Ultra Rare Rhodes Chroma, Expander and Enabler Fully Functional and Serviced SN 21030798

via this Reverb listing

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"This absolute madlad is a collaboration between Rhodes, ARP and Redshift, creating one of the most crazy synthesizers we've ever had in our shop. While the Chroma is a great synthesizer on its own, the expander and enabler make it even more special/easy to use. While you don't have 32 voices of polyphony when linked, you can have 16 notes polyphony with two seperate pitches per voice. 64 weighted and velocity sensitive keys give you plenty of room for expression. With the Enabler's knob per function layout and the ultra rare Expander's extra voices give you some massive sounding pads. The expander and chroma connect with an Apple IIe interface, and the cabling needed is included with the synth. There's also a sustain pedal which we've never seen with any of our other Chromas.

Fully fuctional and just serviced by our synth tech. This is a very rare find. Shipping will be via U-Ship to ensure safe delivery. Do not miss your chance to grab this elusive machine. We most likely will not have another set like this come through."

via this Reverb listing

"One of a kind- Arp 2600 2601 MKII Including 3620 Keyboard. All upgrades performed by Arp synth master Phil Cirocco At Discrete Synthesizers. I bought this from John McEntire at Soma Studios (Tortoise, Sea and Cake) around 2010. It is a sound design dream machine. Downsizing my studio and very sad to see this go. Cosmetically in good condition- has a few scuffs on the tolex on the back of the unit, as well as the bottom front ride side (pictured).

A few notable upgrades performed by Phil at Discrete Synthesizers-

POWER SUPPLY REBUILD
AUDIO PATH UPGRADE PACKAGE
17 INCH REVERB TANK
VCA MODULE UPGRADE
ENVELOPE GENERATOR RANGE TIME EXPANDER SWITCHES
VCO OCTAVE SWITCHES
AR ENVELOPE GENERATOR UPGRADE
1/4 INCH LINE LEVEL JACKS
24Db DUAL MODE FILTER - MODEL 2621(no longer available)
VCO / 4 CHANNEL MIXER - MODEL 2627 (no longer available)

International shipping is too unpredictable due to tariffs. If you are very interested please DM me and we can see if it makes sense."

Knock Out 🎚️(Teenage Engineering K.O.-Sidekick EP-136 // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S-1 // J-6)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"A new little piece of gear joins the setup! 🎛️

This time, I'm introducing the Teenage Engineering KO II Sidekick EP-136 , a small but surprisingly powerful little mixer, and a very welcome addition to the setup.

And this one is a little different from my last jams: there's no external sequencers like the Squarp Hapax or Arturia Keystep Pro involved! 😄

Instead, I'm using the built-in sequencers of all 3 instruments in the setup: the MFB Tanzbär , Roland S-1 and *Roland J-6*. It's actually quite refreshing to let the instruments take care of their own sequences for once.

The Tanzbär is on Channel 1 , bringing its punchy analog drums to the party. Channel 2 is shared by the Roland S-1 and *Roland J-6*: the J-6 handles the bass and chords, while the S-1 also provides the lead chimes during the intro.

The problem? The Sidekick only has *2 stereo channels*.

So, naturally, I had to cheat a little. 😄

Touch Synterra: Add Your Body Resistance : Vaemi #hardware #organic #synthesizer #generative

video upload by Vaemi

"Touch Synterra: Add Your Body Resistance

The area in the center of Synterra is a conductive surface. By simply touching this area, you can easily incorporate your own body resistance into the patch.
In the video, Synterra’s designers, Tunç and Efe Çakır, take turns touching the instrument. You can hear how the sequencer responds differently, and how the resulting output changes, due to the difference between the body resistance of two different people."

YMO SOLID STATE SURVIVOR → RYDEEN A&M STUDIO LIVE 1980 cover

video upload by Jimmy5820

"YMO 'SOLID STATE SURVIVOR → RYDEEN'

A&M STUDIO LIVE 1980をイメージして、音色・演奏・映像を自分なりに再現しました。

今回は、SOLID STATE SURVIVORからRYDEENへ続く流れを一本の演奏動画として制作しています。

A&M STUDIO LIVEならではの独特の緊張感、Prophet系ブラスの質感、そしてSOLID STATE SURVIVORからRYDEENへ移る瞬間の高揚感を大切にしました。

実機中心の制作で、できるだけ当時のライブ感や音の雰囲気に近づけています。

【使用機材 / Equipment】

Synthesizer：Sequential Prophet-6
Rhythm / Sound Module：YAMAHA MOTIF-RACK ES
Drum Module：ALESIS D4
Multitrack Recorder：ZOOM MRS-1608

Keyboard / Bass / Programming / Recording / Mixing / Video Editing：Jimmy5820

I tried to recreate the sound, atmosphere and energy of YMO’s A&M Studio Live 1980 performance, especially the transition from 'SOLID STATE SURVIVOR' into 'RYDEEN.'

Hope you enjoy it!"

Understanding the Make Noise Plexiphon

video upload by Braintree56

"The Make Noise Plexiphon is a spatial processor - not quite a delay, not quite a reverb - something else entirely.

In this video, I explore what Plexiphon is actually doing and how its interconnected network of delay and feedback paths can move from distinct echoes to dense, reverberant spaces."

・Monophonic and polyphonic modes
・Voltage, current and discharge controls
・Adjustable arc length, branching and channel behavior
・Drive envelope

Diatonic Diamond – Generative Harmonic Sequencer

video upload by Mute State

"Find the generative harmonic sequencer here: https://www.mutestate.com/diatonicseq...
The generative harmonic sequencer creates af diatonic field of chords from a scale, moves around between the derived chords (or intervals and triads) after a set number of bars (in this case 4) a portal into another scale and key is created ... by either reinterpreting the active chord, mutating on of the notes by a semitone, or converting it into its negative counterpart using negative harmony. In this demo the sequencer controlled an Elektron digitone, a teensy based bass synth (digitaur) and an Elektron digitakt. The sequencer has seven tracks in total, a bass track, a harmony track and a melody track and finally four drum tracks. Besides midi it also has an internal sound engine."
