Future Retro Vectra Prototype with Black/Gold Faceplate SN 0001

via this Reverb listing
"One of only 2 known Vectras with an early Black/Gold faceplate which was never put into production. No Black Gold keyboards were ever made as far as I know. These were prototypes. This unit is fully working with all mods and upgrades including a firmware upgrade to version 2. Includes box, packing, manuals, and Universal power supply. The other known unit has purple heartwood endcaps and ALSO features a 001 serial number. These are the only units like this known to exist. Will be double boxed for safe delivery worldwide.
The Vectra is a unique hybrid synthesizer with a flexible architecture that allows many different forms of synthesis to be realized. It’s the best of both worlds… The Vectra utilizes digital oscillators, ring modulators, noise sources, vector mixer, LFO’s, complex envelopes, and modulation routings providing many capabilities that would be very difficult to produce with analog circuitry alone. This allows for accurate tuning, repeatability of complex patches, and patch storage. The Vectra also provides a multi-mode analog filter, VCA, and final output, as these provide the best sonic qualities."

STG MuSonics Vanilla Voice (5U MU Dotcom Large Format!)

You can find demos in previous posts here.
From the listing:
"If you have not been following the 5U scene, you may or may not know that Suit and Tie Guy's eurorack company, STG Soundlabs, was acquired in a private equity trade valued at 6 million $DOGE by America's oldest synthesizer company, MuSonics (makers of fine musical instruments). You may also not know that this new and revitalized MuSonics then set about completing the work that Tom Oberheim started and created the "Vanilla Synthesizer" -- the culmination of all of the circuit and synthesis ideas of the Oberheim Two Voice. This is the first version of that synthesizer.
If you want SEM type sounds, this is the best sounding SEM that it is possible to introduce into your studio in the year of our lord 2025. Arguably, it is the best sounding analog monophonic synthesizer that currently exists. Set aside that it obviously looks beautiful and amazing and ergonomic and that it invites you to play it; it simply sounds better than any other monosynth made in this millennium.
Including STG's unique backplane CV/Gate cables to pre-patch control signals between modules, making these modules something like an Oberheim SEM with Arp 2600 pre-patchability -- this thing is a true modern classic. :)"

Mutable Instruments Shruthi XT Hybrid Mono Wavetable Synth w/ 4 Pole Mission Analog Filter
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
Pic of the inside below.
"For sale is a Mutable Instruments Shruthi XT hybrid digital/analog monosynth. Osc, envelopes & LFO's are digital but passed through a true analog filter, in this case the 4 Pole Mission filter. The XT has greater hands-on control than the original Shruthi-1, I liken it to a budget Waldorf Microwave XT. The oscillator section allows for some interesting sound generating combinations including XOR, phase distortion and bitwise mangling.
4-Pole Mission filter specs from Mutable: "A clean 4-pole filter based on the high quality SSM2164, from which are derived 15 different filter responses (LP, HP, notch, allpass…) according to a technique popularized on the Oberheim Xpander. Additional circuitry provides 4 different “flavours” of the resonance self-oscillation, from pure and liquid to chaotic and distorted" Filter will self-oscillate and tracks decently across ~4 octaves.
This unit works perfectly and features the latest and final firmware, 1.02. Comes with a generic power adapter- 9V center POSITIVE (not Boss style which is center negative- don't use one of those to try and power this!).
Black aluminum case, rogan knobs."

Roland Juno 106 Vintage Analog Synthesizer w/New Voice Chips
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this eBay listing, also on Reverb
"The Roland Juno-106 is an iconic 80s polyphonic synthesizer celebrated for its lush analog chorus, warm pads, and punchy basses that have defined countless classic tracks. With MIDI control, hands-on sliders, and rock-solid reliability, it delivers timeless analog tone that fits seamlessly into both vintage and modern productions.
This synthesizer is in very good condition with all original knobs, buttons and slider caps. One original voice chip was problematic, so I replaced all of the voice chips with new clones. I replaced the original 2 prong power cord with a grounded IEC inlet so the synthesizer can use a standard 3 prong IEC power cord, and one will be included."

HEAL - Electronica #15 // Analog Four, Octatrack, Modular, Subharmonicon and Electric Guitar
video upload by David Falcon
"Estos últimos días necesitaba un rato para hacer música sin mayores pretensiones. La creación de este tema ha sido terapéutico para mí y de ahí el nombre.
Estoy cada vez más cómodo con este setup. He añadido una pedalera Harley Benton Spaceship 80 para tener todos los cables ordenados y recogidos, salvo los del modular por supuesto. Así puedo llevar conmigo el setup a donde quiera.
Analog Four mkii, Octatrack mkii, Subharmonicon y Modular.
En este caso he añadido un segundo filtro, el Dual dagger de Shakmat aunque poco uso le doy en esta Jam en concreto. Filtra ligeramente los sonidos de Arbhar.
En la parte final me apetecía duplicar la melodía principal con un segundo instrumento y me decidí por la guitarra ya que es mi instrumento principal y últimamente no tengo demasiadas oportunidades de utilizarla.
Eso es todo. Espero que os guste y cualquier duda a los comentarios estaré encantado de hablarlo.

These last few days I really needed some time to create music and evade myself from everything going on in life. The creation of this one was therapeutic for me, hence the title.
I'm getting more and more comfortable with this setup. I added a Harley Benton Spaceship 80 pedalboard to keep all the cables organized and tidy, except for the modular, of course. This way, I can take the setup with me wherever I go.
Analog Four mkii, Octatrack mkii, Subharmonicon, and Modular.
I've added a second filter to the case, the Shakmat Dual Dagger, although I don't use it much in this particular jam. It slightly filters out Arbhar's sounds.
In the final part, I wanted to double the main melody with a second instrument, and I decided on the guitar since it's my main instrument and I haven't had many opportunities to use it lately.
That's all. I hope you like it, and if you have any questions, I'd be happy to discuss them in the comments."
