"Restored vintage red Roland SH-101. New power switch, recap and calibration. Power button was replaced a few years ago. If you touch it while the unit is on you'll hear pitch wobble. That said, unit is tuned and holds absolute pitch from F1-C6. The filter and amp envelopes are calibrated as well. Sounds incredible. Recently texted with C batteries, works great

Two things of note: I removed the dust covers on both units in the transpose and LFO section. Personal preference. The red unit has a unique mod wheel that was modified by the previous owner to have a very satisfying mechanical 'click' when out the mod stick up to trigger the LFO. I've owned and serviced over a dozen 101s and never encountered another like it."

Original SEM vs Behringer—Which Reigns Supreme?


video upload by Memetune Studio

"A basic comparison between a vintage Oberheim SEM and a Behringer 2-XM

The idea is to see if the VCO, VCF and envelopes sound and behave the same, or are there subtle differences that mean that I won't be selling my Four Voice any time soon 😉"

Moog Muse -nature sounds, woodwinds and pads


video upload by Brian Schaft

"A song that incorporates a some of the Muse's smoothness. Done almost entirely with the Muse, except for the crow call- which is the 3rd Wave."

This Looper Hits Differently. But Why?


video upload by Synthux Academy

"In this video, I’ll show how we designed Spotykach - a looping playground designed to feel alive, responsive, and intuitive. Gesture, response, light, and sound all come together to make looping more like playing an acoustic instrument than scrolling through menus.

This sample pack is a tribute to the iconic Roland MC-303, a machine that helped define the DIY electronic sound of the late 1990s. Originally released as an all-in-one groovebox, the MC-303 offered a bold vision for accessible music-making, with digital tones that felt futuristic yet playful. Even if you have never used the original hardware, this pack brings its spirit to life through carefully curated sounds designed for modern workflows.

The New King Of LoFi Sampling By Brüel & Kjaer...wait what?


video upload by HAINBACH

Don't miss the follow-up video here.

"I thought I had seen it all in my 'will it music' test equipment journey. Then I stumbled upon the Brüel & Kjaer 7502 Digital Event Recorder and my mind was blown. They accidentally (?) designed a wonderful lofi pitch shifting echo, that allows for extreme effects. It can even be played as a keyboard controlled sampler with a range wide enough to turn everything into digital dust. An absolute gem and worth saving from the trash heap that all these instruments end up sooner or later.
