This video, Telemark Machinedrum, demos the semi-modular Analogue Solutions Telemark Synthesizer.

The Telemark is a rack mount version of Analogue Solutions’ Semblance monosynth, with the addition of signal patch points. It will run from MIDI or can be sequenced the analogue way.

UK price is £599 exc. tax and VAT.

Here’s the incredible sounding Analogue Solutions semi-modular Telemark. It’s based on the Oberheim SEM but it definitely has the signature ASol gnarly factor.

The Telemark opens the SEMblance model to have patch points, allowing you to integrate it with other synth gear easily. You can process external sounds with the Telemark too. It has a great sounding filter with low, high and an extensive bandpass mode

For this demo, we’re using the low pass mode only. Sequencing and drum sounds courtesy of the Elektron Machinedrum.

This is a demo of the Steelphon S900 synthesizer, a rare Italian monosynthesizer from the early seventies. If you have any info on the Steelphon S900 synth, leave a comment!

The Yamaha CS-05 is a single oscillator monophonic synthesizer, released in 1979, that has been described as “an unremarkable synth”:

It was a one oscillator job with a single ADSR envelope that controlled both the filter and the final amplifier. A simple LFO was provided for modulation and it also had a noise generator for sound effects.

Its saving grace was the multi-mode filter that offered low, band and high pass options which was unusual on a budget synth of the time.

Features:

• 1 VCO with pulse or sawtooth waveforms and noise-gen
• LFO with sine, sawtooth, sample and hold
• 12dB/oct High pass or Low pass; 6dB/oct band-pass
