Aodyo Anyma Omega & Loom Kickstarters On Hold After Receiving 273% & 321% of Funding Respectively
It looks like Aodyo's Anyma Omega & Loom are on hold, and unfortunately it appears backers may be out their funds as their money went towards pre-production.
Key points from the full Kicstarter message further below:
1. "Given that the funds have been used entirely to advance these projects, we regret to inform you that a refund of your contributions is unfortunately impossible at this stage."
2. "However, if we do not succeed in securing new investments or partnerships in the coming weeks, we will be left with no other choice but to file for bankruptcy."
3. "In closing
We know this is not the message you were hoping for, and we share your frustration. We want to express our deepest gratitude for your support and belief in our vision, and we remain hopeful that a solution can be found."
The full message follows:
"Dear contributors,
We apologize for the delay in getting back to you and thank you for your sustained patience. During this time, we have been doing everything we can to avoid the situation we now find ourselves in. In the spirit of transparency and honesty, we want to share the challenges we are facing and provide a clear picture of where we stand.

the Power of 2 x LYRA-4 (SOMA labs demo)
video upload by SOMA Laboratory
"Reissue of the legendary synth!"
"We present to your attention the revived version of LYRA-4, organismic synthesizer, the younger sister of the famous LYRA-8. “Organismic” means that LYRA uses some principles that lie in the base of living organisms. The way how LYRA’s modules interacting between each other and the behaviour of the instrument resembles a live conversation. It’s smaller and weighs less but is equally rugged in design, and still packs a lot of punch. This makes it easy to fit in a backpack and perfect for taking the LYRA sound on the road. And playing two LYRA-4s can actually sound very different than just one LYRA-8.
LYRA-4 is based on four generators, which will be referred to as voices. Their design is not like a traditional subtractive synthesis VCO. Instead of having a linear or logarithmic dependency on control voltage, they resemble the tone generators in old electric organs. Hence the use of the term “voices” instead of “VCOs”. Lyra uses non-linearity a lot, and the voices are constructed in such a way that allows for non-linearity to express itself.
The voices are divided into two pairs (12, 34), creating tree-like structure.
The voices can function either in an electric organ mode or in an FM synthesis mode with each of the voices and its envelope acting as a separate FM operator. The voice’s impact on FM synthesis will decrease along with the decay of its envelope.
LYRA-4 also has the next blocks:
The HYPER LFO is a complex low-frequency generator, whose waveform is synthesized from two simple LFOs by summation or multiplication of their frequencies. It also has a sync mode. The LFO can modulate the selected pairs of voices and the MOD DELAY.
The MOD DELAY consists of delay with feedback. The delay has a unique possibility of self-modulation where the output signal modulates the delay sample rate, creating cool effects.
The DISTORTION is last in the chain, after the delay. It enables the delay to also influence the distortion.
For all its experimental character, LYRA is a professional instrument. Its output dynamics and frequency response are balanced and ready for a live performance or studio recording without any additional processing.
Colors: Black and White. Yin and Yang 🙂"

Here We Are by ThorF
"So, here we are. Me and you, together in this very moment.Thank you for reaching this point. You make it all worth while. The music on this album, was written/recorded in the last 4 years. Everything ,except mastering, was done in my home studio in LA. To sculpt the atmosphere you are listening to I used various synths and efx. All hardware. Clicks & pops, mis-timed midi messages, live mistakes and other things :) It’s all on it. For few good reasons. It’s how the hardware I own, sounds. It’s how I play my instruments, sounds. From the computer that records the audio to the end of the FX chain.
The machines have character.
I hope their character gets delivered to your ears with these recordings.

ELKA EK-44 + Full Expansion Set (5 Cards)
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Superb ELKA EK-44 in near mint conditions. The synth comes with all the 5 expansion cartridge featuring 32 patches each, for a total of 224 sounds (including the 64 internal ones). Here you will get 5 ROM card (expansions 1->4) and 1 RAM card (expansion 5). The machine is in perfect working conditions and just looks great. Professional packing and UPS Express Saver shipping guarantee.
History
The 80s saw Yamaha dominate the synthesizer industry with its groundbreaking FM synthesis. The release of the DX7 in 1983 caused a deep crisis for manufacturers specialized in analog synthesizers. Yamaha not only patented the new synthesis model but also produced cost-effective and reliable chips for digital sound generation making these new keyboards more powerful and reliable, more cost-effective and easily industrialized. The blow to Italian companies was severe, even for those that had long invested and innovated by introducing digital systems into their projects. They faced significant challenges because the 'core' of their equipment remained anchored to traditional analog generation, which was no longer competitive.
Italian FM
But some companies, despite suffering a setback, managed to reorganize and respond with some interesting proposals after a few years of hardship. Specifically, ELKA, the company that designed and marketed the glorious ELKA SYNTEX just a few years earlier, successfully acquired a series of ICs capable of generating sounds and waveforms using FM technology. With these components, ELKA created a range of highly interesting products for that era. Although the chips used (the YM2203) were manufactured by Yamaha and primarily intended for the video game and arcade console sector, ELKA's creative engineers successfully integrated them into their musical instruments, creating a new FM product line.
EK-44 : The flagship FM Synth
The top-of-the-line synthesizer created with these new chips was the EK-44, a multi-timbral 4-OP FM synthesizer with 18 voices of polyphony and 8 oscillators. Inside, it houses two identical sound generators named DCG1 and DCG2, each employing 6 YM2203 chips (4 operators with 8 different FM algorithms), making it capable of generating multiple sounds simultaneously — a remarkable feat for its time. The 2 voice processors can be split, layered or played as 8 independent parts with own Midi channels and mix volume.
Usability
The EK-44 operates in a similar manner to the Yamaha DX7, except that the its LCD display is a little more informative, although some information (the equivalent of the DX7's algorithm charts) is hidden from the user so you don't have to worry about it. So, when we go through the basic parameters, keep in mind that most of them are represented in the LCD display by an eight-section bar chart. Whether we're talking about oscillator volumes, frequencies, envelope levels or whatever, eight little columns in the display give you a good visual indication of the current state of affairs, while the first eight of the sixteen Performance Registration buttons directly beneath the display allow you to choose which of the available levels you're editing.

Note auction links are affiliate links. See the site's privacy policy for more info.
Curious if that's MOOGSPIRIT printed on the box below. It was designed by Bob Moog but the synth does not have his name on it, so it would be interesting if it was on the box. It could be MONO but what's left doesn't look like an N to me. If it is MOOG there's no space between it and SPIRIT. I believe this is the first post to feature the box.
Details from the listing:
"Not only is this a super rare synth (Serial number: 011) designed by Bob Moog, this particular unit was purchased new directly from the Crumar booth at the 1983 NAMM Show here in Chicago. The original buyer has kept it safely stored for the last 40 years, never used! Guaranteed you will NEVER find a cleaner example of this rare synthesizer.
Our service department have performed a fresh recap on this as the originals dried out after years of sitting in storage. The synth functions wonderfully, like new as you would imagine.
Includes the original box with evidence of being express shipped from Italy to the NAMM show. In addition to the original manual, warranty paperwork, cables and carrying case and pouch."

The Uncanny Surrealism of the Osmose Expressive E

"The Osmose is inherently susceptible to an emotional response akin to our revulsion toward humanlike robots. I admit that this may seem a bit exaggerated, but I consider this evidence of a marked advancement in music technology; the Osmose gives keyboard players the ability to inject nearly as much expression into a synthesizer engine as musicians are able to express with tactile acoustic instruments.

Press Release follows:
"Synclavier Digital releases regenerated Synclavier® II trailblazer as timeless Regen desktop synthesizer bolstered by present-day DSP developments
NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: soft-launched late last year to widespread critical acclaim at the Synthplex® synthesizer expo and electronic music festival hosted at the Marriott Convention Center in Burbank, CA, USA with pre-orders opening for fulfilment in 2023, timeless synthesis product manufacturer Synclavier Digital is proud to announce wider availability of Regen — released as a desktop synthesizer that is, in short, a real regeneration of New England Digital’s seminal Synclavier® II digital synthesizer that took the pro audio industry by storm when introduced in its initial incarnation in 1980 (evolving beyond that to blaze more technological trails with polyphonic sampling and, ultimately, DAW — Digital Audio Workstation — capabilities well before that term was invented, even), extended and enhanced to take advantage of the increased computing power available today to make it as compelling in a modern setting as the prohibitively pricey original did during its time (finding favour with top-tier film composers, record producers, and recording artists), while the considerable cost and size reductions associated with Regen’s present-day design criteria conversely position it well within reach of (almost) anyone — as of June 29…

GIANTS | Bernie Krause
video upload by Moog Music Inc
"'GIANTS' is a platform for legendary electronic musicians and innovators to express themselves through the art of storytelling. This documentary series, filmed and produced by Moog Music, is about honoring and preserving the legacy of these artists and sharing their untold stories with the world.
This installment of 'GIANTS' focuses on one of the Moog modular synthesizer’s earliest advocates: soundscape ecologist and bio-acoustician Bernie Krause.
Once a Motown session guitarist intrigued by early advancements in the world of electronic music, the artist’s first Moog modular synthesizer encounter in 1965 led him to develop a new understanding of sound and musical expression. It was this understanding and early adoption of the instrument—co-owning one of the very first models—that helped Bernie and his musical partner Paul Beaver introduce the Moog synthesizer to the likes of George Harrison, The Monkees, The Byrds, and The Rolling Stones."

Eden Grey - live @SUPERBOOTH22
video upload by Superbooth Berlin
"Miami-based Chelsea Bruno also known as Eden Grey makes music using her own techniques approaching music technology, in an effort to express the ineffable. Dr. Bruno began researching and working with the Eurorack modular synthesizer whilst earning her Masters’ degree at Florida International University in Music Technology.
Modular synthesis was the main research focus of her PhD in Music Composition at Royal Holloway, University of London, while participating in synth meets and performing in the UK and Europe, and organizing the CV FREQS London synth meet and concert events. She has been a very welcomed guest and performer at SUPERBOOTH already.

video upload by Stefan Tretau
Details via ST Modular
Coming soon..
A semi-modular analog desktop-synthesizer
Featuring a dual complex oscillator characterized by simple and clear operation and uncompromised sound
Designed as an instrument that can be built, exolored and learned
DO IT YOURSELF! EUPHORIA is only available as a DIY-project and was designed to be built by passionate builders. It consists of fourteen individual circuit boards that are mounted on one controller board
MAIN FEATURES
TWO ANALOG OSCILLATORS
Two Voltage Controlled Oscillators with classic waveforms, waveshapers, sub-octaves and a noise source. Convenient sliding potentiometers for volume control of the waveforms. Based on the famous CEM3340 chip and a newly developed wave-shaping tone generator.
TWO SEQUENCERS
Play notes with a 5-STEP trigger and CV sequencer and an additional 4-STEP CV sequencer. Transpose and change the length of a sequence, control the tempo via CV, add swing or sequence manually with the push of a button.
OSC MIX & VARI BOARDS
Seamlessly blend the oscillators manually or by CV. Insert external audio and pass it through the Filter or internal Reverb. VARI BOARDS are interchangeable boards, each offering a different functionality. Choose the VARI BOARD that meets your requirements.
DUAL LPG, VCA & ADSR
Each oscillator is processed by a filter-based low-pass gate (PLG) and both are optionally routed through an internal AC-coupled VCA. Use the internal ADSR envelope to shape and express your sounds.
MODULATION & TOOLS
Get your sounds moving with the internal CV-controllable LFO and the Buchla 281e-inspired function generator. Multiply, invert and amplify your signals with a buffered multiple and an additional DC-coupled VCA.
