Cre8audio East Beast vs West Pest // There's only one way to sort it.... FIGHT!!!
video upload by Starsky Carr
"What's the difference between the Cre8audio East Beast and West Pest? One uses subtractive synthesis like pretty much everything else and the other uses Buchla style wave folding and low pass gate inspired circuits... and what does that all mean. Watch and find out :)
These are 2 very different sounding units, one is a bug juicy analog mono synth, the other is plucky, percussive and can be incredibly dirty.
And most fun of all... get both and you've got a mini monster!!"

"Recently serviced Roland SH-5. Every function works as intended, has been fully recalibrated and is nicely in tune. The previous owner touched up some paint on the left hand controller and on the front panel but did a good job! The tolex is in excellent shape and comes with the lid"

Pics of the inside below.
"This is a Oberheim OB-SX 6 voice analog synthesizer. It has been well kept. All the keys, knobs, switches and buttons work. The unit tunes fine when the "Auto" button is pressed. All oscillators work as they should. All of the keys are very quiet and have nice action. The inside is immaculate. The outside case has some scratches and chips on the hood, the underside has longer scratches. Please review all the pictures before purchasing or making an offer. The unit is very deep, about 20", I had to customize my keyboard rack.
· This is a super rare, from the factory 56 patch (switchless), 6 voice late production version – voice cards are the 4 pin variety and are dated: “Nov 04 1981”
· Coming from the factory with 6 voice cards: if you know your history of these beauties you know that most of them came with 4 voices standard and then later moved to 5 voices standard to better compete with the Prophet 5. There were a significantly lower number of factory 6 voice versions produced, and it's almost impossible to find a spare voice card if you don't get the 6 voice version.
· Has had a full power supply rebuild within the last 3 years, modern capacitors & rectifiers with better specs than the OEM 1981 designs.
· Several other internal items were replaced along with the power supply, including: dip switch selector for the voice boards and *ALL* of the potentiometers on *ALL* the voice cards have been upgraded to the multi turn, “box” style as opposed to the original single turn “dial” type potentiometers. Huge difference in calibrating and holding precise values - ALL 6 VOICES TUNE.
Most of the Oberheim classic sounds are factory presets in this fabulous instrument. It will ship with a power cord. The unit should warm up for about 15-30 minutes before use even though it tunes fine at first power up."

Lemondrop and West Pest Synth Combined: Complex and Simple
video upload by Axis of Wold
"Hi!
In this video I try to show you how to make the best of Lemondrop from @1010music and West Pest from @Cre8audio. I send the audio and midi from West Pest through Lemondrop, and it gets very complex sonically without sacrificing simplicity for the musician. I think the combination shines!
IMHO, they make possible a complex sonic world that would have appealed to Don Buchla, the inventor of the so-called West Coast synthesis.
I really enjoyed making this video and my hope is that you will enjoy it, too!
Cheers!"

Synthfest UK 22: More On The Eventide Misha
video upload by sonicstate
"The Eventide Misha is an interesting and unusual product. Featuring a sequencer with a unique twist. Its an interval based approach which makes it rather different to most sequencers.
It has both MIDI and CV in and out and a ton of interesting scale and interval settings.
We'll let Tom from Source Distribution to explain to Gaz, as we're not doing a very good job. :-)"
