"Here's a beautiful Roland SH-1000. There are some obvious signs of age because this is Roland's first synthesizer and is almost 50 years old. Completely functional. All sliders, pots and switches have been cleaned. No scratchy noises!"
"I am not a keyboard player but I have tested it to the best of my abilities. All functions seem to work except for the 'portamento' function and the 'tremelo speed' function. No noticeable change in sound came from adjusting either of those fader(s)/button(s).
All other functions seem to be performing as intended with noticeable changes in sound while adjusting the respective knob(s), fader(s), button(s), etc. Some of the faders and knobs have some static while being adjusted but the sound does not cut in and out. Easily remedied with contact cleaner..."
"I posted a little tribute video on the Evolver a few weeks ago. Here is a bit more of a structured look at it with a bit more insight into what it can do."
"Demo of the Moon Modular System-X, a unique 5U analog modular synth + interview with Gert Jalass, Moon Modular's Head of Commercial Operations.
On a trip to Los Angeles I stopped by the Noisebug synth store in Pomona, CA for a tour. During my visit, Gert Jalass from Moon Modular (www.moonmodular.com) happened to drop by the shop. Moon Modular is a boutique analog modular synth company started by the (late) Udo Hanten, Albin Meskes and Gert Jalass.
Gert was kind enough to do a brief interview and demo of the System-X analog modular synthesizer. The System-X is a one-of-a kind, all-in-one 5U modular analog synth created to commemorate Moon Modular's 10th anniversary.
This brief interview with Gert covers a bit about Moon Modular, some of their 5U modular synth modules, and features a deep-dive synth demo of the System-X and its sounds using oscillators, filters, sequencer, quantizer, noise, LFOs and more.
"This yamaha PSS-680 is endless hours of fun, I swear.
I think I might do a bunch of these jams. This jam ain't perfect (those pads are worn to hell) but I'm having too much fun haha!"
"This patch of the week, we create a simple percussive pattern out of a melodic pattern with modulation. Check back each week for simple patches that you can follow along on your volca modular at home!"
"Rack version of DW-8000, one of the absolute iconic digital synths from the 1980's, extremely full sound not approached by anything today. Great sounding analog filter, and rare controller that makes programming a breeze, with knob and slider access to all important parameters."
"The Spider is a 256-note step, or 84-note real time digital sequencer to control the Wasp and/or Gnat. It features a few simple controls for entering notes in step or real time and transposing the sequence a semi-tone, whole-tone, major-3rd, or perfect-5th as well as speed controls. Although it has EDP's own pre-MIDI interface for connecting it to other EDP gear, it also had CV/Gate outputs for connecting it to other analog synths too."
