Alesis AirSynth and Doctor A - short performance demo (5 presets)
video upload by SynthAddict
0:00 Intro/Preset 01+reverb Android Choir
1:01 Preset 03+delay FM
2:23 Preset 05+reverb Oberon Swell
3:28 Preset 09+delay Air-amin
4:20 Preset 02+delay Beat Machine
"The Alesis AirSynth is a fun, rare and expressive unit to create synths sounds, drum/perc bits, and FX. the aXYZ Dome controller (a fancier version of the Roland D-beam) allows careful and wild control of various sounds. The AirSynth only has 50 presets but you get quite a variety of patches and variation with the dome controller. Add some FX and it really shines.
The companion AirFX unit (blue) has the same basic function an layout, but it’s purely an effect unit. I’ll post a demo of that one soon.
The only drawback is it’s the typical Alesis AC-AC adapter power (not AC-DC), so for mobile use you have to use an AC inverter and a DC power bank (I’ve done it many times). It’s just more bulky.
Unit has 50 Factory Presets - Synths/Drums/FX"

"Rare two minikorg 700 units modded in one unit. Unique. Is in good working condition. Only little cracking in the volume sliders. With the lower toggle switch (orginal on/of switch on the front) you can put the unit(s) on and off. On the back is a cv/gate/filter mod and some switches to control the lower or the upper part for the cv gate and the filter. The upper cable hole is empty see picture 9. The seperated outputs on the back still works. Next to the standard volume outputs is a extra output, this is for the both parts. It's a 220 volt version. The lfo from both synth working together to get strange rhytmes. It comes with extra parts from the mod like the extra wooden pieces."

Sequential Artist Spotlight Interview with DELAURENTIS
You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.
"Musician, producer, composer, writer, and singer – DeLaurentis is one and more. It’s the story of a French little girl who would watch her dad playing music, and quickly understood that musical notes could spring up and fly away from her arms, her hands, her fingers. The music was a part of her. With this revelation, the sky opened up to her. After several years spent at the Conservatory she became a self-taught producer, and discovered the world of computer music influenced by Laurie Anderson, one of the first women to pioneer electronic music. DeLaurentis settled in Paris in 2015, and released her first two EPs. She started to get noticed then, with her unique universe and music videos. Her new album “UNICA” is due to release on September 3rd, 2021. We chatted with DeLaurentis on how she uses the Prophet Rev2 in her music."
