"This is a grail of a synth right here. The Yamaha Sk series are a masterpiece where a poly synth,mono synth, organ, and strings combine on one machine. I have created so many sick songs on this synth and have to part with it due to relocation. There are scratches on the front panel paint but given it’s from the late 70s it’s in great condition. All of the components still work, only issue is a bad slider for the lower organ volume so it is stuck at one volume setting. It is an easy fix, I will ship at the buyers expense. This synth comes with original 4 legs and custom made road case from encore cases so shipping will be no problem."

"Hi, should be all you need to know to start using FILL
There are two types of FILL in the digitakt, one has a Line and one does not, the one with the line is NOT FILL and is referred to as NOT FILL in this video, it does the opposite of the FILL, a trigger set to NOT FILL will only be active when the PAGE button is not being held.
If you want to go further than shown in this video, remember you can use FILL on anything not just notes, a more advanced thing to try would be when using trigless trigs to do modulation, you could set these to FILL so an LFO is only active when holding PAGE. "
"The year is 2130, and major cities have begun moving underground. Those who can afford it have followed. For the rest of us, a 30-floor long, 100-foot wide escalator commute starts and ends each day. The overhead lights have been expertly tuned to mimic the sunrise, and the transition from natural to artificial light is hardly detectable. As you descend, you close your eyes and mentally hit shuffle on a curated playlist of 6 minute long ambient tracks (the exact length of the trip) and a track called 'Subterranean Commute' starts playing. You didn't sleep well last night — the ceaseless low frequency rumbles from underground construction don't seem to bother anyone but you. The music fills your head and you immediately feel the tension in your shoulders relax. The algorithm has chosen well. You look around you at the sea of heads, some gently bobbing, some motionless, a scattering of head-bangers, and wonder what everyone else is listening to...
Patch notes:
RINGS, in modal resonator mode with two-note polyphony, is receiving gate and pitch CV from an arpeggio on the KEYSTEP PRO that's playing back randomly. The output is going into BEADS for clocked grain generation, which is creating a quasi-contrapuntal melody to the input material.
MOTHER-32 is receiving gate (Euclidean rhythm) and pitch CV (quantized random) from PAM's, with its internal LFO modulating the filter cutoff. It's also sending noise into RIPPLES for filtering (more apparent in the second half of the track).
DFAM, with a short VCA decay, is receiving somewhat erratic triggers from PAM's Euclidean rhythm via MOTHER-32.
STO is receiving random pitch CV from NOISE TOOLS' sample & hold circuit, quantized and offset by the DISTING EX. The sine wave output is then going into a VCA with every third pulse receiving an envelope from PAM's, giving some variation as the sound goes from a sustained note to a pluckier sound. The output is then sent to MAGNETO for tape delay.
PLAITS is in the two operator FM mode, receiving pitch CV from MARBLES, and then going to KAMIENIEC for subtle phase shifting, before heading to its penultimate destination: DATA BENDER for glitchiness followed by a VCA with a relatively slow LFO bringing it in and out of the mix."
"This Roland Cloud version of the Roland JD-800 synth is a VST recreation of an early 90s legend that brought together cutting edge digital synthesis and an eye-catching control scheme that put a huge amount of parameters under your fingertips.
#jd800 #rolandcloud #synth
Roland JD-800 gives you unparalleled control over the venerable Roland D-50 waveforms coupled with TVF multimode filters (an early implementation of digital musical filters). This synthesizer is a whole mood for sure.
The Roland JD-800 original hardware also had a souped-up rackmounted sibling, the JD990. The JD-800 has been used by such musical luminaries as Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, 808 State, and Pet Shop Boys as well as in countless TV and movie soundtracks of the 90s.
The track here is mostly made with the JD-800 plugin but the drums and one lead sound are from the Nexus Rompler VST and G-Force Software OB-E emulation.
"First of 3 videos with the Gemini 2412, starting with this simple performance using 2 sounds derived from a monophonic synth brass patch, loosely inspired by Vangelis (Blade Runner) and Jean-Michel Jarre (specifically Oxygene). The next 2 videos will show you how to make the sounds. The patch emulates the Oberheim SEM design (2 VCO, 1 VCF, 2 ADS envelopes), as the Gemini 2412 is based on the filter from that classic gorgeous-sounding synth module. As many will know, Vangelis famously used the CS-80, and Jarre a variety of expensive early synths, but the humble SEM wasn't necessarily associated with either of them. However, it's character of sound, and that of the Gemini, make it a particularly good choice for brass-like pads and leads, either using it's bandpass filter (as in this video), or it's high pass and low pass filters (much like the CS-80). In the next video I'll show how to construct the brass sound from the later half of this video, and in the video following that will show how to make a couple of sounds directly based on the CS-80 patches used in Blade Runner, so stay tuned.
Check out the AJH Synth playlists for more 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides detailing a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, and each containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

"The unit has the Wine Country Productions 1.2 firmware installed...
The displays are bright and clear, and the joystick is firm and solid as it should be. Note that the keyboard aftertouch does not work, which is a notoriously well-known design flaw of this synth. Everything else works well with no surprises."
