This is a ridiculously underrated synth in my opinion. Almost sold mine, but glad I kept it.

Vintage Yamaha CS-60 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer SN 2085

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

via this auction

"The CS-60 is a uniquely expressive 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer, the little brother of the great CS-80. CS-60 sounds are infinitely variable, with tons of slider controls and touch sensitive keyboard (amazing in the 1970's!), plus a pitch bend ribbon. A classic, playable, organic, warm, liquid sound. See the YouTube link for an excellent demonstration of what CS-60's can do (the video isn't my CS-60, but mine can do everything shown.)

I bought my all-original 1978 CS-60 from the brother of a friend of mine in 1987, and it has been part of my home studio ever since. It is fully functional, though the exterior has some scuffs and marks which were there when I bought it and are detailed in the photos. I'm preparing to play more music on the road, and I want to start over with a more current rig so this one needs to go.

Includes lid, music stand and user manual - all original
Does not include legs/stand
Does not include sustain or expression pedals
Polyphony - 8 voices
Oscillators - 1 VCO per voice (square and saw plus PWM; 1 sub-osc with 4 wave types; noise gen) - one oscillator is slightly out of tune until warmed up
Assignable aftertouch
Memory - 12 presets, 2 user patches (second user patch is under cover on upper left side of panel)"

EMAXII SE SYNTHESIS DISK

Published on Feb 8, 2020 100 Things I Do

"A quick demo of the sounds on one of the E-MU Factory library disk's for the EMU Emax II. I picked up this pretty mint example of the EMAX II recently after looking for one at the right price for the last few years. I took out the original 40mb SCSI drive and replaced it with a SCSI2SD. What a difference it makes loading samples and booting the sampler! It makes the sampler feel very snappy to use and responds very fast. Also you can flick between menus in real time!

One of the small downsides for me at least is the key bed is super light touch which means my rather sloppy playing technique ends up triggering quite a few extra notes as a rest my fingers. Not sure if its been like this since new or just starting to show some age. :D

I hope you enjoy :D"

TM Synthesis FLUX - Temporal Modulation Rhythm Sequencer to Launch on Kickstarter

FLUX Kickstarter Trailer from FLUX on Vimeo.

Visit www.TMsynthesis.com for more info!

via https://www.tmsynthesis.com

"Flux is a Temporal Modulation Synthesis Complex Rhythm Sequencer for Eurorack.

Temporal Modulation Synthesis applies a curvature to time, creating rhythms by modulating the linearity of trigger distribution within a step (each step can output a density of between 1-64 triggers). Trigger distribution can be modulated with a choice of 15 TM curves, the curvature of which ranges from -10 to +10 in 0.01 increments (2000 possible curvatures). Positive curvature values produce logarithmic responses, negative values produce exponential responses and a curvature of 0 results in linear spacing. 16 TM steps can be sequenced per channel, each with unique length, density, curve and curvature parameters. FLUX uses 64-bit double-precision floating point math internally to calculate rhythms with an extremely high degree of precision.

True Euclidean rhythms, polyrhythms & complex rhythmic patterns are extremely easy to generate and wide ranging in scope.

Standalone sequencing with Novation Launchpad Pro MkIII (w/ Micromoog, Echosystem)

Published on Feb 8, 2020 Jay Hosking

"A live, semi-improvised performance, using hardware sequencing and one synth plus some software synths. I received the Launchpad Pro MkIII this week and wanted to quickly put it through its paces as a standalone sequencer, so I hooked it up to a few VSTs (mostly free, and listed below), didn't change the key or the tempo, and just went with it. I'm happy to report that the Launchpad Pro absolutely feels like a successor to the Novation Circuit in its fast and intuitive workflow, but with a number of meaningful improvements. (Now Novation just needs to make a proper Novation update!) It's also important to note that the device feels fantastic to the touch and is very responsive. It's just a joy to play with, and I only wish it had more than its four sequencer tracks.

I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention the beautiful synth sitting next to the Launchpad Pro. The Micromoog was manufactured from 1975-1979 and was supposed to be a simple, consumer-friendly entry to Moog's lineup. But despite only having one oscillator (plus sub), it's actually packed with a bunch of features that you won't find on a Model D, like modulation via noise instead of an LFO, a variable wave shape, and pulse width modulation. I normally have a no-buy rule about vintage gear, but I tried this one in a local shop, it was on for a very fair price, and I loved the sound of it.

Launchpad Pro MkIII — Sequencing of four tracks
Moog Micromoog + Empress Effects Echosystem — Drone lead
VST instruments used:
Felt Instruments Wolno (free!) — main piano loop
Spitfire LABS (free!) — random blip, strings, piano
Synapse The Legend — bass

Written and performed within a 48-hour period, and uploaded as is, with only a little compression/limiting on the master.
