"Up for sale is a Buchla 208r+218r housed in a matching black “Luther” Cosmonaught case.
This easel was hand built by a seasoned professional and is in perfect working order. The 'reverb bypass' mod is in play here so you get a louder, less muddy reverb sound out of the spring. it includes a voltage converter module on the side for eurorack voltage and jack size conversion. This is probably one of the finest renditions of a black and gold easel
there are a few minor cosmetic blemishes, mostly on the 208r - these are from banana cable usage. they are pictured herein, near the period voltage input and one near the decay slider. There’s one up on the top right corner near the screw mount. They are not very noticeable but I am mentioning them and providing photos here in the spirit of transparency. The easel comes with a gig bag for the case, banana cables, banana plugs and a light which plugs into the easel itself. I’m only selling this because I owe some taxes and need to sell some gear. Check my other listings for other polysynths, pedals, and other studio gear"
"This is certainly one of the best, if not the best sounding synth I have ever owned, but I just put a lot of money into getting it back in tip top shape and decided its time to modernize my gear.
This P5 has been worked on by DFX and Analog Lab:
Analog Lab:
Replaced main ribbon cable
Key contacts cleaned and adjusted
Reseated power connectors
Smoothing caps replaced and repaired
DFX:
New power cable installed
New pots installed where needed
Wood side panel repair
Decoupling capacitors replaced
So...
There it is, quite a bit of work to get this thing back on line and now its set for years of use. All voice chips are in great shape too, which is probably the most important part of the entire synth since those are practically irreplaceable. While I have enjoyed having such a neat piece of gear around, the costs to repair it caught up to me and I think it belongs with someone who can continue to take care of it, whether that means having a good tech of their own or being able to do maintenance themselves when it needs it.
As for now, it is in tech certified working condition!"
"A piece for @teenageengineering OP-1 field and OP-1, where sustained electronic tones blend with layers of radio static for an ambient soundscape.
OP-1 field: Routed through a @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MK II to create micro-loops, then into a @HologramElectronics MICROCOSM for deep reverb.
OP-1: Begins by sampling radio noise, processed with @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY’s filter effect; later, the onboard synth is played with the CWO effect."

"Reshift 6 is a remarkable 6-voice analogue synthesizer with up to 16 oscillators per voice, stacked or unstacked, unison, polyphonic and paraphonic multitimbral synth machine. There are some alarming holes in the intended feature set, but Supercritical are certainly onto something with the Demon Core Oscillators.
Supercritical sent me the Redshift 6 for review but have no say over the content."

"1970s ARP Avatar synthesizer. This particular unit was just overhauled in-house and converted to an Odyssey module (no longer a guitar synth) with modifications. Ready for patching and serious studio-use! Please read..."
Service notes:
-Replaced filter capacitors and all tantalum capacitors on +/- voltage rails -Replaced tantalum capacitors on VCF module (4075) -Disassembled all faders, cleaned and lubricated, replaced (5) damaged carbon strips -Cleaned and calibrated
"Fully tested and ready to play those "real bass" sounds you've been looking for! Unit has two EPROMS installed; "SNAPPY" and 'PICK RW JAZZ 2' as shown.
Systems used the 'Real Bass In A Box' slogan for their advertising of this player due to the fact that it has "real" and not synthesized bass sounds. The MIDI Bass produces the exact sound of acoustic and electric basses and boasted some of the most popular bass sounds of its time. The included library of sounds had everything from Slapped & Popped Funk Bass, Flat Picked Roundwound Jazz Bass, Stand-Up Acoustic Bass, Bowed Bass, and much more. 360 Systems also praised the realism of the MIDI Bass as it is touch-sensitive, follows pitch bends, and responds to MIDI patch changes. As a result, it was marketed as the natural complement to digital drum machines and MIDI sequencer/synthesizer systems."
"Standalone, battery powered, CV controlled mini synthesizer made by a boutique manufacturer who no longer exists. Makes amazing sounds, lots of different FM oriented patches. Demo here:" [video above]
"A minimal-ambient piece for norns shield and @somasynths LYRA-8, built from slowly evolving phrases and drones.
norns shield: Runs awake; phrases are altered live with a monome grid. The output goes through a @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MK II for reverb, and near the end a micro-loop creates a dense cluster of tones.
LYRA-8: Plays drones and short phrases. Its signal is modulated with a BOSS CE-5 chorus, then processed by @strymon NIGHTSKY for filtering and reverb."
"Another real-time programming session, this one done in one take over 24 minutes. Another purely additive sound, using 4 partials. The only external effect used was the 'roomworks' reverb from Cubase."
1. Loopy Pro 2: Polyphonic Clip Playback with MIDI
Explore one of Loopy Pro 2’s most powerful new features: polyphonic clip playback. This tutorial shows how to trigger audio clips using MIDI — either pitched, where each note plays a different pitch of the clip, or sliced, where each note plays a different part of the audio. You’ll learn how to set up MIDI routing to clips, configure playback modes, and fine-tune behavior with features like fade-out-based note decay. We’ll also cover how to use loops as polyphonic targets, letting them sustain while held, and how to add an intro section to act as a sample’s attack before the loop takes over.
2. Loopy Pro 2.0: MIDI Loops & Signal Flow Explained
Learn how to harness the power of MIDI loops in Loopy Pro 2.0. This tutorial walks you through connecting a MIDI controller — whether it’s an external keyboard or the new on-screen keyboard — to a MIDI loop for recording and looping MIDI performances. You’ll also learn how to route that loop to an AUv3 instrument or any other MIDI destination to bring your loops to life. Plus, we’ll take a look at the redesigned mixer and demystify the new signal flow system so you can take full control of your setup.
3. Loopy Pro 2: Organize Your Mixer with Collapsible Sections & Rows
Loopy Pro 2 introduces powerful new ways to keep your mixer tidy. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to collapse entire sections — like Inputs, Outputs, or Groups — to hide them until you need them. You’ll also see how to collapse individual rows to save space and reduce visual clutter, making it easier to focus on what matters in the moment.
"Welcome to the first episode of the Loopy Pro Artist Spotlight — a new series where I sit down with musicians who use Loopy Pro to talk gear, creative process, and the magic of building music live.

"The Crow Hill Company creates POCKET STRINGS as no-barrier-to-entry-styled string library plug-in produced without compromise… with added ‘synthy spice’
EDINBURGH, UK: having recently rebranded itself with an aesthetic that truly realises company co-founder and composer Christian Henson’s heartfelt dream of encouraging people to make music and help them on their journey, regardless of whatever point they were at and wherever their journey began, The Crow Hill Company continues its journeying into ‘Season Two’ as a producer of resources and tools to protect, inspire, support, and provide opportunities for music-makers the world over, believing that music is, and should remain, a wholly human experience, one that is by far one of the most powerful forms of expression, escape, comfort, and remembrance, of which its newly-created POCKET STRINGS — styled as a definitive string library plug-in that opens the doors to collaboration between anyone anywhere, creatively combining live cinematic orchestral recordings with some rarefied vintage synth classics made to measure for added body, depth, and character — readily represents the cornerstone of this ethos, as of July 10…
“A string library that’s accessible to all without compromise — a distillation of the last 25, nearly 30, years that I’ve been working as a media composer, which means that I write music for film, TV, and computer games, giving you the very basic necessities to write pro-end string arrangements. Whether that be adding to productions, songs, collaborating with others, or, indeed, creating professional film scores — whether that be to demo for an orchestra to play, or, indeed, to go to broadcast, there’s been no compromises here. But accessibility is the key — not just with the price point, but with usability.” So says Christian Henson himself, perfectly positioned — as The Crow Hill Company’s original founder, forging forward by building upon his extensive experience gained from founding Spitfire Audio to originally offer a palette of sounds he had created for his own use as a professional composer to his film world colleagues by invitation only, though the rest, as they say, is history — to proudly introduce POCKET STRINGS as a never-tried-before strings library plug-in that aims to bring broadcast-grade string possibilities to everyone.
This video is an introductory guide for anyone new to the LIVEN Evoke, created in collaboration with Daniel Beck Rose, also known as @SonicCartography.
"A big picture overview of the main features of the Sonicware Liven Evoke (table of contents below), as well some tips for quickly getting started with making some interesting sounds and playing music on it, without getting bogged down in the technical details of all the synth's bells and whistles, which will be covered in the next videos in the series. You can get early access to the next video right now (plus bonus goodies, like presets), over at the new Patreon that I am launching in conjunction with this series: / soniccartography .
Next Episodes: Part 2: Oscillator / Sound Engine Parameters (early access available now on Patreon: / soniccartography ) Part 3: Sound Design (focusing on LFOs). Part 4: Granular Effects and Reverb Part 5: Voice Modes & Arpeggiator Part 6: Chord Mode Part 7: Sequencer Part 8(?) - will depend on feedback and questions I receive. Please leave comments! My goal is to help people do whatever I can to be able to use this synth to make their own ambient, cinematic, post-classical, and other kind of electronic (or should I say acoustronic?) music.
The other videos will be shorter than this one. For example, the second one is only 25 minutes. They are focused on specific topics of limited scope, whereas this one is a broad overview. The idea is to start making more bite-size videos than the long-form ones I've tended to make in the past. And the reason for this is to same as the reason for starting the Patreon: to make this channel more sustainable for me and to be able to get back to making videos on a more regular basis.

"A minimalistic dub-techno piece built from the Roland TR-808, @SequentialLLC Prophet-10, @KORG_INC MS-20, and a noise box, where reverb- and delay-soaked harmonies float over a steady rhythm.
TR-808: Individual outs are used.
Kick: Sent through a BASS DRIVER DI and EQ’d for weight.
Clap: Runs into a MICROCOSM for delay.
Hi-hats & toms: Taken from the main outs and drenched in reverb via a @strymon blueSky.
Prophet-10: Plays simple chords and melodies. The signal first receives delay from a @BOSSinfoglobal DD-6, then deep reverb from a blueSky; additional filtering and reverb are applied later in the DAW.
MS-20: Handles the bass line, recorded through the BASS DRIVER for extra grit.
Noise box: Its output is boosted and modulated by @ChaseBlissAudio GENERATION LOSS MK II, then sent through the @HologramElectronics MICROCOSM for expansive reverb."
