Fresh Coffee with Oberheim OB-6, Strymon Volante & Six4Pix NoodleBox
video by While We Were Sleeping
"I recently got a Sequential Oberheim OB-6. The OB-6 just sounds wonderful and puts me in a euphoric and relaxation state of mind.
On our first weekend together I thought Ill introduce The OB-6 to my other two current favourites the Strymon Volante tape delay and the Six4Pix NoodleBox Serendipity Sequencer.
So I Noodled a few sequences made a fresh cope of coffee using hand-ground Beans and let that sweet Oberheim sound float through the Volante.
So here it is mixed with the sound of the Brighton sea and a pinch of seagulls.
Background Video and sounds are shout next to Brighton pier and just in time for that day starling murmuration.
Hope you enjoy

#ffs February Filter Sweep part 1 by SynthAddict
video by SynthAddict
Synths featured: Korg ARP Odyssey, DSI Polyevolver, Arturia MatrixBrute, Access Virus TI, Roland Juno-6, Kawai SX-240.
"In support of the movement against the recent YT algorithm trend of blocking/demonetizing basic synth filter sweep demos, I have made a simple collage of basic filter sweeps from different gear. Enjoy...more to come since it's early in February..
I was intending to get this done earlier but a busy work week and some computer/video tool glitches made it a rough time. All good now...
Sorry for the wonky audio/video and camerawork in parts, this was a rush job."
Note SynthAddict is the one who let us know about the #FFS YouTube protest. You can find additional details and demos here.
OP-Z // Cedar
video by Payton Carter
"Why even have an OP-Z if you don't make lo-fi hip hop beats to relax/study to? I downloaded some boom bap and vocal kits from op1.fun and this is a happy little tune I made with them.

Pedals on synths: First try with a few Boss pedals (CE2W + DM2W + OD3)
video by SYNTHWAY
"Just trying some pedals with the Nord Lead 4.
00:12 - Base Sound
01:10 - Nord's Internal Delay
01:50 - DM2W Delay
02:43 - Base Sound
02:57 - OD3 Overdrive
03:28 - OD3 + DM2W
03:54 - DM2W Delay
04:36 - Base Sound
04:41 - CE2W Chorus
Some thoughts in the end.
The CE2W is beyond glorious in my honest opinion.
Everything recorded directly to the audio interface (Scarlett 2i2).
Routing for audio is double mono tracks with -20/+20 Panorama."

"This Yamaha SS-30 sounds great. It is a string synth, released in 1977 and it gets a really good write up, many people seem to love it! There are two tones for each note and it can create some really lush timbres. If you are after a stringer, this would definitely be a great option."

It all works and has the metal stand legs.
There is one white key that has an end with broken plastic top
It works but will need a patch job.
There are a couple of slider plastic end knobs missing.
They work as well.
It is clean and working with minor use wear.
No cracks in the casing, missing the front cover"

Roland MC-202 Synthesizer
Roland Jupiter-8 w/ MIDI

"Rare 14-bit version, also referred to as the "JP-8A". It was serviced a few years ago by Rosen Sound, where they replaced the DCB port with a more practical MIDI option. The "LFO Waveform" knob is a bit wobbly, but works fine. If you are skilled with repairs, replacement pots can be found online for $20 bucks ;) Otherwise, this synth performs great, sounds incredible, and ready for your next recording project."
