The Trollogy: A Tale in Several Parts

via appliancide:
"These tracks should be listened to loud in a dark room. Parts 1 and 2 are just modular synth being tweaked as it plays with no overdubs. Part 3 is a mix of some old unfinished stuff remixed for the Trollogy concept. The creepy main hook was done with an old version of Reaktor and rest is manipulated samples."

click here for the tracks.

"5 Buchla 100 serie vco's.
Enevelope generators and vca's and gates are from other brands.
But these are in the modulation path only.
The modulated vco is processed trough external eq + fx and limiting.
It is one vco being modulated by 4 others.
And in the modulation path are some wiard borgs / plan-b trimnbal gates.
Driven by envelope generators / sequencers / sample n holds.
With external fx."

Anyone know more about this one? SYNLAB?

Update: some audio on KlangBureau (look for Synlab FM bits). Some notes via the AH archives:

“Again from the nord modular list, this might be of interest to everyone. Pics of the synlab and closeups of some modules can be found here. Looks like a nice copy of the arp 2500 design with many more types of modules and more features per module. Very impressive indeed! And from what i've read, it fills an entire room and it cost about 350,000 to build back in the day.”

“SYNLAB - big-as-a-house modular. Rare as hen's teeth. 'Probably the most impressive synthesiser ever made'”

"just read the book again [A-Z of Analogue Synths] and it wasn't that studio at
all but the ICEM computer music institute in Essen. Also, the name of the synth was SYNLAB."

Update: be sure to check out the comments of this post for more info and links.

"Nanoloop on a Gameboy (whose audio is coming in on track 2) is synchronised to the drums playing in Ableton (track 1). This is to test out a new interface I have been working on that syncs Nanoloop to a MIDI clock."

Alesis Metavox: DJ Puzzle's Secret Revealed


YouTube via gearwire
"Jason Donnelly aka DJ Puzzle expects you to believe that the robotic voices you'll hear in this video are a result of a supposed vocoder called the Alesis Metavox. His claims that you can switch between saw waves, square waves, triangular waves and more might seem feasible, but can we really risk the possibility that Donnelly is using the Metavox to cover up the fact that he is a robot sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor? See more on gearwire.com."

Sounds vom Synthesizer

via swissdoc:
"'Sounds vom Synthesizer' was a radio show from the German station HR3 (Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt). It was aired every two weeks from January 1983 to December 1986. The show was moderated first by Volkmar Krammarz and later by Rainer Sauer.

The show presented music made with synthesizers, run interviews with artists in the studio in Frankfurt (i.e. Propaganda, Klaus Schulze, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Howard Jones, Michael Rother, Ash Ra Tempel, Kraftwerk, Art of Noise or Spliff to name a few).

In addition specials like the regular series 'Per Anhalter durch die Synthesizergeschichte' (The Hitchhiker's Guide to Synth History), 'We are Producers' or the 'Electronic Poll' (Reader Poll) have been part of the show.

Even synth tests or reports from Musikmesse FFM have been sent in the later shows, Equipment rangin from Kurzweil K250 to sampler cards for C64 or Apple ][.

Rainer Sauer is working these days for Radio Jena, where the old series is aired again every Saturday. Under the name 'Synthesizer Studio' it is available as a online stream from Webradio ZONO.

http://www.mynewradio.de/html/programm.html

Shows are sent in random order every night in the time from 00:00 to 04:00 MESZ (MESZ = UTC + 2h). Times are indicative, the timing is not really strict. There may be up to 3 shows during one night, but in some cases no show is sent.

The streaming URL (128 kbit mp3) is http://zono01.host01-he.comc.name:8000 [Open this one in a streaming player like Winamp AND read this full post for when to listen].

Later Rainer Sauer was organising from 1986 till 1989 the Frankfurter Synthesizertage titled 'White Waves', recording of live concerts are aired via Webradio ZONO as well under the same streaming URL later.
