via residentadvisor.net:

"Both artists, who are close friends, share a deep passion for the Buchla modular synth. Ciani's interest in the instrument stretches back decades—it's a newer obsession for Smith, who used it prominently on her recent album, EARS.

The Buchla instrument features prominently on Sunergy, with Smith performing on the Buchla 200e and Ciani using a Buchla Music Easel. The album was recorded in Ciani's home in Bolinas, California, which overlooks the Pacific Coast. According to RVNG, the record is "shaped by slow, pulsing forms and sinuous, melodic sequences that conjure both an oceanic world and the unlimited sound made possible by modular processing." An accompanying documentary on the album by Sean Hellfritsch will also come out when Sunergy sees release on September 16th."

"We are graced by the presence of this superior instrument, a fully functioning and lovely Roland Juno 106. The chips have all be refurbished by the eminent Synth Spa, so there are many years ahead for this glassy and diaphanous polysynth. We have had it additionally serviced on our end: replaced the battery, had the power supply recapped, and reloaded the factory presets. All sliders, switches and knobs are smooth and noise free, we're very pleased with this Juno."

Mode Machines brought again the ADX 1, a powerful 5 channel Analogue Drum Expander with individual outputs, MIDI control and infinite amount of sound tones thanks to its generous amount of knobs to control its parameters.
The 5 Channels provide different sound palettes.

We saw mention of the Mode Machines ADX1 back in NAMM of 2015. I ran a quick search on the site for ADX1, and there hasn't been much between now and then. The following are some details via Mode Machines. The ADX1 is based on the original MAM ADX1.

"Mode Machines brought again the ADX 1, a powerful 5 channel Analogue Drum Expander with individual outputs, MIDI control and infinite amount of sound tones thanks to its generous amount of knobs to control its parameters.
The 5 Channels provide different sound palettes.

Metal: Metal is used to create cymbal sounds and consists of two different metallic-sounding Generators. Two filters, Envelope/modulation options, Decay and Release.

HiHat: HiHat consists of one metallic-sounding noise generator and one “clean” signal, Pitch control, mix, modulation, filter, Envelope modulation, Decay and Release.

Snare: The sound of Snare is created by one metallic-sounding noise generator through two band pass filters connected in parallel, Decay and Release.

Synth: Is used to create sounds like bells or synthesizers and consists of 3 sinus Oscillators. FM and Bend for a wide palette of sounds, Attack and Release.

Congrats to DX5! :) As regular readers of the site know, DX5's videos have been a mainstay over the years here on MATRIXSYNTH.

"Celebrating DX5 10th anniversary on Youtube. I decided to play not only one but some DM songs and my own tracks (from 'Long Play Three', tracklist details will be updated soon)

Recorded on the same day but in different shots while I was working (placing and removing the camera, then some slight camera variations -axis and light- can be found between takes)

Gear:
Roland JP8000, Emu Emax I, Kurzweil PC1x, Access Virus TI Snow, Roland Promars MRS-2. Backtracks recorded by me and launched on Pro Tools.

Looking forward to the next 20th anniversary"
