"This legendary drum box has been fully serviced to perfection, ensuring it performs just like it did back in the day, if not better. Don't let the blemishes in it's paint fool you. This TOM Drum Machine has been fully gone through from top to bottom. Nothing has been left to chance. Totally rebuilt to function beyond brand new.

Here's what makes it a must-have:

"This is not your typical Emulator III. This unit has been meticulously refurbished over dozens of hours, sparing no expense, and thoroughly tested, and is working great. RS-442 interface and external SCSI devices were not tested since we don't have external devices for testing. We see no reason for them not to work but only because we didnt test them, we cant guarantee it. Will be packed right to arrive intact. Will ship internationally."

"Vintage Analog Goodness.. Oberheim Matrix 1000 White Panel in great working condition, no operational issues. It all works great, sounds amazing and looks just stunning! This is just by far the best oberheim for the money. Classic rich pads, strings, brass, basses, leads all for a low price considering how much OB8, OBXA, Xpanders are selling for nowadays. You can edit these with various software editors, apps, or external controllers readily available. Great score for a rare and lush Oberheim!

Behringer Grind: 50 Dark Modular Patches+Patterns. Jam Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"🧿 Encrypted Pulse is a collection of 50 patches for the semi-modular synthesizer Behringer Grind. The bank includes: 11 Basses, 12 Leads, 12 Plucks, and 15 Chords.
⚙️ The centerpiece of Grind is its multi-mode oscillator — a powerful and flexible sound source capable of generating a wide variety of tones. This collection was born from an exploration of that oscillator’s potential in combination with the synth’s other sections and the patchbay.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/grin...

🔮 In this collection, I aimed to create dark, noisy, gritty, and sometimes atonal presets suitable for genres such as techno, ambient, IDM, industrial, deep, house, progressive, downtempo, breaks, drum 'n' bass, and others.

Creative Cross Modulating Eurorack Filters // Double Bubble by Thonk Synth


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have a new Eurorack DIY stereo filter from Thonk Synth. It's a stereo analogue multi mode filter made for creative modulation. Whether it's dual parallel channels, series filer routings, mono to stereo, stereo in and out or even mono filtering with a separate filter modulator (a filter modulator? What? - heads up, it's ace!). Check out the patches below."



"Double Bubble is a 16HP Eurorack dual analog multi‑mode filter designed for creative sound design and flexible signal processing. Each channel features an analog filter core that can operate in one of four modes – Low‑Pass, High‑Pass, Band‑Pass, or Notch. The input of Channel A is normalled to Channel B so its easy to create stereo filter patches from a mono sound source.

The two channels of Double Bubble can run as independent dual mono filters or be linked together for stereo operation. The filters can also be routed in serial configuration to create more complex signal paths such as a variable width bandpass or notch phasing effects. The SPACING control and wide range of CV inputs give deep modulation possibilities such as dynamic formant style filtering.

The FEEDBACK and XMOD (cross‑modulation) controls add further interaction between the two channels, ranging from subtle harmonic enhancement at low settings to more extreme, self‑modulating textures when increased. The dedicated V/OCT inputs for each channel allow the filters to function as FM oscillators or tone sources when pushed into self‑oscillation. This flexibility allows the Double Bubble to cover a wide range of roles, from precision cascading filter patches to dynamic stereo filtering and experimental feedback adventures!

Features:

Dual analog VCF with LP, HP, BP & Notch outputs
Resonance control per channel with switchable compensation
Mono, serial, parallel, stereo link routing options.
Cross modulation (XMod), FM and V/oct inputs per channel
Feedback with positive & negative phase
Frequency Offset Spacing with CV control
LED indicators for visual feedback on modulation and modes.
Designed in-house at Thonk"

YAMAHA TQ5 Bass


video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"TQ5 Sysex Bass Presets: FMWarpBass.syx, TriRave.syx & OldDubStep.syx from https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

Raw FM textures for forward-thinking bass music producers
This pack captures the unmistakable character of Yamaha’s late 1980s 4-operator FM synths, with all their sharp digital edges and lo-fi charm intact. The TQ5, often hidden in the shadow of its more famous siblings, holds a unique place in synthesis history. It delivers angular, glassy tones that feel both futuristic and retro, with a sound design potential that quietly laid the groundwork for timbres now celebrated in modern club music.

Created for producers who care about texture, this collection offers bass and drum sounds with a distinct edge. Artifacts, aliasing, and resolution quirks are not just preserved but embraced, giving each sample a bite that generic VSTs rarely achieve."
