Oberheim OB-12 – the weird side [demo/review]

Published on Oct 7, 2019 nyppy

"Not a lot of videos about this peculiar synth around, so I recorded this one and focused a bit on the weird side of it, which is where it shines. If you can't be bothered to watch all of it, skip to the last two minutes. And if you have any questions, just leave a comment, I'm happy to help."

"Korg's first synth! This one is branded by Univox & sounds amazing. Rare vintage Korg sticker on the wood & everything is original as far as I can tell.

Everything functions as it should including the Hi-Z output which I recently fixed. The highest key is at slight angle (see photos) but works perfectly. Also, there is some wear/stain on one side that is shown in the photos. Lastly, there is a screw missing on the top panel which doesn't affect playability or functionality in any way."

Mirror of Venus - Modular in the cave 35 - eurorack modular ambient jam on in a volcanic lake

Published on Oct 7, 2019 Modular in the cave

"A little jam at Lake specchio di Venere (mirror of Venus) in Pantelleria. The lake is formed in a ancient collapsed volcanic crater, and takes its peculiar green color from termophilic algae living in the water. The water gushes at 50/60 c°, making it possible for the algae to live there and color the water.

until now this is the only jam i shoot twice, i had to come back the day after to get this exact mirror effect on the water, which only appears at dawn when sunlight doesn´t hit the water directly. I lost too much time setting up the cameras and composing the jam, and in the meantime the effect had vanished. Got it right the second time, by then it was just a routine"
