The Very Rare 1969 R. A. MOOG 1502 Stereo Analog Tape Recorder


video by Round and Wound tape transfers

This one is in via Brian Kehew.
Never knew this existed. Just when you think you've seen it all, something new but old appears. Giving this one the exclusive label as well.

"At Round and Wound, we have over 100 vintage tape machines, many formats needed to transfer people's old tapes into digital files. But this one holds a special place for us: it's possibly the last of its kind, and with an incredible pedigree. This was built circa 1969 by the Moog synthesizer company as part of a never-successful push to create full electronic music studios. Afterwards, this machine toured the world with Chris Swansen's group, Badger - as playback for difficult parts recorded previously in the Moog factory studio. It's not comparable, sonically, to our more modern/professional machines - so we don't use it for transfers. But it has a place of pride among our many machines, as a custom creation from the team at Moog!"

ARP 2600 - Quantized Sample & Hold


video by O.Z. Hall

"This is a short sample and hold demo using a quantizer. It is NOT random sample and hold. VCO1 is in low frequency mode. The sawtooth output is the input to the sample and hold. The result is a series of semitone patterns that are varied and interesting."

Prophet 5 Synthesizer-1980's Funk Demo


video by Deep Synths

"The Sequential Prophet 5 synth was an iconic synth for many genres of music including Funk from the late 70's and 1980's. This demo is done in the spirit of that genre with only the Prophet and vintage drum samples. No effects were used. The track 'Prophet Funk' is produced by and for Deep Synths."

Cherry Audio Introduces the PS-20 - Hot-Rodded Tribute to Korg's Renowned MS-20


video by Cherry Audio

"The PS-20 is an ultra-realistic, polyphonic, hot-rodded tribute to Korg's renowned MS-20. The dual highpass/lowpass filters super accurately recreate the MS-20's famous raunchy sound in all of its squelchy, screaming glory. We’ve reconfigured the patch panel from the original instrument, adding many desired in and out patch points for all oscillators, filters, and VCAs, correcting the confusing terminology of the original, and throwing in a few extras that greatly expand its usability!

Every part of the instrument has been "souped up" with killer features, including 16-note polyphony, a unique three-layer, eight-step sequencer with flexible CV outs, and integrated effects, including a beastly distortion, modulation echo with stereo spread, and a lush digital reverb with fantastic spring and plate emulations.

The PS-20 truly is one of the most quirky and unique instruments we’ve released. Between its sometimes unpredictable filter behavior, and the tremendous flexibility of its patch panel and sequencer, the possibilities are endless, and the creative "happy accident" quotient of PS-20 is simply off the charts!"

Unfiltered Audio SILO + Arturia Microfreak. Ambient Combo. No Talking


video by Anton Anru

"In this video I'm giving a try to the new plugin by Unfiltered Audio/Plugin Alliance: SILO. I'm passing Arturia Microfreak through this beautiful effect. That really interesting how a sequence or arpeggio transform into an entirely different thing. I've mapped some parameters to Ableton Push 2 to make changes in real time. I'd call SILO a true ambient machine thanks to its granular engine and reverb. It sounds fantastic, audio quality is great, and the features will satisfy many sound designers. Great work, SILO!

Shakmat Harlequin's Context


video by Shakmat

"The Harlequin's Context is a theatre piece in 16 scenes and 4 acts. In those scenes, four channels can shapeshift into different roles such as: offset, random, LFO or envelope. Scene selection can be done manually or can be addressed / sequenced with the CV and gate inputs depending on the set configuration.

Packed in 12hp with a ton of features, the Harlequin's Context is a powerful tool to prepare a live set with, and to create very peculiar modulation signals in the studio."

You can find additional details on Harlequin's Context in previous posts here.
