Moog Grandmother: Modular Experimental Patches. Sound Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"Welcome to the patchbook for a semi-modular synth Moog Grandmother.
«Explorer» is a collection of 50 experimental but usable presets: 12 Leads, 10 Basses, 9 Plucks, 10 Arps, 6 Drones, 3 Chords.
It includes aggressive, bright, detuned, freaky, noisy, atonal, metallic, generative, evolving, rhythmic timbres. This soundset is opposite to my previous one, «Analog Classics», where I made more regular/basic/classical timbres. In «Explorer» bank of presets, I tried to dive deeper in a modular nature of Grandmother and get most interesting and exciting results.
🔊 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/3x756yg
The patches are suitable for many genres: Techno, Ambient, House, Deep, Progressive, Trance, Minimal, IDM, Downtempo, Lounge Chill Out, Electronica, Dark/Noise, Industrial, Breakbeat, Drum and Bass, and many others.
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.
You should also install firmware v1.1.3 or higher to have access to all settings used in this soundset.

Animoog Z Quick Minute
video upload by boxoftextures
"Well, this was not the video I was expecting to upload today but Moog surprised us with the release of Animoog Z. New and improved! I really liked the original and I really like this one; it's a bit of an odd synth, but you can also make some incredibly unique textures. This is just a minute or so, basically the first thing I did with it. Gimme a few weeks and who knows what'll happen! 100% Animoog, nothing else used."

"This vintage CZ-1 is fully functional and in very good condition. The CZ-101 is a classic Casio digital synthesizer that uses Phase Distortion synthesis to shape sounds and the most advanced of the CZ series. The CZ-1 features 2 Oscillators per voice with a selection of 8 waveforms which are then modulated by it's three 8 stage envelopes which control pitch, phase angle, and amplitude. This style of synthesis is similar to FM synthesis which gives them a character not unlike the Yamaha DX/TX line of synthesizers. It also features 8 note polyphony, 32 patches of memory (16 preset, 16 user writable), ring modulation, Split/Layer and standard polyphonic modes, Velocity, Aftertouch, and a vibrato with selectable waveforms for PM like effects."

"This Erica Synths LXR-02 Digital Drum Synth is fully functional and in near mint condition.
Two companies - Sonic Potions and Erica Synths joined efforts to develop a drum machine that would stand apart from the masses and the LXR-02 was born. The LXR is a full-fledged digital drum machine with an integrated sequencer. Its sound engine provides 6 different instruments, each with over 30 parameters to tweak, producing sounds from classic analog emulations to crunchy digital mayhem, thus offering some of the most extensive sound design capabilities found on a drum synthesizer. Its compact, durable design and clear user interface make it ideal for live gigs."

"This is not your ordinary synth. Chances are if you're looking at this you already know that, but Lyra is a 8 voice synthesizer with dual delay and distortion on the final output. Each of the voices reacts and can be modulated by another in various ways. The way the instrument is played is by using the touch sensitive pads at the bottom. Lyra 8 is ideal for drone, ambient, soundscape, nightmare sound making machine."

"A legend with warm rich lush sounds and massive programming capabilities. Anyone who has played one of these realizes quickly how special these keyboards are. It has a rich lush sound with massive programming capabilities. Onboard there are two filters, two oscillators per voice (2x16), plus sub-oscillator, ring mod, 16 part multitimbral, and ribbon controller. Even the Moog One does not match the multitimbral capabilities of the A6.
This A6 has the version 01.40.12 operating system loaded (pic). It also has been stable and I've never had a problem with it in the 5 years I've used it in the studio. It tunes up with auto tune function every time and all voices are good as seen in the picture. This A6 comes with a power cord and Roland Midi Uno One interface. Free shipping in Continental US."

"Very cool sounding very well built like a tank
getting hard to find.
Designed for both DJs and Musicians, the Warp Factory is possibly the ultimate stand-alone Vocoder. With those great big knobs, the Warp Factory is designed for straight-forward hands-on use. It has an XLR Mic input (conveniently located on the front) and a quarter-inch line input for use as the Formant or carrier signals. Then there are two quarter-inch line-inputs and two RCA phono inputs for your stereo source sounds, either drum loops, mixes, songs, synth pads, etc...
The way it works is whatever Formant signal you have, say your voice, will be warped into taking on the characteristic of the Source signal you have, say a buzzy synth sound. This would in effect give you that Robot voice effect.
The Warp section is where you'll find most of the knobs and cool features of the Warp. There is a low- and high-pass filtering switch. A 'Gender' knob adjusts the pitch of the Formant. 'Q' adjusts the width of the filtering. An 'Order' adjusts the filter resolution for clear to abstract vocoding effects. There is also Noise and a built-in oscillator Source signal whose pitch is adjusted by 'Robot Pitch'. Various Bypass and Freeze switches and complete MIDI implementation make this the ultimate Vocoder for DJs, musicians and producers"
