Adam B. from Kraft Music plays the Korg Modwave module (with Keystage controller), showing a variety of sounds. Korg Modwave builds on the legacy of the cult-favorite DW-8000 digital wavetable synth from 1985 and transforms it into a modern monster synth. Incredibly deep wavetable oscillators, gorgeous filters, wildly flexible modulation, unmatched polyphony, comprehensive pattern sequencing, and immediately satisfying hands-on control allow Modwave to deliver unique, powerful, and easily customizable sounds and phrases. Modwave also includes two unique tools for creating dynamic motion: Kaoss Physics, which combines an x/y Kaoss pad with modulatable game physics to create a responsive, interactive controller, and Motion Sequencing 2.0, which brings the organic, continuously evolving patterns of the Wavestate's Wave Sequencing 2.0 into the world of motion sequencing to create complex and evolving phrases.
Korg Keystage is the ultimate MIDI keyboard solution for producers and stage performers, putting unparalleled integration and control at your fingertips. Featuring a keybed with outstanding touch response, Polyphonic/Channel Aftertouch and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) compatibility, Keystage offers hands-on control and instant visual feedback through its parameter-dedicated OLED screens.
Get more for your money with an exclusive Korg Modwave wavetable synthesizer bundle from Kraft Music. These package deals include the accessories you'll need to get the most out of your new synth, all for one low price. If you have any questions, please contact us. Our knowledgeable Sales Advisors will be happy to assist in choosing the bundle that's right for you!"
Sequential Prophet 10 REV4 and Rhodes Piano | ambient improvisation

"My family and I went on vacation this week and had a great time. Some things came up at work and frustratingly, I feel I wasn't entirely as present as I'd have liked to have been. Kind of ruined a lot of things for me, but, despite that we had fun.
My oldest daughter, as usual, wanted a stuffy. We went to a store and she decided she wanted to wait to get something at a different place (because she usually liked the stuffed animals there. So later that day we drove down and - to her dismay - the new stuffed animals there were for little kids. We asked how she could tell, but she said she could. She did not want them. But we didn't have time to go back to the other place (since this was a restaurant and we were going to be eating dinner and the other place would be closed). I drove back up afterwards, looking for any place that might sell something similar, but nowhere did. The next day we knew a snow storm was coming in, a huge one. So she was very sad that we wouldn't be able to go back - but I was proud of her for two reasons: 1) She was able to hold off getting something now for the hopes of something better. 2) She didn't just grab something at the second place, because she knew she didn't want those. And although she cried and was very sad, she did not get something there. I was proud of her for that.
The next morning, we decided to go out in the storm and we did end up getting that stuffy for her. I got her something extra too because I was proud of her for waiting.
As for this track - well, I'm trying to see - do I really need that SX-240? Just because it's pretty? Basically, I have found the Prophet 10 actually does sound almost identical to the SX-240. As cool/nice as it is, I can't just keep all this stuff. There's just too much stuff here and I can make the same or better stuff without some of these synths in my studio.

VEMIA is Peter Forrest's auction house. He is the author of The A-Z of Analogue Synthesizer Books.
"A GX1 is an iconic instrument in any condition, but this one has had the benefit of Colin (Sequentix) Fraser's close attentions over many years. It was bought by Richard James [Aphex Twin] at VEMIA many years ago from Mickie Most's studio. It spent some years in his studio, until it was transported to Colin and eventually to his studio in Berlin, with the principal aim of getting it 100% working again and installing MIDI.
It is complete, with the main console, bench, pedals, two massive speakers, two programmers, and all cabling.
Working order: after some painstaking work at the Sequentix studio it is in full working order as envisaged by Yamaha all those years ago. The two original programmers attach to the Tone Board (patch CV controller) for the Solo keyboard. That board connects on an internal loop to the other manuals, so the programmers can be assigned to any manual for patch editing.
Under the surface there has been an incredible amount of work from Colin: he is in the process of producing a preliminary brochure for his MIDI retrofit, which makes fascinating reading and shows the depth of his exploration of the GX1's architecture - and his huge ability to problem-solve and create new possibilities as well. This brochure would of course be included with the GX1, along with all other literature available. It can also be emailed to prospective buyers on request via Peter Forrest.
At present the polyphonic manuals have full MIDI control. The Solo and Pedal manuals have external CV input Colin has been driving from Cirklon CV outputs. The Rhythm machine has external trigger inputs added, and they are being controlled by a Cirklon D-mux drum trigger module.
Extras: there are a lot of further permutations that could be arranged direct with Colin after the auction. This would depend on the new owner's wishes. For instance one person might want the GX1 as original as possible, and another might want bells and whistles - Colin has designed and prototyped a programmer for the extended sound capabilities he has envisaged, and if required, could extend the MIDI capabilities to the bass pedals.
Cosmetic condition: please see the photos. It is generally in gorgeous condition. The louvred flap on top of the keyboard seems to have some paint damage on the two inner sections, but that looks simple to remove to respray if necessary.
Transport: this is not as daunting as you might imagine. Colin has devised an excellent system for moving it, so that either transporting it by road or crating it for air or sea shipment will be well practicable and safe.
Extras: if the new owner is tempted by Colin's possible add-ons, such as his improved additional Sequentix GX1 Programmer, MIDI bass pedals, or other add-ons, these would be negotiated separately directly with him after the main auction payment."

Digitone II Easy Guide: Polymetric & Odd-Time Compositions
video upload by EZBOT
"Today I decided to push my limits—and my gear—by diving into the Digitone 2's arrange mode using the challenging yet inspiring time signature of 7/8. Honestly, it felt like a creative stress test, pushing the workflow to the edge to see what hidden gems might emerge. Will the complexity of odd rhythms, short patterns, and the arranger spark fresh ideas, or just lead to musical chaos? Either way, I'm excited to explore the possibilities!"

A Track With: Collide 4 - Joranalogue and Hainbach's Test Equipment Module
video upload by sonicstate
"The @joranalogue / @Hainbach collaboration module - Collide 4 has been out for a little while, Hainbach is building a new live rig based on four of them as they encompass some of his beloved and enormous test equipment gear, but in a way more practical 20HP format.
In this video, our resident modular artist @matthsmatthsmatths uses Collide 4 as the sole sound source and puts together a piece using just that plus some additional processing. Using both the Filter and the Oscillator plus the 8 separate outputs, there's a lot of tonal variation."
