"As vintage synth dealers we get to play with a lot of fun toys most people never see. Here's a patch we quickly set up on an ARP 2500 while preparing it for sale. This was inspired by the Giorgio Moroder / Donna Summer "I Feel Love" bassline. Yeah, we could have synced up another sequencer to automatically transpose the pattern, but ya get what ya pay for, ok?! ;) To the usual critics - this was not made to impress you, it was quickly thrown together to give people an idea of a small fraction of sounds someone with an understanding of programming can get out of the ARP. We also feel it's important to point out that it's not the modular synth that makes the sound - it's the person who programs it. So your results may vary. One of these days we're going to show you the kinds of sounds you can get out of a "lowly" Paia when you know what you're doing. ;) Email us anytime at minime123@onebox.com
Enjoy!

Anatek Wind Machine

via this auction. This went for 280 Euros.

"Wind Machine

Wind Machine and your BC 1 or BC2 Breath Controller (not provided) add expressive power to your keyboard performance. Brass patches can punctuate or pad according to your whim, not to some pre-programmed attack setting. Your sax solos will turn heads with their authenticity. And layered string sounds can fade in precisely where they're needed while your hands and feet are free to control wheels and pedals.
Compatible with everything. Wind Machine interfaces to Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Ensoniq and the rest! No longer are you forced to use your breath controller with only one brand of MIDI synth. Any MIDI keyboard that will respond to MIDI Volume, Aftertouch,W Modulation, Breath Control, Pitch Bend, Expression, Foot Controller, or Pan can be controlled by Wind Machine.

It's a natural. Blowing into a mouthpiece is the most natural way to enhance keyboard performance. Wind instruments have been designed around this principle for centuries.
Alone, keyboard Aftertouch isn't as effective because when you release the keys, the
effect goes away. Modulation and Pitch wheels alone aren't as effective because they $ don't allow you to play chords. But when combined with Wind Machine, all of these
can be used to create vastly improved expression capability.

Easy Hookup
A flexible input/output configuration means ·· ·nd Machine can fit seamlessly into any setup. The si·lest way is to use it to send eontrol signals to the MIDI input j ack of a keyboard synthesizer. If the Mn·I setup involves a master keyboard and external modules, W· Machine can combine incoming signals from the master w· it's control signals and then pass them on to a se·encer or sound modules.

Wind Machine can transmit the most popular control parameters to keep it simple. Most MIDI keyboards respond to Modulation. Aftertouch or Volume so you won't have any problem finding one compatible with your synth. Any one of the 1 6 MIDI channels can be selected as well."

How to Boost a Kick

via translucencecs in this VSE thread:

"The way to do it is to EQ your kicks with very little sub. It gets lost because it's inaudible.

The way to make a kick drum really SPANK in a mix is to kill the lowest sub completely, boost low audibles and some high frequencies. For use on the ES-1, try EQ-ing your favourite kick sound before sampling it or copying it to a memory card and on to the ES.

For a quick and easy example, using a 10-band graphic EQ (it approximates to something that a lot of people have), try the following values:

30Hz - as low as the value can go (I use a setting of -36dB)
60Hz - boost by 1-2dB
125Hz - boost by 2-4dB
250Hz - boost by 2-4dB
500Hz - cut back - I use a setting of -3dB
1kHz - cut further back - I use about -5dB
2kHz - boost by 3-5dB
4kHz - boost by 4-6dB
8kHz - boost by 6-8dB
16kHz - leave at 0dB

You'll need to approximate these for other numbers of bands, or parametric EQs, etc. If it helps, draw a curve on raph paper to see what this shape looks like, then apply that shape to your EQ module/unit/software/plugin.

Also, you may find that the boost a 4kHz drowns vocals out, so you may want to tweak that band down a little.

BTW - these may sound like weird values to use, but seriously, TRY it!"
