Blue Lantern Syncussion Plus - Percussion Synthesizer || Full Walkthrough, Manual, & Demo

video upload by Robots Are Red

"In this video we will boogey with Blue Lantern Module's Syncussion Plus eurorack drum module, inspired by the Pearl Syncussion Drum Synthesizer from the 1970's. While the original Syncussion has a handful of oscillator presets to switch through, the Syncussion Plus breaks open the presets with it's mixer section for more ability to customize. The Plus also has the addition of the Shimmer section which can add great metallic clanginess and shimmery effects to your sound via xor cmos modulation.

This module is great for creating all sorts of drum sounds using the various trigger and vca inputs, and creating other-worldly unique percussion sounds. The module can also be used as a sort of complex oscillator by utilizing the LFO, shimmer, noise, and 2 VCOs with the VCA cv input and 1v/oct input, or routing the output of Syncussion Plus to an external VCA.

(Tip: If the module seems to go crazy and continues to self trigger itself or triggers through the VCA CV and you don't want it to, plugging an unplugged cable into the Piezo input seems to eliminate those rogue internal triggers)

First I give a general overview of the module, followed by a full walkthrough of every single knob, switch, input, output, and button, and the video ends with some sound demos."

Pearl “Fightman” FM-8 Electronic Drum Synth SN 170031

"PEARL FM-8 FIGHTMAN Electronic Drum controller/ synthesizer

Note this does not have any sequencing capabilities.

It is a drum synth aka drum brain.

"This is a fully working very rare Pearl FM-8 Fightman Analog Drum Synthesizer. I believe it was made before the Syncussion. A great piece of 80’s tech!

The closest machine that resembles it in my opinion is a Roland TR-606, except the Fightman has some very real sounding Toms.

The Hi Hat, Crash, are said to be very Metallic and the Ride is almost like a Synth Tone.

This Drum Synth is very hard to come by. This unit does not have Midi.

The only test I was able to perform was plugging it in and powering it up. The tempo light blinks and changes tempo when you adjust the tempo knob.

Unit measure 13-1/2” x 8” x 3” "

Simmons SDS-6 Rare-as-hens-teeth Drum Sequencer w/MIDI

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

via this acution

"1984 Simmons SDS-6 vintage drum sequencer in excellent condition. I don't have to mention how rare this is, but I will. It is a US Voltage unit (117volts), so no converter required.

ABOUT THE SDS-6:
Simmons released about 100 of these units in the mid-80's as a way to program the Simmons drum brains. The SDS-6 can be used to trigger any drum synth (Tama TS series, Pearl Syncussion, Claptrap, etc.). This is one of the later ones, with factory MIDI and MIDI sync, which is also very rare. This is serial #82.

FUNCTIONALITY: Fully serviced last year by The Simmons Guy, who is well-known in the Simmons drum community. It has a new battery and all the big stuff in the PSU has been replaced (his words, not mine). He included a video before selling it to me, which is included below. I have tested it out and everything appears to function as it should with my SDS-V.

APPEARANCE:
The physical appearance is extremely clean. This is a collector's quality unit. The face is practically flawless with some small marks here and there. Side panels can accept rack ears if you are so inclined. See photos for exact physical description.

INCLUDED:
Included is the SDS-6 and power cord. Manual is available online. Rare chance to acquire one of the rarest drum sequencers on the planet."

DSP: SYNCUSSION SY1 - Sound Pack for Polyend Tracker, Digitakt & Analog Rytm

video upload by MrDataline

"Download: https://dataline.bandcamp.com/album/d...
The first Dataline Sound Pack (DSP) features 100 samples from the classic Syncussion SY1 drum synthesiser. These samples were recorded using both of the SY1 oscillators as layers. Analog Rytm sending 2 individual trigs, at the same time, to the 2 Syncussion channels. Both of these channels would be mixed and sampled in the Rytm. To celebrate these samples, I have made exclusive patterns to some good old machines - which are featured in the video as audio examples and bundled with the DSP:SYNCUSSION SY1!

The DSP: SYNCUSSION SY1 includes,
- 100 Royalty Free One Shot Samples at 16Bit 48Khz
- 8 Patterns for Polyend Tracker, Digitakt & Analog Rytm"

via this auction

"The SY-1M is a faithful reproduction of an extremely versatile drum synthesizer from the late 1970’s. With 6 Oscillator Modes per channel, it is capable of a wide range of sounds, from the classic 70’s disco “peeoww” to tight bells, thunderous Kick drums and Gnarly Bass sounds.

This clone includes the original CV and trigger inputs but also per channel MIDI-controlled triggering, pitch and decay. This greatly expands the possibilities and makes it more flexible."

VERMONA Announces DRM1 MK IV Drum Percussion Synthesizer

via VERMONA:

"We’re excited to launch this brand new update to our classic drum and percussion synthesizer VERMONA DRM1. The DRM1 is a key part in our history. Its first generation, released in the 90s as Syncussion DRM1, caught wide attention. The MKII-version then continued and broadened the success and breathed new life into the VERMONA brand at the turn of the millennium. With the DRM1 MKIII, that we have been building since 2006, we can now look back at a total of 25 years of DRM1! This makes it one of the longest-lived electronic musical instruments. And we’re ready to launch the next quarter-century with this analog drum synthesizer from VERMONA.

DRM1 MKIV: Familiar, yet evolved
At first glance, you may not notice any difference from its predecessor. Indeed, from the outside, there isn’t any! The overall concept and user interface have remained the same: There are eight instrument channels, each with nine knobs for sound shaping, pan and volume control. The DRM1 is a musical instrument, a creative tool that wants to be touched and played.

Instead of trying to reinvent or change an already well-proven external design, with this update to version MKIV we decided to focus on the inside. We took time to thoroughly listen into the circuits and put energy and care into its details: Thoughtfully tweaking frequency ranges, revamping control curves, adjusting levels and redesigning sub-circuits. Our goal was to make the DRM1 MKIV the best drum synthesizer we've ever built!

DRM1 MKIV: Sociable and dynamic
To make integration into your studio more comfortable, we equipped the DRM1 MKIV with USB-MIDI in addition to the standard MIDI connections.

The optional trigger inputs have been significantly upgraded. Beyond gate pulses, they now also accept different voltage levels for triggering the instrument channels dynamically. The DRM1 MKIV with trigger inputs can also convert the analog signals into MIDI notes via USB or the newly added MIDI OUT connector making it an incredibly versatile MIDI interface.

Whether you're controlling the DRM1 MKIV via a DAW, a hardware sequencer, or a modular system, you’ll have the proper connection and further the ability to send the MIDI notes to additional devices.

DRM1 MKIV: More power under the hood
The power supply of the DRM1 MKIV is completely new. It now works anywhere in the world, without having to manually change the mains voltage. This is a huge relief for all of you who use the instrument at live shows. No less important: it works more energy-efficient than the old one!

DRM1 MKIV: Availability
The DRM1 MKIV will be available in March/April 2021. We are looking forward to your feedback, comments and questions.

Elektroakustischen Manufaktur, Erlbach"

Wavparty - SY0.5 Syncussion Sample Pack

video by wavparty

"Available now for $15: https://wavparty.com/downloads/sy05-s...

The Wavparty SY0.5 Syncussion sample pack features analog drum and synth sounds from the Michigan Synth Works SY0.5, a modern Eurorack clone of the Pearl Syncussion drum synth from the 70s. The Syncussion became a cult hit with electronic producers thanks to its wide sonic palette and ability to create sonic weirdness. Used prices skyrocketed in 2014 when the Syro gear list revealed that Aphex Twin has 4 of them racked up.

This pack includes some clean sounds and some sounds that have been heavily processed with other Eurorack gear. The pack features 265 one shot sounds, 52 drum loops and an Ableton pack with 12 sample-based instruments."

Pearl Syncussion SY-1 Original Vintage Drum Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Pearl Syncussion SY-1 original vintage Drum Synthesizer with power supply, recently serviced and had internals cleaned by Thesis Audio Service in Wichita, Kansas, and given a clean bill of health, excellent working condition, cosmetics are fair. All switches, sliders and trigger inputs working great. This is the real deal, not a clone. What you see in the pictures is what you get. Item has typical minor cosmetic imperfections for a unit that is 40 years old but overall very nice. This unit is a lot of fun, especially when triggering by either pads or drum machines via the 1/4 inputs. Pads not included (I never had them)

There is no MIDI ! It sucks that I have to state this but some people are not aware that some of this vintage gear is Pre Midi. If you are looking for midi triggering, buy a clone."
