ARP Odyssey MkII 2810 w/4035 filter, CV/Gate SN 0290

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

via this auction

"Rarest of the Odyssey versions with "4035" filter -- apparently they had to change the filter due to patent issues with Moog because of the ladder topology. While it doesn't sound like a Minimoog it does sound very close to the "4012" filter on the standard (black/grey) 2600, with a nice round, musical resonance and great bass response at zero resonance.

Has factory CV/gate interface for integration into the modern studio (apparently standard for the first time with MkII, the white/MkI units generally did not have this)."

Novation Peak Presets Demo With Some Filter And Effect Tweaking

Published on Jun 20, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In this video we go through a few presets on the new Novation Peak Synthesizer. We play around with the arpeggiator, filter and effects as well. The filter is a 12 or 24db/octave lowpass, highpass or bandpass type and the effects include pre and post filter drive/distortion, chorus, delay and reverb.

Novation's Peak is an eight-voice polyphonic synthesizer that is one of the most exciting multi-voice synth releases of 2017. Containing three newly designed Oxford Oscillators for each voice, the Peak Synthesizer has a built-in resonant multi-mode analog filter for each individual voice and three distortion points in the analog chain: pre-filter, post-filter and global. It's great for both sound designers and EDM artists because it offers a wide range of tone from melodic to abstract. With a 16-slot matrix modulation assignment, three ADSR envelopes, high quality effects and a built-in arpeggiator, Novation's Peak is great for both live performance and studio work.

Moog Minitaur Classic Leads in SPACE 2017 Analog Synthesizer Minimoog Rik Marston

Published on Jun 19, 2017 SynthgodXXX

"Moog Minitaur 'Classic Leads in SPACE' 2017
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD** **100% No talking!!**

People have said "Well I was in the shop & I wanted
a Moog synthesizer for the more Classic Moog Lead
sound and all they had left was the Moog Minitaur Bass
synthesizer in stock so I decided to wait & shop online..."
I usually giggle and say these magic words to them...
"The Minitaur can do that, too!!!" So just in case you were
told or programmed that the Minitaur is just a BASS SYNTH,
Surprise! It's NOT! Well it's supposed to be.. but Version 2
makes the Minitaur a pretty versatile little analog monster!!
Most people are astonished on how many LEADS are in the
unit upon arrival. All very nice and very MOOG. Plus MORE!
I love the Moog Minitaur, every studio should have one just
in case they need a seriously awesome synth to cut in the
mix for BASS, LEADS or anything!!
Fantastic, Reliable, Classic.
It's a MOOG, of course!!!!!!

Recorded into a classic ART Multiverb LT
(Delay & Reverb) then into Ableton Live

Thank you for watching!!"

New Roland Boutique SE-02 Analog Synthesizer - Designed by Studio Electronics

Published on Jun 20, 2017 RolandChannel

I believe discussions on the joint project began two years ago back at NAMM 2015. While there, I ran into Studio Electronics at the Moog booth who asked me to please keep it under wraps for obvious reason. Yes I can keep a secret. It's great to see this collaboration come to life. Congrats to both Studio Electronics and Roland!

Update: price is apparently only $499.

"The Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer is a collaborative effort from Roland and Studio Electronics, that uses authentic discrete circuitry to create an analog synth with a distinctly American sound.

The Roland SE-02 synthesizer has all of the warm, rounded bass tones and smooth, glassy leads that you would expect from its all-analog architecture.

But a new generation of synthesists, producers and musicians requires a new sound, and the Roland SE-02 goes far beyond into inspiring sonic territories.

Explore the power of its performance sequencer, over 500 expertly-crafted preset patches, its complex oscillator and filter modulations with XMOD and FEEDBACK, and in-built delay. Discover thick textures, percussive patches and ethereal effects for a whole new dimension to a classic sound.

The Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer is the first product in the new Roland Boutique Designer Series.

Space-Time Distortion Near Track Number 8 (Experimental Music & Video)

Published on Jun 19, 2017 Mark Mosher

"Story:
I discovered a space-time distortion while visiting Chicago. The location of the anomaly is at track 8 at Union Station. Here is the video (which gets more trippy as you go along) to prove it.

http://www.MarkMosherMusic.com

Artist Notes:

This audio and video was captured in one real-time pass to a Zoom Q4N. The primary source video for 90% of the visuals is from the overhead view of the live studio session. The only other footage is a video field recording from Chicago's Union Station also recorded on the Zoom Q4N. The audio was not edited when I added video effects in post.

The audio field recording was extracted the Zoom Q4N video shot at Union Station. It's mangled pretty heavily in this piece put if you listen closely, you can hear an automated voice informing you that you are at track 8 and 10. Interestingly, the speakers at the station are not directional and the audio is at different loop lengths - so just wandering about between these gates is a trippy polyrhythmic treat.

Perhaps this will end up on Sonic Encounters Volume 02. Check out Sonic Encounters Volume 01 http://sonicencounters.com/

Instrumentation and Instrumentalities:

The piece is a combination of live sequencing and live performance. The Octatrack is used to host drum samples and recording. It is also used to MIDI sequence 3 synth slots on the Nord Lead 4 including MIDI automation. I perform live using all 4 slots on the Nord plus manipulate the Octatrack in real-time. Lots of real-time sound design and morphing. All the groovy synth sounds are exclusive to Nord Lead 4 all being created in real-time (meaning no synth audio was pre-recorded)."

KAWAI SX-240 8 VOICE PROGRAMMABLE POLYPHONIC ANALOG SYNTHESIZER

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

via this auction

"I have owned a lot of analog polysynths, and this one has a unique character that is unlike the Roland Junos or the Korg polysix. Part of that is because it is dual OSC and can do a lot more than those synths. But also, it just sounds refreshingly different. It reminds me just a little of an Akai AX-80 in that it doesn't sound like anything else, but it delivers that classic analog sound; very warm and very large. The lack of dedicated knobs or sliders is not as big of an issue as you might think. Programming is very intuitive, and being able to name your presets is a real luxury. There is no better deal than the Kawai SX-240 when it comes to obtaining a dual OSC (with SUB OSC), analog polysynth with all the features that this has. The effects are the icing on the cake with a rich Chorus, Portamento, Hold and Glissando. AND there is a sequencer."

Vintage Moog The Rogue Analog Mono Synthesizer w/custom Case SN 4866

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

via this auction

"Here's another piece of analog synth history, the classic Moog Rogue (one of the last mono Moogs, and one of the last models to be made all in-house).

Overall working condition is great; the noise slider (in the mixer/overdrive section) is a little finicky and sometimes causes sound to cut out. It's probably a connection that needs cleaning and/or soldering... definitely a small fix, as I seldom have run into issues, and only when I'm live tweaking that slider.

Additionally, the pitch and mod wheels have some paint on them (pictured) but this doesn't in any way affect performance. All other knobs/sliders function brilliantly, and the sound is...well...there's simply nothing like it (except maybe, the MiniMoog)

The auction includes a custom-built hard case with foam inserts (pictured). "

Willzyx Xoxbox - Analog Bass Synth - Roland TB 303 clone

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

via this auction

"This is a Xoxbox, professionally built by Willzyx in 2012, in perfect condition. All functions work as expected. This has Sokkos 2.0 OS installed, which allows triplets and expands the sequencer functions. This xoxbox was built before Willzyx stopped using the original 303 parts, so to my knowledge it should have all the OG transistors and sound more like an actual 303 than the more recent xox's. To my ears, it is indistinguishable from a 303 - sounds incredible for basslines and chirpy acid lines. You'd be crazy to spend 3k on a 303 when you can get one of these for so much less. Only selling because I'm downsizing my studio for financial reasons.

x0xb0x = Synth + Sequencer
The x0xb0x is not just another MIDI-controlled TB-303 clone. x0xb0x is a full reproduction of the original Roland synthesizer, with fully functional sequencer. The sequencer can be programmed just like the original 303 (ok its actually a little easier, we think) and can be used to control other synthesizers via any of its various output formats. 128 banks of track memory and 64 banks of pattern memory are stored in onboard EEPROM, no battery-backup is needed!"
