diy synth


YouTube via Vtolus. Update: You can find additional info on SuN SyNtH
"my new diy synth based on voice changer chip. This small box can produce thousands variations of bleeps, noises, feedbacks, ring-mod sounds and drons. It can also process external signal - than it works like ring modulator, digitalizer or pitch shifter. It has 2 body contacts, pitch shifting knob, voltage knob and few switchers. In some mode it can be controlled as thermin, just by moving the hand behind. Also it has expression pedal input, audio in and audio out."

Have fun spotting the synths in this set. I gave up on the labels. :) Note the Power Glove.

Rhodes Chroma Interface Manual

via Chris Ryan on the Rhodes Chroma list.
"The Interface Manual is now available in hypertext format at the site. It documents the computer interface, and includes sections on Command Descriptions, Software and Hardware requirements (along with schematics), and several appendices such as Parameter Information and Command Listing.

This is the 1982 edition that I obtained from the Canadian distributor in the mid-1980s. There was apparently a later revision; David Clarke has sent me some excerpts and I will publish them at a later date, or perhaps update the entire manual (does anyone have a page that might indicate the publication date of a later edition?). The additions appear to be mostly related to the Polaris.

All four major Chroma manuals are now online: Performance, Programming, Service, and Interface. As this is another significant addition to the site, I will consider it a "special summer double issue" and will not publish a new article for August (though I will still post the list archive for July and do other minor updates)."

CME UF 50 And Waldorf Nano: The CME Stands Alone


YouTube via gearwire
"Bill Holland has more than a few screws loose in this video as he opens up the CME UF 50 controller keyboard for some surgery. If the surgery is a success, the implanted Waldorf Nano soundcard will give the CME controller the ability to act as a standalone keyboard.

If the surgery fails, however, Bill's medical license will be revoked, and he'll have to resort to being an actor -- possibly a stand-in for the Blue Man Group.See more on Gearwire.com."

"This is a pic of my recently completed Synthtech MOTM 300 Ultra VCO, made from v2.0 parts instead of a complete kit. It's basically identical, except for a few part choices - I used someone elses Bill of Materials which had some odd parts choices on it."

Unfortunately it looks like this event already happened on April 25. Click here for more info and images. Anyone know if this was a one time thing or a yearly event? There was also an electronic arts festival (BEAF) April 23-26.

BTW, for those of you in the Seattle area, the Decibal Festival 2008 is September 15-28.

genoQs Machines - Launching NEMO!

"Stuttgart, July 1st, 2008

Dear all,
back in March at the Musikmesse 2008 we have presented Nemo, the portable sequencing machine
that delighted many hearts and souls with its unconventional appearance, form factor, and power!

We take big pride in what Nemo has finally become over the past few months, and we hope you will too!
Today, on the 1st of July 2008, we are excited to share with you the great news:

Nemo is here!
Enjoy with us the material now available on our site (www.genoqs.com) describing the new machine:
- the storyboard provides an introduction to the operating model of Nemo.
- the manual describes all features in great detail, while
- the picturebook is a collection of Nemo poses over the last few weeks.

We are much looking forward to your comments, questions and feedback!
Nemo is available for order now, with delivery of pre-ordered and reserved machines starting Moday, July 7th.

Once again, our sincere thank you for the years of commitment, support and dialogue, which is probably the single most important driver that led us to this accomplishment!

Marcel Achim and Gabriel Seher
