"A little tape residue that I’m going to clean off of the 4/4 and 3/4 scale screenprint… shouldn’t be an issue at all.

The Mobius is very practical little sequencer in my opinion… I also have a Sequentix Cirklon 2 and it was a breath of fresh air with how fast the Mobius simplifies and assists in creating productive limitations for me to commit to.

No menu divey time consuming pages… just start putting notes in immidiatly and choosing between the 2 time signatures that future retro allows.

Super fun making patterns and transposing patterns on this machine

Lots of sweet spots with pattern lengths and DIN Syncing to my drum machines..

The Mobius can also control vintage cv/gate synths ( SH-101 ) and Hz/v synths like yamaha CS-15 / Korg MS20

You can send clock out of Mobius to control your synths internal sequencer or arpeggiator as well

The little red lcd screen protector has come away from the machine

I removed it so it wouldn’t fall inside of the Mobius and get lost"

Jen Syntar Analog Monophonic MIDI Mod. 1978 SN 233

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"This synth is in excellent condition and perfectly working.

The sound is big, gritty, fatty as you expect from an all analog synth and the filter really scream out loud!!!

Syntar is an analog monophonic synth born to be played with guitar via an hexaphonic pickup. The synth is now converted by Mad Rooster Lab to be played via standard MIDI!!!

It has 2 VCO both are capable of triangle, saw and pulse/square waves. VCO2 is tuned relatively to VCO1 in order to obtain some fat detuning or those classic 5ths and 7ths. Sound is fed though a lowpass VCF (24dB/oct) before reaching the VCA. VCA and VCF have independent envelopes of the atypical ADS variety (no release).

Voltage 220v."

Torso S-4 album | IDM/DnB/glitch | Not even a poet can speak the whole truth

video upload by Jay Hosking

"An album of IDM, Drum & Bass, and glitchy electronic music, for the more intense parts of your day. Songs were composed and performed on the Torso S-4, with additions and polish added in the box.

Buy the album here: https://jayhosking.bandcamp.com

00:00 - Imaginary countries
03:48 - Dreams must explain themselves
07:21 - Very far away from anywhere else
12:24 - The farthest shore
17:28 - The unreal and the real
20:57 - The word for world is forest
26:06 - Dancing at the edge of the world
29:33 - Always coming home

I recently posted a workflow video about why the Torso S-4 was an inspiration to me. Here's the proof.

I started sketching on the S-4, and before I knew it, I found myself writing song after song after song. Most of the songs needed a little more after the fact (the four tracks of the S-4 are not enough for full arrangements, for me), but the inspiration of the S-4 was enough to get me performing even before the song was finished.

So here you have eight songs, performed on the S-4, and then added to in the box as necessary to get them to the finish line. Many of the samples come from my Patreon community's sample pack from last year; a number of the samples come from a DJ Crystl sample pack, especially on the Drum & Bass tracks (2, 5, 7); and some of the samples are from the factory sounds.

Overall, this album is a showcase of how and why hardware can inspire, can surprise, and can lead to performance. It's wonderful to use hardware synths and drum machines, but sometimes audio loops and mangling is where the performance really comes alive. I'm extremely proud of this record and how spontaneous, energetic, and cohesive it is.

Thanks for listening."

Synth One J6 with VintageRack effects (demo)

video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"VintageRack (iOS/Mac) is a minimalistic and convenient multi-effect application that contains modules realistically modeling notable retro gear from the early digital era with their inherent aesthetics and atmosphere.

Most of the effects in this application have been inspired and based on the principles of actual hardware from the 70s and 80s, which is great for giving the sound of any instrument the nostalgic and emotional mood of old recordings.

UNBOXING // IK Multimedia UNO SYNTH PRO X // Part 2 // TWEAKING Presests // No Talking

video upload by LESINDES

Part 1 here

"UNBOXING // IK Multimedia UNO SYNTH PRO X // Part 2 // TWEAKING Presests // No Talking
Just arrived here. I could not dive deep into the synth. So I am scatchning only the surfice in this video and my short FIRST IMPRESSIONS of the new kid.
Very versatile little machine with paraphonic mode to play triads and program triads in the step sequencer. 2 independet filter. 1 OTA HP/LP, 1 SSM style, parallel or in series.
Now a few shortcomings:
DISTORSION is welcome but has to be that harsh?
Also: A programmable DISTORSION is a good feature but without a programmable overall level BEHIND the DISTORSION it makes the synth almost unsuitable for a live performance as for huge unsustainable loudness gaps between different patches.
DELAY and REVERB are only average and far away industry standard.
Flexible MODULATION ROUTING but it is quite a mess to readjust levels as there are for instance no dedicated attenuaters for LFO mod levels for the VCF. I understand that there is not much space on the panel 1. But LFO WAVE knob could get a 2nd shift function. Main job: LFO amount, shift-job: wave....
AND it does not feature a power switch. That's really bad when you hooked directly on your computer via USB-C. Every time when you'redone you must tear the plug or the UNO sucks your computer batterie empty.
This could be solved. By a hint of a user. Pressing the hold button for a second or two switches the unit off. So at least an OFF SWITCH!
The tune knob for the oscillators is multirange: The first 10 minutes plus and minus it increses and decreases in CT steps and in half tones. So you cannot detune the oscillators when shifted in the halftone range.
The pots controlling plus and minus CVs could better feature a DENTED CENTER POSITION. For the TUNE knob it is not a big problem as it first advances in cents but adjustment FILTER ENV amount is sometimes very delicate and a quick cancelling of the ENV is not possible without a dented center position.
Units with built in sequencer are often hooked up to computers and other machines as via MIDI or USB as slaves. And here this unit badly need a well functioning AUTO MODE so that it switches to slave automatically when an EXTERNAL CLOCK is detected at the input. Most other gear features this.
So these were my fist impressions."

Studio Playtime with Mroztronium Grackler + Wingie2

video upload by Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"A brief little playtime in the studio today, with two wonderfully inspiring and strangely named instruments. I combined the Mroztronium Grackler, which is a standalone chaotic voltage controlled instrument, which can produce sounds that resemble everything from birdsong to peanuts caught in your throat, with the Meng Qi Wingie2, which is a stereo resonator and 'excites' the sound from the Grackler. I'm playing on the keyboard of the Wingie2, whilst manipulating the filter on the Grackler. Nice and simple, but I like to think, rather effective in its modest way."
