"Modified an old Korg Poly 61 so that the cut off frequency and resonance can be adjusted real time. The addition of selector switches is a useful addition and enables the selected sound to be set back to the preset values instantaneously. If anyone wants details of the mod let me know. Sorry for poor quality video and audio - phone only I'm afraid!"

"It has had a new battery fitted, main circuit board has been cleaned up (after original battery fault), all keyboard keys have been stripped and cleaned –they all work correctly. All operational buttons and potentiometers have been cleaned and work correctly. All connectors have been cleaned and re-connected.

The modification has been carried out so that the filter cut off frequency and resonance can be modified real time. The switches also allow the real time mods to be selected as and when required. It has been completed to a good standard with the new wiring added to looms.

Other mods similar to this do not have the switches fitted. The problem with this is that when the presets are re-called they are modified straight away by the position of the pots. With this mod you can select whether to have the original sound, or allow the preset to be modified in real time. You can even switch on the fly, providing some interesting 'switching' sounds."

Increscent gravity of the ages - modular in the cave 5 (eurorack modular synthesizer trance idm jam)

Published on Feb 25, 2019 Modular in the cave

"Little modular jam at Bue Marino Site in Favignana. This side of the island faces the west coast of Sicily, where you can see both Marsala and Trapani, "the scythe of the Mediterranean". The most beautiful, emerald sea in all of Favignana can be seen here, thanks to submarine limestone planes that makes the water shine, creating a strong contrast between the black rocks and the white parts. The spot take its name by the monk seal that inhabitated this part of the island(Bue Marino means sea ox, by the cry of the sea animal similar to the ox cry). The monk seal completely left this place cause of the degrading and disturbing caused by human presence. In the last years some monk seals have been spotted to take rest in submarine caves in the egad islands during the winter. A huge limestone quarry rise behind the shores and through the land, where for thousands of years the stones have been extracted, and then loaded on wooden boats(schifazzi) through the massive rock slide that still stands,making it one of the favourite places for diving. I used Erica synths pico voice and Pittsburgh sv1.2 pico dsp, a black hole dsp, blue lantern sir mixalot, expert sleepers disting mk4 compression algorithm on the master"
