Additional Analog U.S. Listings

"This set is in very good condition and working 100%. It has just been professionally serviced and with some restoration. It has a custom foot-switch installed, so you will never need to clean the pedal contacts again. This modification (not visible) uses the original connector and has no ugly, irreversible holes drilled into the unit. It will be properly packaged when sold and will arrive in the condition as stated. Proof of the actual shipping cost will be provided if needed. Although this listing is marked as a US sale only, I will ship to most countries. If you're overseas and interested, please send me a message. Not sold as-is!

Cosmetically- Nothing is mint in my opinion and this one is no exception. Apart from chassis and pc boards being cleaned up, all of the black anodized screws have been replaced and the pedals have been cleaned/ polished.

Internally- Apart from any repairs, the unit has been disassembled and cleaned, all sliders, switches, jacks, and potentiometers have been cleaned, all electrolytic capacitors replaced including the power supply, the power supply rectifiers and voltage regluators have been replaced, some 4700 logic ICs replaced, some trimmers replaced, all screws and hardware tightened, has a new custom foot-switch assembly installed, and its been completely scaled & calibrated. I might be forgetting a few things so this may be updated."

KORG Berlin phase8: first jam (full)


video upload by Freaky Tweaky

"My KORG Berlin Phase 8 finally arrived today!

It's quite sensitive to vibrations (almost as sensitive as a turntable), so I'm wondering if it would be difficult to use it directly in a club live performance. However, even just considering it for music production, I feel it's a special synthesizer. I really love it.

There's a real magic to the harmonic and pitch changes when you place small objects on it just right…

Next, I'm going to try playing it with a drum machine."

MPC Sample: Deep hypnotic techno. First attempt at a live jam


video upload by SynthDad

"I bought an MPC Sample for fun jamming so after a few hours of playing with it this is my first attempt at a deep hypnotic techno jam. Little rough around the edges in places, but hey that's live music for you!

Thinking about how I might pair it with a small portable modular setup. It's lacking some key features (step sequencer being one of them) but if I combine it with my Oxi One that's not an issue."

The Buchla 246 took a break for this session, and no longer using a mixer module!👌🏽

Hope you enjoy it! 🤙🏼

Hexdrums cranked, compressed & gated (no talk)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"Compressor hiss? Meh, the world's full of noise and hiss. Levels pushed, why not? Some limiting on the output - sure. We're just having fun here, not trying to educate anyone on noise levels or production techniques. And as usual this video has completely mutated from its original form. The intention was to show the new Nightverb gated reverb option and blather on about drum machines. Then I started playing with Hexdrums' compressor. So instead of my long diatribe on drum machine programming I chopped that all out and just kept the actual drums.

Compressor's aren't my thing. Yet with the Hexdrum compressor I had fun. Pushed past noon it will start giving an audible hissy noise floor but if you're cranking lots of other things that that just disappears :D If I was making an album track I'd probably try to get rid of it but for now every noise is welcome.

On the routing: Voice 1 (bass drum 1) and Voice 3 (snare) are on separate outs and are completely dry - although I was severely temped to do some processing on them. All the other voices go to the Hexdrums stereo out, then to the Nightverb on the gated reverb option; then to the Echolocator. With either effect unit turned to 100% wet it's up to the dry voices 1 & 3 to keep things together.

At times I turn up the release on Voice 2 (bass drum 2) and that's what upsets the compressor and holds it open so long that the gated reverb doesn't get a turn.

The main reason I like this setup is that you can get variations on a single drum pattern without having to program any new drum patterns :)

The main out from the DAW has some mild limiting to catch stray spikes but otherwise this is an unedited one-pass twiddlefest.

Many thanks to my kind patrons who keep this channel ad-free
