Synthchaser #074 - Yet Another LinnDrum Repair - Troubleshooting Dead Drum Sounds


Published on Jul 3, 2017 Synth Chaser

http://www.synthchaser.com

"In case you didn't get enough LinnDrum repair excitement last week in Synthchaser #072, I'm back at it again, firing up a customer's "Wildcard" LinnDrum, which was purchased in unknown condition and without a power supply. We troubleshoot and fix some dead and incorrect drum sounds and give yet another LinnDrum a chance at life.

I repair and restore vintage synths (and drum machines!) for customers around the world."

Model 15 + Eurorack


Published on Jul 3, 2017 chisel316

"This is a demonstration of integrating hardware (Eurorack) and software (Moog Model 15) together in a patch. I'm using AUM and zMors Modular on the iPad to setup the Audio/MIDI Bridge plumbing, respectively. I'm also using Midiflow to remap CC16-19 since those are the Model 15 MIDI Bridge CCs that were conflicting with the Novation Launch Control XL which I'm using to control Model 15. The Ardcore is running FlexArp by rockwoofstone which is sending a 1V/Oct signal to Model 15 through the MIDI Bridge (zMors converts the CV to MIDI). I'm using the Model 15 oscillators and filters and the Kraftzwerg's LFO and envelopes. The PEG is providing the master clock. Lastly, the Expert Sleepers ES-3/ES-6 combo is providing the gateway between the hardware and software using a Behringer UMC 1820 as the audio interface. Hope you enjoy it!

"Up for sale is a basically mint Roland Sh-101. Zero color fading, no marked visible wear of any sort. Just see pics....its a stunner. Can't imagine it was played if at all.

However, it has an issue where is plays notes that repeat every other key. (every other key repeats the note from 2 keys previous, so the total number of sounds coming from keyboard is much lower)

Could be a quick fix, maybe a very cheap one too. I'd list a mint 101 for over $1000....so I'm cutting list price by 3-$350, so if you can do it yourself, you've just picked up the nicest 101 on ebay :)"

Never seen one of these below. It appears to be from the same SoundCity from Italy that manufactured the PedalBass here. That post and this one are the only two SoundCity posts on the site.

Details:
The typical situation for the vintage synthesizer is:
To operate smoothly and correct some keys and buttons needs cleaning. (knobs are ok)
Autotune setting is not active and I don't know how to turn it on to tune voices.
output signal sometime may not stay stable, could be to the loose connection. (not really sure)"

Moog Minimoog Model D

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

via this auction

"Vintage 1970's Moog Minimoog Model D that has just been serviced and calibrated so it sounds perfect and plays beautifully.

This vintage model is in really, really nice condition as you can see from the photos, picking up only a few little nicks here and there on the wood and a mark on the top right of the main panel over its 40 odd years history. Operationally it has just been passed a clean bill of health from (in many eyes) the top synth tech in the UK if not Europe. Keyboard bushings are in excellent condition also and this is a very fine example of the original and best Model D.

Some people may opt for the short term effect associated with buying one of the re-issues but long term this will undoubtably hold its value better and will be the more sought after model in future years. This presents an great opportunity to obtain the classic vintage Model D at around the price of a re-issue.

Delivery is expensive but these are valuable so this won't be sent out without the necessary full insurance, tracking and packaging done to perfection."
