THEREMIN test - les diffYUseurs (Ondes Martenot's loudspeakers emulation)
Published on Jul 27, 2018 Therminal C I C Ehinger
"Les diffYUseurs is a device that emulates the sound & effect emitted by the different diffusers (loudspeakers) made by Maurice Martenot for the Ondes Martenot. It was created and designed by Yves Usson aka Yusynth (http://yusynth.net/index_en.php).
I have been testing a prototype Yves sent me (with my logo & name on it, so classy!!!) with my theremin. Yves did add some additional effects to this pedal - i am only showing a few in the video:
D1 - principal diffuser
D2 - resonance diffuser
D3 - metallic diffuser
D4 - Palme diffuser
Ring modulator
Tremolo & reverb
Bell
Additional effects are : chorus, flanger, pitch shift, pitch echo, transpose, a second palme diffuser, a second metallic diffuser.
A few other people also got a diffYUseurs and after our feedbacks, Yves will make some adjustments and offer a totally "theremin friendly" diffYUseurs. It will be available at the next Theremin Academy in Lausanne in February 2019. (https://theremin.academy/fr/)

EMS SYNTHI AKS Mk2

"Superb Mk2 AKS for sale in excellent working order and superb condition. This Synthi sounds and plays very well indeed - it's an inspiring, living instrument that rewards the user and encourages experimentation. It is a world away from sterile modern and soft synths: this beast takes you on unexpected musical journeys and is a sound designer's delight.
In excellent working order following a thorough overhaul and servicing. The keyboard cover was missing, so our synth tech Chris made a clear perspex cover for it, which looks stunning. This could be changed to a black finish if the buyer prefers. There are of course some dings, minor dents and scratches to the synth, but overall it's in very good condition.
While a good deal of work has been done to ensure it's as it should be, this is a vintage Synthi and some occasional foibles are to be expected. We take the view that servicing on these units should be sympathetic - recapping where necessary, but also keeping as many original parts in the audio path to retain character, even if it results in occasional minor flaws. A little noise is possible from some pots when it's not been used for a while, but this clears with use.
The patch matrix and pins have been thoroughly cleaned, but we did find one pin during testing yesterday that was intermittent, so can supply with new EMS replacements if preferred."

Kurzweil K2500 AES (Audio Elite System) Studio Production Synthesizer SN 459810ZS0015
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The only and unique mega synthesizer of the 1990s priced at $20,000, which back then was the equivalent of $30,000 today. Technically it is filled with all possible K2500XS extensions encased within a metallic champagne housing and sides of noble wood.
There were only a few K2500 AES units released and some of them were used by Pink Floyd. Today the might appear on sale priced at $6000-8000 and are distributed among collectors. Of course, today it is rather a work of art, but there’s no doubt that K2000 - K2500 - K2600 series still cope with music production quite well. In fact, these are one of those immortal synthesizers which once served as trendsetters, and in skilled hands they can make their magic even today."
Condition
"Fair to good condition . needs audio output repair., 1 Chanel is bad on the main outs and headphone outs. Will need minor repair. Unit also has 4 multi output stereo or mono pairs that work just fine."

Vermona DRM-1 MK III Analog Drum Machine SN D 17162
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is the version without trigger inputs (MIDI only). It comes with the original box, manual, and optional wooden end-cheeks, plus an aftermarket 110V <> 220V power supply (more on this below). (If you prefer, you can remove the cheeks and mount it in a 19" rack.)
I describe the DRM-1 as more of a percussion synth than a drum machine. It has the usual sounds, such as kick, snare, clap, and hihats (and these sound great). But it also has several other voices which are unclassifiable. Think of them as synth voices which are designed for sculpting percussive sounds. They generally offer some combination of oscillators, frequency modulation, white noise, resonant filters, envelopes, and mixers. All of the voices have a ton of parameters (plus per-voice volume and pan), so it offers a broader range of sonic possibilities than the average analog drum machine.
All of this makes the DRM-1 a great choice for drums if you're into more experimental styles – dub, experimental techno, ambient, leftfield electronic stuff, etc. But the kick/snare/etc. make it quite capable for banging techno, too."
