
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"'A Mutable video should have a hidden easter egg'.
When I made my Elements video [below] I added an 'unlisted' video as an easter egg which was discovered by ~60 people while the original video has over 7K views. Obviously it was so well hidden it was completely overlooked, so now I made it public :)
Nothing special, it's just a bonus performance with Elements 'chord' mode, and Plaits and Rings as external sources. Check out the original Elements video for more info about the external inputs."
Elements by Mutable Instruments
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"I guess this is a good example focusing on the modules we already have. Elements was introduced 9 years ago on DivKid's channel and Red Means Recording did an excellent panel walkthrough about 3 years ago. It's discontinued since Mutable closed shop 'due to success and different life goals' but Mutable never left the Eurorack landscape. In fact they're still the most adopted, expanded and cloned modules around. I'll be using both Elements and After Later's ATOM in this video, which is a smaller alternative with the exact same firmware.
After nine years, i think it's time for a refreshment because even today in 2025 it's one of the coolest modules ever made, and nothing better came along. I also realized I never made a feature video for it."

Lofi Ambient Beats w/ OP-1 field, LYRA-8, LOSSY | Olive 2025-06-21 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A track crafted with the @somasynths Lyra-8, @teenageengineering OP-1 field, and @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY—an ambient beat that layers sounds into a lo-fi atmosphere.
OP-1 field: A master NITRO filter shapes the sound, and the output runs through LOSSY for an overall lo-fi vibe. The rhythm section is pre-recorded, with harmony and synth phrases overdubbed.
Lyra-8: Modulated tones are given a touch of the onboard delay, creating abstract textures.
Microphone (RØDE NT-4): Captures hand-bell hits, which receive reverb and delay in Ableton Live.
Post-production: Omnisphere is added in Ableton to layer a few extra sound effects."

It’s great… but is it worth two Bass Stations?: Moog Messenger review
video upload by MusicRadar Tech
"Messenger is Moog’s latest analogue monosynth, filling a hole left in the company’s lineup left after the Subsequent 25 was discontinued earlier this year.
Despite a simple, understated look, Messenger is a deceptively complex monosynth with a sound that more than lives up to Moog’s sonic heritage. But it enters a competitive monosynth market with a price well above some competitively equipped instruments.
Does Messenger have enough to say to justify its price tag? We explore its capabilities to find out…"
