This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child, spotted on Instagram.


Three synth related items immediately came to mind. I won't give them away, so I have them in black font directly below. Click and drag your mouse over them below if you are curious.

"1980's Korg Mono/Poly MP-4 synthesizer in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The Mono/Poly is a 44 key "mono-polyphonic" analog synthesizer manufactured by Korg from 1981 to 1984. This model is the sister synthesizer to the Korg Polysix, with four highly stable voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), a 4-pole, self-oscillating low pass filter (LPF), several modulation capabilities and pseudo-polyphony (paraphony) functionality.

The four VCO's can be shared in four-voice Polyphonic mode, or linked in Unison for a versatile monophonic lead. Each VCO has its own level, tune, and waveform type control. Waveforms include triangle, sawtooth, and variable pulse wave. It has a great VCF (filter) section as well as two envelope generators (one for the oscillators and one for the filter), and there are also two individual LFO's which can be used to modulate the Pulse Width, Envelope and Arpeggiator independently.

A very flexible and fun synthesizer, other cool tricks up its sleeve include chord memory and an effects mode in which oscillators have a variety of ways to be synced. The built-in arpeggiator and sequencer can run all 4 VCO's at a time or cycle through each voice per note! There's also portamento, CV/Gate, VCF and VCO mod inputs, a white noise generator, and the pitch/mod wheels can be assigned to control LFO, pitch, or the filter.

This synth was imported direct from Tokyo, and as such runs at 100v. All functions are stable and functioning as intended on USA power, 120v "on paper," but typically ranging between 110-120v.

Cosmetically, this synthesizer is very clean, with only light scuffs on the wood framing the keyboard. All original knobs are intact as are the four rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure. The original soft Korg-branded green carry case is included, along with some text on the exterior referencing the band Earthshaker."

Early 2000s digital video with synthpop (DV Tape Wave?)


Published on Nov 10, 2019 Synth & Sundry

"Lost DV tape footage from 2005-6 set to a synth-wave track (DV Tape Wave?) made later on Ableton Live with Puremagnetik synth samples and a sampled 606 drumkit.

Artist: Marco Tulio Thrash / Synth & Sundry
Track: Vector Forest

The early digital video has a haunting and glitchy quality that fits the emotive wow and flutter of the music."

Update: some info on the module via https://synthtech.com:


"INTRODUCING THE E520 HYPERION, A STEREO EFFECTS PROCESSOR

Kickstarter campaign launches on Nov. 15th and the KS page will activate on Nov. 10th. Estimated shipping: late May 2020.

OVERVIEW

The E520 Hyperion is a mono/stereo in, stereo out effects module. It is 48HP wide and uses less than 300ma of +12V and less than 70ma of -12V.

Powered by a 480MHz ARM Cortex M7 CPU, the E520 has 64MB on on-board SDRAM for recording up to 6min of stereo audio at 48KHz sample rate. The LCD screen and optical encoder navigation uses the same 'shallow' menu scheme of our E352 and E370 modules, with the addition of 4 'soft keys' for selecting options without having to leave the main page.

The E520 uses a premium audio path not usually found in Eurorack. Crystal Semi CODECs, TI OPA-series op amps and WIMA film caps in the output stage are used along with low-noise, dedicated LDO voltage regulators for a clean, full soundstage. Audio conversion uses 48KHz sample rate, 24bit resolution with a line or synth level setting.

Please note this is a 'living document' and subject to modification at any time over the next 8 weeks.
