MultiWAVE MIDI | MakeNoise New Universal Synthesizer System | Episode 06

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Midi on the MulitWAVE is a big deal. It seems it just adds polyphony from your DAW or midi host, but how many keyboards do you know where you can actively control eight separate voices and put each voice in its own VCA, with its own modulation and FX? I know only one. And then you can still go hybrid and plug all kinds of CV in it.

It's also a big deal because you can make moving soundscapes which are either super hard or totally impossible with regular hardware keys. Sure you can use multiple instances of VST's in the daw, but that doesn't count because a PC is not a fair compare.

I am still waiting for my MIDI expander strip to arrive, so I 'broke the rules' by using a direct USB connection with Ground Control. MakeNoise does not support this due to all classic 'interference' problems with USB loops between controllers, hosts and output devices. The 'strip' mitigates those problems, and it offers a front panel input instead of running USB cables through places where they can't go. But this video was simply to short to wait for the strip to arrive. Next week the new GTE will also be here, so I'll stitch it up properly soon and try an MPE controller."

Bad Gear - The OG

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. By now it must have dawned on even the most terminally online late GenX/early millennial person that calling something The OG is cringe.

Today, however, we are going to talk about Novation Bass Station. This 1993 mono synth and predecessor to the incredibly popular Bass Station 2 is more than deserving of the title because A - it was one of the most important heralds of the 90s analog revival and B - it even got a little shoutout by The Wu Tang. Dolla Dolla Bills y’all.

Sequential Circuits Six-Trak song Pure VCO Analog 27.3.2026.

video upload by Veli-Matti Rautio

"Got new Eprom V14 to Six-Trak and changed it. Next was testing the synth's working and here is that test session. Arp & latch sound nr. 14, lead & bass sound 01. No additional effects used, only Six-Trak's pure single VCO analog sound. Sony FDR-AX43A video kamera. Composed, played live, arranged and improvised by me in Studio Tupos 27.3.2026. Nr. 1544.
Tilasin Ebay:stä Six-Trakiin uuden V14 Epromin. Vaihdoin sen paikalleen ja pitihän sitä testata, että toimiiko enää? En toki saanut Six-Trakin sekkaria synkkaamaan RX21 rumpalin ohjaukseen, mutta sentään soitto onnistui :) Arp & latch soundi nr. 14, soolo ja basso nr. 01. Sony FDR-AX43A kuvaajana."

⌬ SÉANCE W/ POLYGENE II ⌬

video upload by Somnambule

"Hi folks!

I invite you to a séance with the #polygene II ​⁠‪@genesynths‬

A slow-moving séance through shifting textures and obscure harmonics.

This ambient session with the Pogene II drifts between fragile tones and evolving atmospheres, dissolving structure into something hypnotic and otherworldly.

Headphones recommended.🖖

Very early Synthi A -1971! s/n 4118

Pic of the inside below.

"This auction is for an original 1971 Mk1 EMS Synthi A synthesiser, serial number 4118, in its Spartanite case. The case has a few marks and scratches as befitting a 55 year old instrument, but no chips or breaks. The latches, although showing some corrosion, work perfectly.
The Synthi front panel is one of the cleanest we’ve seen, being almost immaculate with virtually no panel marks and, unusually, no writing or marking absent or worn from the screen printing. In addition this example comes with the early chrome mirror finish knobs.

The internals are extremely clean and original with no modifications (see photo#4 now under the wrong thumbnail) and the unit has the genuine GE PA234 audio amplifier devices for the outputs and reverb.

The unit has been fully tested by one of the three or four people in the world who can call themselves EMS experts. It has been aligned and found to be working perfectly, and consequently given the original condition of the unit, no capacitors have been replaced. The original ones are working fine and show no signs of leakage or decay. However while the existing pots are electrically good with no scratchiness, some are a mechanically stiffer than current production models and the buyer might wish to have these replaced. This can be done at additional cost either here in the UK by EMS experts Lucid or by the buyer’s own engineer.

The Synthi comes with a full set of 20 patch pins and a new UK 240VAC mains lead (not shown). (Observant viewers may notice the absence of the usual Synthi A plastic name plate which usually adorns the outer case. This isn’t missing, but was simply never fitted as there are no holes for it, perhaps because of the early serial number. In addition the rear case is attached by four factory fitted screws and bushings, rather than the more usual arrangement of three)."
