Bruce Forat Emu SP-12 Turbo

"Emu's legendary Sp12 Turbo slightly second only to the SP1200. Freshly back from a complete check up and minor tune-up and new battery from Bruce Forat, this is one of the cleanest units we have ever seen. We all know that legendary 12bit crunch from our favorite Daft Punk records and classic hip hop records. No plug-ins have yet to emulate the real thing, so don't miss out on this incredible tool for your classic house and hip-hop tracks.

One of the main advantages over an SP1200 is the battery stores whatever you've done to memory after you turn it off, so when it's back on it's all there where you left off! Another key advantage is being able to transfer samples via midi using software! And of course, SP1200's have sky rocketed in price, putting them out of the reach of most people."

Oberheim OB 8 with Midi & Aftertouch

"Oberheim OB8 with factory midi in excellent functional and cosmetic condition.The OB 8 comes with a travel case and original OB8 operating manual and patch cassette.

This unit has been modified in 3 ways. 1) The original problematic Panasonic keyboard has been replaced with a new custom Fatar keyboard. This keyboard has a built in aftertouch sensor and was installed by Retrolinear. 2) A sophisticated AT circuit was installed by New England Analog and includes a Pyxis controller and external pressure pad controller. Check out YouTube videos by New England Analog and the Pyxis control system.The Pyxis controller allows the AT to control the VCO, VCF, VCA, and LFO by intensity and speed. A series of toggle switches on the back of the synth allow a variety of AT combinations such as pitch bending up, down, or Osc 1 up and Osc 2 down. Do a search on NEA's Pyxis controller and its capabilities and 3) bass boost which was done by replacing the 100k R505 and R506 resistors with 1M resistors(4) and building a network of 4x of 120K resistors and 0.0056 film caps in series and connecting the small network in parallel to the new 1M resistors.This modification helps create a better low end somewhere in between a standard OBX-A and an OB 8.

This particular unit was in great functional shape when purchased and I invested another $2500 with NEA and Retrolinear on the refurbishing and mods.The rebuild work done includes:
replaced capacitors in PSU
Repaired faulty envelope generator release control on upper four voices
Installed new 5V bridge rectifier
replaced 40109 chips and top voice board 3080 chips
Replaced calibration summing TL 071 Op amp and the two TL 072 output OP amps.
Installed Fatar keyboard with factory aftertouch sensor
Installed aftertouch circuitry and Pyxis AT controller and touch sensor pad
all 16 oscillators tuned and calibrated.
Loaded factory preset patches"

Radikal Technologies RT 451Stereofilter

Published on Jun 14, 2016 lfoone

"Analog Stereofilter fürs Eurorack! Ich nutze das gute Stück als Filter für meine Drumsubgruppe. In diesm Video habe ich den Synthesizer JDXi von Roland mal durch das Filter geschickt um damit mal darzustellen, wie herrlich warm und frisch ein digitaler Synthesizer klingen kann. Das Filter eignet sich hervorragend für die analogisierung von digitalen oder virtuell analogen Klangerzeugern und wertet diese um ein vielfaches auf. Es muss also nicht gleich eine teurer Real Analogsynthesizer sein.
Ich hoffe euch gefällt was Ihr seht und vor allem hört."

Googlish:

"Analog stereo filter for Eurorack! I use a good piece as a filter for my Drumsubgruppe. In diesm video I have the synthesizer JDXi Roland once sent through the filter in order to present times how wonderfully warm and fresh, a digital synthesizer can sound. The filter is ideal for analogization of digital or virtual analog sound generators and evaluates them on many times. So there must be a more expensive Real Analog Synthesizer is not equal.
I hope you like what you see and hear mainly."

Modular Jam 54 "Ditto That"

Published on Jun 14, 2016 ngarjuna

"Drums in Sector (iOS): I tossed 4 reps of the drum loop (Jamstix-AD) into Sector and then setup a probabilistic grid with a fairly straight version of the loop on the bottom of the circle and various effects and glitches on the top of the circle. The grid lines determine whether the pattern will step to the next sector (clockwise starting from 3:00) or jump to one of its possible variant sectors on the top.

Sequencer 1 driving Rubicon sigmoid
Into the VCF 303 enveloped by itself and modulated by PEG (both channels combined in Maths)
Into uVCA enveloped by VCF 303 (Gate and Accent)
Distortion from module (VCF 303), Angel Lofte Source Plus (tubes) with Klanghelm SDDR (fuzz), and guitar amp

FM Off Lead Voice
Rene driving the STO
STO dynamically LIN FM'd (via Optomix and Maths plus Wogglebug STEPPED OUT) via its own SUB
STO Vari SHAPE modulated by a ramp LFO from Sequencer 1
Into Optomix enveloped by Maths (FALL modulated by another ramp LFO from Sequencer 1) and damp modulated by Rene
Delay in DubStation

SMR Voice
Sequencer 1 giving off gates from: Gate, Accent, CV1, CV2, CV3 and Clock into the SMR CV ins for each channel
Custom scale (basically pent minor)
PEG (slower channel) rotating the scale in time

Robot Sex Voice
Sequencer 1 driving Sputnik 2 and Rubicon
Sputnik 2 FM'ing the Rubicon (dynamic via Maths ch4 being Fall modulated by Sequencer 1)
Maths ch1 (very slowly) cycling CV into the extra exponential input (with attenuverter part way up into positive)
Rubicon triangle out into the Timbre modulated by Sequencer 1

FM Hash Percussion Voices
Rene driving Sputniks and STO
258 FM'ing itself from SUB (dynamically via double PEG [OR] and Optomix or uVCA)
In one patch it's SQUARE from the Waveshape out (modulated by SMOOTH CV OUT from Wogglebug)
in the others it's SINE out into Timbre modulated by PEG envelope(s)
Into the Optomix where it either drones (damp modulated by Rene) or gets enveloped by Maths"

Crumar Bit99 synth demo - instant 80s

Published on Sep 7, 2015 Susan Gardener

An overview of the Crumar Bit99.

"This is the Crumar Bit99, produced in 1985.
It was marketed simply as the brand Bit with no mention of Crumar, presumably as a rebranding exercise. They were jumping on the digital bandwagon with the name, but apart from the oscillators and control circuitry this is an analog synth. The DCOs, unlike many of their competitors, are not digitally controlled analog oscillators - I understand the waveforms are digitally generated. After the oscillators, the signal path is pure analog with 6 voice polyphony and a bi-timbral capability. You can layer sounds - either in mono or stereo, or split sounds across the keyboard. The stereo is simply 2 outputs, one for each layer, or if a single timbre is selected it will split voices across the outputs. In the demo I have the lower output assigned left and the upper output assigned right.

The architecture was quite advanced for its day, with 2 oscillators and 2 envelope generators per voice. It also has fully assignable velocity sensitivity and full MIDI capability. The design philosophy was very much 'no knobs', but with the architecture and parameter numbers printed on the front, editing was actually pretty simple.

The Bit99 was the top of the range of Bit synths from Crumar, following on from the Bit One keyboard and Bit 01 expander. I'm not sure why it never really caught on as it's the equal of synths such as Roland's JX8P, which I also own."
