"Amstrad Fidelity CKX100 Computerphonic keyboard (1988)
Well, who knew Lord Sugar made a keyboard...? All the sounds you hear in the track were made using the CKX100 and recorded to a DAW, where I added compression, EQ, reverb, delay and some light chorus as required. I sampled individual drum hits from slowed-down CKX100 rhythms, to allow me to build fresh beats, rather than using the rhythms found on the CKX100 itself."

The design reminds me of an E-mu Emax.
"This really is a rare keyboard and is fully working in mint condition, still in the original box with original internal packaging, complete with 6 C Batteries! The 6 type C batteries will be included in the shipment only if the buyer resides in the European Union. In non-European countries it is NOT possible to send batteries for customs reasons.
The Amstrad CKX100 is a great vintage machine with loads of character and a unique sound! An unusual special feature of this instrument is the "playright mode", which switches the right keyboard section to pentatonic tone scales, those vary with the actual chord (selected with the left hand) to force the player to play what establishment considers harmonious (a bit like an Omnichord). There is also a MIDI-out jack and a simple sequencer with data storage on audio cassettes.

Roland Promars - FIVE MINUTES WITH
video by sonicstate
"Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) have a nice collection of instruments, we had a glimpse when we shot an interview with them for the launch of their album "Yesterday, Tomorrow and You"
Chris from the band kindly recorded this session to give us all a flavour of what it can sound like - which as it happens is pretty tasty.
The Roland Promars is one of the Compuphonic range of instruments that has some basic computer control - eg patch memory (10 user, 10 preset). Its very simillar to the Jupiter 4 and has often been considered a monophonic version of that. However it has 2 VCOs compared to the JP's 1
Chris takes us through some of its unique sonic capabilities."

Introducing Jumble Henge - 16 Input Stereo Spectral Mixer - ALM029
video by ALM TV
"Introducing the Jumble Henge, a 16 input stereo spectral mixer with a unique patch-based mixing interface in a compact space.
Jumble Henge is a space efficient solution for creating rich stereo mixes from a number of both mono and stereo sources, working great in a compact live system or more creatively explored in the studio. Mix down entire patches, sum stereo effect returns or create a complex feedback network all with an intuitive, musically focused approach.
Jumble Henge was designed in collaboration with Worng Electronics and is based on their existing larger and more featured ‘SoundStage’ module.
In this video we take a look at the features and explore unique patching with the Henge.

Sonicware Liven XFM Prototype - Brass and Acid Jam
video by ChrisLody
"The Liven XFM Prototype in this video was supplied by Sonicware (obviously 😁)
Err.....surprise! I have a Sonicware XFM prototype in the studio. Why do I have an XFM prototype? Well, I feel very fortunate to have been hired by Sonicware to produce sounds and patterns for the XFM as well as beta testing this prototype. I've had it since January the 11th which is why my channel has been a little quiet recently, but I'm now allowed to share this first quick jam 😊
I've mainly spent that time doing sound design for the 'library' FM sounds on the unit. I'll have to be careful to not talk about too much what hasn't been announced but it has a fully editable 4 Op FM synth engine so I've been creating sounds for that, some of which is in this video. Everything you hear in this video is being produced by the XFM in real-time (apart from a limiter in Reaper to get the volume up for YouTube) with FM synthesis as the main sound source with the option to use filters, envelopes and lfos on through the pattern edit mode making it a very powerful hybrid of FM and virtual analog before we even consider what can be done with morphing. Don't pay too much attention to the text on the front panel as a few things have moved around since it was printed, a new version is on it's way to me as of this morning.
The opening brass sound is pure FM using the X-Form mode that can switch and/or fade from one FM sound to another. The acid line uses the filter and envelopes and I also manually tweak the morphing of the waveform between two different sound. You'll also hear drum sounds (my work 😎) which are pure FM apart from a little filtering used as EQ's. All in all this jam isn't very 'FM sounding'. It can do that in spades but the morphing, filters and effects etc means it capable of so much more. So much more!
There is a lot to discuss about the XFM which I'll talk about more as I upload more videos. But in short it's a really good synth with a lot of power, a lot of options and an incredibly unique tone that you'd struggle to create elsewhere. Yes obviously Sonicware are paying me, but I'd just bought this I'd be equally impressed with what it can do, honestly!"

Erica Synths Liquid Sky Dada Noise System II & Quadraphonic Surround Panner
Update: demo added above.
"one of the highlights of the system is the fact that each single module - even the recordable (!) joysticks - can be used as soundgenerator. so the possibilities are endless."
Two new systems by Erica Synths.
Liquid Sky Dada Noise System II
Erica Synths in cooperation with the Liquid Sky artist collective presents the new Dada Noise System II - a modular synth-lab which is dedicated to create all kind of abstract organic analog noise / ambient soundscapes / industrial noise / bad ass bass / spheric atmospheres / experimental unheard drones / sonic glitches and of course all kind of thrilling horror- and scifi-sounds for the professionals. Every single module of the system is already a sound source of its own, therefore the possibilities for sound-, noise- and atmo-experiments are endless.
Features
Fusion VCO2
Fusion VCF3
Fusion Modulator
Black Stereo Delay
Black Joystick2 - one of the main elements of the Dada Noise System II which allow automations in sound and effects, positioning in the quadraphonic room, or can function as experimental sequencer and sound source.
Black VC Clock
Black Modulator
Black Dual VCF
Black Quad VCA
Black Spring Reverb
Black Output
25 patch cables
Comes with vertical side panels and an external PSU
RRP: 3320 (VAT excl.)
The Quadraphonic Surround Panner is expander row of modules for the Dada Noise System II.
Features
2 x Black Joystick2
2 x Black Mixer/Splitter
2 x Black VCA2
2 x Black Stereo Delay
Comes with side panels and an external PSU
Quadraphonic Surround Panner integrated with Dada Noise System II makes it the perfect tool for film postproduction, installation works, game-sound design or quadraphonic performances.
To integrate both systems in one, please, order angled side panels that host both Dada Noise System II and Quadraphonic Surround Panner.
RRP: 1820 (VAT excl.)
