"After 2 years of crazy synth buying, Vincent has the new Secret Records studio down to a mere 26 synthesizers that he claims are better than the rest.....
Before you watch, maybe you can make your own list of what you would have kept or make some guesses about what Crazy Vincent kept. Remember..... he's not like other people.

Superbooth 2023: Tubbutec - MC2oh2 An Upgraded 202

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2023, we spoke to Tobias from Tubbutec about the company's latest offerings. First up is the MC2oh2 mod, which is now available for €250. It's an upgrade for the original MC202, and brings a range of new features, including a 32-pattern sequencer with chaining capabilities, arpeggiator with Euclidean mode, and extra modulations such as LFOs and envelopes. The mod also adds noise with various noise colors. The MC202 mod will be available as a kit for the RE202 project by DinSync, which is a replica of the original MC202. Tobias also presented a microtune module, which is a MIDI 2CV/CV2MIDI and quantizer with clock generator. It's a versatile module that can load scales from an SD card, work microtonally, and tune VCOs. It's available for €340 for the base unit and €171 and €84 for expanders.

Tobias also showcased the 6mod6, a TR606 module with original circuitry but with extra flexibility and functionality. The 6equencer sequencer is built to compliment the 6mod6 but can send TR sequencing wherever you choose. It has eight channels for triggering or gating with a range of functions such as song mode, probability, swing, and more. Tubbutec also offers vintage synthesizer upgrades, including a universal interface for string machines and organs that can be used to interface with MIDI and an interface for Yamaha SK20, SK30, and SK50D synthesizers that adds MIDI input, an additional LFO, and other useful features. The soldering level required for the MC202 mod is minimal, but Tubbutec provides a list of synth techs around the world who can perform the installation for anyone with a fear of soldering."

"I believe I am up to 54 synths purchased and 34 sold in the last year. I keep saying I'm done but......

- All sound demo segments are played with absolutely no plans for the patches I am going to use or what I am going to play. I'm just winging it. Obviously.

- All audio is recorded dry, straight from the synths. Any effects you hear are internal effects built into that synth.

- All synths and everything else were purchased at regular prices. I have never been given a demo model or even loaned something by any company. I bought all this stuff.

- No, I'm not rich. The buying spree started with selling some synths I already had. Then when I wanted more stuff, I sold off more collectibles I already owned. The synths I decided not to keep then funded more synth purchases. I run a record label by myself and also work a full-time normal job. I worked my ass off for all this stuff.

- Yes, I know I have the Imovie skills of the average 8-year-old. I've never even owned a smart phone.

- This project has been really fun and taught me that the most sought after "classics" are not automatically for everyone. It also taught me that youtube synth demos and comparisons are not the final word. Nothing beats sitting down with an instrument and playing it.

"An amazingly rare 4 part synth with Monosynth, Polysynth, Stringand Organ sections that can all be layered together. Keyboard also featuresafter-touch on the Monosynth section.

Bigger brother to the SK20 and only outranked by the huge SK50D.The SK30 is no lightweight it packs a wonderfully unique sound (especially withthe 'ensemble' feature switched in). It weighs in around 23Kg so is mostdefinitely not one to be posted (collection only please).

Its in very good condition both cosmetically and electrically.Everything works and there are no nasty crackles or pops during operation. Someof the selector buttons need a firm push, but they all work as intended."

"The Yamaha SK50D is a massive (in sound and scale) late 80's analogue combo synthesiser with 6 different sections. It comprises of 2 different hammond-esque organ sections (one per keyboard) with leslie output, a Monosynth section (with aftertouch & CV-Gate), Solina-esque string synth & polysynth sections, and a seperate organ bass section.

It features dual 61-key keyboards for playing all the sections (including using the lower register of the bottom keyboard for the organ bass section), if you can hunt down the elusive Yamaha BP-2 organ bass pedals, you can use them with the SK50D to play the organ bass synth that way too.

This synthesiser is in excellent condition for its age & sounds fantastic."

"The SK30 has four sections that can be mixed together independently. Mono synth (also supported by after touch), Polysynth, Strings and Organ. Add to that the SK series unique 'ensemble' feature and you can create some quite fantastic and unique sounds.

The SK30 was next to top of the SK range, featuring the SK10, SK15, SK20, SK30 and SK50D. It has pretty much all the features of the SK50D with the exception of the separate bass control and second keyboard. As such it sits very nicely between the SK20, very popular in Japan since it had great performance and accessible pricing, and the SK50D which was a huge heavy monster with stunning performance and price!"
