"Invented by Joe Pollard and Mark Burton in 1975, the Pollard Syndrum is the world's first commercially manufactured electronic drum synthesizer. It is considered the original synth drum. The Syndrum was sold in three models: Syndrum Single, Syndrum Twin, and Syndrum Quad. This Syndrum 178 is the single model.
Syndrum is famous for being used by Yukihiro Takahashi of YMO. The characteristic synth drum sound heard in early YMO can be said to be either Syndrum or ULT-SOUND DS-4. Please enjoy the real sound. It has been maintained. * Deteriorated urethane inside the pad has been replaced. * AC adapter has been replaced with a PSE compliant one (non-genuine). Product rank: B: Fairly scratched & used, but no problem in normal use.
Serial number: 1167 Case: No case Manual: No Other accessories: Non-genuine AC adapter Note: Other accessories are only those shown in the picture."
"A pre-owned cartridge for the Yamaha DX7II synthesizer, designed to store and decode up to 256 patches. Shows normal cosmetic wear from prior use, but is fully functional and works exactly as intended."
"E-MU Virtuoso 2000. It’s in MINT condition. It comes with Orchestral Sessions Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 expansion 32MB ROM (**2 cards**) And is in 100% working order. It‘s so MINT, that it even still has the protection film on the screen. Comes with its original box and power cable. This unit has seen very minimal use over the years."

"Dawno temu nagrałem swoją wersję 'Zmienników' na Electone, a dzisiaj inna wersja - zagrana na nowym syntezatorze mojej konstrukcji #JX2044 (w budowie). Zaryzykowałem też wokal - prosimy nie regulować odbiorników ;)
#Zmiennicy"

"A long time ago I recorded my version of 'Zmienicy' on the Electone, and today another version - played on my new synthesizer #JX2044 (under construction). I also risked vocals - please don't adjust your receivers ;)

I love this pedal dearly.

An ambient piece where soft percussive hits and a slow-moving synth lead float over a warm sustained harmony.
The @buchlausa Buchla Music Easel is routed through a @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MK II, adding spacious delay; its simple phrases stack into gentle, multi-layered textures.
The backing bed is built chiefly from @SpectrasonicsVIDEO Omnisphere synth pads."
"#JX2044 is my latest synthesizer project. It's an analog synthesizer inspired by Roland JX8P. The "2044" refers to the filter chip I used - V2044 from CoolAudio, which is a clone of legendary SSM2044.
Here are some basic specs: 8 voices, bi-timbral 2 DCO oscillators with CrossMod (AM) block based on JX8P, but with PWM capability, and with added triangle waveform instead of noise for DCO B. 3 ADSR envelopes per voice - with switchable Exponential/Linear shape 3 LFOs per voice - LFOs can be slaved together for typical monophonic behavior. Seven waveforms - triangle, sine, square, rising ramp, falling ramp, random and noise. 4 pole (24dB/oct) resonant low pass filter (with self-oscillation) DCO B can be used as source for Filter FM master HPF per layer, adjustable in 16 steps. Digital effects section per layer, with 4 blocks: Resonant filter bank with two modes - "VP330 Human Voice" ("Male" and "Female" presets) and Polymoog Resonator with three adjustable bands. Stereo chorus with three modes - "JX Slow", "JX Fast" and "StringMachine" - the last one using three delay lines modulated with dual LFOs. 4-stage phaser Delay/Reverb
I tried to somehow group the sounds, but there are some oddballs here and there in between. Anyway, here are some bookmarks 00:00 Bread'n'butter sounds (pianos, electric organs and other emulative patches) 05:07 Analog classics 13:09 Patches showcasing filter bank from FX section (choirs and brass) 14:12 Odds & ends 1 ;) 15:07 Synth basses 16:08 Noise sweep 16:32 Mostly pads - including some "pseudo-digital" ones, for example... 17:13 "MKS Voices" 18:18 Fantasia ;) 18:54 StaccatoHeaven ;) 20:46 SDS Drums 21:01 Patches using Filter FM 23:09 Odds & ends 2 - splits and layers ************** 24:31 "Sen Mistrza Alberta" ;) (cover, (c) Marek Biliński)"

External effects - delay and reverb were used during this performance.
I hope you enjoy it :)"

"Jam at the lake with the new Organelle S2! Order today!
https://www.critterandguitari.com
This video was made with the Arp-II patch."
"The Organelle S2 has arrived! From the outside, the S2 features maple keys and sturdy black metal enclosure just like its predecessor, but the insides have been completely redesigned. It now runs on a 1.8GHz quad-core processor — 50% faster than the Organelle S!
There are lots of small improvements too: a new encoder with a smoother feel, easier WiFi settings, and even a redesigned SD card slot that prevents the card from slipping into the device.
The Organelle S2 runs all your favorite patches with ease — and has room to grow. We’re also excited to explore some more advanced possibilities."
