New features in MIDISID - Arpeggation options

video upload by MIDI IN

"Arpeggiation is an effect that's characteristic of 8-bit sound chips like the SID. MIDISID has been able to do this, but with no options. This has been on the enhancement list for some time and users have been asking about it."

1974 Roland SH-3 1974 Rare in Exceptional Condition

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"The SH-3 was produced for only one year- 1974, before making a filter change marketed as the SH-3a. I have heard that the 3a has the Moog style filter and the 3 has a EMS style diode filter. I think it has a character all its own. I think the SH-3 is closer to what Roland had intended to to release and it sounds fantastic."

"Beautiful vintage crumar spirit. Comes with original extra vintage filterchip cem3350. i had modi implanted by Cox-electronics in the Netherlands. The hole and text where already there. Think crumar wanted it that time. It's been totally cleaned by Cox Electronics as well. Lot's of fun now with the midi and some functionality has midi cc as well. It's near mint. Sounds amazing this is not the remake but the original one made by Bob Moog."

Sequential Circuits Pro-One in Custom Wood Case & Clear LED Mod & Pitch Wheels SN 2594

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"This one comes in a Custom Wood (Pacific Northwest Walnut made by Synthwood) and includes custom light-up modulation wheel and pitch-bend wheel. It looks really beautiful with the wood and would match perfectly with a Prophet 5 next to it. Tested and fully functional, this Pro One is a J-wire version serial #2594. There are some minor signs of wear to the synth (mostly limited to a small number of scratches on the bottom and rear), but overall it's in great shape and the top face looks very clean. It's been serviced as needed by current owner's synth tech. This is a classic Sequential mono keyboard synth great for bass, leads and effects, with a fun built-in step sequencer and arpeggiator."

Yamaha SS-30 with Service Manual

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"A rare gem from the golden era of string machines – the Yamaha SS-30, a fully analog string synthesizer with dual manual charm and unmistakable vintage warmth. Released in 1977, the SS-30 stands as Yamaha’s answer to the classic Solina and Logan stringers, but with its own distinct character: rich, shimmering ensemble sounds that sit beautifully in a mix or soundtrack.

This unit is in excellent working condition for its age. Attached a picture about one scratch, what is on 2 keys. Except this, all the other keys, sliders, and ensemble effects function as intended. Cosmetically in good shape with minor signs of age – as expected from a true '70s original.
Power: 220V (EU)

You can test and take with you from Hungary (Esztergom), or worldwide shipping available (need to calculate)."

A Nice Song for Summer

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"What can you create with just a monophonic synth, a guitar, and some Hologram effects pedals?

This track is an exploration of that question — a study in restraint, sound design, and the textures that emerge when you limit your tools and lean into the process. The core instruments here are the Moog Messenger, an electric guitar, and carefully chosen chains of effects.

Every element in this track — aside from the recorded acoustic drums in the first half of the medley — passed through Chroma Console, shaping and coloring the sound along the way, from subtle crunch and stereo widening to melting delays and cavernous reverb."
