The only thing to keep the holiday gluttony held in.

"You are looking at a very rare 1977 ARP INSTRUMENTS SYNTHESIZER VINTAGE BELT BUCKLE. This metal buckle measures 2.5 inches in diameter and is stamped on the back "©1977 ARP INSTRUMENTS INC" and sports the distinctive ARP logo on the front. See the detailed photos for a look at the finish. I don't claim to be an expert at such matters, but to me it appears in good condition for its age."

New Orthogonal Devices ER-101: Indexed Quad Sequencer Eurorack Module


ER-101 Indexed Quad Sequencer: Test Video from Orthogonal Devices on Vimeo.


via Orthogonal Devices (additional videos below) [note this is the first Orthogonal Devices post]

"Highlights
- 4-track sequencer
- stepped and smooth voltage transitions
- each track has 3 outputs: 2 CVs + 1 gate
- each track contains up to 100 patterns and each pattern can contain up to 100 steps
- steps can be 0-99 clock cycles in duration
- gates can be 0-99 clock cycles in duration
- CVs are chosen (indexed) from voltage tables of which there are 2 per track (A & B)
- built-in voltage tables: 12-tone equal tempered, 22 shrutis, linear 0-8V, exponential 0-8V, linear-exponential 0-8V and others
- voltage tables are user-editable and have 100 entries per table
- voltages between 0.000-8.192V at 2mV increments can be dialed in
- each track has its own adjustable loop points
- smoothing can be enabled for individual steps, entire patterns and/or entire tracks
- smoothed transitions are NOT simply slews but are adjusted to match the current tempo in real-time
- hold feature (complete double-buffering of device state) allows smooth musical edit-commit-at-will while the sequencer is running
- while in hold mode, committing changes to a running sequence can be either immediate or quantized to the beat
- reset can be either immediate or quantized to coincide to with the ending of the current track, pattern, or step
- stores up to 16 snapshots of the state of the entire device
- arbitrary insert/delete of patterns/steps with clipboard style copy/paste
- math button allows you to specify a mathematical operation to apply to a step, a pattern or a track.
- expansion port
- firmware upgradeable via USB

Poly-Neptune Vol 1: Free Spectral Audio Neptune II Ableton Instrument


Poly-Neptune Vol 1: Free Ableton Instruments (Chords Demo)

"I was curious what chords might sound like on a polyphonic Spectral Audio Neptune II, so I multi-sampled mine and created 5 Ableton instruments using Sampler.

You can download the Ableton live set with the free instruments at: www.audiobombs.com/items/285/poly-neptune-vol-1"

http://www.spectralaudio.ch/neptuneII.htm

"With the Neptune Mk2, Spectral Audio is again tickling out the best of the Analog Technique - three temperature stabilized Voltage Controlled Oscillators, the 24dB transistor cascade filter, the huge LFO range, its modulation flexibility, the envelopes and the transistor distorter section are speaking for itself."

Cooptrol - Session with Monomachine, Evolver, Micromodular

Published on Dec 6, 2013 cooptrol·27 videos

"My first session using these 3 synths. Not the greatest musical outcome but enough to catch a glimpse of their sound. I've had the MnM and the Evolver for just a couple weeks. I hope I can master them enough to exploit all their potential. Sorry for the shitty camera!"
