Polynorth - a hybrid polyphonic synthesizer, part 2
Published on Jan 2, 2020 Jon Petter Skagmo
"Demo tracks start at 3:31. (I couldn't embed this in the video.)
A presentation of the new Polynorth prototype. Although I've actually spent a lot more time developing and optimizing the firmware than the hardware, this video will focus on the hardware."

"COOL and RARE M.P.C. Electronics Drum Synthesizer Module System.
THICK British drum synth sounds from the mid 1980s
100 % working order - VERY cool sounding analog drum synths.
Fat Snares, "808s", Linn style tom sounds, with a little TAMA Tech-Star vibe. Pitch adjustments are smooth since it's analog and all settings are very tweakable.
Roland PD-21/31 pads are heavily used, but work well. They are included, but not really in the price $$.
No mounting hardware is included other than the integrated clamp mechanism.
This auction includes a two channel unit (DSM2), AND a single unit with power supply (DSM1), connecting Power cable and 2 Roland Trigger Pads (one single PD21 and one PD31 with 4 zones)
Controls: Input Sensitivity, Decay, Bend, Pitch, Mix, Noise, and Click (the transient/attack)
Here is a pretty great demo video of some of the sounds possible with the DSM units: (NOT MY VIDEO)

ARP 2601 V3 3620 2600 Restored Vintage Semi-Modular Synthesizer Black/Orange w/ upgrades
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Recently restored and upgraded ARP 2600 model 2601 with ARP 3620 duophonic keyboard, patch cables and power cable. A rare patchable semi-modular analogue synthesizer in outstanding condition.
2601 v3.0: Late in 1980, a final revision was released with un-potted submodules, making them easier to maintain, and a revised suitcase. However these late models are quite rare as their release coincided with ARP's final days.
It was restored and upgraded by a reputable synth restoration specialist. The electronics were recapped with high quality replacements. It was upgraded to expand the cutoff frequency range as all later ARP filters have a cutoff frequency limited to only 11 kHz. The original shorter spring reverb tank was also upgraded to a larger vintage tank and sounds great. The cases were expertly re-tolexed, it looks brand new. All original cables and plugs present. Keyboard is mint.
Dimensions, ARP 2600 with lid attached: 810 x 222 x 475 mm. Dimensions, ARP 3620 with lid attached: 905 x 245 x 149 mm. 49 keys C-C."

EMU Xboard hack:
Hacking an EMU Xboard MIDI controller for DIY
Published on Nov 12, 2019 R.O.T. Studios
"The EMU Xboard MIDI controller is GREAT to build DIY synths with, since it uses an Atmega48 as the front panel controller. The pinouts are also easy peasy and offer enough flexibility. On top of that you get a semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch! Lotsa bang for your DIY buck :)

"The SKQ-01 is a more extreme take on FM synthesis, offering 9 different waveforms as well as PWM (Pulse-Width-Modulation) and allows you to create anything from trippy FM pads to the most noisy and loud bass lines.
Besides the FM synthesis mode the synth can also be switched to a normal synthesis mode so that the two oscillators can be layered, for a nice full sound which lends itself for things such as massive pads.
There are two oscillators/operators giving 16 note polyphony. Each of these has it's own waveform, detuning and ADSR envelope.
The second oscillator/operator has PWM which can be used both in FM as normal synthesis modes.
The synth also features an analog emulation of a low-pass VCF with plenty of resonance available, which can be controlled with a separate AR envelope as well as an LFO.
For further shaping of the sound there is a distortion, stereo chorus and reverb effect build in. For extra dynamics in your playing Portamento and Pitch Bend can be used.
Patches can be saved and loaded from within the plugin."
ASM Hydrasynth Digital Wave Morphing Synthesizer sound demo
Published on Dec 24, 2019 Gear4music
"The three-headed beast. The ASM Hydrasynth takes after its namesake, employing three oscillators and a powerful sound engine - the perfect choice for sound designers.
The Hydrasynth is jam-packed with features including a 49-note polyphonic keybed with velocity and aftertouch for exceptional expressiveness. The ergonomic design makes designing sounds a breeze, with new and exciting ways to sculpt your tones. The onboard "Mutators" provide new and tested ways to modulate sound. The synth also features 5 low-frequency oscillators and 5 DAHDSR envelopes for unparalleled power and flexibility.
Two filters are included, as well as premium-grade effects (post and pre) to give you full reign over your sound. It also features 256 factory patches created by some of the best patch designers in the world.
The Hydrasynth is suitable for both the studio and the stage with its compact and portable design."
