Alesis Andromeda (soundscape)


YouTube via GCom67
"All background sound was programmed on the Alesis Andromeda Analog Synth by GCOM"

Klee Sequencer: 3 32 Step Sequences Controlling 5 Voices


YouTube via ScottStites
"The Klee is generating a 32 step pattern because it is set to invert the 16 bit pattern each time it passes through. Each voltage output is unique, so there are three thirty step sequences. Each output controls a synth voice, plus two drum voices are driven from the gate bus."

Ear crasher

"'Ear crasher' noise machine was made using HT-8950 voice changer chip. Like my Lo-Fizer and Noise guitar it can produce noises by itself or process sounds like a lo-fi ring modulator, 8-bit pitch shifter and simple guitar synth/digital fuzz. I've also added two body contacts that change pitch or trigger sounds."

AS220 Labs - 555 Noise Kit


YouTube via BrianWilliamGreen
"This is a video for the AS22 Labs 555NOISE KIT that i picked up from my trip to providence i built it when i got home from the holiday its a fairly easy and fun kit to build, they have step by step instructions on their site but if you look at the board its all layed out really well so you can do it without instructions.

AS220 Labs is a teaching space and community workspace for open hardware and software projects. It is located in Providence, Ri.

If you want to know more about AS220 Head over to their site at http://www.as220.org/about/front.html"

Pointless Noodling on the Moog Opus3


YouTube via mee3d

"More noodling, this time on the opus 3 combi-organ/synth from Moog. Many years ago on the moogmusic forum I was asked to put up some examples of the Opus but never got round to it so here is a little video instead. This particular unit was recently sold on ebay and was my third opus3 over the 25 years that I have been mucking around with synths. Highly underrated for a moog synth... one of my favourite moogs along with the Model D, Multimoog, Source, Polymoog and memorymoog."

Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue Double analog synth

via this auction
"very rare (only five produced!) Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue, combining two Little Boy Blue synthesizers, along with white noise/dark noise generators, and a Mysterious Reactor chaos circuit. The synth has four sawtooth oscillators, the noise generators, two envelope followers, the Mysterious Reactor circuit, and two preamp inputs. The synth can run stand-alone or you can use it to process external audio via two 1/4" inputs. Unlike most modern analog synthesizers, the oscillators are transistor-based, no chips, for extra analog goodness.

More info can be found here."

TECHNICS SX K 700


via this auction

"Heavy duty steel chassis, pcm technology, with efects, drums, 128 patches, aftertouch (a must have), and built in sequencer. Not at all bad for 1985"

I'm guessing there's no extensive synth editing on this one. If anyone knows, feel free to comment or let me know. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site. Note Technics actually did create a couple of full blown synthesizers, the WSA1 and the SY-1010. You can find both in the archives via the Technics label below.

Update via MiK in the comments: "Just added the repair photos to my page about this thing - which is still quite imcomplete."

"This video demonstrates using TouchOSC, OSCulator, Ableton Live and AudioDamage's BigSeq plugin. TouchOSC is an interactive control surface that outputs OSC messages, which can then be converted to MIDI notes and CC data by OSCulator and other programs.

In this video, check out how much fun it is to control BigSeq with TouchOSC!

Technical Information:

Screen recording was done with iShowU HD. This is my first time using it, and I'm quite pleased so far.

shinywhitebox.com/ishowuhd/main.html

The audio recording during the screen recording wasn't so good because I was using the MacBook's built-in mic. Attempts to get my external Firewire audio interface routed into iShowU HD through Soundflower were unsuccessful at first, but I'll make sure I get that working for future videos.

The iPod Touch was recorded with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 camera."

Arduino 4 step sequencer (worst looking sequencer ever!!!!!)


YouTube via mancio1
"card board box sequenxer.
Made with an Arduino Diecimila and 4 pots.... I need an analog mux to expand it to 8 steps plus speed!
Really fun to play with arduino. I'm going to make a cheap 8 step seq to play with my modular stuff. The seq is midi but i have some D/A to make it V/oct and multi output.
Enjoy the video!!"

GorF Schematics

via Paul Maddox on the SDIY list:

"Ladies and Gents,

I've uploaded the schematics for GorF, and explained some of the extra bits on there ;-
http://blog.vacoloco.com/?p=125

I've also designed and ordered a prototype PCB for GorF ;-
http://blog.vacoloco.com/?p=122

As much as I like Eagle, I find the the 100mm by 80mm board size limit really annoying. And yes there's the "non profit" version which gives 160mm by 100mm and whilst that would be fine for GorF the other projects I'm working on require a board length of around 240mm by 100mm. and I certainly can't afford the 1200UKP for the full version of the software. It's a crying shame there's nothing in between the 160mm and 'anysize' limits, in terms of cost (The standard version only offers 160mm by 100mm board size limit).

So this board is a little on the 'cramped' side of life. Can anyone recommend any other PCB tools that aren't silly money or have silly board size limits?

Paul"

Roland SH-2 Demo

via sizzlemeister:
"Not too many SH-2 demos out there, so here's something I made using the SH-2 for all of the sounds including drums.

shhhh_192.mp3

The usual effects apply, like compression, reverb, delay. Most of the latter are free plugs, except some of the delay which is an AD202."

Furthermore, there is a column about what times than custom-made for the PPG system has been manufactured.

Ian Mason - Gotta Lotta Love (1978)


YouTube via nzoz1978. sent my way via Ian. Spot the synths.
"Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1978:

Ian Mason's promo-video for the single 'Gotta Lotta Love' taken from the 1978 album 'Nobody Takes Me Seriously'.

This track was produced by John Farrar; most famous for writing hits for Olivia Newtown-John.

Ian Mason:

Ian Mason began playing in bands as a teenager, during the 1960's. His own band Mason's Cure (later known as 'Stylus) made a name for themselves in Australia as a live act.

Ian Mason also became an in-demand Jingle composer during the '70's. He composed many memorable advertising Jingles for radio and television. One of his most remarkable pieces was a 1978 Jingle he did for Melbourne radio station 3XY. The jingle was 'I Can Feel It' and was performed by the 3XY Supergroup Party which featured 300 of Australia's finest performers and musicians (found on NZOZ1978 under the title '3XY Supergroup Party - 3XY Radio Promo (1978').

During the early 1980's, he bought a-state-of-the-art recording studio called 'The Music Farm', which was used by many famous Australian and international musicians; including Australian Crawl, Mi-Sex, Moving Pictures, Tim Finn, Redgum, Goanna
Band, Divinyls, INXS, Jimmy Barnes and Midnight Oil. He has worked and traveled overseas - playing with Stevie Wonder, Toto and many others.

Ian Mason remains an in-demand musician and is greatly respected by his peers and the music industry.

Ian is now working as a composer of film and television and is currently producing his first Feature Film!
