Day 136 / How To Patch: Tomita-Style Bells


Day 136 / How To Patch: Tomita-Style Bells from Charlie Visnic on Vimeo.

"This is a modular synth patch video that I did for my creative thing a day blog at: theb-roll.com

It's from a patch I wrote down in my composition book a long time ago. It's a pretty realistic bell sound but I patch it to sound similar to those falling bell sounds that you can hear on Isao Tomita's Debussy album.

Yes, I am a nerd.

I hope you like it."

More details here.

And I think it's time for some vintage Isao Tomita on Moog. BTW, I couldn't find any good examples of the bell patch although I know I've heard it before. If anyone knows of any good examples from Isao on YouTube let me know.

Sydney Fringe Festival and Under the Blue Moon Events

"You’ve never seen the Enmore Theatre like this – Sydney Fringe Festival Event

Electro aficionados & vintage synth geeks get a taste of the real thing, live without a laptop in sight.

Long time collectors of analogue equipment Steve Jones and Ryan Spinoglio have teamed up with Carolyn Shine to re-create some of electronic music’s classics under the moniker ‘Studio Serpentine’ on stage at the Enmore Theatre on September 11 2010.

Some of electronic music’s most innovative scores like Vangelis’ Blade Runner and Delia Derbyshire’s Dr Who theme will oscillate between electro-pop classics like Fade to Grey by Visage and Studio Serpentine’s own music.

Priceless pieces of analogue studio heaven will be assembled to showcase the trio’s beloved equipment and give the audience an opportunity to experience electronica history live.

Yamaha CS-80, Prophet 5s, Jupiter 8s, PPG Wave 2, Space echos, and practically the entire back catalogue of Roland drum machines, a vintage Korg Vocoder and the legendary MS-20 will be stacked up with a couple of ARP Odyssey MKIIs, a Space Modular and a Theremin among other things. If that all sounds like another language - it kinda is.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the evolving language of electronic music from its classic origins.

Steve Jones is a prominent recording engineer and keyboard programmer who has worked on many platinum award-winning albums in Australia. He has worked as a keyboard technician for touring artists Kylie Minogue, INXS and Burt Bacharach and is by all regards, a certified synth geek.

Ryan Spinoglio is a musician and avid vintage synth collector, bordering on compulsive. His tracks, under alias, have been released through Ear Pimp and Clan Analogue and you can find him at http://www.myspace.com/electrofetish

Carolyn Shine is a composer, keyboardist and performer. Her recently released single Monsoon Rain featuring Chris Ball that was featured on ABC’s Australian Story is out now on iTunes.

The trio will perform as part of the annual Lunarmorph parade, a celebration of alternative creativity and fashion.

In partnership with the Sydney Fringe Festival the annual Under the Blue Moon Festival, Lunarmorph will be held at the iconic Enmore Theatre in Newtown on Saturday September 11.

Tickets are available through Ticketek and Enmore Theatre.

"Barbie Girl" - on Roland SH-2000


YouTube via organfairy | July 21, 2010

"I don't know what is most disturbing: This version of the well known Aqua hit or the fact that I actually own a Barbie.

Anyway, this time I have experimented with some alternative light. I used one of those pinspots that has a rotating colored disc in front of the bulb.
I played the melody on the SH-2000 synthesizer and used the Technics organ for the rest of the arrangement."

And the original:

Anyone ID what's to the left of the Moog modular (Moog's right) in this pic? Polyfusion?

Update: consensus says it's a CMS modular.

YouTube via suitandtieguy | July 20, 2010

"Cory Flanigan, Minister of Percussion for STG Soundlabs, plays one of the pieces he's composed for the solo album he's currently recording.

No Abletrons, tape machines, or MIDI sequencers (outside of what's in the RADIAS itself) were harmed in the performance of this music. Reverb is supplied by a Crown PZM in the next room, and no plugins were used to mix the music except for the stock MW Limiter in Digital Performer. this is straight-up rawdog drums and synth."

Peace Games was Created in association with Playeum for the "Bright and Shiny" event in Singapore, 2010.

Modded Wasp Synthesizer Demo


YouTube via eidco | September 17, 2008 - [previously posted - new post for the auction below]

"This is a demonstration of the Wasp Synthesizer I sold on eBay. The auction ran from Sep. 24 to Oct. 4, 2008.

I originally had a link to the auction item here, but it is too old now and the item has been removed.

My Wasp sold for a disappointing $687 dollars. Congratulations to the lucky winner of the auction. The timing of my auction coincided with the tanking of the US economy and I'm afraid that scared off a lot of potential bidders. I've seen other Wasp synths sell on eBay for over $1200 even in a non-operating condition.

Thanks for listening, rating, commenting, and subscribing to my videos."

MIDI MOOG by Studio Electronics - MIDIMOOG



SN 1600 via this auction

"Mini Moog- A rack mount Mini Moog (using a complete set of Mini Moog circuit boards) built by Studio Electroincs. Includes MIDI and extra modulation options. This is one of the early Studio Electronics models that used a Mini Moog for the circuit boards. This unit also contains the octave buffer oscillator stability modification. Rack rash around some of the holes but otherwise in great cosmetic condition.


The unit responds to MIDI and sounds just like my stock Mini Moog. The additional modulation abilities simply adds to the units versatility. The unit will require calibration just like a standard Mini Moog to touch up the tuning and tracking."

E.T. Drone Home Circuit Bent 4093 Synth by freeform delusion

via this auction - Sold For: £10.00
"E.T. Drone Home - This is a 4093 synth inside an Interactive E.T. We took out all the insides of E.T. (it was a failed bend), decided to do use the shell of the toy to house one of these drone synths. His chest still lights up, he doesn't move or talk. We added onto his back the following --- Mono mini Jack socket --- On/Off Toggle Switch ---Three potentiometers to control the synth. You can touch the dark part on his chest for some kind of body contact (don't know why this works we haven't connected anything to it?) this only works if you get the knobs at the right points which can be a few minutes work! .fd."
