Roland PMA-5: Portable touchscree 8 track MIDI seq and GM module

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Composing on the the excellent Roland PMA-5 - demo of quick rhythm build.

Published on Apr 18, 2013 Gearfacts

"Demo of how quick it is to set up a completely original rhythm on your PMA-5. This is a very old unit now, it was released around 1995. I still think it has some of the best software for constructing MIDI files, though. Loops can be set up easily and quickly for a range of purposes, too. Although some of the onboard sounds are a bit dated, this unit is definitely not obsolete. I love it."

"The Missing Link OSC/MIDI Translator is a standalone hardware device which contains its own WiFi radio, and translates specially-coded OSC messages sent from your mobile device or computer into standard MIDI messages to control synthesizers, drum machines, mixers, digital audio workstations, or anything which responds to MIDI commands. It does this with low latency, high flexibility and configurability, and without the need for a computer anywhere in the control chain. Multiple wireless OSC devices may connect simultaneously to The Missing Link, making collaboration easy."

Studio Electronics Boomstar SEM SN 100725

via this auction

"Note this is from the last Studio Electronics production batch and has factory-fitted metal-shafts and Davies knobs!"

"This revolutionary all-analog synthesizer module combines two very cool multimode oscillators, sweet modulation options, and a killer amp/mixer section with a real Oberheim SEM-style multimode filter, allowing you to create a universe of creative and compelling tones. A full set of highly tweakable knobs make accessing the wide range of sound the Boomstar SEM has to offer easy. What's more, extremely intelligent CV and MIDI implementation make it easy to add a Studio Electronics Boomstar SEM module to your keyboard or studio rig."

"Boldly following in the footsteps of pioneers such as Moog and ARP, the Oberheim's SEM was one of the first synthesizer modules to feature a multimode filter that allowed artists to choose from highpass, lowpass, notch, and bandpass filters. What's more, this multimode filter could produce wildly varying tonal characteristics, making it easy to get a wide range of sound from an otherwise simple synth. The Studio Electronics Boomstar SEM module gives you the same versatile filter to play with on top of an already sophisticated synth, allowing you to experience this amazing sound in a whole new way."

Sequential In The Spotlight Interview with MORTEN KØIE


You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"Mr. Koifish is a psych-synth-rock outfit out of Copenhagen fronted by Morten Køie, previously of Turboweekend (named “Best Danish Live Act” at the 2011 Danish Music Awards). Køie (pronounced similarly to “koi” in English) creates an engaging psychedelic experience with each Mr. Koifish record and live show, emphasizing collective collaboration and an optimistic ethos of “belonging.”

We chatted with Morten on how he’s using Sequential instruments in his music."

Analog Synthesizer Demo: The Prophet 6


Published on Mar 10, 2019 Will Padgett

"I’ve been slacking on the YT channel this week, but I am proud to share with you the results of my 2019 Spring Grind—a brand new, immaculate analog synthesizer, the Prophet 6, by Sequential! Designed by Dave Smith himself. I came across an extremely ridiculous discount at my local music retailer, and I had to wait 4 weeks to know if I’d actually get it. And I did!!! Thanks Josh at Guitar Center!!!!!!

This thing sounds incredible! So I edited down about an hour of jamming and tweaking into a short little vid to give you an idea of the sounds this thing can make. These are all unprocessed sounds, meaning there’s no compression, EQ, reverb, or FX—it’s just the sound of the VCO oscillators. And boy, is it smooth! :)

Although the major benefit of a true analog synth like this is that all of the parameters are fully editable from the panel, without any menus/GUI, surfing through presets is a good way to dip your toes into a new instrument. The presets I used here are from the "Old Men of MIDI" Sound Set for the Prophet 6, which is free to download. Here's a link to the full patch list: https://www.sequential.com/wp-content..."
