"EML Electrocomp 400/401 Synthesizer Sequencer. Condition is Used. I bought this around 1980. It was first purchased by Cumberland College, now University of the Cumberlands. The music department wanted a synth, and then decided that this is not what they are after. I then purchased it from a local music store that brokered the deal. The number 503 is etched into the back. Not sure if this is the SN since only 300 were reported to be made. It is missing two plastic tabs on the sliders. Was serviced around 15 years ago and then put away. All sliders and switches work. Both oscillators sound but need some adjustment. Osc 1 is louder than osc 2 and is tuned a bit low. Being pure analog a service tech should be able to rectify this. Sold as is. A great piece to restore and flip.

About the unit. 401 refers to the synth section and 400 is the sequencer. It is designed so that multiple 400 units can be chained together. The sequencer has two sections of 16 x 3 sliders that can run in series or parallel. The synth is a basic 2 osc 1 filter unit. Note that EML does not operate on the standard 1 volt per octave ratio used by most modular gear. It is something like 1.2 volts per octave. This can be adjusted through simple CV scaling enabled by various modules, or you can ignore the standard when using it to drive filter and other parameters that are not note specific."

"A rare bird, and one of the most musical sequencers in all of 5u. Four rows of voltages per addressable stage, with keyboard controller and an amazingly flexible quantizer. Very few have been made so far, perhaps only 50, so this is an unusual chance to own one of these extremely cool little things.

It outputs normal modular 1v/octave and can be used with large format MU/Moog/MOTM or Eurorack as well -- just get some big jack to tiny jack cables and you're ready to go."

soundmachines NS1 Nanosynth + base + wood case + nanobridge

"I bought this NS1 nanosynth new a couple years ago along with the NS1 Nanobridge (used to patch into your eurorack modular system. It has been a wonderful mini synth to own and record, as it really is like a full semi-modular synth (minus a sequencer). The online manual and tutorials were very helpful in discovering the best avenues for generating predictable sound, and if you are stuck I found that Davide at Soundmachines is more than willing to discuss and aid you in any questions you may have. When I purchased this bad boy I also picked up an NS1 experiment kit, which is what I used to make a sequencer. After building sequencers and a number of other arduino synth projects, I never even bothered to use the Nanobridge so it is basically brand new. I did test it on a digital eurorack module and found it to work perfectly fine, however I never tested it on an analog module. I STRONGLY recommend reading everything you can about this synth before patching it up to your eurorack or other synths, as too much power will fry the tiny synth (at least that’s what im told). I am keeping this $60 experiment kit, as it will be useful with my other arduino applications. The wooden case is a cleaned out Hoppes gun cleaning kit. I emptied it out and added some foam padding to secure the nanosynth and components inside. Also, I added a little white notch color to each of the 16 knobs so that my settings were more visible ( the knobs were solid black and the values were nearly impossible to see in low light).
This synth can run off of a 5v USB input, so it can attach directly to a PC or Mac, or be plugged into a wall wart. It has a single stereo output, a huge number of patch points, a ribbon cable controller 3 buttons for FSR applications, multiple VCO waveforms and noise forms, two LFOs, Attenuators, ADSR, VCA, 3 mixers, AND, OR, XOR, etc. Check out the website for more details."

Critter & Guitari - RE-Tape Echo for Organelle

Published on Apr 1, 2019 Critter & Guitari

"Author: baptiste

This is one of thirteen user-made patches we're showcasing! The Organelle is full of possibilities waiting to be explored and shared. Each patch in this series is a unique approach to an instrument or effect - the result of the contributor working with the Organelle to make their vision a reality! The icing of this musical cake is that the patches have been shared so others may explore and create! Thanks to all the creators making the Organelle more than we hoped it could be!

This delay is based on vintage tape delay units, and features tap tempo and warble controls. There are six different modes for delay and an additional time scaler to use in combination with the tap tempo feature. Turn up the Intensity for a classic tape delay swell. In this clip, we sent an acoustic guitar loop to RE-Tape Echo. This patch can add a lot of life to a simple sound.

"For many the Buchla system is not only something you don't get to see all that often, but one that the patching of and topography is a bit of a mystery. Our pal Marc Doty has been with Buchla for a little while now so we (and he) figured it was time to take a look at some patching. So here you go...."

Synthplex 2019 Waldorf Quantum Sounds Only

Published on Apr 1, 2019 sonicstate

"Waldorf's Quantum is an impressive synth, as the flagship model of the current Waldorf range, its got their latest and greatest technology in it, a sort of playground for the designers to try out all sorts of cutting edge synth tech.

The features are still being added to, so that makes for more interesting demos right? Jim, who first looked at it in 2018, says its come along considerably since he first had a play.

Still, its not an inconsiderable investment at around 3995 Euros, but it certainly looks the part and offers a great deal of synthesis."
