E-mu Proteus/1XR Demo - ProtoLogic Presets (Bank 1)

video upload by Python Blue

"New video for the new year. This synthesizer demo covers a rarity I recently got my hands on: an E-mu Proteus 1XR expanded with the Protologic board by InVision Interactive, giving it 128 additional presets (a grand total of 512!) and additional samples that help get it close to the later General MIDI standard.

This video covers every preset from the first bank of 64 presets. If enough interest is given, I will cover the other half in a later video."

Octatrack Tutorial Video: Mixer, FX Box, External Remixer!
video upload by

"In this video I share how I use the Octatrack to mix and remix my other Elektron boxes live. This practice allows you to get the most out of 1 pattern and also teaches you the fundamentals of the Octatrack. You will learn how to create record trigs, one shot trigs, using the record menu, setting up THRU machines and Neighbor tracks, set up the Freeze Delay, record external gear perfectly quantized and the Octatrack 'crossfade trick' to bring it all together."

Noodlebox: new favourite sequencer

video upload by allmyfriendsaresynths

"I am a big fan of alternative ways of sequencing, especially those with grids - or with a grid style, and so when I spotted the Noodlebox at Signal Sounds.com I knew I had to buy it. The Noodlebox is a dedicated standalone sequencer specifically designed with Eurorack systems in mind. It has a ton of features, is nice and portable, a really interesting interface, and is probably the best value modular sequencer out there.

In this video I talk about why I bought it, give a bit of a demo of its basic operations, and highlight some of its most interesting features (as well as a couple of things to consider if you're interested in buying one)."

Moog The Source SN 1042

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is a Moog The Source analog synth from 1981. My research indicates this would've been the 42nd unit produced. This was inherited from a friend and I don't have a lot of backstory on its history.

This keyboard was recently serviced by a certified Moog technician and is fully functional. The blue tape and service sticker were leftover from that service and have been removed since the pictures were taken. I've left the "Put Some Bass In Your Face" sticker as its clearly been there forever, but it could easily be removed.

Model 341A
Serial: 1042"

Roland JD-800 Digital Synthesizer SN AD02711

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Fully restored/serviced Roland JD-800 with a road case. This was not a quick once over, well over a dozen hours went into completely rebuilding this synthesizer. The future owner of this JD-800 will NEVER have to worry about the red glue issue or a ribbon cable heat seal failure again! These two issues plague nearly all JD-800s and this one was no different. So we replaced the entire key contact circuit board with a brand new replacement by SuperSynthProjects (see photo). A replacement ribbon cable connector board was also installed. The red glue was completely sealed with a thick layer of two part epoxy and the key bed feels amazing. This JD will never suffer from the dreaded red glue issue again!

Roland JD-08 Boutique Sonic LAB Review

video upload by sonicstate

"The JD-800 was a flagship in Roland's range - introduced in 1991 costing around $2900!
The JD-08 takes that and squishes it into the Boutique format - removing the ribbons controls to make space for the faders, buttons and knobs. With up to 128 note polyphony, four tones, per patch and two separate layers and USB audio it adds more 21st century features.

This Is 52 //Subharmonicon/Mother 32/STO/Plaits/Rings/Mosaic/Mimeophon/Magneto/Stages/Chance/Maths//

video upload by Aleatoric Machine

"Eurorack modular synthesizer performance.
Variations on 3 different 4 note sequences.
Moog Subharmonicon generates the 2 primary rhythmic sequences, running through Strymon Magneto. Sub 1 of the first sequence runs through its own output, then through 2hp MMF and Make Noise Optomix for the rhythmic bass line.
Moog Mother 32 generates the descending drone sequence, which is doubled by Make Noise STO tuned up an octave, both run through Chase Bliss Mood, tuned up a fifth.
Mutable Instruments Rings follows the pitch of the descending sequence, with a bouncing ball rhythmic pattern generated by Make Noise Maths and Function, then run through Make Noise Mimeophon. The drifting harmonic tone on top (unison, +5, +12) is the result of modulating the structure of the Rings sound.
Mutable Instruments Plaits chimes the fifth at the beginning of every 8 bars, as well as being trigger by the end of rise on the Function.
Drums are coming from Mosaic Bass, Snare & Hi-Hat modules, sequenced by Intellijel Steppy 1U. Decay on Hi-Hat is a 7 step pattern generated by Mutable Instruments Stages.
The volume and filter cutoff for the drums and rhythmic bass are controlled by Make Noise Pressure Points, with decay slew controlled by a second Make Noise Maths.
Lots of modulation across different parameters is generated by Ornament & Crime and Qu-Bit Chance.
I think that's it."

Yamaha RS 7000 Groovebox #1 Style Demo "Berlin Techno I"

video upload by Kosmokatze

"Just noodling around with my old Groovebox using some Styles.
Out of the Box, no external FX used.
Is there any community or does anyone else use this thing in the studio?
Still like the uncomplicated way to get some useful results."
