RetroSounds gives a nice tour on the Oberheim
vintage synth demo N°200 by RetroSound
Here is my absolute favourite Analog Synthesizer ever:
Oberheim OB-X 8-Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer from the year 1979.
The SEM based OB-X is very different to the later Curtis Chip based OB-Xa. The Sound is fantastic raw and unique.
My dream synth!The synth demo shows some self-made retro-sounds.

Telemark and the Oberkorn sequencer
Analogue Solutions continues to treat us with nice demos, here’s one on how to connect a Tele-Mark Semi-modular synth to the sequencer:
HOW TO: Connect an Analogue Solutions Telemark Semi-Modular synthesizer (www.analoguesolutions.com) to an AS Oberkorn Analogue Sequencer.
This video covers basic connections from the Oberkorn sequencer to the Telemark synth (connecting: pitch x 2, filter, and EG/Trigger).
Another great feature of the Telemark is the integrated MIDI control, which can be used to transpose live sequences as they play back from the Oberkorn (shown in the video). This means that you can sequence the transposition via MIDI in your DAW of choice – control those analogue basslines!
Synths in video: Telemark, Station X/Y, TBX-303 [Analogue Solutions]
Sequencing the TBX-303: AS Europa
*Simple drum pattern provided by a Machinedrum.
Exploring the Pro-12
Ran Kirlian is messing with parameters on the Use-Audio Plugiator & Pro-12 plugin while running a sequence from Sonar. Delay effect comes from Pro-12, too. The Pro-12 is the first polyphonic and programmable synth to become popular also became an instant legend. The Pro-12 has all of its smooth analog sound and plenty of presets which were heard everywhere throughout the 80ies…
Exploring and tweaking some presets on the Use-Audio Plugiator & Pro-12 plugin while running a sequence from Sonar. Delay effect comes from Pro-12 too but additional reverb comes from DAW.
Having some fun creating noises, dark textures and weird sounds with Use-Audio Plugiator & Pro-12 plugin. Delay effect comes from Pro-12 too but additional reverb comes from DAW.
Strange sounds from Little Phatty
Here are some weird sounds from the Little Phatty being controlled by the CP-251.

APC20 vs Launchpad
The DSP project has released yet another nice demo featuring the APC20 and the Novation Launchpad
In response to the popular Novation Launchpad Akai have released the APC20 weighing in at the same price point but with faders clearly the APC20 is going to have the advantage right?
Remember kids this is your last chance to win the KJ Sawka sample pack so check out thedspproject.com/samples to enter!
The APC20 explained:
Both n4Sphere & Algorhythmik wanted to know about how I setup last weeks APC20 demo set so thats exactly what im going to do. An explanation of my fx rack, midi mappings and suggestions to improve this setup to take it further.
I forgot to mention in this video I had a HP filter on the master channel mapped to the 4th fader for the demo too.
Also note that entrys to win the KJ Sawka sample pack have been few so you still a good chance to win it, check out thedspproject.com/samples for details.
Speak & Spell
The artist Richard Devine makes his modular synthesizer speak in an alien tongue, with the help of the The Harvestman’s Piston Honda Oscillator.
Checking out some new Roms for the Piston Honda tonight. Making the Piston Honda sound like a broken Speak & Spell.

Exploring the Telemark synth
Analogue Solutions is provising us with yet another nice demo, this time of the Telemark synth, enjoy
Here is a demo of the Analogue Solutions Telemark synth [www.analoguesolutions.com]. All sounds in the featured song (including drums) were created on the Telemark. The synth is connected to the DAW via MIDI, and each sound was recorded on its own track individually. Most of the sounds in the demo were synthesized without the use of patch cables, however a couple sounds were patched on the fly to add interest.
Nice demo from Analogue Solutions
Here’s a video demonstrating the Analogue Solutions Europa hardware MIDI sequencer [www.analoguesolutions.com] in action, re-creating a classic beat (Depeche Mode’s People are People).
The beat was created using Europa’s Internal mode (not synced to MIDI clock or using outside sequencers). An Ensoniq ASR-10 was providing the drum samples in this case.
The Europa was also used to sequence the AS Telemark synthesizer at the end of the video and uses the Europa’s velocity controls (per step key) to control the Telemark’s filter (velocity to filter).
At the end of the vid, Europa is put into External clock mode and synced to MIDI clock (DAW sequencer). At this point, Europa will start/stop when the computer sequencer starts/stops. Europa also is sending sync to the AS Oberkorn MK3 sequencer, which is controlling the SE ObieRack.
