"Clavia Nord Lead 3 with Full Pro Restoration + Custom Line Out Mod. This one has been completely rebuilt. Studio-ready, sonically enhanced, and future-proofed. 1 year warranty with Invoice.

Full PSU rebuild, including replacement of X2 safety caps (RIFA issue permanently resolved)
Complete recap with high-grade parts: Panasonic FR/HD, Kemet PEGH, Nichicon MUSE, ELNA Silmic II
Unique Line Out Mod, deliberate hardware-based character shaping at the analog output stage:
• Outputs 1–2: Silmic II – warm, smooth character
• Outputs 3–4: MUSE – clean, punchy tone
Factory-original AD1865R R–2R multibit DACs and pure analog output signal path, no oversampling, no digital filtering. Fantastic transient response, vivid mid-range, deep and punchy low end.

100% working, clean condition. This is one of the very few NL3s on the market that has had its PSU, caps, and audio path completely upgraded with longevity and sound quality in mind."

Hügelton Instruments Introduces K102E Digital Compound Oscillator


video upload by Hügelton Instruments

"The K102E is a digital compound oscillator rooted in our original “Island Synthesis” philosophy. 2 independent digital cores are blended via Phase-Modulation, Cross-Fade, or Additive Mix to create dense, animated harmonics—all in a compact Eurorack module.

Website: https://hugelton.com/k102e

VCV Rack version: https://library.vcvrack.com/Hugelton/..."


The K102E is a digital compound oscillator module developed based on the unique "Island Synthesis" philosophy.

Features

3 independent oscillators for rich sound generation

Stable oscillation and diverse wavetable synthesis achieved through DSP processing by microcomputer

Two main oscillators (A/B) function similar to typical complex oscillators

Selection from 3 synthesis methods (phase modulation, multiplication, crossfade)

Hard sync and detune functions

8 types of waveforms following 80's wavetable synthesizers

Reading position controlled by harmonic specification index

Third oscillator (C) functions as an auxiliary oscillator

Selection of any frequency from low to high

Can be used as an LFO or cross-modulator

External control interfaces include standard CV inputs with octave/volt control, CV control for harmonics (wavetable read position), and CV input for alpha parameter of waveform synthesis

NEW 2025 Panoptigon Discs - PUMP ORGAN & FAST BOSSA NOVA


video upload by optigandotcom

"Now available from the Quilter Labs web store! https://www.quilterlabs.com/collectio...

PUMP ORGAN is the antique Estey Harmonium sound previously heard on the vintage Optigan "Gay 90s Waltz" disc, as well as our Orchestron "Harmonium" disc. We renamed the sound for this Panoptigon disc in order to avoid confusion with the Orchestron disc. Also, PUMP ORGAN utilizes the full 5-octave range of the sound as heard on the original master tape.

PUMP ORGAN can only be played on Panoptigon, and is not compatible with Optigan or Orchestron.
