Mors aliquid novi | A Prophet VS and acoustic 12-string guitar ambient improvisation soundscape


video upload by MIDERA

"Earlier this month I managed to replace the bone saddle in my 12 string guitar. I guess years of messing with the saddle (as well as expansion contraction in the basement gloom) caused it to deteriorate to a point where the strings wouldn't touch it and it sounded horrible. I've had this guitar since 2001, so somewhere around 14 years. It's felt nice to bring it back to that feeling of new, even though it was never well cared for. I just love the feel and sound of it. These videos where I even mention a guitar usually do distinctly awful. I guess the idea of mixing guitar with synths just rubs people the wrong way. But I liked it.

MOSS 101 RISC V Synthesizer demo and walkthrough


video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"This is the MOSS 101 VA mono #synthesizer , created by Andrew March, a 2 oscillator #instrument that can create and stack pulse- and saw waves and also modulate them with an XOR logic module. There's a successful Kickstarter campaign https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... that's still on for some days if you're interested. In this video, I play 2 demos and walk through the manual.

Waldorf Pulse & Pulse 2 - Don Solaris Soundset


video upload by Don Solaris

"Available at: https://www.donsolaris.com/?page_id=3633

Why DCOs? Unlike traditional VCOs (voltage-controlled oscillators), DCOs maintain consistent pitch and phase – which may sound like a subtle difference, but in practice, it’s key to achieving harder, tighter, and more aggressive bass. DCO-based synths like the Pulse don’t drift or smear. They hit with precision, punch, and presence, which is especially crucial when you want bass that stays locked in with your drums and doesn’t fall apart under compression or saturation."

"Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard in excellent condition. Encoder version with updated boards.

Main Board: 2.2 Voice board: 2.2 DSP Board: 3.5

I'm the second owner, and both studios were non-smoking. No gigging with this one.

This is a special synth from a very special manufacturer. Dave Smith, from designing the famous Prophet 5 to his defining the MIDI spec, really dedicated himself to producing unique and capable instruments and technologies. This Poly Evolver is one of those. Full Specs below but the fact that this is a hybrid synth, combining analog and digital synthesis, with incredible modulation and built-in sequences, show the mind of genius Dave Smith.

Also the purple heart wood is an beautiful accent for this particular synth."

"Manufacturer description:

The MFB Dominion Club features two VCOs plus sub oscillators, a digital sound source and a noise generator. Additionally, there are Xor and sync stages. The synthesis section is followed by a -24 dB multimode filter with self-oscillation. The modulation department is composed of two ADSR envelopes and two LFOs with one-shot and reset options. Furthermore, the Dominion Club comes equipped with an Arpeggiator and a sequencer. The latter offers two modes of operation plus motion recording. Oscillators, LFOs and filter possess morphing capabilities. All contained in a compact module format."

"In good condition,with ide hard drive,and ram expansion,capacity shown in photos. Includes power cable. Back panel is missing expansion cover,and as is common on these models, one or two of the rotary encoders(data knobs) can be finicky."

RF dawless jam 147bpm


video upload by Radical Frequencies Modular

"Patch: Bass is the Dpvco mixing the alpha square with beta saw slightly detuned into the RF transistor mixer and into SH Vcf. The decay of the envelope filter is voltage controlled by Lucky Voltages giving a bit more groove.
The lead is a simple saw into the Diode Dream Vcf which can make internal fm from Vcf input to the filter cv frequency. This resonance sounds so bubbly and glassy with beautiful mid high frequencies!
All drums are from different sources mostly analog mixing into a vintage 70s mixer. The jam is directly recorded into daw. Sequencing is done with Beatsteppro."
