video upload by Ohm.Studio

"Quick demo of a recently serviced Hillwood HR30 drum machine. Recorded through a custom built spring reverb. No other treatment or editing.

Fully analog sounds in the like of the Ace Tone FR1 / FR2, Roland TR33 / TR66 and other units of the 70s."

Note this appears to be the first post to feature the Hillwood HR-30.

Teisco Teischord C 60s japanese combo organ

video upload by Ohm.Studio

This appears to be the first demo of one featured on the site. You can find pics of one previously posted here.

"Quick demo of a serviced Teisco (also sold by Wem Watkins) Teischord C transistor organ.
Very nice looking and sounding. Very compact and lightweight.
A different taste than the italian ones (Farfisa Compact, Elka Panther, Gem Jumbo etc) or the Vox Continental. Quite a number of footages and timbres for such a small organ, ranging form 16" to 4". Vibrato with variable speed and 2 depth settings.
There further is a 'fullband' tab which is kind of all footage preset but not exactly and a "higher/forte" switch that lowers the volume of the 2 16" tabs to get more high end presence.

Recorded straight to the soundcard with no fx or treatment. This one is begging for a vintage tube amp in order to shine !"

ELEX K2 / Italian string and piano synthesiser

video upload by Ohm.Studio

This appears to be the first demo of one posted on the site. You can find pics of a silver model previosly posted here.

"Here is a quick demo of a quite rare Elex K2 string machine I serviced. It was also branded as the Hohner String Orchestra 2.
From what I reckoned it is very similar in sound and design to the Elka Rhapsody 610.
You get splitable left and right part with Piano / Harpsichord / Cello / Violin preset assignable on either part, each wich its dedicated on/off switch and volume fader, individual sustain faders for both Cello and Violin. Sustain on piano and harpsichord is done by a foot pedal.
You further get a bass sound on the left part of the keyboard, and 3 different combination modes:
- full keyboard: right hand presets are use for the whole keyboard
- split keyboard: left and right hand have their own sounds
- ensemble: this one is interesting and I start the video with that one. You get all the 4 octaves of the strings sounds on the left hand, and only piano/harpsichord on the right one. It sounds massive and you can still mix the 4 string footages.
All in all a very nice string machine.

Recorded straight to the soundcard with no fx or treatment."

SEQUENTIAL PROPHET-12 - Sounds, Patches & Presets | Synth Demo

video upload by synth4ever

"Sequential Prophet-12 synth demo featuring various sounds, patches & presets. This Prophet 12 demo showcases pads, leads, arpeggiators, bass, plucks, fx and more. The Prophet 12 demo was filmed at Sequential headquarters.

Sequential Prophet-12 is a flagship 12-voice, bi-timbral digital/analog synthesizer released by Sequential in 2012. It has 5 DSP-based oscillators per voice (saw, square, tri, sine + 12 selectable complex shapes), 3 noise types (white, pink, red), analog filter & VCAs, cross mod (FM/AM) and linear FM and hard sync.

The Prophet 12 boasts a unique character section with five digital effects - girth, air, hack, decimate and drive - to shape sounds pre-filter. The Prophet 12 also has a Curtis 2 or 4-pole resonant analog LPF and 2-pole resonant HPF. Distortion, tuned feedback & four multi-delays are on-board as well.

The Sequential Prophet-12 has 4 loopable ADSR envelopes and 4 syncable LFOs, arpeggiator, and extensive 16-slot x2 mod matrix with 26 sources and 100 destinations.
With 50+ knobs & buttons and a 5-octave keyboard w/ velocity and aftertouch, the Sequential Prophet 12 gives you lots of hands-on control. MIDI In/OUT/THRU, USB, sustain/expression and dual audio outputs per layer provide lots of connectivity. Finally, there are 396 factory and 396 user slots for storing your patches.

The Sequential Prophet 12 remains one of the deepest synthesizers in terms of programming and sound design possibilities. The bi-timbral capabilities + vast mod-matrix provides ample room to create incredible patches with diverse sonic variety. As a hybrid synth it mixes both digital and analog music technologies in a single powerhouse synth and can do everything from traditional bread and butter sounds, to futuristic soundscapes and beyond.

Hope you enjoy this demo of the Sequential Prophet 12, and thanks to Dave Smith Instruments & Sequential for creating it."
