"Manufacturer's description
The EssenceFM is a powerful 300-voice polyphony 16-part multitimbral FM synthesizer with a modern touchscreen interface, built-in effects, separate outputs and more. It turns FM synthesis into a fun and enjoyable experience. Create your own sounds faster than on any other synthesizer!
With its incredible sound layering capabilities (up to 128 layers per note), the EssenceFM excels at rich sound textures. Each voice also has its own digital multimode filter and 6-slot modulation matrix that allows real-time control over 200+ parameters."

"The K4 from Kawai can be thought of as a warm and fuzzy digital synthesizer. A sample-based digital synth, its sounds are those typically weird industrial type sounds that can still be useful in lo-fi, big-beat and trip hop music styles. The sounds are 16-bit preset PCM samples of acoustic instruments. However, unlike its predecessor the K1, the K4 adds a welcomed digital filter section. This truly makes the K4 more flexible, fun and useful for today's filter tweaking music effects!
The XD5 is an awesome drum synth module that has 256 waveforms, four of which can be combined to create a drum sound. It also has great resonant lowpass filters and envelopes for shaping the sounds and is excellent for techno, electro and industrial drums. For effects, a delay type effect is possible as well as a ring-modulator. It also has stereo outputs plus 6 individual outs for the studio pros. Mouse On Mars might use it.
The MM16 is a multi-purpose MIDI data processor with 17 front panel faders. Each of the sliders can be assigned for continuous controller information over any one of 16 MIDI channels, a "velocity mode" that uses the 16 sliders to become a "graphic EQ" for velocity data, and a system exclusive mode for transmitting system exclusive information to control individual synthesizer functions. Setups are included for Kawai K1, K4, K5, Yamaha DX7, and Roland D50. The MM16 can merge two MIDI signals, and can perform MIDI channelizing. You can also use it as a control surface for DAWS"
"After a couple of 'unboxing' posts, I’ve been asked, by my friends, if it can sounds in my Berlin School style, or can make some ambient sounds.
So, here it is, on my second day with the Moog Mesenger, my sequencing style, PART ONE. I already made a few custom patches, (and updated it to the latest firmware - and now my volume knob works also for the main output! 0_o), so it’s gone rain with demos of it!
How does it feel? Like a Moog, of course: sturdy metal enclosure, no flimsy knobs, great keybed.
🎹 Want some ambient patches?! 👉 https://www.albaecstasy.ro
My opinion: grab one while the price is low, you won’t regret!
At least, Moog never drop in value!
Tell your wife, your girlfriend, your mother, that is an investment!"
"Buchla Modular Synth Sample Pack https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
An inquiry into timbre shaped by the circuitry of a singular electronic instrument
A system built for exploration
From the earliest prototypes crafted by Don Buchla, these instruments were conceived as tools for acoustic research. Instead of following keyboard based conventions, Buchla systems were designed as laboratories for voltage relationships, spectral motion and dynamic control of timbre. Performers were encouraged to treat sound as a fluid material. Each patch functioned as an experiment in how signals could bend, collide or dissolve within a responsive electronic environment.

This sample pack carries that spirit forward through recordings made with the Buchla Music Easel Modern. It offers a survey of sonic behavior, inviting listeners to study the subtle warmth that emerges when complex oscillators interact. It highlights the characteristic percussive transients of low pass gates. It captures broadband noise shaped by minute spectral movements. It presents drones formed by slow feedback interactions and microscopic frequency shifts. The goal is to provide raw material for creators who wish to work closely with the textures that define this family of instruments."
"Classic 80s 8bit PCM drum machine, used in countless hits.
This particular unit was serviced:
- all electrolytic capacitors were replaced
- switches and pots were cleaned
- latest firmware eprom was installed (3.0)
- factory patterns were loaded
- MIDI interface was added, built using the original E-mu design. This allows you to trigger the 12 sounds over MIDI dynamically
- comes with 4x additional eproms containing the famous LinnDrum LM2 sounds. I made a video a few monthes ago comparing 2 drumulators with stock and linnDrum kit if you want to hear the difference (youtu.be/k_EuRlCi_Vk)
Works perfectly. Cosmetic it is in quite good condition with some scuffs here and there, and also 2 holes were drilled in the back from a previous owner (no idea what was the reason).
Unit is 230v."
