We explore the main panel functionality, both voice and sample modes, and some of the advanced features. We also give a brief overview of vocoder concepts and history.

"meticulously refurbished - fully disassembled, cleaned inside and out, fully serviced and future-proofed so it will hopefully last another 40 or so years. This unit came to us in great shape, so this work took less time than usual for this sort of special treatment - only 23 hours of valuable, skilled labor. Work done includes: keyboard fully rebuilt with new bushings, bus bar and contacts cleaned, keys removed and cleaned. replaced some caps and regulators. jacks cleaned, replaced washers and nuts, cleaned up panel, opened, cleaned and lubed pots, cleaned and lubed switches, power supply rebuilt, unit recalibrated. sn122x. Note: the left set of multiple jacks was previously wired to output the keyboard voltage and is labelled to reflect this. This unit was also tested over a long period of time to ensure reliability. As a result, it's better than others on the market, is working perfectly and is ready to play, no surprises and no excuses. You won't find a better EML-101 anywhere."

"We meticulously refurbished this unit so it would play absolutely perfectly again (like new). This process took 14 hours of valuable skilled labor and the end result is an instrument that is better than any other you may find, and is pricing accordingly.

In addition to fixing any problems, we rebuilt the power supply, replacing capacitors, bridge diode, resoldering connections, adjusted voltage. Removed keyboard, removed and cleaned bus bars. Cleaned key contacts. Cleaned up front panel, knobs, resoldered bender board, cleaned and lubed all pots and switches, replaced caps on ADSR, VCF, VCO, ring mod and LFO boards. Resoldered connections. Replaced power cable. Cleaned tolex. Fixed a problem that was present when it was new - back panel VCO control didn't work because it wasn't wired up (someone must have been sleeping at the Roland factory), replaced terminal for molex connector #12. Replaced power line terminals. Recalibrated. Tested systematically and completely multiple times and working perfectly.

"Completely overhauled in an effort to future-proof - cleaned inside and out and meticulously serviced over many hours and tested over and over again and working like new again. This 106 is better than the rest and should be more reliable than others you'll find on the market and is therefore priced accordingly."

"Just do I.T."

A new release via supporting member, VONDERFUeL, who had the following to say, starting with a quote from Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell (synth info starts in the fourth paragraph):

"'You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. I suddenly experienced the universe as intelligent, loving, harmonious, what has been described as an ecstasy of unity.'
Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who saw Earth from the moon in 1971

If our Universe is a simulation being run on a giant quantum computer, by someone from an intelligent civilisation in a different dimension, it wouldn't just be a computer game to them. It would be more like a religion. They would worship the life and diversity that exists on Planet Earth, and they would have great faith in humanity to create peace and unity on Earth. So should we. Across all borders. They would celebrate Planet Earth every Sunday, by praying for us and by playing modular synths and traditional drums, singing and dancing around the fire, sharing the love and compassion they feel for each other and for the life that they have created within the simulation on Planet Earth.

So, as the theory goes, this raises the possibility that we are actually living inside what could be described as a genuine love machine!"

Update: player set to start with track 9. Rainbow per VONDERFUeL:


"I spent six months in 2019 working on my album 'Sapiens', and after completing this, things started flowing well. I composed the album 'Religion' in four weeks around xmas2019/new years, so the spirit of the holidays defiantly made its way into the music. Drums and mixing has been completed recently. The synths used for 'Religion' includes a Matrix 1000, Marion ProSynth, Korg Triton Classic and a Korg Monologue. Drums from Halion Sonic SE/Groove Agent SE in Cubase.

The Oberheim Matrix 1000 and the Marion ProSynth are cousins, both designed by Tom Oberheim, and they are both excellent synths. For me, the Matrix 1000 is, generally, best for pads while the Marion ProSynth is better at short sequenced sounds. The Marion ProSynth is pretty much the same as the Marion MSR2, which I owned before, just without expandability. The name Marion comes from Tom Oberheims daughter. The Matrix has 800 presets + 200 user patches where you can save your own sounds, while the Marion should be programmed (also 200 user patches) to get the best out of it, although it comes with a few good presets swell. The Access Matrix Programmer is great for tweaking presets on the Matrix, which can then be saved into the one of the 200 user patches. I feel a lot of respect for Tom Oberheim, and 'The Spiritual Machines' that he has created for us

'Religion' by Vonderfuel is now available to stream and download.

"Finally I get to demo the Korg Prologue 8! It's so beautiful!
Perfect Analog / Digital / Hybrid synthesizer power!
I am working on a new ambient electronic album due out in
spring 2021 called "Into The Earth", it requires a ton of digital
and dark metallic textures. Music & sounds from within Earth.
Currently I'm using a Nord Lead 1, Yamaha TX7 (DX7 module),
Korg O1W/FD, Roland Juno-DS & now the Korg Prologue 8.
They are PERFECT for my new recordings!

Vermona'14 & ARP2600FS with Arturia FX Collection

coyotesynth

"The Vermona'14 is a great keyboard controller for the ARP2600FS.
In this video, the Sequencer is used to control both synths, with a random gate. ModWheel control frequency cutoff on both synths.

Vermona'14 is on the left channel, ARP2600FS is on the right channel, providing a stereo sequence.

After 3'17" minutes of tweaking on both synths (cutoff/resonance), some Arturia FX from the FX collection are used."
