** INSIDE ** Dave Smith (DSI) Prophet X synthesizer during repair

Published on Jul 15, 2018 encrust1

"My DSI Prophet X had a fault on delivery with the LFO Freq control. Exceptional service at DSI meant that a replacement PCB was dispatched to me immediately for DIY replacement (in the the UK).

This rough and ready video documents the process and gives a glimpse inside the Prophet X for those interested!

Sound taken from my ohter recent video - a demo using a patch I made"

And a demo:

Dave Smirt (DSI) Prophet X - long play demo of custom patch

Published on Jul 12, 2018

"This synth has massive sweet spots - you can tweak the sound in so many ways and it will still be musical and emotional. This video is of a patch I made called 'The City'. This is a single part (no layering/splitting)

Slider 1 = more LFO (and slight sample) modulation of main oscillators
Slider 2 = more high pass filter (from effects) and tweaking of other FX params
Mod wheel = open analog LPF and reduce FX reverb time
Aftertouch = more oscillator slop

No external processing whatsoever - what you hear is the sound straight out of the Prophet X.

Sorry the video isn't pin sharp. But please still watch in HDfor better audio quality."

"Vintage, very rare Roland System 182 sequencer, part of the system 100M. It's in near mint condition (see photos) and comes with 8-pin DIN cable. The serial number is: 100740.

Some information from internet:

A two channel, eight step analog sequencer for producing control voltage changes in sequence to produce such things as melodic patterns, patterned tone colour changes, etc.

In series mode, voltage sequences of up to 16 steps may be programmed.

In parallel mode, 2 independent voltages can be preset for each of up to 8 steps, or one of the channel outputs can be used to control the sequencer clock so the timing between each step in the sequence can be different.

Several sequencers may be used in series for longer sequences, or in parallel for more channels of simultaneous output.

Tempo control: 7sec-3ms (0.14Hz-33Hz)
Portamento: 0-10sec, channel 1 only
Gate Time: 10%-90%
CV Out: 0-3v/0-10v
Gate Out: +14v, Impedance 2kOhm
Tempo CV Input: 0-10v, Impedance 120kOhm
Trig. In: +5-15v more than 1ms, Impedance 50kOhm
End Pulse Out: +14v 10ms, Impedance less than 3.3kOhm"

Fender Chroma Polaris Analog Poly Synthesizer SN 302655

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

via this auction

"Has brand-new membrane panels, installed 04/18. All keys function, and all 6 voices work great. Sweet!

Interior is clean, zero corrosion. All boards look great, nearly brand new.

Exterior is near pristine (some oxidation present on upper right of top panel) but overall excellent condition (9.5/10) for a circa 1985-86 vintage instrument.

Blue sides were recently rounded to remove edge damage, and blue stain was done with oil-based stain (Varathane Worn Navy) and urethane satin finish.

This is a 6 voice (12 VCOs total) analog synth with a 61-key velocity sensitive keyboard. It has selective pitch bend, which lets you bend some notes in a chord while keeping others fixed. It has a MIDI interface, and includes a built-in sequencer."

[demo] Introduction to Waldorf Quantum

Published on Jul 15, 2018 Synthesizer Video Service

"This is a 'short' introduction to the new Waldorf Quantum synthesizer. I tried to cover as many things as possible but there are too many features in this beast. So I focussed on the most important ones: wavetables, sample player, particle, resonator, analog filters, sequencer and komplex modulator."

New v 1.20 Firmware for Roland System 8 is a Big Update.
