OB6 synthesizer repair and demo

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"I just got myself the sonically wonderful DSI/Tom Oberheim OB6 synthesizer.
Unfortunately there was a slight thump on voice 4 when listened to at high volume with no vcos or noise turned up. This was easily rectified by replacing the voice card with one supplied by Dave Smith - just like popping a ram simm into a PC. Just press calibration buttons two times and job done."

Interesting look at the voice boards.

Adam & Eve (tape loop, modular synth, soft synth, & harp)

video upload by poorness studios

"I'm not really sure how to classify this track but I listened to this tape loop and it put me in the mood to create this video. I used my Sony TCM-200DV (playing a tape loop made by The Void Electronics), my Eurorack modular system, Alchemy soft synth, and my Aklot 15-string harp."

Norand Mono and a DB-01 - noodlings (no talking)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Both the Norand Mono and the Erica Synths DB-01 are best known for furiously zipping along through 16-step patterns, although both can easily move into very different realms. While fiddling with the filter and resonance on the Norand (and applying envelopes separately to both) I came across an interesting effect where they sometimes seem to split off into two voices. I couldn't quite decide whether it was spooky, or had a sort of Arabian flavor. The DB-01 seemed a natural fit so I added a very simple drone-mode pattern. Both machines have an added touch of Valhalla delay in Reaper but are otherwise as you see them here.

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Very rare Italian keyboard from 1980 with original soft case made by Farfisa. It has been serviced a couple of months ago, it works great.

It consists of mainly two sections, polyfonic and monofonic, but there are really four.
Rather than it's simple predecessor Syntorchestra 1, the Syntorchestra 4 has a lot in common with the Farfisa Soundmaker.
It shares the same presets and basic specs.

Poly section:
Separate output, volume and tuning
6 polyfonic presets in 3 sections, with vibrato option:
Section 1: Piano, Honky tonk, harpsichord
Section 2: Strings - with separate decay control *
Section 3: Brass and Reed presets, great warm synth tones.

Separate vibrato for the poly section.
The poly section can be routed to the Mono section via the button Poly in Mono. LFO and attack / decay.

Mino section:
Separate output, volume and tuning.
Pitch bend.
8 monofonic synth presets, modifiable LFO: Speed, Vibrato, VCF, brilliance, emphasis (envelope).
Portamento.
Mono preference - when you play chords, you can choose if the mono section triggers the lowest or highest note.

The bag is in less great shape, zipper works but needs love, one shoulder strap had been replaced."
