"This is all kinds of Juno! Its a Juno 106 at heart, upgraded to a totally pro level with the KIWI 106 mod.. done professionally. AND its been modified to be a JUNIOR 106.. cropped and so cool. Very portable and very amazing.
I bought this recently and fell in love with it. I have not had time to dive into all the KIWI parameters but so far the Arpeggiator, Sequencer, MONO / POLY modes are fantastic! It can sync its LFO's, SEQ and ARP to internal and external clock which is a game changer for sure!
It should be noted that the voice chips were pro repaired from the usual issues they can have. ALL voices, filters, KEYS, buttons and slider work great.
BUT, there are a couple things to note.. The headphone jack does not work and while the bender works great with pitch and filter, i could not get the 'push' mod to work.. might be a KIWI programming thing? I dunno, like i said, i bought this recently and have not truly gotten into ALL the Kiwi possibilities.
SO.. why am i selling the best Juno i have ever played? I just picked up a restored Sequential PROPHET 10.. no, not the new one, the O.G.!!!!!! Its massive in every way and quenches my analog thirst."
"Whitmore takes the iconic Yamaha CS80 & meticulously replicates 36 famous songs to create a wonderful landscape of classic 70s 80s & 90s songs, stings, themes & intros by artists including Vangelis, Dr Who, Kate Bush, Bruce Springsteen, Prefab Sprout, Genesis and more. The licks are played to the original recordings so they are in time - true to the original, effects are duplicated too & the camera set up is made so you can duplicate the sounds yourself on emulation plug ins or the original.

Thank you KSR for doing such a complete restoration on this CS80 - that had been stored in a garage for 25 years! In this video, take a look at the legendary CS-80 with Andy Whitmore. This beloved eight-voice analog synthesizer with great controls like polyphonic aftertouch and a ribbon controller. Its extremely fat sound makes it an honourable member of the hall of fame of synthesizers. The CS80 was produced between 1977 and 1980.
"The Pro-800 earns his own in the analog synth realm. Yes - I think it's a Prophet, but with its own nuance. I tried to bring out it's personality in these patches.
Really fell in love with this synth. But you know me: many loves, not so many marriages…
Also in the vid, some tips & tricks - stuff you might not have thought about yet. If you like the sounds: get the patches @Patreon, no need to enlist:
Transferring the sounds
The easiest way to transfer the sounds is with 'Swumpf' or Behringer own 'Synth tribe app'
Swumpf is a free online synth-editor based on Chrome, works great. You can also download an offline version, I recommend it because you never know. https://swumpf.com/pro800"
"A comparison between Behringer Solina String Ensemble and three different Solina software clones: Arturia Solina V2 (virtual analog), UVI String Machines 2 (sampled based) and a Solina sample pack från BiggaGiggas (samples).
The settings used in all examples is all instruments, ensemble on, medium bass volume, medium crescendo and medium release.
Some of the instruments are made to shine in stereo but for the sake of comparison everything is in here in mono, just as the original Solina was made as well as the hardware Behringer clone. No external processing such EQ has been applied but small settings on the instruments to reproduce about the same sound as close as possible and volume matching.
The purpose of the comparison is to show the different character of the hardware Solina clone and some Solina software clones."
So, I finally got round to making some Patches for the brilliant Waldorf Quantum and Iridium. While the Quantum has an Analog Filter, all of the patches use the Digital Filters only for compatibility with the Iridium.
There's 50 Patches in total for Flux Vol 1, however many use both Layers as well as using all the Synthesis Engines available. It does use some of my Custom Samples, which are Raw Oscillator Multi-Samples from my Moog One, Polybrute, Matriarch and many more. It also uses some of the Factory Sample Content.
The Sounds are very Atmospheric in the main, with a few other Categories of Sounds in the Bank, though Pads, Strings, Evolving and Motion Sounds, which is what I think the strengths are of this Synth.
I've turned "Off" the 'Bass Boost' and used the EQ FX instead as there's more control. Mod Wheel is assigned for all to multiple destinations for many Patches."
"A short improvisation with an 80s vibe on Prophet 5 with sequenced bass, synbrass and drums with Roland MC-500., MiniMoog (bass), Oberheim OB-X8 (SynBrass), LinnDrum"
"Prophet 2002 Rackmount. MAX RAM, Latest OS and Flash Floppy Gotek floppy emulator with OLED Screen installed. Just serviced and rebuilt power supply. Incredible sounding 12bit sampler with analog filters and VCA's. Works great."

"Rare vintage Sequential Circuits Prophet VS rack synthesizer. It’s in excellent cosmetic shape with some minor wear as expected for its age. 100% fully functional with latest OS 1.2. Recently professionally serviced as needed, including installing new upgraded screen which is super easy to read, very bright and legible from all angles (looks even better in person, the pictures don’t do it justice), replaced data slider with a new metal shaft slider and cap (more sturdy than the original) and replaced caps in PSU, voice board, and output board. The battery tests good.
If you need an awesome dedicated hardware controller for the Prophet VS, please check out our Prophet VS Stereoping Controller, we can do a combined bundle deal if you purchased both together. Amazing digital analog hybrid synth, haunting pads, wicked basses, leads and effects. A classic for getting morphed transformed sounds with the data joystick. The built in sequencer/arpeggiator and randomizing patch function are awesome features. Includes VS Ram Prophet VS Ram Cartridge Model 240 (which has a value of $250 on its own). Very rare to find these racks, don't miss out!"

"Please join us while we explore the infamous, but actually quite venerable Moog Memorymoog synthesizer. As is widely recognized, the Memorymoog was developed too late and was rushed to the market. By 1982/83, the era of extremely expensive flagship analog polysynths being ubiquitously adopted by professional musicians and studios was coming to an end. Synths like the Sequential Prophet 5, Oberheim OB-X/Xa, & Roland Jupiter 8 had dominated the market, but new digital technology - both in synthesis and sampling, was quickly gaining a substantial foothold in the music industry. The Memorymoog was notorious for reliability issues right out of the box while innovative instruments like the Yamaha DX7 were cheaper, much more reliable, and had a unique new sound.
In hindsight and considering the analog renaissance we've expereinced of late, one can evaluate the Memorymoog from a different and more forgiving perspective... It sounds absolutely fantastic and offeres an incredibly unique & fat tone relative to competetive products of both its era and modern times. Additionally, once a competent technician has sorted common issues with the power supply/fan, connectors, etc. the instrument can be quite reliable from a functionality and tuning standpoint.
The audio is DIRECT, with a just a touch of OTO Bam reverb added on an aux bus - You are hearing the raw audio as it comes directly from the synthesizer. There is NO EQ, Dynamics, etc. Listen on good headphones or monitors!
Thank you so much for watching! This channel is a passion project. These videos are recorded off the cuff. We are just two hobbyists who share a deep passion for synthesizers."
"A comparison between Behringer Solina String Ensemble and three different Solina software clones: Arturia Solina V2, UVI String Machines 2 - Solina and a Solina sample pack från BiggaGiggas.
There might be slight differences to the crescendo and sustain length and possibly the presets: The purpose of the comparison is to show the different character of the hardware Solina clone and some software Solina clones."
