"This listing is for one Korg Poly-61M analog synthesizer. It has the factory-installed MIDI kit and is working great. The battery is brand-new and the insides are free from any sort of battery leakage Korg polys typically have over time if the battery is never replaced. This may be the nicest Poly-61M in existence."
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland GAIA SH-01. This slightly dated synthesizer keyboard and home studio centerpiece is still available new. Is it virtual analog or are we dealing with a case of oscillator scam? Is it nothing but a plastic rompler?

"Oberheim OB-X voice boards tuning trimpots and the autotune function compared to the tuning features of the SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II software VST AU synthesizer.
This is an addition to the 'Voice management and detuning' chapter in the official Tutorial: [posted here]
For this comparison we are having a look at the electronics under the belt of an Oberheim OB-X Rev. 2 with 6 voice cards installed.
OP-X PRO-II internally works exactly the same as a real voltage controlled polyphonic analog synth including separate independent voices, voice-based tuning trimpots, slightly deviating voices caused by device tolerances and temperature drift, and autotune.
The autotune options in OP-X PRO-II however not only cover pitch (as in OB-X) but also filter cutoff (as in Matrix-12), filter envelopes and portamento, and autotune also can be applied seamlessly on demand, so achieving any state between tuned and detuned.
Other than in real voltage controlled polyphonic analog synths OP-X PRO-II can save the state of detunings with the patch and so allows a different sate of detuning for every patch, which was impossible to do in the originals.
SonicProjects invited this engine already back in 2006 with the first version of OP-X PRO (in fact already its precedessor OP-X had it, but not yet offerig user-accessible trimports - only autotune) and was the first plugin manufaturer in the world offering this feature.
In OP-X PRO-II this detuning engine has was extended and refined with a seamless autotune option and quick calibration features."

"Animal Factory Amplification consistently turns out some of the best distortion modules available. I have, well, all of them.
Today I got a shipment of the three latest modules: two are upgrades of existing models, and one is brand new. At the time of this video's creation the manuals weren't yet available, so I'm having to guess a bit as to functionality. Take my commentary with a grain of salt.
Baron Samedi and Pit Viper have both been reworked as surface mount rather than through hole point-to-point wired PCBs. I tried them side by side, and hear no significant difference between the older and newer modules in terms of the quality of sound.
The newer versions do, however, have some new tricks up their sleeve, which you'll see shortly.
And then there's the entirely new module: Bonesaw, a filter with built in FM and drive so as to properly fit in to the nasty, grimy, tear it up, huge tone sound AFA is famous for.
