Warning: some clipping in this one so don't turn it up too loud.

"Recorded directly into my phone (using a line-in cable, so it is recorded in mono), with no processing or editing. Weird that the video & audio goes out of sync at the end of the whole clip.

I am selling this particular VL1-m (has a new cool blue LCD just replaced), so I recorded the demo songs to show what this baby can do"

via this auction

"If you have not played with a VL1 or VL1-m in the past, please check out the youtube video. This will give you an idea of its sonic capabilities.

LCD display had been replaced with a new cool-blue LCD, which is much brighter and looking great. The LCD is seated slightly higher than the original display due to mechanical mounting differences (please see pictures).

The new LCD has LED backlight, which does not need a high voltage converter used on the original backlight that can fade over time and was sometimes plagued with high pitched whining noise coming from the high voltage converter.

New floppy drive also replaced, using NOS (New Old Stock) TEAC drive manufactured in 2010. To accommodate the new drive, a 34pin to 26pin floppy drive adapter is used (see picture). The original drive (which had a broken belt drive) used much older and uncommon 26pin flat cable, and a direct working replacement is nearly impossible to find. Please note the new floppy drive is unconfirmed for functionality because I do not have any new blank floppies to test. I got an old floppy disk from a friend which is probably 20 years old. The drive responds to read/format controls, and spins up but does not recognize the old floppy. Therefore I can't confirm the floppy drive is fully operational. If you do not want to use the floppy drive, the 34pin to 26pin adapter inside should allow you to replace the drive with a SD card reader emulator in the same form factor. That means you could put all the patch data available for download on the internet onto a single SD card for greater convenience.

120V version, which will take power between 100-120V (I was using 110V). I looked up the service manual, and the power supply has 2 part numbers (VS219600, marked J,U. And VS219700, marked H,D,B,A). The marking J,U means Japan, USA. So this unit is definitely designed to work between 100-120V." [image below]

ROLAND TR-808 Drum Machine w/ MIDI

"You already know what this is. If not you must have been living under a rock for 40 years. If so I don't need to tell you what it does or how it sounds. This is THE king of drum machines. As you can imagine it's a sad day for me selling this baby. But baby twins are expensive.

This was my OG baby and I've had it since the early 2000's, it is a little quirky with some buttons not working unless you press the later 13,14,15,16 once lit up will work but probably need a little work.

It is totally functional and works fine. Or money back.

I have had it midi modded and it does work but I can't remember the exact midi notes, its channel 10 and I believe the same notes as the first bank of an mpc2000xl pads, so one foot switch port was sacrificed for that. I can't 100% guarantee it's working but someone buying this will probably be analog synthy modular minded and know how to fix it. It was originally done by mungo if that means anything to anyone."

Blofeld wavetable pad sound design

Published on Apr 20, 2018 once upon a synth

"This is a tutorial on how to make a pad sound using wavetable oscillators on the Waldorf Blofeld. We'll make a patch from scratch and in the end we'll be able to quickly switch the patch from a pad to more of a keyboard patch using the mod wheel."

Behringer Model D - soundtest and first experiences with the new synthesizer (Riamiwo StudioVlog 86)

Published on Apr 20, 2018 riamiwovideos

"After months of waiting the Behringer Model D finally arrived :) Here's a first test session, where I checked the mainly tested the sound. In the first part I played the Model D with the Keys of the Moog Sub37, in the second part I sequenced it with the Arturia BeatstepPro using CV.
After my first sessions with the Model D I would definitely say it sounds like a Moog;)"
