"Univox Branded Crumar Multiman String Synthesizer.

Great sounding string synth in excellent condition.

Bought this locally a few years ago sadly never really used it all that much. It has classic string, brass, and "piano" sounds. Fully polyphonic using divide down technique.

It doesn't have the chorus of many of the other more well known string synths, but nothing some outboard effects can't fix.

Slightly noisy on the output, could probably benefit from having the electrolytic caps changed since it's 40 something years old. Besides that, it it's perfect working condition, all keys and sliders and switches work.

Comes in it's own case with lid."

"If you're here, you know how rare these are. Oh, and it's tiny. Tiny. I put a lighter (not for sale) next to it for a comparison. Those things in the vial, you'll need those to open the bottom plate in order to install batteries, 3AAA to be exact. I included an extra one because you'll lose one and freak out about it even though they only cost about 29 cents at your local hardware store."

Norand Mono - Six Duos

video upload by Norand

"Here is six shots from the talented Jaquarius showing us how to create full tracks with just two Monos : one for the drums and the other for basses and leads.
All FX, blips and others weird sounds are created using Mod Notes on both Monos."

Dedicate Shortwave by Cray

"Initially recorded in 2014 using only the Buchla modular synthesizer in Kyneton, Australia.

This live improvised Buchla performance came about through my childhood love of listening to Shortwave Radio. In Australia we wouldn’t so much hear number stations it was more Indonesian Gamelan phasing in and out with alien like frequencies swooshing about. I would prefer to listen to shortwave over pop music as a child. It has made me the musician I am today.

Dedicate Shortwave appears now in 3 versions, all of same length with quite minimal differences. This is the enhanced 2021 version."

The Seventh Wave Festival of Electronic Music: Number Ten Set for November

Details via Chris MacAdams of The Seventh Wave:

The Seventh Wave
Festival of Electronic Music: Number Ten

Members of Gary Numan’s ‘Tubeway Army’ (Dramatis) return to the live arena!

Tenth Electronic Music Festival comes to Birmingham and once again it includes an all-day free electronic music event featuring talks, demonstrations, interactive sessions, synth manufacturer attendance, a room for attendees to set up and show off their synth gear and a number of free live performances!

In March of 2020 the ninth ‘The Seventh Wave Festival of Electronic Music’ took place across three days – this was just before the UK went into its first National Covid-19 lockdown.

In November of 2021 the event returns and the tenth ‘The Seventh Wave Festival of Electronic Music’ takes place across three days.

For a relatively small festival The Seventh Wave continues to get some of the biggest names in electronic and progressive music. This time around you can feast your eyes (and ears!) on no less than three electronic/synth-pop legends.

On Friday evening, the headliner is Ian Boddy and Nigel Mullaney. Ian Boddy (DiN Record Label Owner) is one of the founding fathers of the electronic music scene in the United Kingdom. Nigel has worked regularly alongside Ian and releases electronic music on the DiN label, home of top artists such as Node, Markus Reuter, Chris Carter and much more.

On Saturday evening, the headliner is Fiat Lux — from the Latin for “let there be light”. Formed in 1982 and hailing from Wakefield in Yorkshire, England, they pioneered a unique sonic stamp, the influence of which is still felt today. Their pioneering blend was full of lush synthesizer textures, acoustic and electric keyboards, and studio effects – all anchored by Steve Wright’s emotive vocals with multi-instrumentalist David Crickmore providing guitar, bass, and keys.

On Sunday, it is the turn of Dramatis who are an English synth-pop band who were formed in the early 1980s. Chris Payne, Rrussell Bell, Cedric Sharpley, and Denis Haines were all originally members of Gary Numan's backing band. They formed Dramatis following Numan's announced retirement in April 1981.Chris Payne and Rrussell Bell are recording again as Dramatis and released 'A Torment of Angels' just before Covid reared its ugly head ….. this is a very rare opportunity to see Dramatis live (with the added bonus of a Q&A).

Tickets can be purchased for the individual paid events from Skiddle at https://www.skiddle.com/groups/theseventhwave/ and for the free event which runs from 10.00 am until 5.00 pm people can just turn up on the day, stay for a few minutes, or get hooked and end up of staying all day!"

Altın Gün - (Live on KEXP)

Altın Gün Live on KEXP with a Roland Juno-60 & SH-2. I beleive that's and SH-2 based on the four knobs and set of sliders to the left of them.

Note the video above and the video above are the same. They are just set to start at different tracks. The above should start with Cemalım and the below with Goca Dünya. Both do an interesting job at showcasing the two synths used in this musical context. Altın Gün is based out of Amsterdam. They perform psychedelic rock covers of classic Turkish/Anatolian folk music.
