"In this video, we explore some sound examples from a folded PWM synth voice using the Tš-L as the primary audio source.
Connecting the PWM Output to the Wavefold CV Input allows for four levels of timbre control via the PWM knob/PWM CV Input, the PWM Waveform Crossfade knob, the Wavefold knob, and the Symmetry Bias knob. The sequencer or keyboard sends voltages to Tš-L while simultaneously triggering the envelope generator. The CV output of the envelope generator opens the filter and VCA, allowing Tš-L’s signal to pass through. More traditional East Coast patches would incorporate separate envelope generators for the filter and VCA."

"This video features an ARP Omni 2 synthesizer that has been modified with a custom LFO expander daughterboard. The PCB comes assembled and measures 2.7 x 3.2 cm.
This upgrade is simple to install, and it provides the LFO with 2 additional waveforms. A 3-position toggle switch controls the waveform selection. An adhesive-backed overlay decal is provided with the kit. The switch will allow sine, square, and random LFO waveforms to be selected. Kit includes instructions for expanding the range of Omni 2 VCF so that it can self-oscillate. This modification greatly expands the sonic possibilities of the ARP Omni. This kit will work on ARP Omni 1 as well. It can also be used to add an auxiliary sample and hold waveform to ARP Axxe, Odyssey, and Quadra LFOs."
"The unit has been well maintained and has had the following work/mods done:
Replaced the noisy ARP power supply with a Power One linear supply
Unit was completely recapped in 2015.
All analog ICs and digital ICs were replaced
All sliders removed and restored. All now move smoothly.
Slider caps replaced with new ones.
Pratt Read keyboard bushings replaced in 2015.
Aftertouch added to the keyboard.
Aftertouch amount is routed to the ACC/PEDAL slider. The aftertouch affects the VCF cutoff. Additional waveforms added to the LFO. Originally only had sine LFO. Added square and sample & hold LFO. Sample & hold is the same circuit as ARP Odyssey MK1 S&H. Sounds great. 4075 VCF module recapped and had the cutoff frequency design error corrected. (Originally there was a design error, keeping the cutoff from fully opening up)
The finish on this Omni is not pristine. When I got it, it had been neglected for years after being in storage. Cosmetically, this is a 6/10 as there is evidence of lots of use on the powder coating.
I've attached a video deomonstrating the LFO mod I did to this Omni. The unit in the video is actually this Omni, but I have since removed the LED sliders, since I thought they were annoying."

"Released during the era of the Minimoog and ARP Odyssey, Octave's The Cat is a classic analog synthesizer whose design closely resembles the ARP Odyssey, leading to legal action from ARP in the late 1970s. This monophonic/duophonic synthesizer features two oscillators capable of square and sawtooth waveforms, with VCO 1 also offering a triangle waveform. Each waveform can be played simultaneously and mixed, with additional sub-octave oscillators on each VCO for creating rich and interesting sounds.
The keyboard can switch between 2-voice (poly) and 1-voice (mono) modes. In mono mode, the two oscillators can be stacked for a rich mono-bass or mono-lead synth sound. Poly mode splits the oscillators into separate voices, allowing for slightly more complex melodies with overlapping notes or basic pads. The sub-oscillator plays an octave below the actual note, adding warmth and depth to your sounds.
The Cat has been used by artists such as The Dust Brothers, Chemical Brothers, Devo, Rod Argent, David Bedford, Lyn Berger, Dave Greenslade, OMD, Loaded, and Mixmaster Morris. This particular unit features an additional, unlabeled knob next to the pitch slider, which controls the modulation intensity on the VCO. When turned to its maximum value, it creates a "pulse-like" effect, producing an extreme pump sound wave. This unique modification enhances the synth's versatility and character.
The synthesizer is in very good condition, fully functional, and includes the bottom panel, which was removed only for photographing the circuitry and showcasing the clean internal workings. The only real sign of wear is the power cable is missing the grounding prong. Complete with the original manual, this vintage Cat synthesizer is a rare find for any enthusiast or collector."
"need to writeThe ModBap Osiris is currently my favorite wavetable oscillator: it has high fidelity, built-in processing such as stack & detune, a suboctave, a VCA, and more. It also allows you to load your own waveforms into it.
This caused me to sample my favorite waves and tricks on my “Monster” Eurorack modular system and load them into the Osiris, so I could take some of my favorite sounds with me on the road in my travel case. I created four banks: East Coast, West Coast, Formants, and Harmonics.
I did not just sample, say, the sawtooth wave of all of my VCOs; I created patches like audio-rate waveform crossfading, processed them through tube VCAs, sent the fundamental plus second or third harmonics of a warm sine through Serge-based wavefolders and rectifiers, and dialed in my favorite sounds on the Livewire AFG, Verbos Harmonic Oscillator, and Xaoc Devices Odessa as well as different formant filters and filter banks.
As fun as the individual waveforms are, the real trick is what I did with the Y axis of the wavetables: Instead of just loading more waves, I filled them with the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th harmonic of the source waveforms. That means as you modulate the Y value, this WavPak smoothly crossfades between different consonant musical intervals to the root (octave, octave + fifth, two octaves, two octaves + third, two octaves + fifth, and three octaves). When layered with a second oscillator tuned to the root pitch - or with the Osiris’ own subharmonic - the result are musical intervals under voltage control. Used with the Osiris’ subharmonic plus its stack & detune algorithm, and now one VCO sounds like three - with custom waves!

Je vends mon synthi A mk1, formes d'ondes séparées sur chaque oscillateurs, comme sur le vcs3.
Nombreux fonctionnalités ajoutées par un professionnel en Belgique, lors de la vente le synthi sera révisé par ce même professionnel, la référence mondiale pour les machines ems.
Les options prévues par ems à l'origine et rajoutées : sample and hold, slew limitersur l'attaque de l'enveloppe, carte CV gâté potabellaz et je donne un petit clavier pour le séquencer et jouer des notes.
Il a aussi un oscillateur supplémentaire avec forme d'ondes switch le, la synchronisation de tous les oscillateurs entre eux . J'ai fais mettre un joystick de mk2 pour un achat de ks et de façon à ce qu'il ne gêne pas dans la valise. Il a aussi un porte carte rajouté pour les cartes patch.
Je peux aussi envoyer des vidéos si vous êtes réellement intéressé ;)
C'est donc une formidable machine parfaitement fonctionnelle !
A un prix raisonnable ;)"

"Hello,
I am selling my synthi A mk1, separate waveforms on each oscillator, like on the vcs3.
Many features added by a professional in Belgium, during the sale on synthi will be revised by this same professional, the world reference for ems machines.
The options originally planned by ems and added: sample and hold, slew limiter on the attack of the envelope, CV card spoiled potabellaz and I give a small keyboard to sequence it and play notes.
It also has an additional oscillator with waveform switch, the synchronization of all the oscillators between them. a mk2 joystick for a ks purchase and so that it does not get in the way in the suitcase It also has a card holder added for patch cards.
I can also send videos if you like. are really interested ;)
So it's a fantastic, perfectly functional machine!
"Up for adoption and looking for a new home: One Akai AX60 Analog Synthesizer - 80's goodness included!
These are truly unique sounding - VCO's give it classic analog warmth but the filter is brash and metallic sounding (with resonance that can kill small animals.) - It has a very Juno 106ish chorus (minus the surf sound feature) and some useful tricks like an arp and mono/osc stack mode. Also in the strange and wonderful category is the ability to process select Akai samplers through these juicy filters with some potentially unobtainable multipin cable (that function I can not verify.)
The good: Everything works. It stays in tune and sounds delicious. MIDI and all functions tested and performing as advertised. All keys trigger and the buttons don't require any additional mashing.
The bad: It has one replacement fader that doesn't quite match the others and one of the display overlays (for waveform selection) is indented (probably a 5 minute fix for somebody brave enough to wrench on it, but that's not me.)
The ugly: Surface scratches but overall decent cosmetics - keys aren't yellow and all the lights light up. Somebody (for an unknown reason) stuck a sweet vintage "Boss Sound Innovator" sticker on it. It's period correct so I left it."
"Explore the unique and rare Yamaha CS-40M, a 2-note polyphonic synthesizer that shares the legendary CS80’s fat, rich sound thanks to its sub-oscillator per oscillator configuration.
The CS-40M features a distinct architecture with its sub-oscillators positioned after the high-pass filter, allowing for the creation of truly unique and interesting sounds. It boasts the same low/high-pass filter as the CS80 and CS70M (the IG00156) but with added versatility due to its bandpass mode, which offers more flexibility compared to the CS80's single filter.
One of the standout features of the CS-40M is its 5 modulation routes. Each route operates at the same speed but offers its own waveform choice and depth. You can modulate either or both oscillators, the filter, the amp’s ADSR, or the entire synth. The ring modulator can also be introduced to modulate the whole synth at a different speed, creating an incredibly dynamic soundscape.
Produced in limited quantities between 1979 and 1986, the CS-40M is a rare gem in the synth world. While it includes 20 presets similar to the Jupiter 4, these presets aren’t tweakable. However, the live panel interface, akin to the MiniMoog, is user-friendly, responsive, and satisfying to use.
With its 44-note full-size keyboard and synth action, the CS-40M is a joy to play and can be seen as a 2-note polyphonic version of the CS70M.
