"Serge Wave Multiplier / Res EQ in stand along box CGS / LW - Licensed. I didn't want to add another full boat to my system so I had this built by Loudest Warning aka the bad producer.

The box is roughly 7"x4"x3" with STS style molex connector."

"Included are the original manual, MIDI specification booklet, and two ROM soundbank cards in their original vinyl protective sleeves — the standard RC-100 card that was included from the factory, and the increasingly hard to find RC-110 "US COLLECTION". NOTE: The power supply is for 100-120V 50/60 Hz power only, and I'll include a normal grounded power cord for a buyer located in either USA or Canada.

Also, while this synthesizer module is in very clean condition (among the cleanest specimens I've seen actually) it is not strictly "mint". I've circled some minor scuffs in the finish in yellow in some of the listing images, so please look carefully — some of them I was hardly able to capture with camera and were otherwise something I had to really look for, but I also wanted to be absolutely transparent about the condition of the item you are buying. The display remains reasonably bright and easy to read, and is also free of scratches (as is the rest of the faceplate). There isn't even noticeable rack rash on the ears. The owner's manuals are in good, very readable, unmarked condition but the cover flap on the owner's guide is a bit torn at the bottom and like the MIDI spec guide exhibits some shelf wear.

Honestly I think this is in many ways a more charming synthesizer than the original Yamaha DX-7, for which this synthesizer along with its keyboard cousin (the VZ-1) were Casio's answer on the market to. The quality of the individual oscillators is (imo) noticeably better, there's ring modulation, and the timbres rawer and somehow "dirtier". It's noteworthy that sound output on this module is a bit crisper and quieter than those of the VZ-1 (and yes, even the DX-7). With the right timbres through a quality reverb, this could be a lovely instrument. Sadly, I no longer play."

MFB SYNTH PRO /////// S T E R E O \\\\\\\


Published on Feb 11, 2020 LESINDES

"Checken the stereo capabilities of MFB SYNTH PRO. MFB 12 dB multimode filter panned to the left and SSM 24 dB LP panned to the right.

4 panning modes are available: Mono / Narrow / Wide / L-R -- I was using mostly the latter!

The first patch filters in serial mode , 2nd in parallel.

The audio is recorded straight out of the machine.

Sometime I add in also a bit internal reverb (s. knob 4 from top of the extreme right row)."

New Wicks Patchy, handmade synth from Rarebeasts


Published on Feb 10, 2020 Rarebeasts

"The Wicks Patchy is a tiny patch synth that lets you experiment with sound by connecting modules in different ways using small cables.

You can be super creative with this instrument as you get to choose how the modules are connected.

This synth has 3 modules, VCO, Gate and LFO that can be connected in hundreds of ways.
The 5 controls at the base of the unit can be connected to any of the module inputs. To get started all you have to do is connect the power via a USB plug and attach your speaker or headphones. Now just attach one of the 5 controls to the VCO input and you are making sound, change the sound by connecting the modules in different ways. Instruction are included giving details of all the connections."

Published on Feb 11, 2020 gattobus

"Here's a quick walkthorough on FANTOM Vocoder menu settings and a little trick on how to use VOCODER with the DRUM PART as modulator!
Imho, this is by far one of the best sounding vocoders I've ever heard in a synthesizer! :D"

Roland Fantom (Ver. 1.50) Focus on VOCODER (2 of 2) - "Doin' it right" - DAFT PUNK cover

Published on Feb 21, 2020 gattobus

"Here's the second video focus on Fantom's VOCODER (OS ver. 1.50 onwards)
A quick tutorial on how to replicate the vocoder voice of Daft Punk.
If you just want to hear the cover, you can skip at min 2:04
I recommend listening using a good pair of headphones.
(This song contains some very low frequencies it may not sound well in small speakers ;) )

Song's been sequenced using Fantom's internal sequencer.
Some vocals have been dubbed, others were sampled inside the Fantom and played in real time through the sequencer."

RolandJX-8P vs MKS-70 duel | Which one sounds best?


Published on Feb 10, 2020 Espen Kraft

"The MKS-70 is in fact two JX-8Ps stuck in a rack. It can be set up as a 12-voice 8P, split, dual, whole and unison mode.

But is the sound any DIFFERENT from a 8P, and which one sounds the "best"?

What do you think?
