"Serial #0250. Excellent example of this classic two voice synth. No sequencer on this one. Clean mods were added to this in it's past for the additional controls on the back:
CV 1 IN
Gate 1 IN
Filter 1 IN
Filter 2 IN
There are also two switches added to the front panel to enable/disable SEM 1 and SEM 2 completely.
This synth sounds amazing and has just been expertly cleaned, calibrated, and serviced [including jwires and buss bar]"

"no one should pay this price for an OP-1 [one bid up to $8600 pictured]. so hang in there.
last week a rumour circulated that the OP-1 was dead. no one was more surprised than us.
however, we've been working hard on updating the hardware platform in order to keep the product alive for many years to come. this is causing a brief stop in the production, but we will be up and running at full speed shortly."
Curious what the hardware update will be. One thing that always concerned me was how long the internal battery might last over time. Anyone know?

"Hi Guys.
I have another part of how to record fast trigger drums from Four Bricks Rook-Quad Trigger Sequence Generator module from Shakmat Modular.
When you use the Four Bricks Rook you basically have your drums under your hand under the pad and only your creativity limits you what to knock on the pads.
For me, this is a great module, it allows you to create a pattern in a dozen or so seconds without complicated programming, it has a lot of possibilities to create many paterns and write them, load, choose paternal length from 1 to 32 steps, here I used fast short 4. plus amazing mode FILL which I showed later for the arrangement and recording the fill in real time and many more function. definitely a strong thing at hand."
"Here's the analogue / analog multimode filter the MMF from 2hp. It's a 12dB per octave slope (or 2 pole) circuit with low pass, high pass and band pass outputs. CV over filter cut off and resonance, input, output BOSH job done. :)
"We're proud to announce our third point update this year, Bitwig Studio 2.5.
For this update, we chose a few select features that were either requested or inspired by our community."
On the synth front:
"NEW SOUND CONTENT: ANALOG WAVES
The building blocks of synthesis - classic sources ready to go.
Coinciding with Bitwig Studio 2.5 is "Analog Waves." Designed in collaboration with Boxed Ear, this package comprises 60 Sampler presets, each made with hundreds of full-frequency oscillator waveforms. From rumbling lows to guttural mids and sparkling highs, a full-bandwidth sound is the best way to bring analog sources into a digital environment.
If you prefer polished presets, then the ready-to-go sounds will have you covered. But this pack is also ideal for your own sound design. By wrapping all 760-some samples into a single multisample, one click will load all the pure and layered oscillators so your sound sculpting can begin. (Don’t worry; our recently revamped Sampler is made for any number of samples and layers.)
Analog oscillators are a thing to behold — and Bitwig Studio natively works with them. But when hardware is out of reach, this rich set of samples proves to be an excellent sidekick.
Download "Analog Waves" from the Bitwig Studio Package Manager and start crafting your unique sounds today. Check out the demos below."
