Gecho v2 - How to build your DIY kit (complete unit)

Published on Aug 20, 2019 Gecho Loopsynth

"To give you an idea what's involved in putting together your DIY kit, and at the same time, how does the "Sea" channel sound like when played with a MIDI keyboard.

We will make a similar time-lapse video with the "acrylic sandwich" version, also a guide with photos and more detailed explanations will be published on the website in next few days."

Uli Behringer Requests Collaboration with MOS-LAB ?

In via an anonymous reader.

Update: This left me wondering how many people in the synth building world is either working with or at Behringer now. I know Luigi Scarano of Fingersonic ended up with Behringer. It would be interesting to have a list of who's who at Behringer.

MOK Wavewazor Eurorack Module

Published on Aug 20, 2019 CatSynth TV

"We explore the new Waverazor Eurorack Module from MOK. The module features the same patented waveslicing oscillators found in the Waverazor software plugin, complete with a multitude of controls for manipulating the waveslices via the touch screen, knobs, or CV inputs.

We discuss the concepts of waveslicing synthesis, explore the interface, check out some presets, create our own sliced waveform, and go wild with the CV inputs, culminating in a performance with CV sequencers and external drum machines.

00:40 About Waveslicing Synthesis and The Razor
01:34 Exploring the module's controls and various presets
05:50 Editing your own waveforms
08:08 Clock-based wave slicing
12:15 Going wild with CV
12:45 Putting it all together with CV, sequencers, and external drum machines!

External CV via the Arturia MiniBrute 2, and Make Noise Rene and Tempi.
Drum accompaniment for the final section provided by a Korg Volca Beats and Mutant HiHats from Hexinverter.net.

External audio: "Proportional Fish" by Amanda Chaudhary, available at https://amandachaudhary.bandcamp.com/...

Input Modded Akai VX90 Analogue Synth with Midi SN 10955-13621

via this auction

"Akai VX90 Analogue Synth with Midi. This is the Sound Module version of the Akai AX73. A 6 Voice VCO/VCF synth that is also similar in sound to the AX60 but with Velocity Sensitivity.

This synth is fully working and sounds great. The overall condition is fairly good except for some minor scratches you would associate with its age. The display is a little dim like many older akai's but easily readable. There is some tape residue on the top of the synth as in the photo but with a bit of time and scrubbing could be removed if important to you.

An unusual feature of this synth is an input that allows you to connect to certain earlier Akai samplers such as the S900 and the S950 and use them as a 2nd oscilator, via an Akai DIN connector, for more unusual sound synthesis. However this module has been Modded to include an input jack that allows you to use any sampler ( which with the current prices of the S900/S950s is a good thing) or audio midi sound source as well. I have opened it up and the mod has been been done to a good standard and does not affect the other operations of the unit."

John Bowen Solaris SN 0364

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction, also on Reverb

Update via Z in the comments: "That first photo of the Solaris with the SCI gear is MY PHOTO of MY GEAR."

Note the Solaris has four oscillators, not 3 as stated in this listing, and they are digital, not discrete. I'm guessing by discrete, they mean fully featured, routable, independent oscillators. The Solaris is about as close as it gets to a fully modular poly synth. It's more flexible than most. You can freely assign and route the different components of the synth vs. being stuck on a set path. Check out http://www.johnbowen.com for details.

"Groundbreaking audiophile digital poly, 3 [4] discrete full-range DCOs per voice.

- 7th-generation, this unit is less than one week old.
I received this unit today from Germany.(8.19.19)
- The unit is still sealed in the factory box and has NOT
been opened (see photos #4 & 5)
- John Bowen has assured me the warranty on this unit is transferable and will be 100% honored. I will provide his contact info if you need to confirm.
- This unit's serial # 0364
- This black-faced unit has the optional backlit pitch/modwheels and newly offered OLED screens.(those options cost extra $$)

The entire 2019 run is sold out. I rarely ever see these for sale. I waited 13-months for this one. Don't miss out on a rare opportunity."
