KORG POLY-800 HQ DEMO - Vintage Synthesizer 1984

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"The Korg Poly-800 came out 1984 and is a interesting analog synthesizer with good, interesting sounds. It has MIDI, runs even with batteries, and can be used as a remote keyboard. It was cheap, almost every musician could afford one.

It has DCO's and a VCF - a real analog filter. It also has 3 envelopes and a noise generator. A shame that it doesn't have something like RING MOD. or OSC SYNC. But okay, it was small and cheap.

In this movie I show you some of my own sounds - without any added effects or equalizing. Really, it CAN sound excellent, if you program your own sounds. Some of the factory presets are ok, but not always that great...

The Poly-800 is great for analog pads, sequencer sounds and leads."

Wiard / Malekko NoiseRing Anti-Oscillator Random FM Sequences

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Awesomeness! The NoiseRing is controlling the pitch of the Anti Osc which is being modulated by a Cwejman D-LFO. It seems random at first then you can start to hear a structure in the chaos. The NoiseRing will repeat a sequence for a while and then change to another random sequence. The sequences vary depending on the "Chance" and "Change" variables which can also be modulated externally with CV's. The NoiseRing is also clocking an Analogue Systems rs200 sequencer, pitch A going to the linear fm input of the AO. The rs200 is also triggering an A.S. rs60 EG which is opening the Borg filter module, doubling as a filter and VCA. FM randomadness!"

i9 07.15.2009 (Arturia Moog Modular V)

YouTube via infinite9ths. sent my way via UniQue Werkx
"The Arturia Moog Modular V is an extremely versatile virtual synthesizer. In addition to a whole range of enhanced patching abilities and MIDI controller integration on the modular level, the polyphonic aspect is really nice. How about 4, 8 or 16 (however much cpu is available) modular or sequenced voices at once! I love it.

Restored Yamaha Rm1x Sequence Remixer (1 of 2)

video upload by Yamaha Rm1x

YouTube via pmanderson70.

via this auction

"This is a Yamaha RM1x Sequence Remixer I'm selling on eBay.
The video was recorded with a Samsung NV24HD pocket camera.
Audio recorded with Audacity on a PC and later mixed with Windows Movie Maker.

Sequence 2 includes additional percussion from a Yamaha S90 synthesizer.
Sequence 1 is 100% RM1x.

27 (keyboard) contact switches were replaced with better tactile switches. The original black (Mitsubishi) floppy drive was replaced by a Panasonic drive.

The drums and basses are my favorite sounds on this thing; the second sequence bass is too funky for words."

I'm controlling the SEM with my Voyager Old School via the VX-351 CV Expander.

Hope you dig it, and thank you Tom Oberheim for recreating this amazing synthesizer!"

Some audio 'made with doepfer'

via ISM who brought us the Big Doepfer Filter Shootout:

"All tracks were made with a Doepfer A100 system plus some drumsamples, a Roland RE-201 and a Korg SE500. Polyphonic stuff was done with a detuned DX7 pure sine oscillator patch processed with Doepfer modules. Mixing done in Cubase.

The Doepfer modules that you can easily recognize are the filters and BBD modules. The bass sounds are derived from pure bass sine waves with A-136 distortion and A-137 wave multiplier. Phasing is done with the 12 stage vactrol phaser and a bit of thru zero flanging with the A-188-1 and A-118-2 BBD modules. But basically all sounds are processed with Doepfer modules.

Early 2010 there will be a limited edition cd with about 15 dubs in this kind of style."

Oxygene 13 played by GroovBird

YouTube via GroovBird. via fischek
"Many thanks to Jean Michel Jarre, for producing this song, and for allowing us fans to share our interpretations.

I play this live, using the following instruments:
- Roland XP-30 with Vintage expansion board, using the Solina patch with heavy modification and some layering.
- Korg ES-1 sampler with drum samples from Boss DR-880 used by Jarre in the album version.
- Korg RADIAS for the FX in the latter part.

Filmed on Canon EOS 5DMkII, I have some sync issues in the end, I hope you don't mind."

Yamaha CS70M, SK30 and Maxi-Korg

Click here for a super size shot. I was trying to figure out what looked different about the Maxi-Korg. I then realized it's simply missing the label like this one.

Update via Adrien in the comments: "this one should be called 800DV (same instrument)
i believe there was also a model called K3?"

Anyone know the history on these - why the different names and any technical differences?

Rare MTI Auto Orchestra. Vintage drum machine synth

via this auction

"Here is a very strange rare drum machine/synth/strings/one man band thing. I believe it is from the 70's. These are pretty hard to find and this one is in great condition. Works great. The bass foot pedals control the notes/key of the song. You can play manual bass melodys or just hit the note so that the whole song changes keys. The other pedal contols the volume, start and stop, and minor, 7th and dimished."

Part 1/3 - Doepfer A100 Modular System / Korg Kaoss Pad 3

YouTube via beckhusen
"Part 1/3 of a 24 min session with my A100 Doepfer Modular System routet through the Korg Kaoss Pad 3.
The 1st part isn't very spectacular, it's more an intro while i generate the main sound.
In the 2nd part i modulate the A100 sound with the Korg Kaoss Pad. That's a lot of fun.
The 3rd part is for those who really like the sound and won't miss the last minutes ;)
The video shows that i'm not a professional in converting videos. Sorry that i can't offer a better image quality because i've taken the record in the night with my most likely ambient atmosphere.
BEST LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES !"

GRENDEL DRONE COMMANDER HAND BUILT ANALOG SYNTH

YouTube via EA78751
"http://ericarcher.net/devic...

Shown with red panel / silver text / natural aluminum knobs.
Filter CV In & Clock Out.
Enclosed in a steel ammunition can with detachable lid."

via this auction

"The Grendel Drone Commander is an incredibly portable and versatile Analog Droning Synth, built by Eric Archer.

'With a total of 9 knobs, the Drone Commander offers two manually-tuned oscillators and two LFOs, plus an unusually colorful and nasty filter. LFO1 is an analog variable-shape oscillator, and LFO2 is a pulse waveform that auto-synchronizes to LFO1 at a ratio of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x. Both LFOs can be routed to the filter for rhythmic patterns. A line-level output jack is provided for connection to amplifiers or effects.
Six of the Drone Commander’s nine knobs double as push-pull switches to control signal routing and waveform selection.
The Drone Commander is housed in a dark green military ammunition case with engraved aluminum control panel. The case is welded steel with an easily removable, rubber gasketed lid. There is almost no plastic in the drone commander! It measures 10″(w) x 7″(h) x 3.5″(d), and weighs about 6 lbs.
The unit is powered by a 9V battery accessible through a slide-out drawer in the side, as well as a 9VDC adapter.'"

Ham Heart Analog Synth Noise Box W/ LFO FM circuit bent

via this auction
follow-up to this post
"This is a handmade Ham Heart, 100% analog synthesizer.

It features 2 squarewave oscillators, with one acting as an frequency modulating LFO.

The main oscillator is triggered by the 3 yellow buttons, each one represents a different frequency range. These buttons allow you to play the device rhythmically or piece together simple melodies.

The LFO has a 2 position frequency range switch, allowing for a great variety of sounds and textures. From slow rhythmic beeps and buzzes up through swarms of mosquitoes. With both the LFO and main oscillator in their highest ranges some really nice glitchy, distressed landing pod chirps and buzzes can be had.

There is also a modulation depth control allowing for subtle pitch modulations and/or complete clangorous metallics.

The controls:
The yellow push buttons trigger and select the frequency range of the main oscillator.
The two large green knobs control the pitch of the main oscillator and LFO.
The small yellow knob on the lower left is the modulation depth control.
The small yellow knob on the upper right is the master volume control.
The green toggle switch is the frequency range selector for the LFO.
The yellow toggle switch selects between fine/coarse frequency modulation.

6.35mm (1/4 inch) audio output
2.1mm 9v DC input (tip -)
On/Off switch
