Mint Sequential Circuits Multi-Trak SN 00135 with Custom Wood Side Panels

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

via this auction

"For sale is my Sequential Circuits Multitrak. This is a rare classic vintage synthesizer and in my opinion very underrated, much better than the more readily found Sixtrak. It has a awesome analog sound along with a cool built in arpeggiator & sequencer. Awesome for pads but also gets very beefy in mono-stack mode. This might be the nicest Multitrak you will find. It's in super MINTY shape, even the bottom is almost perfect. It has custom wood sides and looks and plays perfectly. Includes power supply. Be sure to check out the detailed pictures to make sure you like it. Don't miss out on this awesome SCI synth!"

Mint Roland TB-303 SN 220800 with Original Box & Bag

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

via this auction

"For sale is a rare Roland TB303. It's in MINT shape and fully functional. Includes original box, manual, quick start card, warranty registration, carry case bag (also in excellent shape) and power supply (not pictured but one will be included). This unit looks like it was kept in storage for most of its life and hardly ever used, as there is minimal signs of use or wear. All the knobs turn smoothly, scratch free and buttons are all triggering properly. Super hard to find a 303 that performs are perfectly as this one. You won't have any issues with buttons double triggering or requiring firm presses, programming on this is a breeze. This one has been clearly babied over the years and it shows. No cracks, chips, dings or worn our corners like you find on most 303s. No wear around the knobs which shows it hasn't been used for intense filter or knob twisting action. No rust or grime or mildew funky smells either. Even the bottom looks perfect. I only found some very very minor signs of wear which was lightly from rubbing again the case while sitting in the box. Check out the detailed pictures below to make sure you like it. The battery compartment is clean, no battery leakage anywhere. One of the nicest 303 sets I've seen for sale in a while. The 303 is a must have for acid, techno, dance, electronic, hiphop and more. Especially awesome when paired up with a TR606, TR909 or TR808. Don't miss out on this classic synth!"

Reverse Keys KORG Poly 800 Synthesizer w/ Mods

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

via this auction

"This Poly 800 has the reversed keys, plus the following modifications:

Potentiometer for filter cutoff frequency
Potentiometer for filter resonance amount
Filter slope switch (12 or 24 dB / octave)
Switch to toggle FM on/off
Potentiometer for FM amount

These additions extend the synth's range to far beyond a normal Poly 800 (although it can be used without the mods by turning cutoff to max, resonance to min, selecting 24 dB / octave and switching 'FM' to off). The FM can add harmonic overtones, or extreme distortion at higher amounts. Care should be taken with the resonance amount as, after about 75%, 'feedback' can occur quite suddenly (and loudly). Therefore, running the instrument through a compressor is recommended."

Intelijel Metropolis and Atlantis live setup

Published on Jan 28, 2017 Ziad Sarrouh

"This is a quick jam I made to test the Metropolis and the Atlantis in a live performance situation. The setup would consist of these two modules in addition to an Aira Demora for delay and Arturia Drumbrute.
The Metropolis is receiving its clock input from the Drumbrute's metronome out and sending CV and Gate to the Atlantis. The audio is then routed through the Demora's USB port into the Aira MX-1.
The Metropolis is really great for live use, and has a few tricks I found very handy. For example, it can receive two modulation signals to affect a wide choice of parameters through it's aux A and B. I like to send a sine wave to control the octave of the pattern and a square wave for the numbers of steps and use these when I want to create variations.
The Atlantis is also extremely handy for live use. The fact that it is mostly self contained is also very practical since most of the usual patching is already made internally, allowing me to focus on live tweaking.
All in all, this is a setup I can safely take to the road with me, fits in one 104HP case and is extremely portable.
I'll make another video featuring all the elements and how I integrate them in my workflow."

Hawkeye - Neutron Blender (MFB Dominion I and friends - live)

Published on Jan 27, 2017 Maelstroem3

"Test-driving the MFB Dominion I and some friends, live-sequenced on the MIDIbox sequencer V4! :-)

I recently removed my computer/DAW from the synth setup, as I don't use it any longer (indeed i never used it, since the MBSEQ was finished many years ago :-)). The space that was occupied by the display was now available for another synth. After some long research and considerations, i chose the MFB Dominion, as I think it offers something new for me. In short words: it is fantastic! I still have to explore it more in-depth, as has a really powerful synthesis/modulation engine, but the first weeks with it were awesome! Thanks, MFB! :-)

Gear used:
Mono analog lead #1: Dominion I
Mono analog lead #2: Alesis Andromeda
Mono analog wall of noise: Moog Little Phatty, live controlled by the MBProgramma Patch Editor
Dry FM bassline: Yamaha FS1R, live modulated with the onboard encoders
Warm analog-ish (but fully digital) portamento pad: JD-990 through Polivoks DIY VCF (the left filter knob in the video... Thanks, J! What a deal, both of these are truly awesome!)
Drums: Elektron Machinedrum UW
FX: Strymon Timeline and Bigsky
Mixed through a Mackie 1604, directly recorded on a tascam .wav-recorder.

Thanks for watching and listening!

MAKING A SYNC LEAD PATCH ON THE DEEPMIND 12 ~ Synthesize This! Ep.10

Published on Jan 27, 2017 once upon a synth

"I make a lead patch on the Behringer Deepmind 12 synth. This patch is based around the hard sync sound which sync oscillator 2 to oscillator 1. This allows you to get interesting timbre shifts by modulating oscillator 2's pitch. I then explore adding effects, modulating the filter and making use of the poly chord feature."

"UNIVOX MINI-KORG K-2 ANALOG SYNTHESIZER VINTAGE Good working condition. I cleaned the switches & lubed the sliders. Note: White keys are painted black, low key is a bit mangled but works fine and the scratches by the volume pot are typical for this early 1970's synth. The power bulb does not light. See Photos."

"The Addac502 module generates Lissajous curves, so you can use complex harmonic motion in your sinthesis. These elaborated oscillations can create wonderful sounds, that go way beyond typical LFO modulation.

Lissajous curves create beautiful motion, that can go from simple circles, to more complex parabolic representations and even pseudo-3D structures or the so-called Lissajous knots."

Basky II Model BS-4322 Bass Synthesizer SN 39555

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

via this auction

"We'd never seen a set of Hillwood Basky II bass pedals before. Tony was sold on the funky faux-denim finish and groovy coloured knob caps; the bubbling acidic filter when we switched it on was an unexpected sonic delight.

We like the sound it makes, but we don't know much more about this vintage synth at this stage. It's in full working order and the controls are simple and self-explanatory...

The condition is good overall. We've added replacement knobs as some of the originals were missing. There is some very old plastic tape on the tops of all the pedals - this may well be removable but it will be a time-consuming task and does not affect the operation of the instrument."

How to learn Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer: FM synthesis – Sound Design Tub Bells Improvement Part 2

Published on Jan 27, 2017 Power DX7

All parts here.

"This tutorial series introduce many ways that you can apply to make improvements on the famous DX7 factory patches. Part 2 will revise what we’ve learnt so far in regards to the famous DX7 Tub Bells patch. Then we will focus on the algorithm interchangeability to make an improvement on the famous DX7 Tub Bells patch.

Although my tutorials use the DX7 for FM sound design, what you’ve learnt here can be applied to any FM synthesizers, including Yamaha dx7 vst and plug-ins such as Dexed, FM7 and FM8.

However, the resulting sound can vary due to limitation with software emulation of the DX7 FM synthesis."

Mattoverse OCTOSTEP...an introduction

Published on Jan 26, 2017 mattoverse

New synth pedal from Mattoverse with eight step sequencer. Each knob controls the pitch for each corresponding step, of course. I thought perhaps the audio-in would effect the sequence being played, but from what I can see it doesn't appear to. There is a Master Gate input and Expression pedal for Master Pitch. There are two switches for Reset/Pause, one for Bypass, and one for Shape (curious what that one does exactly). There's a Rate and Mix knob that appear self explanatory. There are no additional details at this point.
