"As is usual with these, the high gloss end cheeks are not as beautiful as they once were. This also has one repaired key. But it's a great and fairly rare synth, boosted by the brilliant Tauntek firmware upgrade: http://www.tauntek.com/AX80.htm . Just provide your own IEC mains lead. VEMIA will collect and pack this heavy, fragile synth beautifully: 30GBP."
"Ever since I came back home I've been pushing out tracks non stop. finally got something of a workflow going it seems. Not looking forward to editing it all later but thats another story.

BHSTS / REUNION by Colin Benders / compositional analysis
"Last weekend I was asked to do a full ambient show with no drums, so I got creative with some patch ideas and stumbled upon a feature I had never used before... let's see how deep we can go with this! expect lots of polyphony and wild sequences, things can get crazy today...!
Go ahead and have some fun with the 'Prignalia' stems: https://linktr.ee/colinbenders

_________________________________
Sole but far-from-lonely emperor of a monster 243-module rack, genre-unbound sound explorer, modular mad scientist to the bone, call him whatever you like it’s a fact: Dutch wave-tumbler Colin Benders defies the conventions of so easily tag-slapped electronics as much as his music confronts gravity itself. Untamed and unshackled from today’s main line of tepid production behaviourism, striving in an artistic lane truly his own, Benders has completely veered off the grand street's accepted modus operandi to operate his gear and imagination in utterly innovative fashion.
Having garnered a more than solid experience of the first-hand musician-to-listener experience, Benders keeps on cutting new trails for live electronics, away from drowsy standards and mimetic attitudes. Instead, the Dutch performer pledges to rethink our whole consumption and digestive process of music through lengthy, free-jazz-like momentums to lose your mind and body to. The knowledge and time spent perfecting his craft both apart and before his online audience shines through these patched-up symphonies of boisterous sine-waves, all-engulfing lo-end swells and hair-raising crescendos that have already conquered the likes of Dekmantel, Awakenings, ADE and Berghain.

"Its done!!!
The synth is up and running! after 3 weeks of chaos and many more of evading the task, I finally have the layout I always wanted... time for a quick recap! I'll take you through the steps of how I approached the eurorack design of my monstersynth in this final vlog entry of my build series.
if you're interested in the layout and have a look at the guts of this gargantuan thing, follow these links!
"Another RAW video! No edits, no post-processing, just me cooking some stuff LIVE for you so you can follow along with all the good moments and the oopsy ones too!
I’m using the BINOME DRUM SYSTAMA again, but this time we’re exploring the classic techno rumble kick, the HEAAVYYY SOVAGE way, of course!
Ingredients:
• 1x BINOME
• 1x FAILLE TEMPORELLE
• 1x FONTE (you can use any mult and inverter)
• 1x MELEE (you can use any mono mixer, but you’ll miss the extra grit)
And we jump straight into an unavoidable freestyle jam right after the setup.
Enjoy the video and feel free to copy the recipe to your own taste. Looking forward to hearing your results!

"The RK006 is a tiny true connecting powerhouse. MIDI Outputs are multi function, they can switch from MIDI to GATE or even PWM(CV) signals.
It has 10 built-in presets you can use for practical use cases. This short video demonstrates one of them: the conversion of MIDI to DINSync. DINSync (or Sync24) is an older synchronisation protocol used by various classic drumcomputers like the TR808 and TR606.
With the RK006 website or settings app you can even design your own port configuration if you have special conversions in mind. It works standalone for your live setup but is also directly accessible from a DAW when you use the RK006 as a USB MIDI Interface.
