Noisering Vs. MiniWave


YouTube via kwote
"I built the MiniWave today and installed the Scale Quantizer Rom. This is a demo of that Rom in use. The random voltage is coming out of the Noisering then multed to the pitch of VCO 1 and into the MiniWave which is then sent to the pitch cv of VCO 2."

Yamaha FX1 - VEMIA

via this VEMIA auction

"Ulta-rare Yamaha FX1 Electone organ, COMPLETE with two Yamaha TX1 speakers and all accessories! The FX1 is the top-of-the-line Electone and the rarest instrument in the entire Yamaha DX synthesizer line. There are possibly as few as six of these in the entire world – maybe even fewer. My Yamaha FX1 was played for many years by a professional organist here in Las Vegas. At the age of 82 he finally decided to retire the organ, and it became part of my collection. This organ is complete with pedals, bench, and two Yamaha TX1 320 watt speakers. Also included is the ultra-rare Yamaha MDR-1 Music Disk Recorder, which allows recording and playback of organ sequences and compositions. Here is the complete list of included accessories: · Two TX1 320 Watt Speakers · Bench & Pedals · Original lucite music stand (not pictured, mounts in bench) · Three RP-1 Registration Pack cartridges (including Console Variety Pack 1) · Five Yamaha CFD-1 Compact Floppy Disk, BLANK · Three Yamaha CFD-1 Compact Floppy Disk, WITH MUSIC RECORDINGS · Two rare 11 pin to ¼” adapters, probably for Line Out · Original Yamaha FX1 Manual · Two original MDR1 Manuals · Two original Yamaha FX1 info flyers Is it an organ? Is it a mega-synth? It is FM-based, but it does far more than any DX7. It even features additive drawbars for creating Hammond-esque sounds, reverb, a Leslie effect, fantastic drum machine / sequencer, arpeggiator.. I’m not aware of any polyphony limitations. Many sounds can be layered together to create very thick tones. The FX1 is really, really something. This FX1 is in quite good condition given its 25 years. It is a very large, heavy piece, and has been carefully moved around as it was used professionally. There are marks and scratches here and there, but as you can see in the photos, the organ is really in very good condition. All functions (that I know of!) work and have been tested – I’ve played a lot of great music on this organ. There is one important cosmetic problem with the organ. The Las Vegas sun is intense and probably caused the “melting” of a few buttons. These three buttons all work flawlessly, they are just a bit out of shape. Also, I am not entirely confident that many of the motorized sliders are working properly. I have read that they occasionally need to be cleaned in order to move, but I have never attempted this. These are, to the best of my knowledge, the only functional and cosmetic issues with the organ. It sounds FANTASTIC. The bass is unbelievable, the tones are remarkably realistic. The keyboard is velocity sensitive, and there’s even a knee lever and foot switch for adding modulation, sustain, etc. Shipping: This FX1 is located at my home in Las Vegas. It is, unfortunately, far too large for me to keep, so it is time for me to pass this organ on to a proper collector, organist, or lucky musician. I will not under any circumstances ship this organ! The organ weighs 507 lbs (230kg), the pedals weigh 55 lbs (25kg), and the bench – just the bench! – weighs in at a whopping 154 lbs (70kg). I will work with your shipping or crating company, assisting any way I can, or you’re quite welcome to come and pick the organ up yourself from my Las Vegas home. However, you must be prepared to move this very large, very heavy organ! Please feel free to ask any and all questions about this FX1. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as FX1s are truly rare and simply never show up for sale, so don’t hesitate!

TipTop Audio Z3000 Getting Ready to Ship

via Muff's forum:

"Everything about the VCO is analog, the frequency counter and display is digital. The display can show switch between frequency/note/octave display

the FM response is a lot more dramatic than my Blacet or AFG VCOs

the Sync Modulation feature allows some crazy sounds I can get otherwise as well....

it's super cool

the sine wave sounds AMAZING"

Highly Liquid 2600 through SSM 2044 filters


renamed to Atari 2600 through twin SSM 2044 VCFs
YouTube via stikkasoundsystem
Original description:
"Atari 2600 with Synthcart playing preset Beat loops, modular synth is gating the rhythm. Signal is split in two, one path is ringmodulated, both filters are seperately modulated with Midi controllers and a Doepfer MCV4.

What you hear is the first stage to record audio into Ableton Live, after that everything gets sliced, chopped, warped, mangled and whatnot."

Update to November 8th City Skies 08 event

via Jim on AH:

"Due to a fall and broken bones, Richard Lainhart has had to postpone his City Skies appearance until next year (we'll update you when we finalize the scheduling). We're disappointed we'll have to wait to hear from this incredible performer, but are happy to know Richard is at home and is on the mend. We wish him a quick recovery and look forward to seeing him next Spring.

In his place, several incredible performers have agreed to step in at the last minute and help keep the analog vibe we had planned on Saturday, November 8th at Kavarna in Decatur, GA:

IDM masters Richard Devine and Josh Kay will be performing live together with their huge Custom Doepfer analog modular systems, along with the Yamaha Tenori-On and Jazzmutant Lemur digital controllers. Richard was a highlight of the May City Skies Festival, and he promises to amaze us again.

To keep a Buchla 200e synth on stage this week, Don Hassler will be joining us for a set of wild and wonderful analog madness, also bringing his EMS Synthi and Serge modular synths.

And, as previously planned, Wendy Owens of Collaboration with Sounds from South Carolina will be sharing her wonderful sound-making, and Jim Combs and Klimchak, collectively known as Bribing The Buddha, will open the show with their down-tempo, ambient, 12-fold audio path. Klimchak will be using his Buchla Marimba Lumina.

We advise you to get your tickets prior to the event as Richard Devine and Josh Kay will most certainly draw a big crowd.

More info can be found at http://www.cityskies.com

-Jim"

Richard Lainhart's work has appeared numerous times here on MATRIXSYNTH. Our thoughts are with you Richard, we hope you get better real soon.

Based in England, but sending worldwide. Priced in pounds, so very good for dollar, Euro and yen people right now. Peter Forrest"
