"The K5m rack-module version is basically the same as the K5 except that it has 126 adjustable harmonics and 4 assignable audio outputs and a stereo mix output. If you plan to use the K5 strictly as a sound source in an established MIDI studio, the K5M desktop module version is more compact and practical than the keyboard version."

Posting for the pic of the inside below. Pretty amazing how small the engine board is. This one is scuffed with the following seller's notes: "Anyway, it's in used condition - when I got it the keybed wobbled and the data entry knob needed DeOxit. So, I took it apart and reinforced/replaced the keybed supports with new screws - it now plays as good as new, aftertouch is perfect too. In the interests of full disclosure for the sale, I've added a couple of photos of the inside of the synth showing where I've reinforced and renewed the key struts. They should last a long while now.

Likewise, the single endless pot on this - the data dial - suffers from potentiometer jump (like the Dave Smith synths) and needs a regular DeOxit but it perks up nicely. Being so knobby, the data dial isn't as essential as it otherwise might be, it's not required for patch switching or general programming. I can link a buyer to the DeOxit I use on Amazon which cost me £7 (being flammable, it obviously can't be posted). If you own hardware synths, it's a good thing to have around anyway.

All the other rotary knobs and sliders work perfectly - one of the envelope sliders (sustain) feels a little scratchy but the data input slides perfectly, it's not a problem. The paint has peeled around one of the buttons (the track 1 button) as the photos show; but the buttons work fine. There are no missing pots.

The moulded ends often get cracked and go missing, as they're the only plastic bits - but these are intact and strong. A few scratches and dents but nothing huge."

90s Modular Synthesizer: Analogue Systems RS-8000 Sequence #Shorts​


video by Elliott Liu

"Analogue Systems started in 1995 with Bob Williams starting production of a modular system. Unaware at the time, it was similar in size and power specification to the now standard Eurorack format.

Here I'm MIDI sequencing a 3 voices independently and controlling the balance of each of them."

Short one, but you don't see demos of the RS8000 often. Analogue Systems was part of the birth of the modular resurgance back when only a handful of manufacturers existed. AS and Doepfer were the first to produce 3U modules, although with different power schemes. Doepfer eventually became the standard and the eurorack format as we know it today was born.

Doboz TSNM - Touch Sensing Note Memory MKII Eurorack Module


TSNM mkII by Doboz [application examples] video by Máté Szabó



via Doboz

"Touch Sensing Note Memory MKII is the second incarnation of TSNM in Eurorack format. Transposition plates have been replaced by illuminated pushbuttons, thereby freeing up some space for two more note plates. The module does not require external 5V power source anymore, and the footprint for the MPR121 breakout board now accepts the ones made by Adafruit also. The panel got narrower by 2hp, now comes with matte black finish and gold plated holes over the LED display for better visibility.

Firmware v4.0 introduces some new features:
– new internal structure (keyboard > arp > sequencer > quantiser > portamento > vibrato)
– internal clock
– individual clock multiplication/division for arp and sequencer
– pressure controlled transposition
– improved arpeggiator algorithm
– rhythm sequencer for arpeggiator
– gate types per step (ratcheting) for note sequencer
– new and improved recording mode for note sequencer with overdubbing
– pressure output can act like a proper AD, ASR or looping AD envelope generator
– internal modulation options for various parameters of envelope generator
– a second voltage sequencer available at pressure output
– 8 user editable scales for quantiser
– portamento (gliding) shapes
– vibrato with pressure controlled depth and 4 waveforms
– 2 note polyphony (please keep in mind that the pressure CV output has only 12-bit resolution, don’t expect the same precision as for the note CV output)

TSNM is a performance oriented monophonic keyboard controller featuring 12 note plates (tuneable over 6 octaves) and two transposition buttons (variable transposition distance from -36 to +36 semitones). Highly accurate pitch (V/oct) output is guaranteed by a precision 16-bit DAC. Pressure sensing capability of note plates gives maximum human control through the dedicated CV output. On-board arpeggiator, sequencer, quantiser (with user editable scales), pressure CV recorder, envelope generator, random voltage generator, slew limiter, vibrato. The module can save 17 presets including keyboard layout, sequence and all the options under settings."
