via this eBay listing

"This is the highly sought-after Patch Panel CV version (not the MIDI version, although midi connection is easily obtained through any cv to midi converter), making it ideal for Eurorack, modular, and vintage CV/Gate systems while retaining the unmistakable Oberheim SEM sound."

via this eBay listing

"The elusive Oberheim OB-1. One of the RAREST synthesizers in existence. According to my research, ONLY 250-500 units were ever made!

I am sure if you are looking at this ad you know what it is. This is an extremely rare opportunity to get your hands on one, especially one in this condition! It is a museum grade, and in exceptional condition. It comes in its vintage carrying chest (we will box the chest, to protect it)."

"SIDE PANELS UPGRADED TO REAL WOOD!!! This gem’s side panels (end-caps) have been replaced by a pair of beautiful (Made in America) CUSTOM-BUILT SOLID MAHOGANY WOODEN PANELS!

This transformation makes it look 10 times better and protects it from shocks/damages, and it also makes it much more stable when placed on its side.

Upgraded EPRoms to Revision 11 of OS"

Poly Rave 👾 (Waldorf PROTEIN // Roland TR-6S // JU-06A // Moog DFAM // Squarp HAPAX)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"This time, I'm introducing a new instrument to the setup: the Waldorf Protein, used here for the CHORDS 🎹

The rest of the setup is made of a Roland JU-06A for the BASS, a Roland TR-6S for the DRUMS (no samples used, only ACB analog behavior engine with mainly the TR-808 model) and, for some additional percussion, the only analog instrument in the setup: the good Moog DFAM 🤩

Everything is sequenced by the Squarp Hapax, with quite a few things happening behind the scenes as usual.
MIDI LFOs are used to modulate some parameters of the TR-6S, while automation takes care of changing parameters on the JU-06A during the performance.

This time I also decided to use the Hapax's physical MIDI ports rather than relying on USB MIDI:
MIDI A : Roland TR-6S
MIDI B : Roland JU-06A
MIDI D (TRS) : Waldorf PROTEIN

And then there's the DFAM... which, as usual, refuses to speak MIDI. 😄
Since the DFAM doesn't have a MIDI input, I sent very short Gate pulses from the Hapax (Track 11) to simulate an audio clock, allowing its internal sequencer to advance in sync with the rest of the setup.

So, quite a lot going on behind what hopefully sounds like a relatively simple piece of music!

Another little experiment in making several machines behave together without making the whole thing look like a NASA control room 😄

As always, the performance itself was recorded in a single take. I do the mixing and mastering afterwards in Ableton Live."

Walrus Audio Lum Texture Engine

video upload by Duskmos

"Today I'm taking a look at the Lüm from Walrus Audio - a granular texture engine that is part grain engine, part reverb, part tripped out mega multi-headed dotted delay type situation. It's a wild pedal that fills the silence between notes with tons of flair. Hang out while I give it a look with the OP-1 Field. Let me know what you think in the comments!"

PULSAR-23 and the PULSAR-23 1984 Limited Edition

video upload by SOMA Laboratory

"Inspired by the industrial atmosphere of 1980s sci-fi and the iconic '1984' theme, this edition features a stunning polished-steel chassis and a striking red LED scheme. It comes in a stark all-black carrying case with special red-white-and-black alligator clips and a typewritten certificate of authenticity, completing the industrial-dystopian vibe.

Technical Upgrades:
New oscillator design for the BD that produces an asymmetrically clipped triangle wave that can be overdriven to a square wave with the Drive knob.
Tune knob range expanded.
OMG pin is now an AC coupled FM input.
Also incorporates a new filter for the BASS section based on the polivoks filter.

And this is already available from SOMA US Division and limited quatity for SOMA EU."

The Gritty 80s Digital Synth Nobody Talks About | Kawai K1m

video upload by Ian Dixon

"The Kawai K1m is a 1988 digital synth module with no resonant filters and no built-in effects, but it still has a distinctive late-80s character that makes it much more interesting than the spec sheet suggests.

In this video I take a first look at my Kawai K1m, explore the four-source sound architecture, PCM samples, additive-style wave building, joystick control, factory presets, multi mode and external effects, then try building a new patch from scratch.

Chapters:
00:00 Why the Kawai K1m is interesting
00:24 K1m overview and why I bought it
01:38 Dry sound and synth architecture
02:28 Four-source patches and muting parts
03:20 Waves, PCM samples and additive-style synthesis
05:10 Drum samples and looped waveforms
06:55 Programming controls, envelopes and joystick
07:59 Polyphony and the gritty K1m character
08:56 Factory sounds and D-50-style bells
09:59 Vocal sounds, effects and Miami Vice references
12:56 Editing patches with the software editor
14:10 Multi mode and layered performances
15:02 Building a new K1m patch
17:57 Is the Kawai K1m worth buying today?
19:08 What should I do next with the K1m?"

why the WALDORF PROTEIN sounds like 1989 INDUSTRIAL?

video upload by Tonepusher

"In this video, I explore the digital character of the Waldorf Protein, its unique wavetable synthesis, and how it brings back the iconic sound of the Waldorf Microwave. Discover why its imperfections are exactly what make it so interesting for industrial, EBM, and dark electronic music."
