Rare Korg KWS-301 Wave Shaper Effect SN 000544

Thought this was interesting. Note the single proprietary connector. This requires a Korg PME-40X board to work. You can see an image of the board below along with other effects in the system.

"This is an analog, vintage Korg PME-40X Wave Shaper (KWS-301) effect module--the rarest from the PME-40x effects system. This module sounds huge and functions perfectly, but please note what appear to be 2 melts/burns to the casing, as highlighted in the pictures.

The sound generated from the circuitry is beyond unique and certainly has its own character. I use one on my own personal pedalboard, and am only parting with this as I already have a backup module, and another musician should have the opportunity to unlock the goodness within these.

Korg PME-40X effects board to operate this module."

"Everything works, sounds amazing. It has been modified by Music Control to allow external control via Kenton midi interface (this is not a complete Kenton upgrade, only control of pitch, gate and filter) On board sequencer much better if DIN synced with a TR-909 to get a groove... Genuine Roland power supply, battery compartment clean and lid is present. Unit was serviced by previous owner, this was completed by Music Control, see sticker on base of instrument."

Elka Synthex SN 987

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

via this auction

"This is a beautiful, rare vintage synthesizer made by ELKA in the 1980's. This is production no. 987 of only about 1,100 made in total. It's got a fat, original sound that you only get from analogue synths, and the Elka Synthex is the prince of analogue synths!!

Many famous artists such as "Tangerine Dream", Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran and Stevie Wonder have used one and Jean Michel Jarre swears by it.

Bought originally from the manufacturers in Porto Recanati (AN) Italy in 1984/5. It is in great working order, with only a couple of plastic parts missing, some sign of scratches and wear and tear as in any item used regularly for gigging."

Extended synth Improvisation

Published on Aug 21, 2015 Mitch Wiseman

"I never really do completely improvised live jams anymore, I usually always start with an idea, so I decided to just completely improvise this time. I designed a patch on the prophet and moog, the prophet had an lfo controlling an lfo which was set to cutoff, so it had a really odd texture to the sound which would speed up and slow down randomly. I used a beat I made for another video on the tempest, set it going and then just jammed. I recorded audio straight from my mixer into logic, no post production other than a little compression. Everything was recorded in on one mono channel. The Tempest was going through a HOF reverb, the Prophet was going through a Boss RV5 reverb, the moog was going through an MXR carbon copy delay, and the nord was going through a Line 6 POD.

Album coming soon..."

Insta - A4 Kit Demo

Published on Aug 20, 2015 11brassmonkey11

"I came across this little clip demoing a kit i'd made a few months ago and mucked around with, my intention was to make something much more fleshed out, have since over written the kit by accident... but thought it was still pretty cool to share.

I've just been going through and cleaning up a lot of things on my computer, sorting out my equipment, preparing a music space and getting ready to be productive making some music!"
