David Lovelace-80s Keyboard Medley-The Red Door-July 2010


YouTube via localbandreview | July 23, 2010

"The amazing David Lovelace currently playing for the Connecticut Cover Band Driven, brings more equipment on stage than most bands and plays this great medley of 80's keyboard tracks. I even heard some Mario Brother's video game music in there.

The music is awesome even if the video is a little dark sit back and enjoy a flashback to the 80's

Kenny Larkin's Roland SH-101? & a Waldorf Pulse Plus

via this auction

"The items are being sold together so that the buyer may take advantage of the Waldorf Pulse Plus's built in CV to Midi converter which allows you to control the SH-101 (via 2 cv & gate cables).

The SH-101: This vintage synth was previously owned by Detroit techno legend Kenny Larkin & was used in the creation of classics like 'Pigs in space'."

Arp Omni Mk1

via this auction

"This is the MK 1 version which is a lot rarer than the later orange and black Omni-2. It is also in my opinion warmer sounding. The Omni comprises a string machine and 1-VCO synthesiser with LFO (and slider for rate), VCF cut-off and resonance, an ADSR, and includes chorus phaser and waveform enhancement effects to add colour to the basic sound...


The string sounds are beautiful and rival the Solina in their lushness. The keyboard splits when bass and cello are selected so that you can play vioilins/violas with your right hand and the lower stuff with you left hand. There is a mixer to get different volume levels for the synth and strings."

HOHNER STRING PERFORMER


via this auction

"BRILLIANT AND VERY RARE HOHNER STRING PERFORMER VINTAGE SYNTH. THE SAME BREED OF INSTRUMENT AS THE LOGAN STRING MELODY, ARP SOLINA E.T.C.

SUPERB DISTINCTIVE ANALOG SOUND CAPABLE OF MANY TONES.

THE KEYBOARD HAS 5 OCTAVES.

IT FEATURES A -

BASS FUNCTION, SUSTAIN STRINGS,

LOWER 2 OCTAVES - PIANO BASS , CLAVICHORD , CELLO , VIOLA , VIOLIN. EACH INSTRUMENT HAS A SELECTOR SWITCH AND A VOLUME SLIDER. THEY CAN BE USED INDIVIDUALLY OR BLENDED TOGETHER.

UPPER 3 OCTAVES - PIANO , CLAVICHORD , CELLO , VIOLA , VIOLIN. AGAIN , EACH INSTRUMENT HAS INDIVIDUAL VOLUME SLIDERS AND CAN BE USED INDIVIDUALLY OR BLENDED TOGETHER.

AT THE FAR RIGHT OF THE KEYBOARD ARE SOLO 'SYNTH SOUNDS'. THESE ARE - BRASS , STRING , CLARINET , PLANET , AND AN OCTAVE SWICH (HIGH/LOW). THERE IS A VOLUME SLIDER FOR THE SOLO SYNTH SOUNDS.

THE OUTPUTS AT THE BACK FEATURE - GENERAL OUTPUT , BASS , STRINGS , PIANO/CLAV/SOLO , SUSTAIN PIANO , FOOTSWELL , AND AN ON/OFF SWITCH.

ALL KEYS/FEATURES WORK EXCEPT FOR THE UPPER 3 OCTAVE SETTINGS FOR PIANO (NO SOUND) AND THE STRINGS (CONTINUOS SOUND LIKE AN OFF CHORD IS BEING PRESSED.) THESE WOULD OBVIOUSLY NEED ATTENTION.

THE KEYBOARD CLOSES INTO ITS OWN TRANSPORTABLE CARRY CASE WITH HANDLE."

COTK C964 Ratchet Module Test


YouTube via JohnLRice | July 23, 2010

"This is just a quick demo of my new Club Of The Knobs C964 'Ratchet Sequencer' module. Nothing musical to hear and the sound quality is just from the mono mic in my Nikon D300s camera. Most people probably wont like this, but I bet modular synth sequencer fans will watch it more than once! ;-)"

Inside an Akai EWI 3020m Analog Synth Module

flickr set by kb_cheapmods
(click for more)

"I'm not much of a wind player - mostly I goof around with my Casio DH's, but this EWI3020+3020m set was on ebay for a good price because it wasn't working.

I knew the 3020m was an all-analog synth, but I didn't know what the hardware inside was (and the service manual isn't floating around on the web).

Turns out it's got some solid CEM voicing, with some pretty decent matrix modulations possible, managed by the 78cXX micro. I haven't hooked it up to a midi keyboard yet, so I don't know if it's workable as a rack monosynth.

These are just some photos of the inside and outside of the unit. I wonder if this is the very last of the first era of analog synths (late 60's to mid 90's)?"

"Single board synth on the inside, surprisingly simple with minimal components..."

push pull 1- drums.mov


YouTube via coloringpad | July 23, 2010

"push.pull
pulse synth harmonics
phase (un)locked loops

The push.pull pedal is a synth effect based upon the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) IC, in which the PLL has been "unlocked" and let loose through joysticks, switches, and a pushbutton. It is hard to describe the sounds I have already heard: distorted, glitchy, fuzz, bass synth, drone, full of clicks, 8 bit, and erratic synthetic hyperdrive.

4 Non-Return to Center Joysticks
A green LED pushbutton that "unlocks" the pedal, allowing it to spiral out of control.
4 switches: Capacitor Envelope (Slow, Slower, Bypass) High/Low Tone Select Feedback Select (Audio, Voltage, Bypass) True Bypass
In/Out/Power

Painted in Blurple Colorshift and coated in a thick bar top-type epoxy
Low profile aluminum enclosure

I will add graphics.

Ridiculous. Insane. Brilliant. Wrong. Some adjectives I have heard to sum up musician's first impressions. I am flattered.

Why? Because I love the delicate monstrosity that is precarious noise. I also wanted to make at least an entry into the category of craziest pedal ever. Hope I can be yours.

I will manufacture these. Since I am emerging as a pedal artist, I will do a limited run of these (say about 10) over the next month or two. I am looking for investors and/or a collaborators smarter than me in the area of engineering and electronics, so that the push.pull can be even better. In the meantime, I will post videos and experiment and refine. If you would like one, email me about your interest at either pushpullpedal@gmail.com or coloringpad@gmail.com and I will keep you posted and definitely email you when they are ready.

Price? Not there yet. I'll know more soon.

More recreations of analog synths coming in 2011.

Subtractive synthesis, envelopes, FM


YouTube via Photosounder | July 23, 2010

"This video shows how to create an instrument, first by creating a dot with harmonics, editing the intensity of the harmonics using Horizontal Curves/Average, then how to apply an envelope to that basic tone by drawing a curve on a new layer and turning it into a suitable multiplication layer using Fill from Maxima to Bottom and Vertical Average, and then how to apply some frequency modulation to make the pitch shift up and down by drawing a sine-like curve and using Vertical Propagation.

Yamaha YC-45D


via this auction
"Yamaha YC-45D. Described as the Cadillac of combo organs but in fact more of a synthesizer in many ways. Probably the coolest looking keyboard ever made however. Used in the 70's by Chick Corea and other Jazz types. Popular with ska bands later on (the Specials used on last year for their reunion). It's also Becks keyboardist Roger Joseph Manning Jnrs favourite keyboard. And for good reason because it is properly brilliant.

Comes with (tilting) stand, bass pedals, volume pedal and cases for everything."
