"The first sampler from AKAI - 1985
4khz to 22khz frequency sampling (1 sec. to 8 sec.)
6 voices polyphony
Analog lowpass filter
In good cosmetic condition, with many light traces of rust on the cover, but all other parts are free form rust or humidity traces. Inside is perfectly clean.
Everything works perfect.
This unit have the rare custom Firmware 1.3 from Florian Anwander allowing multi slices, velocity to filter and amp + more.
Some of these features need to be loaded from disk at start, but this disk is missing.
However, the velocity functions are available
The sampler have also been modified with 6 individual outputs. It allows to output each slice to individual output, but also to pan each of the 6 voices individually.
The MD280 disk unit have a new belt and head cleaned
It comes with 6 rare QDD 2.8 inch sample disks, including original AKAI library disks.
Works on 220-240 AC"

Moog Muse Whimsical Interlude
video upload by MIDERA
"A new ambient track. I really liked the sound of the filter oscillating in this pleasing sort of way.
No external FX."
Redshift 6 - Rave Breakbeat
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"Early 90's rave/breakbeat vibes with Redshift 6.
This demo consists of four multitimbral parts, all recorded live from their individual outputs:
Part 1: Bass line (Character: Mean)
Part 2: Detuned saw lead (Character: Mean)
Part 3: Distorted acid lead (Character: Sour)
Part 4: Square lead (Character: Sour)
The acid lead has an external delay; all other synth parts are dry.Drums were added in the DAW."
WMD Skorpion - CV Feedback Experiments
video upload by WMDevices
"WMD Skorpion is an 8-stage analog vector based wavefolder. It is a sound designer's dream with tons of inputs and outputs for the ultimate waveshaping experience. In this video, we explore using the built-in outputs and CV inputs on Skorpion for some feedback based CV modulation, using a VCA to shape the amplitude of the modulation, making it more rhythmix and intentional.
PREORDERS FOR SKORPION CLOSE OCT. 8th. Get your order in at WMDEVICES.com today!
WMD designs electronic hardware for musicians longing for a balance of precision and exploration. Our quality control is the absolute finest, with service to match."
Check with dealers on the right for upcoming availability as well.

The Finish Line
video upload by davidryle
"Having a little fun with the Q960 sequencers and the Moog Matriarch.
The Q960 pair are set up for index sequencing on the bass line. This is a fun way to mangle the bass line but keep it steady in time with the drum pattern. The gate duty was handed to the Dotcom Q172 quantizer for only sending gates when there is a change of pitch voltage. This helped to avoid the typical pulse rhythm.
The bass voice is a pair of Synthetic Sound Labs TZ-VC Oscillators in FM coupling. There is a third VCO from SSL for a sine wave sub-oscillator. These are mixed through the Corsynth C114 transistor drive mixer to the Oakley Voltage Controlled State Variable Filter in low pass mode. The signal is split and sent through the Modcan 73B stereo echo delay and also a dry signal is driven by a second Corsynth T-Mixer for added saturation.
The drum sounds are from the Delptronics LDB-2E and the TipTop SD808 snare. There is a Mutable Instruments Grids and the Moon Modular 563 trigger sequencer coupled to trigger the modules. The snare is sent through the MakeNoise Echophon delay and produces the raspy pulse voice heard throughout.
A hollow wood/metal block percussive sound is generated by a pair of Dotcom Q106's, a Mega Ohm Audio CdS LPG and an SSL Digital Delay. This is triggered by the STG Trigger Mini Store and reset by the Moon 554 Octal Clock Divider.
The IN-YER-FACE lead line is the Moog Matriarch through a T.C.Electronics D-Two delay unit.
Clock source was from Cubase through the STG Time Divider.
A pair of Dotcom Q962 Sequential Switches were used to route the various step gates from the lower Q960 Sequencer to the upper Q960. Routing and pitch values were pre-determined after hours of rehearsal to set up a particular scale or mode that determined what I should play on the Matriarch.
It should be noted that certain happenstance values of the sequence pattern produced passing tones that lead to the typical blues scale in C. I just had to go with it."
