Analogical tank from the 1978s with which we quickly spend hours on bass sounds, with 2 synchronizable VCOs. Rare with less than 650 copies, there is a grey version OB-1A. 1750 copies in total. The 6-page Oberheim OB-1 manual is typewritten (true, it can be found on the Internet), but it is not really needed in sound design, except perhaps to position the buttons to be able to record a sound on the 8 available memories (which store the positions of 33 potentiometers or buttons, almost all of them), as this cannot be invented. The OB-1 sends heavy, even if its keyboard is very cheap and makes a hell of a noise. In any case, it can be ordered with conventional CV-IN 1 volt per octave. The pinball pitch is huge. It is recommended in the instructions for use to wait 5 minutes for the circuits to be stabilized. This is clearly another way to conceive a sound, with fabulous surprises in the percussive basses, noise, boat engine noises, factory purring. Finally, no need to look for a MIDI interface on the OB-1. Source: vintage stock copy tested, service manual.

Third version of this semi-modular analog synthesizer in rack from Dreadbox.Composed of 3 oscillators, a triple ring, a double LFO filter, two ADSR and a LO-FI echo, this powerful generate a wide range of sound and texture.

Analog paraphonic synthesizer with 2 oscillators, a multimode filter, a drone function, a white noise generator, 3 loopable envelopes and 30 patch points! The 2nd version of the Dreadbox Nyx is a very good analog paraphonic synth with a great amplitude on the settings. The quality of manufacture is there: real wood panels, steel case, very strong and resistant pots.  Without patch, we can find a sound close to ARPs although more versatile thanks to the multimode filter and the 2 mods in addition to the VCA and the LFO. We will also appreciate the drone mode which works perfectly with the cavernous embedded reverb. Patch points are welcome and allow you to take this module off the beaten track. It can also be easily integrated into a modular setup. In short, you can lose hours in sound design by switching from big analog bass to futuristic sounds.

The ORLA Stage Starter Black is an Italian digital piano amplified in stereo for beginner, conservatory or self-taught use, with a high quality 88-key keyboard mechanism weighted with hammer mechanism as on a real acoustic piano. It can also be used as a master or stage keyboard. It features 16 different quality sounds that are easily selected with a combination of keys: Grand Piano (grand piano), Upright Piano (upright piano), Electric Piano (electric piano for modern blues, rock or pop compositions), Harpsi, Slow Strings, Fast Strings, Vocals (hearts), Brass (brass section), Nylon Guitar (classical guitar), Church Organ, Chapel Organ, Jazz Organ, Grand Piano mode mixed with a string layer, Grand Piano mode split with a string layer, electric piano mode split with a string layer, and finally classical guitar mode mixed with a string sound. A USB port allows you to connect it to a computer with the MIDI standard. It has a metronome with click and measure, perfect for piano studies from beginner to intermediate level. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate metronome. It has 2 headphone outputs, 2 pedal inputs, a stereo audio input to listen to the sound of a song, for example with a phone or MP3 player, and play at the same time. Another atypical didactic function: this keyboard allows you to play in TWIN mode with your teacher, at the same pitch. Very useful for courses. It is possible to add 2 sounds in a single layer or to split the keyboard in two with an instrument on the left in the bass and another on the right (split).  A keyboard key is used to select a more or less brilliant sound (Tone Control). Depending on your game and strength, it is possible to choose a sensitivity of 3 levels (Hard, Normal, or Soft). By default, the Piano sound is selected at a normal velocity. A chorus effect and 3 different reverbs are available (Room, Hall, Theatre, Room being the default). Finally, it is possible to transpose (practical in the event of an untimely change of key in a group, especially with brass accompaniment), and to tune differently the famous "LA" of reference. Key combinations are very easily set up because they are written in white on a black background just above the keyboard. So it is not even necessary to open the operating instructions.

The Trax RetroWave desktop monosynth was designed for musicians who want the warmth and power of classic analogue synthesizer sound, created by a real analogue instrument, as opposed to a digital system. It is equally at home on stage, or in the amateur or professional studio. Use it to recreate those classic synth sounds once made by Moogs, Korgs, VCS-3s, ARPs, etc., or make your own unique sound patches that are perfect for today's music. Using the RetroWave is very intuitive - just turn knobs and flip switches to get the sounds you want. Unlike a digital keyboard, you are not stuck with a set of presets to limit your creativity! Keyboard or Computer ControlPlay soaring lead lines and powerful basslines in real time, or use your computer programs and a USB to MIDI converter cable, to achieve stunning, intricate sound patterns. Connect any keyboard or sequencer with a 5-pin DIN MIDI out socket to the R-1's MIDI input socket, and you have an complete analogue synthesizer system for live gigs and recording - no MIDI setup to worry about, just plug in, select a channel and play! You can also use it free-standing to create your own electronic sound effects for TV, video, DJ events, stage plays, etc., or to expand your existing analogue synth system.   PatchingThe RetroWave's comprehensive "pot and switch" patching system lets you to set up sounds without recourse to endless menu screens. This way, you create electronic music from scratch - the way Carlos, Tomita, Jarre, Perrey and all the other pioneers did in the early days of sound synthesis. Inputs and OutputsThe rear panel has inputs for 24V dc power supply, MIDI (via 5-pin DIN socket), gate, VCO CV (control voltage), VCO PWM (pulse width modulation), VCF CV, VCA CV and external audio (all 1/4" jack sockets). Output jacks are also provided for CV, gate +5V, velocity and audio. The jack sockets can also be used in conjunction with the supplied patch lead, for extra interconnections between modules that are not catered for by the internal patching arrangement. Power Supply And AccessoriesThe unit is supplied complete with a universal 24V dc power unit that will work on any mains supply from 100 to 240V ac,. There are three interchangeable plug tops - just attach the plug pin assembly that matches your local power supply socket.   A long 1/4" (6.35mm) mono jack to jack output lead is supplied, for connection to an external audio amplifier.   A short patch lead is also included, for making extra connections between internal sections as described above, or for connecting external effects units. Case and ControlsThe retro-styled steel case has a powder-coated, black and white paint finish. The construction is solid and robust, making the unit ideal for live performance use. The controls and switches are laid out as ergonomically as possible, with plenty of space around the control knobs, making programming rapid and easy. We deliberately avoided putting any sockets on the front panel, to keep the unit neat and uncluttered when in use - let's face it, nobody needs a tangle of patch leads getting in the way when trying to set up sounds! All potentiometers are robust, full-size units, and all switches are good quality toggle type, as opposed to fragile and unreliable slide switches.

The Grandmother is a playground that goes back to the roots of Moog modular synthesizers, in which the goal of synthesis is not only the result but an immersive journey into the world of discovery or experimentation.

A mini version that has nothing to envy to its elder! The design of the MS-20 mini has been supervised by the engineers of the original MS-20, making this synthesizer a complete and authentic replica that will delight lovers of this legendary synthesizer. Every detail of the original model has been reproduced, including the packaging and manual. However, Korg engineers took the opportunity to add non-existent connectors in 1978 with a Midi input and a USB port.

Minlogue + Prologue = XD! The Minilogue is a new generation synthesizer with enormous potential thanks to its analog engine coupled to the Prologue's Multi Engine. While emphasizing the analog sound of the original model, the Minilogue-XD benefits from the Prologue's multiple digital engine, the Multi Engine: effects, sequencer and micro-tuning functionality that enhance the Minilogue- XD's capabilities in both sound design and achievable performance. Four-voice polyphonic analog synthesis.... The Minilogue has had a huge impact in the world of synthesizers thanks to its true analog sound. Hence the idea of integrating this circuit into the Minilogue- XD. In addition to the distinctive circuits of the series (wave shaping to form the oscillator harmonics and a "sync/ring" switch), the latter features cross modulation, a 2-pol type filter and a "drive" switch that adds thickness to the sounds. A versatile synth. Each parameter has been carefully adjusted to meet what musicians expect from their synthesizer. With its structure of 2 VCO + Multi Engine, 1 VCF, 2 EG, 1 VCA and 1 Lfo, the Minilogue-XD deploys typical warm layer sounds, from analogical bass to low fat and lead synth sounds, covering all situations. It comes with 200 presets, and you can store a total of 500 programs. Equipped with a digital Multi Engine engine. The possibilities to design digital sounds are provided by the Multi Engine, a third oscillator in addition to the two analog VCOs. This engine, equipped with three different types of sound generator (noise, VPM and user slot), allows you to enjoy a sound character different from analog or even to be coupled to it, thus infinitely increasing the potential of this hybrid sound design.

A great analog synthesizer. In the world of new generation analog synthesizers, the Prologue undoubtedly overtakes the few polyphonic synthesizers recently released. Its warm and musical filter, the harmonic richness of the sounds it generates and its digital oscillator that can be mixed within the oscillators, are all real novelties offered at a very interesting price.  A programmable hybrid. The digital oscillator merges into the analog processing. Understand that once its waveform is generated, this oscillator is analogically filtered and follows the same path as the two VCOs. It thus brings a real additional color that is not without reminding the additive synthesis of legendary instruments to the famous blue color. To go even further, this digital oscillator is programmable, which makes it possible to increase the sound possibilities of the Prologue tenfold. The famous Blinds oscillators included. The young company Edouard Digital made headlines when the Blinds oscillators for the Korg Prologue were released. Indeed, not only do they bring new waveforms but they also make it possible to generate two different ones in "second layer" and to morph between the two waveforms thus created. An optimized version. The Korg Prologue 16 OSC also benefits from optimizations such as tuning management or full compatibility of programs using Blinds in order to be able to exchange or share its creations. A series limited to France. Let us welcome this French initiative which proposes an instrument with tenfold possibilities at the same price as the standard version.  And you will have understood that this model is exclusively available on the French reseller network. 

An analog that will follow you everywhere. Treat yourself to new musical explorations everywhere and in all circumstances with the Monotron. Equipped with a pocket size, the Monotron operates on batteries and is a powerful and pleasant to use synthesizer thanks to its ribbon controller.
