Sequential Prophet VS | Vector Victor!

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Sequential Prophet VS (Vector Synthesizer) from 1986. A hybrid synthesizer, digital waveforms and analog VCFs & VCAs. 8 voices of polyphony with velocity and after touch.

You make a sound by basically choosing four waveforms, assigning them to the four oscillators (vector points), and then moving the VS's trademark joystick around freely until you hear something pleasing. Movements, or 'vectors' can then be saved, and the sound played back. You can also apply the recorded vector path to another sound altogether and see what happens. *
Separate programmable panned voices and a stereo analog chorus completes the output.
It can sound very lush and smooth while at the same time, crude and digital. Often at the same time. Stellar arpeggiating and everything you do, including moving the joystick, goes out MIDI.

A 33 minute longer version of this video can be accessed through Patreon. In that video I go much more in-depth on the different topics I just browse through in this video.

Waldorf MiniWorks 4 Pole Filter

"The MiniWorks is a stand-alone 4-pole resonant analog filter and modulation module. Use it to create those Daft-Punk filter sweeps on entire drum & rhythm loops! Run any sounds, synthesizers or loops through it and filter them with a truly analog-like VCF (filter) that is not only very flexible but MIDI controllable as well! There are many modulation sources that can be programmed between the extensive VCF, VCA, envelope and LFO sections and these settings can be stored in the (20) user memory patches. The MiniWorks can also be overloaded for a lo-fi crunchy sound too! If it were a true stereo filter it would be perfect (input is mono, output is stereo), but in its price range it is the best analog filter module available"

Videos Auto Playing in iOS

In case you are wondering why videos are autoplaying on the site in iOS, it happens when you touch a video while scrolling. Instead of tapping to scroll on the center of the site, try the right, or anywhere but the body of a video. It appears to be an iOS 15 issue. Hopefully Apple will fix it.

Erica Synths - Matrix Mixer

video upload by Tim Shoebridge

"This is my first in a two-part video about the Matrix Mixer from Erica Synths. This video is just a brief introduction to this device, in the second video I will go into examples of how I have been using it and the considerations I have been making along the way.

Note that the illustrations in this video as to what you would need in terms of Eurorack modules to replicate this Matrix Mixer are only theoretical. There are many different ways to do it and I have not invested a huge amount of effort to find the cheapest. The purpose of this video is to highlight the power of the Matrix Mixer and to give an appreciation of what it achieves in such a small and reasonably priced package."

Erica Synths Matrix Mixer - Part 2


"Here's the second part of my video review of the Matrix Mixer desktop module from Erica Synths. In this video I look at some of the practicalities of using the Matrix Mixer for patching Eurorack modules and semi-modular synths."

1977 Moog Retail Price List

via Retro Synth Ads where you'll find the rest of the scans and the full write-up.

"From a purely design perspective, there's a few interesting elements I'd like to touch on. First, is that signed photo of Keith Emerson. Not surprising since he had been a long-time spokesperson for Moog. And awesome that he shows up in a pricing brochure of all things. It's a big step up from the 1974 brochure that featured that little conductor dude that was their kind-of mascot back in those mid-70s days."
