"Functional demo of this fantastic synth. One minute surrounded by air, the next throttling wooly and present. Tangible, immediate, and expressive, the 700 series is hands down one of my favorite synthesizers -- I've owned four. This particular machine came with quite a few chips toward the backside of its wooden ends (plus a sticker), but the faceplate actually looks nice. And as you can hear, it sounds awesome."

"A fantastic synth, circa 1974. One minute surrounded by air, the next throttling wooly and present. Tangible, immediate, and expressive, the 700 series is hands down one my favorite synthesizers -- I've owned four.

You may notice that this is one of the rather rare models that has the additional fine-tune pitch control on the second oscillator. Super-useful.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: This particular machine came with quite a few chips toward the backside of its wooden ends (plus a sticker), but the faceplate actually looks nice.

FUNCTIONAL CONDITION Everything works well and, as you can hear in the video, it sounds awesome.

The one exception: the EFFECT switch, which turns on and off the second oscillator. This switch is finicky. This switch was finicky on the LAST one of these i had, too. I had it fixed three times on that machine before I just swore to never touch it again. After all, it’s an entirely unnecessary switch, as the fader directly above it is the volume for the second oscillator, which is just as easy to use.

When I got THIS machine, I tried it once, it seemed to work ooooookay, but not excellent, so again, I just never used it. Which is what I’d recommend to the next owner as well. It’s just not necessary, and is one of the very few parts of these machines that isn't built like a tank.

Other than that, the only thing I’d mention... a lot of folks aren't familiar with how tweakable the 700 series is via their internal pots. If desired, there is even more sonic flexibility and customization under the hood."

WMD Arpitecht and METRON - Work flow examples, tips and tricks!


Published on Jun 28, 2019 WMDevices

"The WMD Arpitecht was designed a few years ago and was originally conceived as a quantizer. We realized quickly that there was much more to be done with this concept and that it could be a powerful bass line and melody generator when used with the right equipment.

In this video, Alex goes into use case for Arpitecht and how it partners well with the METRON eurorack trigger and gate sequencer. Starting with simple quantizing of an external sequence and then diving deep into arpeggio generation, how to use it to it's full potential to create cool, moving bass lines and melodies."

Massive X Sound Demo


Published on Jun 28, 2019 once upon a synth

"This is a no-talking demo of Native Instruments new Massive X synth plugin. I just browse through some presets and play some melodies. No external effects were used, just a single dry instance of massive X.

Note: The reason I don't often have the GUI shown in the video is that it's VERY cpu hungry on my laptop to the point where the CPU maxes out and the fans go crazy and the sound starts dropping out. So in order to make this video I unfortunately couldn't show you guys the plugin in real-time. I'm hoping that this can be optimized in a future update."

AJH Synth-Transistor Ladder Filter on the bass


Published on Jun 28, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Today I have another portion of modules from AJH Synth.
Minimod is a reflection of the early Minimoog in eurorack modules. If the mono synthesizer is a Minimoog model D is the strongest and the best-sounding synth for synthetic bass.
That's why I used here some of the well-known Transistor Ladder Filter plus two Minimod-Vintage Transistor Core VCOs for getting Bass
Small fun in opening the filter plus using the Contour Generator - an accurate copy of ADSR with Minimoog Model D."
