"We paid our tech for the 6.5 hours of skilled labor required to make this Synare work, feel, and sound like new again.

We replaced all potentiometers with new ones for crackle free operation.
Replaced the rubber pad
Replaced transistors 2N3904 x2
Replaced electrolytic capacitors (8)
Cleaned unit inside and out.
Cleaned and lubed switches.
Replaced knobs with a new set.
Replaced the battery snaps.
Cleaned the jack.

In summary, we invested the time and money required to properly refurbish this unit and, as a result, it's functionally the best you’ll find anywhere, and justifiably priced higher than the rest because you won't have to make excuses for a lesser example or pay someone else to do this work and wait who knows how long. The selling commissions we are charged here are added into our prices here."

"A track recorded many years ago using solely presets, custom sounds and use of the D Beam from the Roland V Synth. If you'd like the project file for the sounds used, email me at jmp701@sky.com"

Airwave plays with (almost) everything

video upload by ROLI

"When we first came up with Airwave, it was only intended to work with ROLI instruments — but you asked for wider compatibility, and we delivered. In this recently unearthed archive footage, our social media manager Omar sets out to prove the point with a conveyor belt of musical and (not-so-musical) items."

Doepfer A-188-9 High Speed VCO - Audio Demo

video upload by Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH

"Over the last month, we have been recording videos for our Instagram channel. Here is a compilation of some of the clips!

In the video, the A-121-S stereo filter is mainly used as an end-of-chain filter. In combination with the A-149-4 quad random voltage source, it is possible to add modulation to the stereo field.

The feedback path was often patched in the clips, for example with a bandpass filter that had high resonance. This can lead to some pretty crazy sounds, as you can hear!

Another interesting thing to try is playing really high or low notes. Some of these the BBD is unable to track, which results in some quite nice glitches.

The A-188-9 and A-188-1 BBD combo offers a wide range of sound possibilities and often produces happy accidents. It's totally worth trying!

Questions? Let us know!

Module A-188-9 is a so-called high speed VCO that tracks prefectly to the 1V/oct scale in the frequency range of about 15kHz ... 500 kHz. The main application is the exact drive of BBD modules (A-188-1/2) to generate sounds realized by means of the so-called Karplus-Strong synthesis. But even in cooperation with other modules featuring high speed inputs (e.g. digital noise, delay, frequency divider) the A-188-9 makes sense. In principle, the module is made of a precision audio VCO followed by a PLL (phase locked loop) unit that multiplies the frequency of the audio VCO by 32. Thus the module can be used also as an audio VCO as it features the standard waveforms sawtooth, triangle and rectangle with adjustable pulse width."

"This video provides a detailed overview of a patch from the upcoming patchbook.

It features a sync patch with ring modulation. The video explains different sounds and routing options using the A-138j Janus Mixer in detail.

In this video, the system is sequenced from an external device and processed in a DAW."

Doepfer Basic System 3

video upload by Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH

"The basic system from Doepfer is a return to Dieter Doepfer's original vision of analogue modular synthesis. Modules can be connected via front panel audio and CV connectors and used in infinite combinations. The Basic System 3 is an easily accessible and well-structured system that can be used by enthusiasts and beginners alike.

This video demonstrates various patches on the system. Videos of the individual sound examples will follow shortly.

In this video, the system is sequenced from an external device and processed in a DAW."

BlueARP DM + Roland SC88, 'øneheart x reidenshi snowfall' cover

video upload by graywolf2004ru

"Recreation of the track 'øneheart x reidenshi - snowfall' on BlueARP DM and Roland SC88. Everything was sequenced on BlueARP DM (not even using the ctrl app). Also BlueARP DM holds all the program changes, sysEx messages like volume and effect levels for each part (via AUTOMATION functionality).

The audio narration is taken from • The Silence Of The Snow - Winter Poem
The Silence of the Snow, a winter poem by Ruth Velenski
I stretched it a bit, aligned to the music and added some delay & reverb.

This is my first try of this famous 'slow & reverb' genre, hope you enjoy )"
