Published on Sep 27, 2019 Todd Barton
"A deep dive of this patch at my https://www.patreon.com/synthtodd
This patch is generated from a single Aries 300 S&H source offset and processed through 4 different oscillators/filters: Aries 300, Red Panel 158, Steiner-Parker Synthasystem & Microcon."

Roland Promars (MRS-2), fully serviced, with IO MIDI

"This was recently gone over by a reputable tech here in Philly (Belltone): they recapped the power supply, made it US-voltage compaitble, and fully calibrated it. The previous owner installed the IO midi interface, and this comes with the rather rare original hard case! It spent most of its like in the hands of a collector, and it shows! Everything is working 100% and this is ready to rock your world.
The Promars is hugely underrated and I would argue it's one of Roland's best monosynths--it's the only one they made that has two oscillators AND two sub-oscillators! It captures the patch-saving technology of the late-70s, while retaining that classic Roland tone."

Kawai SX240 8 Voice 2 DCO Synth w/ 1 Sub SSM Filters Split/Layer/Midi & Tauntek OS

"Straight to the point - it has just 1 functional issue (which for a gear perfectionist like myself makes me crazy). Absolutely everything works fantastic - it is in excellent condition and extremely well serviced. In all of the regular voice modes all 8 voices/2 OSC/Sub perform wonderfully - as designed. As do all buttons, knobs, display, outputs. But - when you switch to layered/split mode it drops a voice. 7 sound. All 8 sound in regular mode - 7 in layer/split. To be honest - it is quite usable regardless and in the mix it is not going to be noticeable. But if you are super-particular about perfect equipment and something like this would just bug you (like it does me) - it isn't the synth for you.
Apart from this the SX-240 is a great sounding instrument that bridges the pre-80's and 80's sound nicely. Though it has SSM filters and an ensemble effect it is not a PolySix, and it's definitely not a Juno - it truly sits in it's own pocket. Very musical. Not many 8 voice analog polys out there - to begin with - and fewer that can layer and split. Has the "ensemble" effect, HPF, Ring Mod, Patch storage. Etc Etc. And Tauntek OS increases midi control."

Kilpatrick PHENOL Audio Demo Patch (with notes!) #TTNM
Published on Sep 27, 2019 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES
"Trying out the Kilpatrick Audio Phenol modular synthesizer. READ BELOW!
♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥
This is a melodic FM patch without any external control inputs. So no MIDI sequencing, etc.
Patch document:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ggko4p6s2yx...
Product Website:
https://www.kilpatrickaudio.com/?p=ph...
The Phenol is a self-contained modular synth, using the fun banana patch cables to connect its built-in modules. It features a unique dual envelope section (one of which acts as an arpeggiator in this video), a random generator, lo-fi delay and of course VCOs, Filters, VCAs, and more, forming a very complete synthesizer package."
Rucci Handmade 8-Bit Power Synth, Maximal Drone And 16 Step Sequencer
Published on Sep 27, 2019 Perfect Circuit
"Rucci Electronics has an interesting take on compact pedal format synthesizers. The have both 8-Bit digital synths and rich drone synths with tons of oscillators and a filter. Their 16 step sequencer has multiple sequencer modes that can produce more complex results than most analog style sequencers.
The 8-Bit Power Synth has a built in keyboard as well as CV input. It can play back single notes or arpeggiated sequences the way retro video games did, and also has a drum loop mode. The Maximal Drone has six oscillators for creating incredibly thick drone sounds. The CV input on it sags the voltage to the circuit, changing the pitch as well as the sound of the synth."
