Published on Jan 13, 2016 AkaiProVideo
"In this video, we watch analog synthesis gurus INHALT explore the fat sound and sequencing features of our newest analog instruments, the Timbre Wolf and the Tom Cat. Foundation rattling sub bass lines, squiggly synth leads, ethereal poly chords and more are featured here."

"This is an 808 clone that packs its own character and punch. It's been since discontinued by German manufacturer MFB, and sought after by many looking for a small analog drum machine that won't suck their wallet dry."

Spectral Clouds - Modular Improv
Published on Jan 13, 2016 Modular Cult
"Most of the audio is being processed through Mutable Instruments Clouds in 'Spectral madness' mode. The video starts with the 100% wet signal out of Clouds and is then brought back to Dry with the Dry/Wet blend being modulated by CV.
The bass line is the MI Braids module using the 'Fold' model. It is filtered through a Yusynth Steiner Filter for Resonant peaks. The drums are produced by MI Peaks sequenced by my 'EVO' sequencers. The note sequences are produced by an Ozie.fr CV Memory. Additional reverb provided by a Strymon Blue Sky.
Thanks for watching!"

Super Rare Vintage 3M PFV3 Analog Formant Filter Effects Processor
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Just when you think you've seen it all, something like this pops up. I've never seen one before. Note this 3M was a small Italian brand and not the huge 3M manufacturing company that many of us are familiar with. Below are some details pulled from the auction. If you know more about the unit and the brand, including whatever happened to them, or the people behind the brand that may have gone onto other companies, please let us know! This is an interesting bit of synth history that was unknown to me until now.
"rare 3M vintage analog synthesizer processor, formant synth with vowels and parametric fine tune of vowels
3M - Model PFV3
Item was tested and is in perfect working conditions
This monofonic analog processor with formant synthesis engine inside works with a 9-volt battery inside; to enable it, plug the line input jack and set the switch to On. Then there are two outs: one wet (processed), and one dry; the volume level is adjustable. If the bypass button is pressed the two outputs are identical (dry). For the best effect should be used a timbre of violin as line input, maybe with more octaves (the string ensemble of the period of the birth of this thing).
The three buttons of vowels allow you to have Vowels 1-2-3 on output (A), an analog and hot effect type of variable Voice Choir; 1 is the Aahhh , 2 is the Oohhh and 3 is the IIhhh. Then there is the parametric filter, with three pots, with the typical formant parameters F1, F2 and F3. It must be said that the parametric excludes the vowels, as well as the bypass excludes all, then only one of the effects is used, and not all together. The item was made by 3M, an Italian brand based in Portorecanati. It was produced invery small numbers. The 9 volt battery was replaced by a techincian and it will last years. In the base is a hanging to insert the processor in a bar."

Vintage Galanti Clipper 61 Organ String Synth
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Here's an interesting bit of organ synth history; a Galanti Clipper 61. Presets include Organ, Flute, Horn, and Strings. There is a "Drum 6" rhythm section along with separate Bass accompaniment. There have only been three previous posts on the site featuring Galanti. One for an INSTAPIANO, one for an instaStrings, and a mention on the end of General Music. See that post for some history and the other brands affiliated with Galanti, including GEM, LEM and ELKA. The name Galanti actually comes from founder Antonio Galanti. A new Generalmusic incorporating the three brands was announced back in January of 2015. I believe the now canceled ELKA Synthex remake was to be the first product under the new brand. Their website is still live. Anyway, the Galanti Clipper 61 is an interesting piece of this history.
The following is the description from the listing:
"Galanti Clipper 61.
Organ combo made in Italia in the early 70 '.
Section bass / organ / percussion and vibrato and a drum machine.
Keys slats, 61 keys polyphony (and yeah clipper 61!)
UTILIZATION
This model includes two independent volumes:
The first controls the base function, the second organ sound, but acts as a balance between the organ and the bass.
Changes are managed by dominoes front, 3 for low, 4 for the organ.
Fixed vibrato, percussion, complete with a bonus effect wah!
Rhythm section includes a volume knob, one for speed, and a series of different rhythms ...
SOUNDS
The sound is great, between the synth and organ.
This is the famous 'cheezy sound' analog well as love.
Touch is also very nice, with afterfacts 'click' with the touch!
The bass is very powerful and hot, the organ sounds really marry perfectly to any type of effects: chorus / phaser / flanger / overdrive / self-wah...une graphic equalizer pedal allows you to control the sounds and adjust certain frequencies.
Moreover it is incorporated seamlessly into a mix by adding this small button 'cheezy' vintage!"
