"This one is in good cosmetic condition and working 100%. As you can see, this is the earlier, analog Clap Trap (2nd model) and not the later digital model. It is also the first model with the "humanizer" function. The first model didn't have this function. Most of these that I've seen are 220V. This one is 115V."

How to DIY Properly (how I prep for successful builds)


Published on May 7, 2019 LeoMakes

"Have you ever messed up a DIY build? Maybe you made a synth or pedal that didn't quite work right? I've gotten questions about this so in this video, I'll walk you through how I prepare for a build and set myself up for success. (Hint: it's mostly down to organization.)

NOTE: This video is mostly about preparation and organization. For detailed tips on the actual soldering (with lots of gorgeous close-up shots) I made a whole separate video for that: [posted here]

I'm certainly not the world's best DIYer or anything so tell me... How do YOU prep? Please share your tips below!

Thanks to the people of 4MS (www.4mscompany.com) for providing the QPLFO (Quad, Pingable LFO). This module is awesome because it packs a lot of functionality (4 LFOs!) in only 12HPs of space--perfect for smaller/portable rigs! This video ran long so I'll have to show this product in-use in a future video.

Here is a link to that product:

(Matrixbrute/DSI Pro 2/Model D): "The Scrying"


Published on May 6, 2019 Kris Lennox

"'The Scrying', for synth(s), orchestra, & choir. Video shows only one part. Try loud with headphones to make the most of the DSI bass.

Instrumentation below:
Matrixbrute (also acting as controller for Model D. Audio from MB running into Line on D i.e 6 oscs in total)
DSI Pro 2 (on bass duties, obvious at 1:24, and particularly at 2:39. All low end = Pro 2. (...Is the Pro 2 the sleeping giant of Dave's lineup? Possibly...))
Organ (can be heard entering @ c. 2:03) = Viscount Cantorum VI Plus
Roland Integra 7 (choir(s), strings, flutes, french horn)
Bell = city of Tartu, Estonia
Korg M1 also deep in the mix (towards the end).

Numerous overdubs (some Doepfer, some MB), some 10/16 (i.e 5-multiple), plus some polymetricism which can likely be heard at c. 5:18 (3+3+2/16 against 5/16).

Audio also on Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/user-736798162...

PPS if anyone here owns a Doepfer, they'll recognise the tone @ 4:29. I like to call it the "Doepfer Twang".

PPS excuse video footage quality - for some reason the focus was off.

All best
Kris"

"RARE - KAWAI SX-240 8 VOICE POLYPHONIC SYNTHESIZER w/ built in Sequencer, DUAL/SPLIT/LAYRING abilities, TAUNTEK OS and NEW MEMORY BATTERY! Also included is a BRAND NEW Stereoping SX-240 Synth Controller "Knob Box"!

Approximately 950 of these synths were ever made and these are quite rare and desirable. Many people (including myself) prefer the SX-240 over the Juno's from way back when.

This is a very super clean, excellent condition keyboard, I have literally owned it since I bought it brand new in 1984 from Gamble Music Co. in Galesburg IL."

2019/05 - Bangkok to San Francisco


Published on May 7, 2019 Stereoping

PULSCar sighting. Note the background on it looks red / burgundy not black. Fun track.

"I hope you enjoy listening to this funny composition as i did while arrangeing it. Starting as a stupid solo-entertainer-pattern with Cha-Cha-Trumpets. The arrangement takes a twist into Bhangra at 1:05 with a juicy Synth-solo played by Dreadbox's Nyx, accompanied by a programmed VSTi-Tabla. The journey continues with deep Volksmusik-Horns leading into the contrastive & sweet contra theme at 2:04. The Boehm Dynamic 12x24 Ensemble strings have their solo now, the Nyx is helping out a bit. In the end from 3:03 the chord progression gets somehow jazzy for a final Nyx synthesizer solo.

A realtime recording of a FL Studio midi arrangement. Drums: CR-68 (with midi & the missing CR78 voices MetalBeat,Tambourine + Guiro), Bass: Waldorf Pulse, oriental Solosynth: Dreadbox Nyx, Horns & Backing-strings: JV1018, High strings: Böhm Dynamic 12/24

The video itself it not that exciting. The playlist and a headcam-realtime-shot from the gokiburi-studio showing some gear and slight modulation-performance on the Nyx during the soli. At least something to look at.
Hope you like it :-)"
