Official Demo - Microkorg 2 Soundset by Jexus
video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)
"Thoughts & info: https://sounds-for-synths.com/korg-mi...
I did not use any external FX in the demo, no layers, no loopers, etc. All the delays and reverbs are part of the Microkorg-2 engine. My presets are single-timbre so you don’t lose your 8-voice polyphony. The presets come as computer files in “mk2prog” format. Just load them into the Microkorg-2 by using its flash drive feature (boot your Microkorg-2 in “disk mode”, and when it appears as a new disk drive you can just open / explore it and copy + paste the files). You will have the freedom to import my presets into Bank CLASSIC or MODERN or FUTURE or USER on your Microkorg 2."

"This Oberheim OB-1 is great condition for a rare Vintage Synth and has a really unique sound and a self oscillating VCF. It's had a MIDI and programmer PCB upgrade increasing presets to 64 in 8 banks of 8.
It's just been fully restored and serviced By Totally Technical in Brisbane Australia ( See restoration details below) - I'm happy to share a detailed report and video's on request. It's located in Brisbane Australia if you would like to inspect and have a listen."

"Full restoration completed over the last 18 months
Programmer PCB installed
New Battery
Many capacitors, IC’s, Diodes and resistors changed
Portamento fixed - IC
Keybed all fixed
Bend all fixed – IC
Crackly pots applied Faderlube and OK.
DC Voltage on output fixed
MCU BASED PROGRAMMER UPGRADE
In July 2025 a new MCU-based programmer pcb was installed giving it functionality and patch storage not available in the original. More details below and available here
64 programs in 8 banks of 8
Programs are stored in non-volatile EEPROM. No battery needed.
After a program is loaded, only controls that have moved are "live", so patch editing is now possible.
Manual mode forces all controls to be "live".
Optional (non-volatile setting) periodic flash of current bank selection
Optional (non-volatile setting) quantization of coarse freq for oscillator 1 to octaves
Comes with 24 pre-programmed patches, which can be over-written later if you chose
Smaller pcb mounts on four of the existing standoffs, providing better access to pcb underneath
Implemented connectors are the same as original programmer for easy installation
All IC's are socketed. All components are through-hole.
20-turn trimpot for easier one-time oscillator tuning adjustment
SYNHOUSE MIDIJACK UPGRADE
In 2009 a Synhouse Midijack was installed - More detail below and here
MIDI channel selection (to select MIDI reception channel 1-16)
MIDI panic button (to silence stuck MIDI notes)
MIDI Off mode (useful for keeping unused synthesizers silent onstage or for selecting built-in / local analog keyboard control and external control via control voltage gate interface jacks, also known as CV/gate control)
MIDI On mode (normal operation)
4-note buffer (for musical trill effects and for relaxed performance with automatic error correction)
Single note triggering (for legato performance)
Multiple note triggering (for articulated performance)
MIDI transpose select mode (for deeper bass)
Analog CV calibration mode
Receives MIDI Note On messages (full range, MIDI notes 0-127)
Receives MIDI Note Off messages (full range, MIDI notes 0-127)
Receives MIDI sustain pedal (controller number 64)"

"The Korg Trident is a polyphonic multi-section synthesizer released by Korg in 1980, combining three distinct synthesizers within a single instrument: a polyphonic section with two VCOs, alongside dedicated String and Brass sections.[1] The polyphonic synthesizer section allows for eight-note polyphony with dual oscillators. The String section offers an ensemble effect and simple attack/release envelope controls, whereas the Brass section features an independent filter and a dedicated ADSR envelope. These sections can be assigned to two different regions of the keyboard independently, and the Trident also offers a flanger effect along with a joystick for pitch bending and modulation."

Abandoned Factory Find - Does This High-End Mic Still Work?
video upload by HAINBACH
"This summer, @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER went to Italy and were kindly allowed to explore the old Bontempi Musical Instrument Factory in Potenca Picena. A massive building and once an important part of the industrial infrastructure of the area, it has been decaying for two decades now and is home to swarms of pigeons. Most of the inventory is sold off, but we still found exiting remnants of the glory days in the rubble. Check out Sam’s video for a full tour, and stay tuned to what I found, as well as bit of history later."

DR-2 jam - using a polyclock on the BD
video upload by Modor Music
"A little jam on the Modor DR-2, using a 10:16 polyrhythmic clock on the kick and claps.
The kicks fall in most patterns on the 1st, 3rd and 4th step of a 5 step-pattern compressed into the time of 4 beats. The bottle ticking on top works as a regular 4/4 'metronome'.
Models used: String Bassdrum, Filter Claps, Hihat, Marching Snare, Bottle and Crash Cymbal.
The Marching Snare gets some random extra hits on top of the programmed pattern, for a constant little variation in the pattern."

"A piece for piano, monome norns shield, and @buchlausa Music Easel—a post-classical track combining a recorded piano loop, randomly auto-played electronic tones, and live piano performance.
The piano is a YAMAHA CP-88. On norns shield, I run barcode to play back a roughly six-second, single-note piano phrase recorded in advance. The Music Easel outputs random arpeggiator phrases routed through @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MK II for delay."

Recorded into the Zoom L-12 and then edited in Logic. The Rhythm Wolf has some compression and EQ applied in Logic, but the PSS-14 is unprocessed."
