"It is a DIY system, professionally built and last year overhauled ( capacitors, ICs, potentiometers, switches, etc renewed ). All functions of the modules are given. The knobs work without any noise beside. The whole system is designed 2 voices and internally pre-wired, so that at the COM module the final signals concerns ( VCO - VCF - VCA , each with ADSR ; LFOs are at VCOs, . . ) The sequencer is a 16 step sequencer or two times eight steps. Start/Stop and Reset buttons . The only weak point on this system is that the front panels are not fixed at the front. They do hold through the rear connector, but should be better secured for transport and more intensive use. Total : 1x step sequencer, 4x VCO , 2x VCF 24dB, 4x ADSR, 2x dual VCA, 1x LFOs , noise module, COM (EQ+Output ), keyboard module, power supply 220V"

"This is a 1970s Italian-made Crumar Orchestrator / Multiman. It's a truly unique piece with some cool features. It's basically an entire orchestra at your fingertips. It's sort of the Italian answer to the Polymoog.

First off, all the SOUNDS!

The FAT AF ANALOG BRASS. You can control the filter sweep with a normal attack curve or use the foot pedal to control it manually for some super rad retro sci-fi sounds.

The SWEET STRINGS. They're very reminiscent of the Solina string sound. Independent cello, violin sections for both the bass and treble side.

The MEDIOCRE PIANO & CLAVINET sounds. They're...kinda neat.

The SUPER DEEP AND PUNCHY BASS. This is only on the bottom part of the keyboard. It also has an independent output just for the bass and it is dreamy for filling out the low end

In addition to the brass swell pedal, there's also a volume pedal. Both work well!

This synth as 4 outputs : MAIN, PIANO/BASS, STRINGS, & BRASS. You can either use the main output and make it a big mono synth or process each section independently! Very useful if you want to mix the parts with different effects later on.

They keyboard is naturally split between bass & treble so you can set each side to use a different set of sounds (exempli gratia, low brass + bass, high violins & cello).

I recently opened up this synth and gave it a very thorough servicing. All connections are strong, all the circuits got cleaned and the pots are as clean as I can make them. The sliders work well and are generally free of scratchiness.

The issues :

+ Although the sliders all work well, there's a few missing slider caps.

+ The middle C violin sound is quiet so you can't use it in isolation. Not really noticeable in normal use.

+ No MIDI control on this beast. This was from the Before Times.


That's it! Everything else works great. The only thing that would really kick this up to 1000% is the set of exceedingly rare bass pedals.

Apparently Radiohead loves this synth, and I see why. It's got a haunting, dark tone that matches well with their sound. It's also really well suited to live performance / tracking, as you can use the two pedals to make a very expressive performance. It comes in its own road case!"

video upload by Anton Anru

"«Retromania» is a collection of 50 patches for Behringer 2600. It includes 15 basses, 14 Leads, 13 Plucks, 8 Pads.
📼 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/3snGeRM
The soundset is suitable for Retrowave, Synthwave, Pop, Electronica, Lo-fi, Electro, Disco, Cinematic and Video Game Music in Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk genres… for everything that is associated with Vintage, Retro, Old…
You will find well-known timbres here: huge and light basses, singing leads that work great for solos, punchy plucks for arps and seqs, warm analog pads with evolving modulations.

The soundset is presented in the form of PDF-Document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters worth tweaking during the playback, how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn lots of things about the synth and discover its true depth.

Each patch has an audio example, it helps to understand how a patch is supposed to sound. To recreate these patches you need up 8 patch cords.
