"Roland System 100M in very good condition. Classic D-Set with M-112, M-121, M-130, M-140 and M-150. The 191-J rack is originally 100V, but the power supply is replaced with a 220V PSU."
"This updated version of PortaFM now adds the AdLib/Sound Blaster's classic OPL2 (YM3812) emulation core to the existing OPLL core (hot swappable)

"Vintage 'portable' FM synthesizer
This chipsynth is a unique two operator FM synth with a very quirky feature set. The late 80's 'PSS' series was cheesy and made of plastic but had a very unique sound which was lost to time. Some of the most well known examples of synthesizers in this series include the PSS-140, PSS-270 mini keyboards and the SHS-10 keytar. On home computers, the iconic AdLib and Sound Blaster lines of sound cards used the same line of chips to give a musical voice to the PC, becoming the core of the sound of 90's DOS games.
Not willing to just copy the past, we designed a NEW synthesizer that features the same sound generation found in these synthesizers, but this time with much more processing power to control and modulate its features, all in a convenient virtual instrument form.
PortaFM uses a pair of cycle-accurately emulated FM chip cores for its main synth engine, switchable between OPLL (YM2413) and OPL2 (YM3812). Another core is dedicated to the the drum sounds, and all of this can be layered creatively.
The unique 'lofi' quality of the OPLL and OPL2 chips was never recreated this accurately before. Plogue's experience of more than 15 years studying vintage digital sound generators was pushed to its limit. Brand new mathematical models were built using our custom Hardware-assisted systematic testing procedures by our in house reverse engineering team in Montreal.
"I show the process for designing sounds on the Arturia MicroFreak, recording song ideas, then flipping them as samples on the Roland MC-101 to make some futuristic trap and lofi hip hop beats. Get my $5 sample pack: https://gumroad.com/l/gabeoneshots Subscribe for more electronic music!

"Pico EF is Erica Synths take on envelope follower module in 3hp! Pico EF features a preamp with +40dB gain, envelope output with adjustable attack time and a gate output with adjustable threshold. The Pico EF can be used as a preamp, overdrive unit or for controlling VCFs with audio signal, or to use with external instruments to control your modular system in other creative and experimental applications.
Timeline:
00:00 Patch 1 "EF to LPG offset" Using envelope generated from the breakbeat to modulate the LPG offset and extracted gate to trigger the bass sound.
01:14 Patch 2 "Side-chain" Creating side-chain compressor like effect by extracting the envelope from Bassdrum and then inverting it with Pico Scale and then applying it to the VCA through which the hi-hats from the Pico Drums 2 are sent
02:04 Patch 3 "EF to LPG offset" Similar to the Patch 1 but in this case using the extracted gate to trigger the LPG internal decay envelope
02:27 Patch 4 "Bass guitar opening VCA" Bass guitar is plugged directly into the Pico EF and then extracted envelope from the audio signal is used to open the Pico VCA through which a sequenced melody from Pico Voice is sent
03:21 Patch 5a "FM to LPG & triggers 1" Audio signal from FM radio is used to change the LPG offset and extracted gates are used to trigger sliced breakbeat on the Sample Drum
03:52 Patch 5b "FM to LPG & triggers 2" Similar setup as in Patch 5a, but instead of triggering slices extracted gates are used to trigger randomly selected samples
04:32 Patch 6 "EF as Distortion" Using Pico EF as distortion module by adding a lot of gain to the Bassdrum module
05:10 Patch 7 "Bass to Plasma Drive & LPG" Using Pico EF to amplify bass guitar which is after that send into the Plasma Drive which is afterwards set through the Pico LPG which offset is modulated by the envelope generated from the bass guitars audio"
Pico EF is Erica Synths take on envelope follower module in 3hp! Pico EF features a preamp with +40dB gain (enough to boost even guitar and dynamic microphone signals for use in a modular system), envelope output with adjustable attack time and a gate output with adjustable threshold. The Pico EF can be used as a preamp, overdrive unit or for controlling VCFs with audio signal, or to use with external instruments to control your modular system in other creative and experimental applications. Features Preamp with adjustable gain Audio overdrive possibility Envelope follower with adjustable attack time Gate extractor with adjustable threshold Input protection against overvoltage Protection against reverse PSU connection

The Erica Synths Pico VCA2 is a compact voltage controlled amplifier module, based on reliable AS3330 chip. It features two independent channels, and the first one comes with the manual offset adjustment, useful for full span vibrato effects. Audio and CV inputs of the first VCA are normalised to the second one, so the module can also be used as a buffered audio splitter. VCAs are DC coupled, and they can be used for controlling amplitude of control voltage signals.
"CVilization lets you record two different kinds of user-scales: ‘Basic Scales’ and ‘Volt Map Scales’. While the former divides 1 V into 12 steps and maps each to a note within an octave, the latter maps a sequence of notes (voltages) across 1 Volt, in the order they were played. 8 preset scales can be edited, replaced and saved. You can restore the original factory scales at any time. User scales open up a host of creative possibilities: You can use a CV/Gate Keyboard or other chromatic sources to play your scales. Also, you can use LFOs, envelopes, sequencers, random CVs etc. to create sophisticated self-playing patches!
