Roland PG-200 Programmer for JX-3P, MKS 30 w/ Cable


via this auction

"The PG-200 is a programmer for the JX-3P and the MKS-30. Since those instruments were some of the first from Roland to come out with digital parameter access for editing, as opposed to sliders and knobs, Roland made the PG-200 available. The PG-200 also works with Roland's GR-700 Guitar Synth."

Roland MKS-30 Planet S With M-C16 Cartridge

via this auction

"The MKS-30 has been tested using the PG-200, a MIDI keyboard, and the M-C16, with which it worked flawlessly. This listing includes the Roland MKS-30, one Roland M-C16 memory cartridge, and the hard to find original Roland power cable only."








Roland SH-101 with Case, Mod Grip and Strap

via this auction
"# 32 key, monophonic analog synthesizer.
# One oscillator with 3 simultaneous waveforms, an 'octave-divided' square sub-oscillator, triangle, and square/pwm waveform.
# 100 step sequencer
# Low-pass filter/VCF capable of self oscillation. The self oscillation filter can be used to make fat bass sounds.
# The controls are simple to use as there is a slider or switch available for every single parameter
# External trigger input to control the speed of the sequencer or the arpeggiator.
# The LFO is super fast and can be used to make fast arpeggios with decay down to zero volume, without retriggering the ADSR.
# External control is achieved using CV/Gate
# The popularity of the SH-101 is such that many companies have seen fit to cater to a significant market of musicians who want the sound of the 101 but are not able to pay for one. This has led to a rise in clones—devices designed to emulate the SH-101 for a much cheaper price."

Kawai K5m Synthesizer Module


via this auction

"*The backlight is out, though I have used it as such for years. It will not be readable in the dark, though is fine in a lighted room. Replacement backlights are available on-line, and usually go for about $30 on ebay."

I did a quick search and found this site that sells a number of LCD screen replacements for various synths. I did a search here on MATRIXSYNTH and only found this post on a K5m with a replaced screen.

Andy Wig - EML Signal Hymn 2


YouTube via arthurpainter — June 09, 2010 — "The second in a series of improvs that showcase my EML 200 modular synth as the primary and only sound/modulation/effects source. While I'm certainly not an analogue purist, I do prefer its directness and clarity of approach, not to mention its patch potential and knobs. Nice."

YouTube via rezzn8r — June 09, 2010 — "A Wiard 1209B Joystick and a Blacet 2040 Mixer/Processor modulate the A & B wavetable banks of a Modcan 62B Dual VDO. The 2040 adds Offset and Amount control to the X & Y CV from the joystick. This functionality is built into the Flight of Harmony choices, and Modcan X/Y controllers. The scaled Y signal is also fed to a quantizer, and then the 1V/Oct on the DVDO. The DVDO's Detune is modulated my a Sine LFO."

Happiness (Plogue Bidule + 2 Doepfer Dark Energy + Audacity)


YouTube via GruithuisenCityMan — June 09, 2010 — "Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made with Plogue Bidule sequencing a Doepfer Dark Energy. Another one is played by hand. The sounds of these 2 Doepfer Dark Energy has been reintroducted into Plogue Bidule in order to permit to a long delay to be added. The all thing has been made in one take and has been a bit edited with Audacity (compression and short stereo delay added). Enjoy !"

IK Multimedia SampleTron with Dave Kerzner - With the real deal Mellotron!


YouTube via ikmultimedia — June 09, 2010 — "Sonic Reality CEO Dave Kerzner talks about IK Multimedia SampleTron and the adventures of recording the real deal instruments. Check out the "Smellotron" story and other vintage keyboard Mellotron related equipment in this great video.

For more information: http://www.sampletron.com

SampleTron is a new virtual instrument from IK Multimedia and Sonic Reality that combines the authentic recreation of "Tron" sounds such as Mellotrons, Chamberlins, and Optigans with the powerful SampleTank engine to take those nostalgic sounds into the new millenium. No other product allows you to manipulate, process and stretch such gritty, emotional and quirky lofi sounds like SampleTron. It's a virtual instrument made for many styles from hip hop to electronic to classic rock and offers some of the most unique musically useful tones you can imagine. From the nostalgic sounds used by The Beatles, Moody Blues, Genesis, Yes and other rock bands of the 60's and 70's to the modern production of artists like Kanye West, Smashing Pumpkins and Beck to new sonic creations now possible only with SampleTron, the sounds in this package are diverse, powerful and inspiring!"

MELLOTRONICS M3000 HD - 3 minute guide


YouTube via OmenieSoftware — June 09, 2010 — "Just like the previous 'Strawberry Fields for Ella', I set myself a challenge - can a total non-pianist have a shot at probably the most iconic Mellotron song ever (as opposed to the most iconic Mellotron intro ever!) using just one finger and the M3000's chord pads.

See what you think - the solo isn't quite right, but honestly, you have no idea how many takes I had to do to get it this close. Next time I want to make a video, I am renting me a pianist. And maybe some dancing girls too."

I'm not finding this one on iTunes. If anyone can, feel free to comment.

4ms Shuffling Clock Multiplier

via Big City Music

"The SCM is the perfect counterpart to the 4ms Rotating Clock Divider. Prepare to wield one of the sharpest tools available in the Eurorack format.

While the RCD divides the SCM multiplies and then some. The SCM starts by giving you straight and shuffled multiples of your original clock tempo. An "S" next to a number denotes a shuffled output. The rotate function is also available, allowing you to relocate the divided outputs to other jacks. This can be controlled via modulation sources like an LFO or sequencer track to give you more happy accident rhythms than you handle.

The "Slip" function allows you to drop out pseudo-random clock output pulses. This is done via a control voltage input and could also be sequenced. Paired with the RCD, the SCM will literally run circles around your music. The pulse outputs could trigger envelope generators or open VCA's and low pass gates directly. Incredible variations on a theme can also explode with the use of even a simple sequencer."

Oberheim Two Voice On the Way?

via Unfiltered on the Moog Music Forum:

"Just received an email from Tom Oberheim, he says a new two voice system including keyboard with his new SEM's should be available in fall. Awesome! Next thing you know there will be a new ARP odyssey. It's the 70's again!"

and via gazer:

"The new two voice will have an updated 16 step sequencer that can split and be used as two 8 steps or a 10 step and two steps, or... I asked him if the sequencer would have cv outs to control a third or possibly fourth patch panel SEM While you play the two voices of the synth with the keyboard and he said 'hey that's a good idea.' Tom O rules. I kept this secret for like six months but since the beans are spilled... I can't imagine he'd mind it has been his plan since the beginning and has been fairly open with us SEM owners. The mp201 works as a nice midi to cv converter for a patch panel sem plus then you have two cv outs left for what ever you fancy. Tom is so stoked about the two voice it's awesome. He's really funny. Like a nice grandpa that is super tech smart."

Logos Foundation DIY Synth

via @mono_poly

I took a look at the Logos Foundation website and couldn't find any info. I sent mono poly a message to see if he remembers where he spotted it. Hopefully we will hear back. Until then, do check out the Logos Foundation for other interesting sound projects. BTW, if anyone finds this, and/or has any more info on this one, feel free to comment or shoot me an email - contact info on the bottom right of the site.

It definitely does have an EMS Synthi feel to it.

Update via metasonix in the comments: Deviant Synth tracked down some info here, complete with links to the nudist bits. For the archives, the synth was made by the founder of the Logos Foundation, Godfried-Willem RAES and is based on Texas Instruments gambling and arcade audio chips. Via this page on the synth: "To make the instrument I started of by using chips originally designed for gambling-machines and the sound subsystem of video arcade games. Looking through the specs and data-sheets provided by Texas Instruments, it became immediately clear to me that this chip contained virtually anything one would find in a large and very expensive analog synthesizer. Moreover, it came out that it even was ahead of the available technology on the synthesizer market of that time: it had a fully digital mixer/patcher section!

Adding a few more chips, gave me the possibility of playing live-music on it as well as of programming it as a sequencer. The 'Synthelog' was born: the smallest one measuring only 10cm x 25cm x 6 cm and costing only about 20 dollars...

As an instrument it contains 3 VCO's, 1 noise generator, 1 sequencer, digital mixer/patcher, ringmodulator, 1 VCA, 1 ADSR-generator."

Synth Babes label for the click through on Deviant Synth, not for Godfried-Willem RAES. Note Deviant Synth is technically safe for work, depending on how you look at it, but the male and female anatomy click through is not. Update: I heard back from mono-poly. He found out about it searching for stuff from Godfried-Willem RAES who is also a composer. He also sent in this Wikipedia link with more info on him.
