"Keio Giken KORG-770

Compact 2VCO 32-key analog synthesizer.

Released in 1976 after the MINIKORG700, this model has 2 VCOs, noise, a built-in ring modulator, and a chorus-like mode for a surprisingly wide range of sound variations, and is a popular model partly due to its compact and cute wooden chassis.

Item rank: B : Fairly scratched and used, but no problems in normal use."

Vintage ARP Odyssey Mk I Black & Gold 2800 - Serviced w/ New Sliders SN 283036

"This vintage ARP Odyssey has just been serviced in October 2025 by Synthchaser - recapped, new key bushings, all new precision sliders, tuned and calibrated, and sounding awesome! The Odyssey was ARP's answer to the Minimoog, a feature packed scaled down version of the legendary ARP 2600. This Odyssey features the 4023 filter, a very fat 2 pole filter.

Despite appearances, this black & gold Odyssey is a Mk I (Model 2800) ARP Odyssey with an original 4023 filter, and no gate/CV interface jacks. It's equivalent to the white ARPs of the era, and different from the more common Black & Gold Mk II Odyssey.

The synth is in excellent condition with minor marks on the case. Work just completed on the synth included:

Synthchaser Precision slider upgrade - All 34 of the old original sliders have been replaced with new, smooth, high precision sliders. The difference in the way these sliders feel and perform compared to the originals is a huge improvement. They are fitted with original style slider caps.
Power supply rebuilt - All tantalum and electrolytic capacitors in the power supply have been replaced, and high quality, high temperature 105 deg C capacitors have been used for the power supply filter capacitors.
All tantalum capacitors replaced - The tantalum capacitors in ARP synths are ticking time bombs. All tantalum capacitors in this synth (except those in the sealed 4023 filter module) have been replaced with electrolytics to help provide stable operation for years to come.
Keyboard rebuild - New key bushings installed, keys cleaned, bus bars removed and polished.
Oscilloscope calibration - Calibrated & tuned using oscilloscope and frequency counter.
· 1/4" output made High - ARPs of this era had an RCA jack as the high output and the 1/4" jack as the low output. As today RCA jacks are an inconvenience for most, the 1/4" jack has been made to a second high output."

This Episode DIDN'T AGE SO WELL


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. More or less all synth nerds have their own temporal demarcation line between 'awesome old school Roland' and 'corporate grave robbers squeezing the last penny from iconic IPs'.

For me, this turning point might as well be the release of the 1999 JV-1010. This obvious insult to UI design combined classic ROMpler tones of the 90s with a workflow so abysmal it helped pave the way for the DAW revolution - and things only went downhill from there.

Korg Prophecy Demo | 90s Rave & Trance Preset Sounds (The Prodigy, The Orb)


video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"Today, I’m diving deep into the Korg Prophecy, the legendary 1995 synth that pushed boundaries with analog-style power, FM tones, and wild physical modeling — all packed into one compact digital beast. 🎹

This video is a personal journey through the Prophecy’s factory presets (A-00 through A-23), where I’ll show you why this monophonic synth became a favorite for 90s electronic pioneers like The Prodigy, The Orb, and even Radiohead. From punchy basses and expressive leads to brass, winds, and experimental textures, the Prophecy truly defined a new era of sound design.

Along the way, I’ll share some fun history, performance tricks, and why the Prophecy’s ribbon controller and modulation options made it one of the most expressive synths of its time."

Verbos Producer Configuration Modular Synth | Drone

The Science of Analog Drone Creation

Verbos Electronics has long been recognized for building modular systems that do not simply generate notes but reveal the raw behavior of electricity itself. The Producer Configuration is particularly suited for drone work, where harmonic layers shift slowly, filters carve unpredictable resonance fields, and subtle saturation becomes part of the sound structure. The results are thick yet soft textures that cannot be duplicated by other synthesizers.

In digital systems, sound often remains linear and predictable. With Verbos, saturation accumulates, harmonics drift, and the result is an organic density that becomes physical inside a mix. This is why experimental producers in techno, industrial, bass music, and electronic composition value these tones. They are not interchangeable with anything else.

Sample Pack 4.0 Update

The Verbos Modular Synth Sample Pack has now reached version 4.0, expanded with 33 new drones recorded directly from the Producer Configuration. These are not stylized imitations but raw analog captures, each carrying the unmistakable character of Verbos circuits.

To hear an example of the included atonal FM drone, listen here:"

BIG BOLD & BONKERS!! // WMD's limited edition Skorpion


video upload by DivKid

"Here’s the big, bold, beautiful and bonkers SKORPION from WMD. WMD state that Skorpion is the epitome of their ethos “New Sounds, Maximum Experience” and it’s packed with CV, ins and outs, all the controls you could dream of - and plenty we couldn’t dream of - taking us through a broad spectrum of subtle to chaos, massive harmonic range and it’s absolutely continuously explorable, a module to learn and take new things from for a long time.

Skorpion builds on William’s long pedigree of experimental module designs and Skorpion is no exception. It employs a new method of wavefolding, with 8 folders and a threshold and target system that creates a power vector of shaping. There’s masses on smart in built modulation and while all this might some complex, it delivers great sounds quickly and simply and then offers a whole world to explore, much like a massive modular system of functions behind one well laid out panel."
