"1st part -- just pure tones of unit - straight into soundcard
2nd part - straight into soundcard - through filter plugin and delay plugin
3rd part - are 3 overdubs -- using 2 overdubbed sounds to make a chord and the third playing with the pitch through small stone phaser guitar pedal and some spring reverb."
"Ok, it's not my genre, this was just an experiment but I had a lot of fun playin' it so... why not to share it ;-)
Everything is played and sequenced in real time with my eurorack modular synth.
Teenage engineering OP-1 + OP Lab as master keyboard/controller. Mackie mixer on the right to adjust levels and mute/unmute tracks.
Korg SDD-3000 and Eventide Space as master FXs.
Recorded straight to audio interface from mixer outputs.
I hope you like it. ;-)"
"Improvising on the pseudorandom oscillator selection triggered by several instrument MIDI out tracks on my Protosynth V1 experimental polyphonic firmware."
"#jamuary2017 // day 29 // Today´s jam:
Kitchen Jam. No cooking – just baking beats with the Novation Circuit on the kitchen table. Ingredients: custom samples for the drums and MY PANDA SHALL FLY synth patches."
All hardware sequencing. This is the first jam I've been able to use all my hardware in MONTHS. Well, almost all m hardware. I still need a power supply for my Volca Bass ( I get that soon ).
This all came together in a matter of 15 minutes and recorded in one take So good to have all my hardware hooked up and enough inputs to support them, makes mixing easy
I used Nexus2 VST for the live pads, I hope you enjoy.

"Korg Trident MK1. This thing sounds amazing and super old school analog. Everything works great on this. There are a few missing button caps, but the buttons still work great and I can ship extra buttons along with it ( I have a bag with a bunch in there). This has been serviced maybe a year ago. Obviously many marks on the case especially on the wood but other than that this thing is in pretty awesome shape..."
"This J-wire Pro One was serviced on 11-30-16 by Greg Montalbano via Music Technologies Group.
Routine service included pots, switches and key contacts cleaned, bypass caps were replaced, and the synth was tuned & scaled. Furthermore an IEC Power Connector was installed, Key Bushings were replaced, and the MTG MIDI Mod was installed (Midi In, Out and Thru)!
"This system has a STS Creature v2 and Mayhem M-Class panels in absolute MINT condition that work perfectly. The M-Modules are housed in a Serge 2.5" shallow boat with the obelisk power distribution to the modules as is standard. It includes a custom built solid oak cabinet that is deep enough to house a PS2A (not included) so it's really a compact powerful Serge "system". The Creature 2 and Mayhem are a great pair and I have a Mayhem and Custom Creature in my main system...wonderful they are.
I am also including a set of Serge Rack Ears, (6) 12" Yellow/Red/Blue, (8) 8" Gray and (1) 5ft Black Pomona Banana patch cords. Also included are two Banana to 1/4" George L cables that I made to connect to other gear. The 5ft Pomona is great if you want to ground the Serge to another system, it being quote long.
Lastly you can see in the pictures there is an additional "audio tail" coming out the back of the boat. This is tapped off the X-Fade and goes to a female 1/8" stereo jack allowing you to have a dual mono 1/8" output as well as the front 1/4" mono audio out. There is a zip tie that holds this firmly to the inside chassis rail just like the power tail on an M-Module. The only truly minuscule blemish is at the bottom edge of the Mayhem were there is a very, very tiny ding less than 1/2 the size of a pin head. It's note worth mentioning but I am just in case as it's pretty hard to see."
"The OB-MX, possibly one of the most misunderstood synths of all time. While it seems to promise the sounds of the Moog and the Oberheim SEM it does not deliver that hardly at all. The filters are something along the line of but not quite the same as, application is similar to, the filters they are named after.
This made a lot of people angry and disappointed back in 1994. The Brain child of the chap that owned Oberheim at the time during its transition to Gibson. It wasn't until Don Buchla did a major redesign this machine made it to market. The story goes that Don specified very particular types of capacitors and the company sometimes followed instruction, sometimes just used what ever they had in the parts bin that week.
They even changed the VCA' chips on occasion! Don was not one to suffer people not following his instruction and made his objections quite well known. Most of this impacted the stability and application of the VCA. Why Don went to work for another big music company after the CBS issues I do not know.
With all this in mind, if you are looking for something that sounds like a mix between an OB-8, Matrix 12, CS-80 and Prophet 5 you might enjoy it. Éric Mouquet (Deep Forest) Loves his and just released a video of a sounds he has created for his new upcoming album (well worth a watch). Like many things Don created, if you don't apply and commit yourself to the use and headspace of the device, you don't get much out of it! All the sounds were created on the OB-MX using only delays and reverbs."
Cool warning inscribed on the back:
"There are thousands of parts inside but none are user serviceable, so kindly refrain from removing the covers. Do not take the OBMx swimming or play it in the rain. Custom designed for Oberheim by Don Buchla. Manufactured by Oberheim, Oakland, California"
"The Voyetra-8 (Voyetra-Eight) is an eight voice polyphonic analog synthesizer. Released in 1982 by Octave-Plateau Electronics (later renamed Voyetra and still later merged with Turtle Beach Systems to become Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc.), it was one of the first analog programmable synthesizers to be rack-mountable and remains one of the most flexible digitally controlled analog synthesizers."
"A generative patch that combines the Nord Modular G2 Demo with Eurorack.
The G2 patch contains 4 sine oscillators which are independently, randomly triggered and tuned (using quantisers). The mixed output is sent to the Odio module via USB. The Eurorack system is used for further processing. The result is recorded using the inputs on the Odio module.
"Recorded using Moog Mother-32 (x3) and Make Noise modules. First experiment with the Make Noise Tempi. All notes and modulations are coming from the synths and modules, no outside MIDI or DAW is being used here. Delay is from a Roland Demora and reverb is from a Strymon BigSky. Audio is straight from the mixer."
"Some pads I designed for my next project, mostly ambient orchestral flavour. The wavetables I use are based on PPG2.2 and Korg WS. I especialy like the grainy sound of these wavetables, the analog filter is really amazing. The reverb is controlled by the Wave Aux modulated by velocity or modwheel."
"She's a Tonus Arp (V2600p 2.0) so has great 4027 VCOs and the 4012 "Moog" ladder filter.
This Synth has it all and it is a dream to have owned it.
ABSOLUTLEY complete. Comes with original keyboard, patch cables, owner's manual and v rare suggested patches booklet.
Cosmetics are great and there are no horrors and though the case does show some patina (this is an old synth!) there is no peeling tolex or dented wood etc etc. She looks good!
Functionality is virtually perfect minus scratchy reverb tank sliders and a loose Cinch Jones. (Entire new Reverb tank is only $40 and the Cinch Jones are known to oxidize, which is an easy fix with some cleaner)."
"I've been playing around with Wasp like circuits..........this I call EXACTA..........an exact Wasp like clone plus some extras! The video is in 3D Anaglyph view..............so you will need red/cyan glasses to watch! Apologies for the 3D!..........they are my first movie experiments!"
See this post for a pic of the MacBeth EXACTA prototype and some details.
"This is the first time Ben played with Sally and me and things just seemed to gel right away. Since I was mostly handling sequencing and background textures, I was able to shoot a bit of video and stills while we were playing. Instruments and tools used include: trumpet, Haken Continuum, (virtual) piano and Rhodes, Ableton, DSI Pro 2, Moog Voyager, Make Noise Shared System, Eventide H9, Borderlands, Animoog and probably a few other things that I've forgotten or was not aware of. I particularly enjoy how Sally's brassy Continuum timbres intertwine with and compliment Ben's trumpet work. And when you hear trumpet and Rhodes happening at the same time, it's because Ben was playing them at the same time. No overdubs here. All recorded live. An incredibly enjoyable musical experience that I hope we can soon repeat. - Chris Stack"

Wiedmann wants to inspire interdisciplinary work between engineers and musicians, and allow people to explore music and music theory in a creative and fun way."
"Kebu's all-analog synth cover of AVICII's "Silhouettes", performed live at Marias Ballroom, Hamburg, during Kebu's Perplexagon Tour in April 16, 2016.
http://kebu.fi
The song was performed using only analog synthesizers, either played live or sequenced. The performance was recorded directly from the mixer to a stereo track and later mixed together with the ambience from the venue.
Equipment used in this song: Roland TR-808, JX8P, Juno 60, Alpha Juno 1&2; Korg Polysix, Poly 61, Mono/Poly, Micro-preset M500; Jomox AirBase99; Touched-by-sound DRM1; Oberheim Matrix 1000; Logan String Melody mk II; Alesis Andromeda A6; MAM MB33 mk II; Akai MPC2500 (only for MIDI sequencing); Yamaha 01V96; Lexicon MPX500, MPX500, MPX1; Kenton Pro-2000 mk II, as well as a midi patchbay and additional preamps for my mixer."
"For sale is my Sequential Circuits Multitrak. This is a rare classic vintage synthesizer and in my opinion very underrated, much better than the more readily found Sixtrak. It has a awesome analog sound along with a cool built in arpeggiator & sequencer. Awesome for pads but also gets very beefy in mono-stack mode. This might be the nicest Multitrak you will find. It's in super MINTY shape, even the bottom is almost perfect. It has custom wood sides and looks and plays perfectly. Includes power supply. Be sure to check out the detailed pictures to make sure you like it. Don't miss out on this awesome SCI synth!"
"The 888 is an amazing sounding drum machine, deep deep bass, snappy snare and smooth hi hats. Lots of excellent programming capabilities. A great way to get classic TR808 style sounds and programming but with much more range of sound and program flexibility."
"For sale is a rare Roland TB303. It's in MINT shape and fully functional. Includes original box, manual, quick start card, warranty registration, carry case bag (also in excellent shape) and power supply (not pictured but one will be included). This unit looks like it was kept in storage for most of its life and hardly ever used, as there is minimal signs of use or wear. All the knobs turn smoothly, scratch free and buttons are all triggering properly. Super hard to find a 303 that performs are perfectly as this one. You won't have any issues with buttons double triggering or requiring firm presses, programming on this is a breeze. This one has been clearly babied over the years and it shows. No cracks, chips, dings or worn our corners like you find on most 303s. No wear around the knobs which shows it hasn't been used for intense filter or knob twisting action. No rust or grime or mildew funky smells either. Even the bottom looks perfect. I only found some very very minor signs of wear which was lightly from rubbing again the case while sitting in the box. Check out the detailed pictures below to make sure you like it. The battery compartment is clean, no battery leakage anywhere. One of the nicest 303 sets I've seen for sale in a while. The 303 is a must have for acid, techno, dance, electronic, hiphop and more. Especially awesome when paired up with a TR606, TR909 or TR808. Don't miss out on this classic synth!"
"This Poly 800 has the reversed keys, plus the following modifications:
Potentiometer for filter cutoff frequency
Potentiometer for filter resonance amount
Filter slope switch (12 or 24 dB / octave)
Switch to toggle FM on/off
Potentiometer for FM amount
These additions extend the synth's range to far beyond a normal Poly 800 (although it can be used without the mods by turning cutoff to max, resonance to min, selecting 24 dB / octave and switching 'FM' to off). The FM can add harmonic overtones, or extreme distortion at higher amounts. Care should be taken with the resonance amount as, after about 75%, 'feedback' can occur quite suddenly (and loudly). Therefore, running the instrument through a compressor is recommended."
