Technosaurus Selector C with Antonus Step Brother Improvisation Demos by Anton's

video uploads by Antonus

"There is not many Technosaurus modular demos in youtube so we take profit of have one in our workshop for check and then put for sale. This modular synthesizer makes honor to his name:

Is old, is very rare and difficult to find one in good shape and working, is big and heavy, the sound is like a big roar and can bite!
Really impressive to have one for look and for sound. It is very very special sound and behaviour, but have a lot of vintage essence, and remember a lot of the high quality sounding synthesizers from the early years, but adding modern connectivity with MIDI and standard CV/GATE with volt/octave norm.

A pleasure to have a very fine audio quality, clean and crispy, depth, with lot of dynamic range but at same time and old vintage essence. The frequency response is huge, with very low bottom and clean and vivid treble, low noise leaves, and the transients and fast times are fabulous. A wonderful balance between the classic old essences and sounding and modern and hi-fi details. Is very difficult to find a system with this personality, very unique.

All the modules are wonderful, but the triple resonator is incredible.

Here is an improvisation demo showing the melodic features, using it in a multi-timbral way, with different sequence sounds, basses, leads, percussions and noises, all in real time. For make that I use the Antonus Step Brother for take all the profit of the possibilities. The combination of the Technosaurus with the Step Brother is awesome, only need to use adapters from minijack to 1/4 jacks. Just direct sound, no post processing, no EQ, no multitrack.
