Sundays choral mass
YouTube via attorks — June 13, 2010 — "Ableton Live together with the Novation Launchpad is used for piece of music. This time no Modular was used. The three chord progressions using the Creamware MiniMax ASB in polyphonic mode forms the basis. After that 3 rhythmic tracks were added using instruments and sounds from Live. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. Several takes where recorded and canceled before this one was approved because initially I wanted to use the arpeggiator from the Waldorf Q Keyboard to accompany the music but somehow that did not work. So the Waldorf Q does some Waldorf sounds. The Mellotron choir sound comes from the Roland XP-80. The music reminds me of church music, hence the title."

"Alternate tuning using a Q172 Quantizer Aid module from Synthesizers.com. The melody line played is through Lil' Miss Scale Oven (LMSO) from Red Barn Goat Farm into an Access Virus TI synthesizer. The three variations on the tuning are loaded into the Quantizer Aid module using midi from an instance of LMSO."
SVSynthesis Synth Repair
via SVSynthesis:"I am a "new" synth repair/restoration/modification guy located in the Bay Area... I recently started a blog about stuff that comes through my shop, and I thought you might like to check it out. I take extensive pictures of the process I go through with each piece of gear, and post them up on my site, and I include sound files of the instruments when I have finished with the repairs."

-two "OBX Factory Patches" cassettes dated to 10/80 and 12/79
-a stack of paperwork:1979 OBX manual, 1981 OBXa manual, documentation of the mods, service receipts, and a stack of schematics/repair documents
It has some mods/upgrades that were professionally installed long ago (back when they were new and state of the art):
-JL Cooper Patch 96 memory upgrade (all patches work, some are factory, some are not)
-the "release" control for the amplifier's ADSR has been changed to a "program volume" control, giving the ability to balance different program volumes to each otherUnit has all eight voices installed!"

Vintage EMS Synthi A
via this auction"Serviced by EMS/Robin Wood last year. Only mod done was osc. stabilization. One osc pot/dial was needing changing. I have the original that comes with sale. Robin takes his time with these, takes about 6 months to a year waiting to get serviced. He does amazing work, plays as well as any anaolg of its caliber should play. Independent waveforms on osc 1-2... This one is so clean that Robin was taken aback by it and photographed it for his records. Not only that but it's the 33rd Synthi A ever made placing it around 1970. It has the internal metal backing that only the first
ones had. And the best of the joysticks."

Radias 1984
YouTube via Rothgar777 — June 13, 2010 — "'1984' on a Korg Radias. I've always liked the sound of the Oberheim, OB-8 & OBXa and thought I'd give it a go on the Radias. This cover uses 3 custom patches to emulate the OBXa (the best I can :p, I've only had the Radias for 2 days now and still learning about it, its a deep synth). I needed both hands to play it, and without a tripod for the camera, I couldn't shoot the video while playing. If you want to learn how to play the song, there are how-to videos on youtube for 1984."

Techno in 6 sounds using nanoloop
YouTube via darenager — June 13, 2010 — "Nanoloop is an app for the iphone/ipad, it is a 6 part sequencer with sounds synthesized using FM, noise, pulse or sample. You can find out more about it by visiting www.nanoloop.com
This is my first attempt at using it for a track, it is quite easy to use and very minimal but quite interesting and a lot of fun. If you have an ipod touch, iphone or ipad and enjoy making music it is well worth checking out."

Ostracon Video
Ostracon Video from Unearthed Music on Vimeo.
"Shot by Ai student Josh Clos. Recorded and mixed at Ai Minnesota by John Keston and Graham O'Brien.
Ostracon is John Keston on electronics and Graham O'Brien on drums. The duo performs generative, improvisational compositions using John Keston's custom software, the GMS (Gestural Music Sequencer), that converts video input into musical phrases. Keston captures, layers, loops and processes melodic segments in real-time out of the stream of notes created by his gestural input, tailored with probability distribution algorithms. O'Brien accompanies these angular, electronic structures, with dynamic playing that, at times, verges on the chaotic."

Roland TR-909 w/ Modded Bass Drum
via this auction"The bass drum has been modded with the Colin Fraser mods which include the following:
EXISTING CONTROLS:
Tune – Extended control over the decay time of the falling pitch envelope.
Decay – Extended control over the length of the bass drum allowing TR-808 like booming kicks.
NEW CONTROLS:
Pitch – Controls the frequency of the bass drum oscillator.
Drive – Allows waveform adjust from normal to square, for hard clipped sounds.
Tune Depth – Varies the amount of initial pitch sweep (decay set by Tune control)."There's an audio demo at the auction while up.
VINTAGE KORG MS-04 SYNTHESIZER PITCH/MODULATION PEDAL
via this auction"The MS-04 was made to provide extra pitch bending and modulation sources to their MS line of synthesizers. You just patched the pedal into those synths and it greatly enhanced their options.
But you can use it on any CV controllable synthesizer (with attenuation.) It's main home was my Octave Cat SRM but I've used it with my Roland SH-09 as well. A cool thing too is that you can use the square wave to trigger events or as a clock for CV sequencers. Why would I do that? Well as I said at one point I didn't have the modular I do now. Waves on the LFO are square, triangle, random and the ultra-cool Glissando. Keep the glissando low for staircase effect, crank it up to thicken your sound and add some life to it.
You can send the signal to two options at once. Like your VCF and VCO. Using either the x1 or the x4 depending on the range. And you can select for each output LFO, BENDER or my fave LFO+BENDER."You can find the manual here.
Roland SH-7
via this auction
"Roland SH-7 - Roland's flagship monosynth. Mid range serial number with first revision oscillators and keyboard circuitry. The original silver/black rotary controls have all been replaced with high quality collet knobs. Note the 'one note - two note' switch that allows the SH-7 to be used duophonically. The original rotary knobs were designed to fit 6mm knurled shafts and the new rotary switches I fitted have a much smaller 1/8" shaft so new knobs had to found. These new knobs are aesthetically pleasing and have a good grip. The original smaller white slider caps on the five footage sliders have also been replaced with new Technology Transplant clones of the wider caps used in the rest of the instrument. A close up of the twin VCO section showing the new knobs and the state of the front panel. Some paint has been chipped off in places. The rear panel of the SH-7 showing the ample CV/gate and audio I/O. Twin ADSRs and a good collection of filter modulation inputs make this an excellent monosynth."Rob Hordijk demonstrating his 5u modules
YouTube via jenamu6 — June 13, 2010 — "Dutch modular synth designer, Rob Hordijk is demonstrating some of his new modules in 5u format, at the mono-poly studio.
He's using one of his VCO's with builtin VCA and a envelope generator.
