EML ElectroComp 101 – Vintage Duophonic Semi-Modular Synthesizer

"From rags to riches....

The short video [at the listing] shows the starting condition of this wonderful Electrocomp EML-101 synthesizer.

We commissioned the super talented Wes Curry of Curry Cases to create this absolutely gorgeous solid walnut enclosure with all new hardware and high quality soft brown leather carrying handle.

Inside, this has had much restorative work, switches and pots have all been deep cleaned, power supply fully rebuilt and all electrolytic capacitors replaced and various other repairs to bring the synth back to 100%

The Pratt-Read keyboard has been completely stripped and rebuilt with all new key bushings. Key caps have all been treated with 'retrobrite' to bring them back to white. (Some were also replaced) the result being a good looking keybed that plays like new again.

This two piece synth clasps together to be portable, but when opening, the bottom clasps then clip back into the lid so that it becomes a desktop arrangement. with the cable extended you can also mount the two pieces upto about 3 feet apart."

Check out the recent demo of a yellow accent one recently posted here.

"Perfectly working Drumstation - orange colorway - the first 808/909 clone! Very versatile, expansive midi control, 6 individual outs plus stereo mix, Din sync out (!)

The only difference in the versions is colorway and packaging; all drum stations are the same inside.

We don't see these often - Great box at a great price. Process those puppies!"

Teenage Engineering OP-XY // Groovebox Duties


video upload by Dexba

"It seems like using a groovebox for its intended purpose leads to better results than trying to ignore the metronome and get lost in arpeggiators and voices. Who would have guessed 😌
Anyway, I suck at this genre, I was mostly proud of the bassline and my 'discovery'!"

"Tuft Plucker" synth funk


video upload by Jeremy Parker

"I got extra silly and crazy with this latest Skweee-inspired funk track. Most of the sounds are from the Korg Opsix, Moog Minitaur, Arturia Polybrute, with drum sounds from Addictive Drums 2, everything done in Reaper. Visuals done with Imaginando VS Visual Synthesizer. Enjoy!"

PlantsSystem-AtmosphericLayer


video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem 'Atmospheric Layer' is a song that, as the name suggests, is like a journey through the atmosphere of sound. The constructed soundscape combines a sense of floating and depth by layering the pads of the Sunriser synthesizer. A delicate and expansive sound image is developed, as if layers of clouds were overlapping in a hazy sky.

Breakbeats are used for the backbeat. In contrast to the floating feeling of the pads, the beat has a grounded propulsive force, drawing the listener into the flow of the sound. The discreetly mixed 7th chord gives the song a subtle melancholy and color change, adding shade to the listening experience."

X Audio Systems Unveils XTRIKE Wavetable Synthesizer Prototype


video upload by Mad Synth Engineer

"X Audio Systems proudly unveils XTRIKE, a groundbreaking electronic musical instrument that redefines creative music production. Designed for musicians, producers, and audio enthusiasts across genres and cultures, XTRIKE is a stereo polyphonic, multitimbral wavetable synthesizer and workstation that delivers an unparalleled platform for sonic exploration and dynamic live performances.

XTRIKE is now in pre-launch phase on Indiegogo. Sign-up with your email to secure a 200€ super-early-bird discount! Sign-up here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/xt..."


A New Era in Sound Design

XTRIKE’s innovative dual-daisy architecture combines a magnetic bender and an expressive pad, offering a tactile, soft impact-driven interface that feels like a percussive instrument while harnessing the full power of a modern synthesizer. Beyond traditional percussive sounds, XTRIKE empowers users to craft intricate, evolving soundscapes through its advanced wavetable synthesis engine and experimental toolset.

Synthesizer

A 4-voice polyphonic, analog-controlled wavetable synthesizer with robust processing and many effects.

Tuning

An intuitive auto-tuning and micro-tuning engine for precise pitch control and cultural exploration.

Sequencer

A dynamic 16-step sequencer for crafting complex compositions directly on the instrument.

Loop/Multi

20 seconds of stereo sampling, looping, processing, multilayering for real-time creativity.

Continuous Development
As of July 2025, XTRIKE is in the prototype phase. Our team is committed to refining the instrument until its design and performance meet our exacting standards. To achieve this, we are implementing minor adjustments before moving to production.

The prototype’s features are performing exceptionally well. Its graphical display is both visually stunning and highly intuitive. The dual-daisy engine is robust, delivering the substantial processing power required for the project’s complexity. While minor software tweaks are still needed, this aspect of the project is nearly complete.

Our current focus is on enhancing the interface, particularly the tactile pad. We are dissatisfied with the responsiveness and appearance of the current silicon pad, which is glued to the faceplate. We are reverting to our original concept of an independent, mechanically isolated pad. By integrating a PCB interface, as used in our initial testing, and fitting it into a dedicated slot in the faceplate, we aim to significantly improve sensitivity and user experience. Additionally, the pad will be available in various colors with a distinctive, creative design.

We are also refining the overall design, with particular attention to the side panels. While beech wood has yielded positive results, we are exploring alternative materials and designs to ensure the highest quality outcome. Only the best will suffice.
