The Quantum Key EP preceded Quantum Gate and both delivered an updated, contemporary development of their trademark sound: sequencer-driven electronica covering a wide range of moods and atmospheres from ambient soundscapes to energetic, upbeat moments.

The Quantum Years material began as a concept and series of musical sketches by Froese before he passed away in 2015. Remaining band members Thorsten Quaeschning, Ulrich Schnauss and Hoshiko Yamane worked together to realize Edgar's visions and expectations of a conceptual body of work that attempts to translate quantum physics and philosophy into music.

Tangerine Dream have been a fundamental influence on electronic and progressive music since their formation in West Berlin, 1967. Inspiring genres, musicians and other art forms, from The Future Sound of London to Porcupine Tree, the widely popular TV show Stranger Things (for which their music also featured in) to seminal video game Grand Theft Auto V (for which they helped to write the soundtrack).

Antimatter Audio Crossfold Wavefolder And Crossfader

Published on Mar 26, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Antimatter Audio Crossfold is an 8 stage wavefolder that sounds great with all waveshapes, not just triangle waves like some folders, and features two crossfolders on the input and output. The crossfaders add great utility for dry/wet blending and mixing the two inputs as well as working as a VCA and a few other tricks. We used the Crossfold on a sequenced synth line, drone and to make a metallic percussion sound in this video, but there are many more things you could do with the crossfold.

MPC Electronics MPC-1 with Elby Designs MIDI Retrofit-8

"The enigmatic MPC-1, called the British 808 by some, used by Depeche Mode, Thomas Dolby and others. I've owned this particular unit for well over 10 years now, but have finally given it the sorting out it deserves and since I have no room for the rather large beast, it's ready for a new home.

Like so many other vintage pieces, this suffered a nasty battery leak on the digital (sequencer) board, trashing it. I have completely removed the digital board (not that anyone would really miss the very limited sequencer it housed) and installed an Elby Designs MIDI Retrofit-8 ( formerly the MIDI2SDS) to give you MIDI control over the voices.

The Elby interface is very straightforward to program to your needs, lift the front panel of the MPC-1, hit the "Learn" button on the interface, and it's in omni learn mode - play the MIDI notes in sequence on the channel you want and it's set. I currently have it set to respond to channel 1and the first eight natural notes starting at C3. Bass is boomy, snare is brilliant, open and closed hats are fizzy, claps and cymbals (switchable from the MPC-1) are awesome, and Toms 3 & 4 do a great Simmons impersonation. For unknown reasons I haven't been able to figure out, Toms 1&2 will not trigger via MIDI - they trigger from the pads, but not MIDI. Otherwise, the noise for Tom 1 does not work. Those are the only real "issues". You may look into sorting that or not, but you still have Toms 3&4 working great.

Like so many of these, the pots are often wonky, specifically the voice level pots. This unit has wonkiness with just about all of the level pots, so forget about using the glorious mono output and use the indie outs! Included in the sale is a period-correct Yamaha KM802 mixer, so you have the ability to mix and pan the indie outs as you desire, and even get EQ on the first 2 inputs. The internal mixer was pretty noisy, so using an external is really the only way to go. I'm also including enough 1 meter long HOSA dual cables to hook you up."

1982 Korg Trident MK2 SN 10262 w/ MIDI

"1982 Korg Trident MK2. It's in fabulous condition considering it's age and has just been fully serviced, tested and tuned by the synth guru that is James Walker. I also had him install the CHD Elektroservis midi kit so it's as bang up to date as it's possible to be.
The bodywork is a bit bruised and the underside of a couple of keys have very small chips in them, although nothing so bad that it's offensive and definitely doesn't affect the playability. It could easily be made to look better with a bit of French polishing TBH!"
