Triadex Muse Electronic Yule Log Live Stream
Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers
"Long form live performance of the elusive Triadex Muse. The sliders will be modified from time to time during the stream. The output of the Muse is a series of dry square waves so effects were added to spice it up. Enjoy!
The Triadex Muse is a sequencer-based synthesizer, produced in 1972, and designed by Edward Fredkin and Marvin Minsky at MIT. It is an algorithmic, deterministic event generator, utilizing early digital integrated circuits to generate an audio output that can sound very musical. It produces a sequence of notes based on the settings of about a dozen different parameters, including four small sliders that control Volume, Tempo, Pitch, and Fine Pitch. Only a few hundred were ever made."

A little synth spotting with Cat Stevens. Hadn't seen this one before.

"We got this unit from our friend Vince Clarke of Erasure, Yaz, Depeche Mode, etc.
Here's the story behind this particular MS50, as we told it on Instagram when we got this unit in:
JUST IN: Vince Clarke’s (Depeche Mode, Yaz, Erasure, etc) Tone Tweakers serviced Korg MS50. For sale soon (on our website). History: many years ago, Vince swapped us his first MS50 (which needed servicing) for one of our fully serviced MS50s. He hadn't really used it though, so yesterday he asked us if we wanted it. Duh! 😂 Although we encouraged him to move it across the studio so he could use it with his vintage MS20, he wasn’t into it, so we snagged it and bagged it. It's still working quite well after all these years, thanks to us servicing it before we delivered it to his old studio in Maine, but we still intend to service it again prior to sale. Vince and Andy Bell are still releasing albums as Erasure. Also check out Vince’s record label Very Records. Use google to find them, since we can’t post links here.
This MS50 was fully disassembled, cleaned, and electronics were completely overhauled, sparing no expense, so it works like new again and is better than the rest. All pots and jacks were cleaned. Replaced some capacitors. Performed a slight power supply modification. Recalibrated. This process required approximately 6 hours of skilled labor. We didn't need to do it since it worked fine when we got it - we WANTED to do it to hopefully extend the life of this beautiful instrument so it outlasts all others of its kind.
If this unit fails to sell for its current price, we may be open to counter-offers… or we may just keep it along with the other MS50 in our studio."

Pollard Industries Syndrum Twin Drum Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"The synthesizer section was fully serviced and is working perfectly.
The 2 drum pads work fine and will be included in this sale if requested (please remember to request them!). They were built with a layer of foam inside. As with nearly if not all vintage foam of this age that we've seen, this foam is crumbling. The crumbs are coming out the holes in the pads. We would normally want to replace this foam, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to disassemble the pads and we don't want to risk breaking them, so we're selling them the way they are. As noted above, the pads aren't even needed to use this piece - we've got a Syn Drum Twin in our studio and always use it without them - we trigger it via a Roland TR-808 (which we also have one of we plan to list shortly)."

Roland Viintage Jam Session
synthlegends
"Roland TR-808 triggers my Jupiter 6 with two arpeggiated sounds in split mode, the SH-101 and the JUNO-60. I used the delay from Korg DW-8000 for my JP-6 and reverb pedal GFI specular for my SH-101. The JUNO-60 and TR-808 are clean with no FX and processing. I wish you Merry Christmas with this track and thank you so much for supporting my channel. Take care!"
Prophet 5 + Prophet 600 | Matt Chadra
ClavAnother
"Prophet 5 Rev 4 connected to a Prophet 600 (Gligli) Eleven voices of fun, I'm playing six note chords, and I have no idea where the stolen Prophet 5 voice is going - let me know in the comments if you can hear it."
There's a Prophet 5 in the studio again; it was a good day.
ClavAnother
"Although it has been many years since I had to sell my Prophet 10 in order to pay the lawyer for the custody battle, I have pretty consistently missed being able to play it. So today I find myself with the next best thing in the studio. This is just me making sure it functions properly. I will surely be making plenty more recordings."
X-plorations Vol 1 - Patches 97 to 128 - Sequential Prophet X
GEOSynths
"Now available - https://www.geosynths.com/prophetx
Here is the last of 4 Videos, highlighting Patches 97 to 128 of X-plorations Vol 1 for the Sequential Prophet X. I decided to do a Bank for the Prophet X, however I went and Sampled a variety of Oscillators from the Synths that I own, including Moog ONE, Dreadbox Erebus, Moog Sirin, Matriarch and much more.
I've sampled the Oscillators wide open and every Key across a 61 note range and used the Synthesis capabilities of the Prophet X. I have also utilized some of the Factory Content, such as Strings and Choirs for some of the Patches, as well as the on-board Oscillators.
Many Patches are Stacked or Splits, however many use the fantastic Stereo Filter for Evolving pads, Strings, Leads, Bass and so much more."
