Another Noise Experiment With The STS-11 Synth - Samples Added


flickr By NeuGristle87

"Phew! This has taken me a good while to get the demo out. It was one of the hardest noise experiments I have ever done, due to how hard it was to put in the samples into the music itself. But at last, I got it done!

Enjoy the demo everyone."

Throwing Fire

YouTube via ronaldjenkees | August 05, 2008

"Throwing Fire is on my 2nd CD, Disorganized Fun: https://www.ronaldjenkees.com/mp3-store/ SUPER FUN TIME WITH THIS JAM!!!! Thanks a lot for watching! Hope you liked it. Kindof a rough cut, but it's always fun. This video is dedicated to the band Papa Roach for letting me check out their studio and giving me a place to stay in LA. Those are some hard-working rockers and good guys. I got cold chills listening to the songs they're working on for their new album. I think it's coming out really soon. My friend Sam gave me the hat I'm wearing in this vid. It's made of 100% recycled material. Can't beat that. Here's their site: http://www.livity.org I'm using FL Studio software to make the beat in the background and a Korg Triton Le keyboard on top, Motif XS8 on bottom."

Analogue Solutions Telemark #02 - Connecting an Analogue Sequencer (Oberkorn MK3)


YouTube via rezfilter | October 25, 2010

"HOW TO: Connect an Analogue Solutions Telemark Semi-Modular synthesizer (www.analoguesolutions.com) to an AS Oberkorn Analogue Sequencer.

This video covers basic connections from the Oberkorn sequencer to the Telemark synth (connecting: pitch x 2, filter, and EG/Trigger).

Another great feature of the Telemark is the integrated MIDI control, which can be used to transpose live sequences as they play back from the Oberkorn (shown in the video). This means that you can sequence the transposition via MIDI in your DAW of choice - control those analogue basslines!

Synths in video: Telemark, Station X/Y, TBX-303 [Analogue Solutions]

SEA WITCH VS THE ALIENS - A New Halloween Cue


""SEA WITCH VS THE ALIENS" by Drew Neumann c2010 Droomusic ASCAP

The story so far--fresh from their easy victory over the brainless Zombies, the Aliens dive into the Pacific Rim of Fire to raid the earth's resources and steal Methane Hydrates. They encounter something deep underwater that can actually fight back, and she is on her own home turf...

This cue features the Euro and Frac system set up in this simple patch--the one on the left is called Morbeus, it is an Emu/Paia homebrew made from Emu SSM evaluation boards and Paia EKX series boards. On the right top to bottom is an Encore Expressionist, Analogue Systems modular, Blacet, and Doepfer A100 modulars. Below that is a Powertran Digital Delay and an Alesis Quadraverb.
These synths are backed up by 2 Waldorf Microwave 1, WAVE, and Q+, a Minimoog, 2 Minimoog Voyagers, Studio Electronics Omega 8, 2 Oberheim SEMS, a Tom Oberheim New SEM, Access Virus B and C, Arturia Origin, 2 MacBeth M3X, Jomox Sunsyn, Alesis Andromeda, and the 5U Knob Grotto. Mixed live off of all of the synths, this used 63 tracks and a couple of hundred voices. It probably should be titled the battle against noise floor and ground loops, but I won that battle!"

UK Synth Museum Elka Synthex with Factory MIDI for Sale

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Paul Wiffen & The Elka Synthex Published on Sep 17, 2013 Mark Keen

"Paul Wiffen demonstrates a 1984 Elka Synthex. Most famously used on Rendezvous as the Laserharp sound by Jean Michel Jarre. Paul also originally programmed the original presets. Also used by Geoff Downes and Stevie Wonder - a beautiful synth sorely missed. For more info and DVDs goto www.museumstudio.co.uk"
Update via Christopher Clement in the comments: "The bloke holding the pint is none other than Julian Colbeck of Keyfax fame."


via this auction

"Brief specs: 8 voice polyphonic analogue synth, 2 oscillators per voice with all the usual waveshapes. Single/ dual or 2 part split modes (split mode: 4 voices on each split with seperate outputs on the rear for upper/ lower), 4 track sequencer, fantastic filter- 24db low pass, 12db and 6db band pass and 12db high pass filter modes. Extensive modulation possibilities and routing, unique programmable glide section independant for each oscillator. Amazing 3 stage chorus ensemble. 2x LFO's, 2x ADSR envelope generators, 40 patch presets and 40 user memories...

This Synthex has factory midi installed.

Comes with some accessories- full ATA flightcase custom made for the Synthex (brand new), user manual and full (large A3) schematics, also including some spare IC's, 2x CEM 3320 filter chips and 3x BBD's for the chorus circuit.

This Synthex came from the now shut "Synth Museum" in the UK, if you check google you can find a demo video of Paul Wiffen playing this very synth at the Synth Museum, [above]

Paul Wiffen originally programmed the preset (ROM) sounds for Synthex's and this machine has an extra bank of 40 sounds programmed by Paul in the user (RAM) registers- a really good bank of additional sounds."

Circuit Bent BABELBOX

via this auction
"circuit bent Texas Instruments Touch and Tell unit. This unit is called the BABELBOX. This unit will make bent voice/tone/loop sounds when you turn on any of the bend switches and touch the front panel. You can change the pitch by moving your hand over the photo sensor or touching the body contact and front panel. The size is approx: 14" X 10" X 1.5". The unit uses 2 "D" batteries for power (not included).This is a great instrument for live work or for sampling sounds in the studio... It makes sounds that are very different than the sounds that the Speak and Spell / Math / Read FREAKENSPEAK. It can sound like a theremin or a spaceman on speed! Great for techno,sound FX or electronic music.

Here is a list of the circuit bent features:
2 bend switches that can twist and bend the words and sounds when you press on the holographic panel. You can get the unit to spit out bent words and bent sounds almost endlessly.
1 Glitch button that bends the sound when you press the holographic panel and then press this button.
1 distortion switch that adds fuzz/distortion/pulse sound to the voice or bent sounds.
1 reset button to reset the unit if it crashes.
1 tone "on" switch that puts out a nice triangle wave tone that you can "play" with any or all of the pitch controls. This feature works great with the photo sensor control.
1 Pitch change photo sensor switch to turn on/off the photo sensor.
1 Photo sensor that lets you "play" the pitch of the sound by moving your hand over the sensor without touching it, just like playing a theremin! This is one of the best ways to play the sounds on the BABELBOX.
1 pitch range switch that sets the range of the pitch from high to low. You can switch from the highest pitch to the lowest just by flipping this switch.
1 pitch change brass knob for body contact. When you touch the knob the pitch of the sound will go down. If you touch the holographic foil label with your other hand, the pitch will go even lower.
1 pitch change pot with ball knob that varies the pitch of the sound in both high and low pitch ranges.(as set by the pitch range switch)
1 pitch change holographic foil front panel works when touching the body contact.
1 audio 1/4"output jack to send the signal to an amp or FX unit.
1 Speaker on/off switch to turn the internal speaker off and send the signal to the 1/4" output.
1 super bright LED that strobes to the sounds that the unit makes.
Shiny black paint job with silver marble look.
1 BABELBOX users manual."

1983 Oberheim OB-8 Two Page Ad


via Retro Synth Ads where you'll find the full write-up.

"This was the introductory ad for Oberheim's new flag-ship synthesizer. The two-pager only ran once or twice at the beginning of 1983 before being replaced by a half-page version (really? half-page? Yup!)."

LinPlug MorphoX

"Simplicity is the key
Dont get stuck in complexity, with you just need the modulation wheel and the keys to experience yet unheard expression and transformation in sound. Morphing made simple, in realtime, drastic changes in sound, right at your morph wheel.

Simplicity is the wheel
When you play and hear you wont believe its just a quite simple subtractive synth with chorus, delay and an arpeggiator. Its dead easy to create your own morphing sounds.
To get you started we hired some of the finest sounds designers to create 400 factory presets.

- the sound can be continuously morphed between two individual sounds including effects using the modulation wheel.
- powerfull yet easy to operate subtractive sound engine with many extraordinary modulation options (its a LinPlug)
- Stereo Filter with simultaneous low pass, band pass and high pass and Filter FM
- Modulation Matrix (10 routings, 20+ sources, 40+ destinations)
- user programable 16 step Arpeggiator
- Microtonal support (TUN file import)"

First Generation Moog Liberation circa 1980

via this auction

"Most sites claim the Liberation came into existence in 1981. Not so! They actually began production in 1979 and the first generations were released in 1980 and this is one of those very machines! This guy had suffered from the ever so dreaded 'rotting foam explosion' gumming up all the sliders and switches. So, all those sliders and switches have been replaced along with all new electrolytic capacitors and rebuilt power supply."

Moog Modular 950 keyboard controller


via this auction

"Vintage Moog 950 keyboard controller. Early version of 950 model controller. Has 'Hold/No Hold' switch instead of portamento (glide) switch. Also has wiring harness and connectors for external tuning of each note. Unit has been tested and works but since it is used, is being sold 'as is'. This is a controller only that produces a control voltage and an S-trigger for each note, it produces no sound on it's own."

YouTube via stretta | October 25, 2010

"free music to download at http://stretta.com

On Saturday, I folded multiple loads of laundry, cleaned the bathroom, and played closet tetris in order to claim some space to put the air conditioner I pulled from the window. Then I cleaned the top floor. Feeling pretty good about releasing a 512 version of press cafe the day before, I decided to tackle an idea I had for the monome involving FM synthesis. The horizontal axis is pitch and a modal pitch map can be quickly generated on any base note, or you can edit the pitch map arbitrarily. The vertical axis is a modulation parameter that can be routed simultaneously to several destinations. Patch editing is very gratifying as everything is live all the time, so you don't have to re-trigger notes to hear the effect. This also opens the door to additional real time control. It is easily hackable. There are no polyphony/voice limitations. The downside is it isn't light on the processor. This patch consumes 20% of one core on my core i7. I'm using some hacked in support for the powermate knob to quickly make some parameter changes to broaden the range of timbres demonstrated.

I finished the patch on Saturday night and resolved to make a video on Sunday. I had in mind something more musical for a demonstration, but I was losing sunlight, so this will have to do for now. I added reverb after the fact (Valhalla Shimmer), otherwise, you're hearing the real-time output.

20 years ago, I wished for the ability to design a purpose-built synthesizer/instrument in a specific configuration, and use an adaptable, non-specific interface to control that synthesizer. Today this is possible. I wish I could spend every day making things like this."
