"This is one of the rarest if not THE rarest System 100m production run module Roland made. This is serial #00002. I have no idea how this works, and based on online discussion, it is a bit of a mystery. Yes, the price is $5000USD, but the price of the 165, 172, 173,174, 182 have all gone sky high in the last few years. I figure this is worth more, just based on rarity alone. This is a collectors item, not something that I figure is actually usable in today's world. My exact module was featured in '50 years of Roland History' book."

6 Useful tools you can make with VCAs


video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"‘You can never have enough VCAs’, is a classic slogan. But why? In this video I demonstrate 6 tools you can patch up yourself using just a couple of VCAs and some basic tools. Those are the panner, crossfader, voltage controlled polarizer or ring modulator, simple logic, and voltage controlled mixer.

The wonderful world of gain staging, or: how to balance your Eurorack signals


video upload by Frap Tools

"Today we'll introduce the topic of gain staging because yes. We'll explore the concepts of gain versus volume, headroom, and saturation. We'll also do some examples, like how to interface a modular synth with guitar pedals and how to interface a guitar with a modular synthesizer. At the end, a bonus tip on saturation.

SOLAR 42 | AMBIENT SYNTH MACHINE


video upload by ELTA music

"SOLAR 42 is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music. No midi, no presets.
The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music. It is an improved version of the older SOLAR 50 model. The instrument was inspired by early electronic musical instruments of the 1920s and 1950s, notably Leo Theremin's «Harmonium» instrument, as well as science fiction film soundtracks.
The SOLAR 42 does not look like a classic synthesiser, which may confuse the user as it looks very complicated. In fact, it is easy to use. It has 8 voices as separate blocks, a mixer with pan and double effector, and various CV blocks.

Arturia Matrix 12 V - Sound Bank '85


video upload by Polydata

"The last great analog polysynth. The Oberheim Matrix-12 was a masterpiece of sound and engineering, and the Arturia Matrix-12 V is the only plug-in emulating this landmark instrument.

A bank of 30 patches drawing inspiration from synthesizer sounds found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s. The goal was to highlight the beautiful and unique sound of this instrument. I've always loved the tone of this plug-in - it has it's own sonic character while still sounding like an Oberheim, and it's unlike anything that came before or after it.

Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.

First interaction with the GHOST Pedal and GOLDEN MASTER Pedal


video upload by Endorphin.es

"The autumn is here and we are preparing to unveil the very first sound examples from our GHOST effect pedal routed into the GOLDEN MASTER pedal with different sound sources: from dreamy guitars to fluted ambient textures and to cocky breakcore loops.

All summer, we were testing and improving, and improving and improving to make sure we delivered the best quality.

The features of GHOST Pedal - multi-dimensional effect processor - will open up the infinite world of sonic variation with a bunch of cool presets and a sublime interface design created in synergy with ANDREW HUANG @andrewhuang GOLDEN MASTER Pedal is a unique multiband processor consisting of EQ, Compressor, and Mid/Side processor, all three available at the same time.

Save the date!
The very first batch is already in assembly awaiting to be available worldwide on the 17th of October."
