What piece of kit would you save? Me? The Oberheim Matrix-6. It was my first.

Treating an entire instrumental mix through the MOTM 410 filter


YouTube via RothHandle
"These last couple of weeks have been slightly dry when it comes to new films but I have been keeping myself busy trying to finish the new Antkowiak album.Kryz Antkowaiak is a very well known polish artist and this is his third solo album. So far I have mixed six tracks out of ten so I am feeling fairly positive and pleased.

These short smippets were filmed at my Studio in Stockholm. The studio started out like a very modest home studio in the late 90s. Since then it has grown bit by bit. If you are curious about the studio please stroll by www.roth-handle.nu for more info about instruments, bookings and music. I am also on Myspace...just search fopr Molesome and I will be there like an old Motown track..."

Even more modular sequences with utopian influences

"Draft version 2.0

Drew many little versions of a buchla before doing this version. Problem is that it still doesn't look quite right. Need to sketch more. Keeping the rounded corners (for the cuddly effect).

The original can be found here.

Alessandro Cortini circa 2009 and Buchla 200e."

"POLITREP customized Keytar Solo, John Petrucci Cover by Matrix, S4K user"
No the Matrix referred is not me. It's this matrix obviously influenced by the movie.
That out of the way, anyone know more about that keytar?

stickers, paint or other?

Korg MicroKORG

via this auction. I almost put this one on MATRIXSYNTH-B
It's interesting to see this synth in time. The perspective now is obviously different than when it first came out, like the Trinity further below. I'm curious how these synths will age in time. The MicroKORG kind of reminds me of the DX7 of our time. It didn't really bring anything new aside from maybe it's compact package, but you see them everywhere. Compact and affordable does mean something...
I wonder how many of these sold.

relay organ


YouTube via ffoitl
"a musical instrument inspired by elisha gray's "musical telgraph" one of the first electric/electronic musical instruments ever.
it's basically a relay oscillator than be "tuned" to various frequencies via midi controlled capacitors.
in the video i use a tenori-on as a midi sequencer. the video of the tenori-on is not totally in sync with the rest of the video but you should get an idea.
the sound is recorded with a self-built piezo contact mic and a coil taken from a solenoid."

My studio - 1981

flickr by Chris_Carter_ where you'll find a description of the studio. Be sure to click on the All Sizes link when you get there for the full size shot. This is also Chris Carter's MySpace page. Note the Gristleizer.

The synths:
"The modular system on the right consists of three Roland 190 racks and two 191J racks containing: two 182 Step Sequencers, 121 Dual VCF, 130 Dual VCA, 112 Dual VCO, 150 Ring Mod/Noise/S&H/LFO, 110 VCO/VCF/VCA, 172 Audio Delay/Phaser/LFO/Gate Delay.
Also included in the Roland racks were a number of my own self-built modules, including a: Digisound Dual VCO, Digisound Dual VCF, Digisound Dual VCA, Digisound Dual ADSR, Digisound Dual RM, Blacet variable clock/divider, a Gristleizer module and (in the top rack) a flanger/delay and a dual phaser/flanger/delay.
Under the modular system is a Boss DR-55 Dr. Rhythm (sitting on top of) a Roland CSQ-600 Digital Sequencer, a Roland TR-808 (one of the first in the UK I might add), a Sinclair frequency meter (for tuning) and a Roland 181 Controller Keyboard."

sent my way via Benge. BTW, do check out this post on Benge's Twenty Systems as well. The CD is a tribute to synths and comes with a very nice CD book on the synth used for each track. The CD received praise from Brian Eno.
