Mutable Instruments Plaits DX7 Model

video upload by Easy Tiger

"I'm quickly going over what the controls on plaits do for the new DX7 models before I'm playing some patches I made using them.

It's really just a tiny fraction of what seems possible with this. The timbral variety seems limitless. I'm absolutely loving this!"

"In this jam I'm pairing the digitone with Moog's Sirin for some added analogue flavor."

Roland VP-03 vs. Behringer VP340 - Vocoder Comparison

video upload by Easy Tiger

"Since I happened to have these two vocoders with me at the same time I thought I'd do a little comparison.

I go over what all the controls on these devices do. I then compare the sound of the two units briefly and in the end I'll perform a track switching back and forth between the two units.

If you're mainly interested in the comparison of how they sound go straight to about the12:00 mark."

WHERE'S THE MINIMOOG!?

Published on Mar 21, 2019 once upon a synth

"Look mum no computer jokingly challenged us to make a song using this footage, so I couldn't resist. This was some live stream footage from Thomann Synth Reactor. Thanks to Marc Doty for expressing his passion for the Minimoog and Simon the Magpie for the brief appearence. #TSR19"

Some synth humor for you today. :) We need some "WHERE'S THE MINIMOOG!?" Synth Ts.

Here's what Marc had to say about it:

"You know, if German beer companies really cared about visiting Americans, they would label their innocent-looking lager bottles with warnings in red letters that are big enough for old people to read that say "Easy there, tiger... there is more alcohol than you're used to in this." But they don't. So, plainly, we have German beer companies to thank for this outcome."

Vintage 1969 EKO Tiger keyboard/piano/synthesizer

"This is a truly vintage Eko Tiger manual combo organ/keyboard. This instrument was made in 1969 (dated inside of the cabinet) and is a fully functional keyboard with all features working. It contains two internal speakers, but they are just for quick monitoring - the keyboard fully blossom when connected to a serious amp and your imagination is the limit when it is run via modern effects, pedals and the means of sound enhancement, like Leslie speakers.

The features are controlled by six colored Hammond drowbar alike switches - they are only on/off switches for the 'mellow, reed, brass, flute, bass chorus & vibrato' functions. The bass volume and tone controls add color and depth to all the functions.

The keyboard/synth is easy to carry with a convenient handle - it weights 36 lb.

The keyboard is in excellent visual condition with no signs of use, it is very clean inside and outside - it looks like it was not used and stored for many years.

It comes with a keyboard cover and AC cord.

Size: 34-3/4"W x 19"D x 7"H. Shipping weight ca. 40 lb."
