Waldorf Microwave II 30Voice Expanded

via this Reverb listing
"Very good condition Microwave 2 with the expanded voice card for 30 voices and expanded FX. This essentially a Microwave 2XT without the knobs or external input. You could remove the expansion board and place it into an XT and gain the 30 voices. You would be left with a 10 voice Microwave 2 with the latests revision board. I sent this into Waldorf to have this mod done years ago. All of the encoders work and the display is crisp. Minimum rack rash if at all. This is close to one of a kind."

Prestopatch Battle via this Reverb listing
"Original EMS Battle Prestopatch.
This thing is very rare and cool as heck."
EMS SYNTHI via via this Reverb listing
"This is a beautiful cream faced EMS Synthi A in fantastic condition. The case hardware shows some age and there is some mild scuffing on the bottom back of the ABS plastic part of the case but nothing that stands out. All mods built and installed by Robin Wood at EMS. Since I have owned it, it’s been kept in a padded case (included, see photos) in my climate controlled studio. The panel, pins, jacks, pots, guts, etc. are as good as new.
Aesthetics: There are labels applied by EMS that indicate the mods/expansions. As mentioned above, the metal case hardware shows some age, I took pictures of everything to be clear on aesthetics.
The mild scuffing on the ABS is not really noticeable to the eye but you can feel it if you run your hand over it.
I have included images of the pages in the manual that explain all of the mods and how they function. This is an amazing Synthi A that is 100% functional and clean with extras that add new dimensions to this classic beast."

crucFX SLM (scrollfo + mobvrt) via this Reverb listing
"SLM is SCROLLFO + MOBVRT.
This utility instrument contains x4 SCROLLFO, and x4 MOBVRT.
————————————————————————
SCROLLFO is a unique LFO circuit based on the original scroll circuit from Peter’s SIDRASSI/RAZZI/TETRASSI/RAZZI units.
But expanded upon.
You have an on/off/on round button switch that allows you to momentarily activate the LFO, or latch it on, when the button is released or in the off position, it samples where it was at in the lfo cycle and holds that value, to give you the ability to generate random pitch voltages/CV voltages.
This button also has a pulse input that allows you to trigger the switch hands free.
flanking each side of the big lfo button are the 2 square buttons - one pulls the signal to ground, and the other pulls the signal to mido.
These 2 buttons also have CV inputs that allow you to fight against the LFO (when it is active) or to set virtual ground and ground on other gear.
MOBVRT is a MIDO biased OFFSET, BOOST, and ATTENUVERTER - giving you the ability to move your @ciat_lonbarde signals anywhere you want in the unipolar boundaries!
Think an offset/attenuverter module for eurorack, but specifically for ciat-lonbarde voltage levels!"

SONIC XV 'FM Drone' - Diode Ladder Filter/Wave Folder Vs Audio-rate modulation (1 VCO) #eurorack
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"A simple FM drone using the SONIC XV Diode Ladder Wave multimode filter & wave folder from AJH SYNTH: https://ajhsynth.com/Sonic_XV.html
Video & Performance by @DreamsOfWires
The AJH SYNTH Eurorack modular range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.
Official website page: https://ajhsynth.com
Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself."
4/8/25 (octaves overlay) SWTPC Psych-Tone + ADR Pan Scan + Eventide H3000B
video upload by Cfpp0
"4/8/25 (octaves overlay) SWTPC Psych-Tone + ADR Pan Scan + Eventide H3000B
Do people still have stereos at home, with two speakers? The SWTPC Psych-Tone synthesizer is running through the ADR Pan Scan, and its stereo outputs are hard-panned on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer. The Eventide H3000B is on an auxiliary send, fed by both channels. The Pan Scan rate is close to, but not the same as, the rate of the Psych-Tone sequence, which creates the random feel of the automatic panning. The H3000B delay fills the center of the stereo field. I recorded the same sequence in three videos, each with a different range setting, and they are overlaid here."
Bokeh, By Otaku Sound
video upload by Matt Lowery
"Download Bokeh here: https://otakusound.gumroad.com/l/boke...
Bokeh is an esoteric and highly musical collection of samples in major keys that I've been working on for a while now. The gist: familiar instruments processed in unfamiliar ways. Worked and reworked until they sound like liquid late-afternoon sunshine.
Recorded through an extensive collection of outboard preamps, compressors, and EQ- these samples are ready to drop into sessions of any kind.
Bokeh is a robust collection of 1-3 minute Long Play sound beds and 5-10 second Short Play samples. Equally at home in the DAW or hardware sampler environment, it provides a solid foundation against which composers and songwriters can craft sweeping, ethereal compositions.

Sunday Session Jam 01 🎹🎹🎹 #electronicmusic #synthesizer #shorts
video upload by Luke Million
"I’m thinking about starting a fun new video series where I create jams in my studio on Sunday afternoons.
Today I’ve set up my Arturia KeyStep Pro, ARP 2600M, Moog Matriarch and Arturia DrumBrute Impact 1984.
The KeyStep sends midi clock to the DrumBrute and sequences the ARP2600M. And the Matriarch is dialled in for some tweaking!
Sunday arvo’s do have a vibe and are perfect for music creation with no distractions 😊"

Fred's Lab Manatee TouchOSC Bidirectional Editor v4.0
via synth_nyc
NB: This Bank B has entirely been created using the editor.
This is my favorite patch in that bank. It illustrates what the Manatee can do like a warm FM full body pad (that you can do on a DX synth) but with an aggressive attack and subtle spectral decay and movement that only the Manatee can do AFAIK.
Thanks to Fred’s Lab for providing me with the MIDI NRPN (and CC) specifications.
GENERIC FEATURES:
- Display parameter Name and Value
- Double click a slider or button to reset it to a default value
- MIDI data rate efficient: only sends a MIDI message if the parameter value is incremented or decremented by 1
SPECIFIC FEATURES (FW v1.06d):
- 1 Editor Page for the Part Main parameters
- 1 Editor Page for the Part Auxiliary parameters
- 1 Editor Page for the Multi parameters
- 1 Editor Page for the System parameters
- All 162 Part + 27 Multi + 48 System parameters implemented in the editor using NRPN. Part parameters are bidirectional using NRPN and SYSEX.
- MIDI Channel selection slider
- Bank (change) + Program (change) selection slider + buttons
- Buffer Init button using SYSEX
WORKFLOW 1 EDITING FROM PATCH (starting at 00:05 in the video above):
- Select a Bank & Program
- Go to the synth, press and hold the 1 button (the synth must be in Part mode)
- Start editing (the loaded patch) on the editor (the Patch is edited in the synth buffer)
- Go to the synth, press and hold the 1 button to record it in your DAW / SYSEX librarian; or save it manually in the synth
WORKFLOW 2 EDITING FROM SCRATCH (starting at 01:18 in the video above):
- Press Buffer Init to send an Init Patch to the synth
- Start editing (the init patch) on the editor (the Patch is edited in the synth buffer)
- Go to the synth, press and hold the 1 button to record it in your DAW / SYSEX librarian; or save it manually in the synth
Sailing the Styx : dual SID chiptune composed in DAW
video upload by MIDI IN
"I decided to use MIDISID in a mode that I don't use so often, to drive the 6 SID voices directly from my DAW with some automation of parameters using CC messages. Since the CC control is hidden unless you've read the manual thoroughly, I've made a little tutorial after the track.
0:00 intro
0:43 the track
2:31 General MIDI mode and automation via program change and CC messages"
