"Classic vintage analog synth needs absolutely no introduction

The chassis has a couple of marks which I have highlighted in the pictures, that's the only issue that needs to be mentioned, other than that the cosmetic shape is excellent.

The synth has recently been serviced and works perfectly, with accurate tuning and no noise or any other problem."

"In 1998, after several years without producing a single FM synthesizer, Yamaha released a new FM powerhouse...the FS1R. This little beast is far from your average FM synthesizer. Not only is it an eight-Operator variant, as opposed to the six- and four-Operator FM of the DX/TX lines, but it also features a new technology called Formant Shaping Synthesis. Formants are the spectral patterns making up the sounds of human speech. This allows for the creation of vocal like timbres but can also be applied in many different ways to create incredibly unique sounds that you won't find on any other synths."

"Famous German made TB303 clone sold under different names:
MAM MB33
Freebass FB-383

This is the Orange and silver version, I also have the older black version for sale. Perfect condition.

The MB 33 is a rack-mounted TB-303 clone released in the mid-nineties by German synth maker MAM (Music And More). It's basically identical to the Freebass 383 (which had a different front-panel design). It is a true analog monophonic bass synthesizer with MIDI implementation so you can create 303-like bass lines from your sequencer. Its single VCO offers the same two basic waveforms as the TB-303: a sawtooth and square wave. But in the MB 33 they can be mixed together for a more interesting tone than the 303 could originally produce.

Additional knobs control the VCO tuning, filter frequency cutoff, resonance, envelope mod amount, envelope decay time and accent intensity - the same controls found on the TB-303! The 24dB lowpass filter can also produce the characteristic sound of the 18 dB filter used in the original 303. There's also an auto-slide function (4 octave range) for producing those 303-style slides and a separate input for filtering external signals through it. Unfortunately there is no program storage."

006//R.E.M. [Melodic Ambient] - Mother 32 and Eventide Space


Published on Jan 29, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"A dark, melodic, semi-self-generating patch made on 1 Mother 32 sent through an Eventide Space hall reverb. No other processing has been applied.

After 001//Slumber, I wanted to see whether I could make a similar patch using just 1 Mother 32, without using any processing inside Ableton, and without using an external MIDI clock - just a Mother 32 and an Eventide Space being recorded. This is the result, which was much better than I expected!

The patch is semi-random, as the notes are sequenced. My main issues were sequence speed, and randomness; to slow the sequence down to below the internal tempo limit, I patched the square LFO to the Run/Stop input, causing the sequencer to turn off and on. To get more than 1 random voltage source I used the KB output, which, when mixed with other modulations, isn't obvious that the 'random' voltages are just following the note pitches.

2. A review of the prologue modulator/carrier structure and where the 7 fm parameters fit in it;
3. Sound tests of all the sub fx types of all six new effects
4. Sound demos of the new filter and compression features
5. Demos of the various voice and multitimbral options
6. Playing some presets..."

Roland JD-XA Sound Demo


Published on Jan 29, 2018 Stochastic Design

"In this video, we show a few patches we've created, and use the onboard sequencer for riffs associated with the sounds. Just a first look, nothing too remarkable. Let us know in the comments if you would like to see more in-depth sound design on this red beast!

The JD-XA has been described both as the spiritual successor to the JD-800, and a sound designer's dream.

The physical design and the way some features have been implemented seems to have prevented it from being universally praised, but the sonic capabilities of the hybrid analogue/digital synth engine are interesting."
