Disney CHAMBERLIN M-1 KEYBOARD MELLOTRON?

via this auction
"For your consideration is this vintage Chamberlin M-1 keyboard. This particular example, serial number 86103, is in very nice all original condition. It works great and sounds amazing, and features a set of original tapes. The Chamberlin is the, better and more advanced, predecessor to the Mellotron which has better sounding recorded samples resulting in a better, more dynamic, instrument. Due to the original premium purchase price, the Chamberlin was produced in very limited quantities (around 150-200), and they have since become one of the rarest and most expensive vintage keyboards. This Chamberlin is being offered with No Reserve, which means it will sell to the highest bidder regardless of price!

This particular one was owned by a Disney composer and was outfitted with 2 sets of original tapes. One set was a small collection of sound effects, and the other set was used for scoring cartoons. It was last serviced about 1 year ago, and is in excellent functional condition.

The set currently installed features:

1) Strings (3 Violins) 2) Cello 3) Bass Clarinet 4) Oboe 5) Trumpet 6) Flute 7) French Horn 8) Alto Sax

While it worked perfectly when tested immediately prior to listing this auction, the lowest note (G) has a tendency to me temperamental. Otherwise, all switches, knobs, keys, dials function perfectly."

clARCk and Kradle POC

clARCk from made by robot on Vimeo.

"Like a clock, only on an Arc from monome. Silly technical demo app, but it translates hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds onto the arcs 64 led displays. If you don't count the numbers and read them as clock faces it actually works.

Code coming soon, with v0.2 which will include an alarm set functionality."

"Version 2 demo video, showing some of the interaction and the two views. It's been a nice warm up app for working with the Arc. I think clocks might become my new "hello world".

Kradle POC from made by robot on Vimeo.

"Quick proof of concept mockup in Max for an Arc based Newtons Cradle style random sequencer (I guess it's technically not random at all). Using the drum sounds in the OOTB Max Java demo patch for ease. I'm not entirely sure it works as a drum machine, it's too all over the place. But I'll slap on some midi/osc outs and see how it sounds hooked up to a more ambient style sound generator.

This is very much POC, the hit zones are still off by a few all I do is check to see if the left one is within a range, and the right one is within a range, if so bang. I'm also considering adding a 2nd set of rotators which you control with the press, these would have a 1/2 intensity setting to differentiate and would also react with their neighbors, this might add to the speed of the collisions.

The spinning and velocity is a taken from a butchered copy of one of Strettas now deprecated 'primitives'"

Downgrade - M-Audio Venom Demo by Cafe 80

via Cafe 80

"No external drums and no external effects (although I should say that the parts have been tracked through the UA710 preamp with a good amount of tube distorsion). By the way, I'm using the multimode and the arpeggiator to layer these grooves, but nothing is MIDI-sync, it's all live, trying to trigger the grooves in sync with each other. The fact that it works so well is really a tribute to how fun and playable this thing is."

Future Prophecies

Future Prophecies from Sara Simms on Vimeo.

"Future Prophecies is an epic tale of heartbreak, friendship and survival. Watch and listen as music intertwines the lives of many and brings them together to take back their city in one of the most original adventure stories of the decade.

In the future, post-apocalyptic Toronto remains one of the last global strongholds. The streets have fallen to a fleet of crime-ridden survivalists run by the ruthless tycoon Doyle Delano. Delano owns Bogtown Records, a powerful corporation investigated for human experimentation before WWIII. Bogtown is rumored to be picking up where they left off with their unthinkable work, and have only begun to implement their evil plan for the city. Without a structured government in place, dark days have descended.

Decklyn Dubs, a local underground club owner uncovers the company’s mysterious past and their horrifying new agenda. He realizes that there is only one person can help to overcome Bogtown and restore Toronto.

Sara Simms is no ordinary DJ/producer; she is rumored to have retreated to the sewer to escape her turbulent past. In the depths of the underground she learns to use her supernatural powers to control musical technologies. Now time is running out, and Decklyn Dubs must locate her in time to stop Bogtown.

Sara Simms, the unassuming heroine, is a timeless character who will convince you there is a hero inside all of us. Join Sara and her crew as they battle against Bogtown, fighting for freedom, music, their city and each other. The Torontonian DJ’s, producers and barflies will have you cheering in your seat as they prove that an uprising can originate from the darkest and most unlikely places. Future Prophecies features the next generation of Toronto’s electronic music producers and DJs, including:

Hinton Instruments Custom DAW Interface for Volta

via Hinton Instruments

"Hinton Instruments has supplied an active multichannel interface for use with a MotU 2408 and Volta, or Expert Sleepers’ Silent Way, that overcomes the inherent limited range problems and the inability to trigger older synthesizers requiring high gate and trigger voltages.

Two of our Quad Line Input eurocards were used to provide balanced to unbalanced conversion, ±10dB (÷3 to x3) level trim with LED indicators and dedicated high level V-trig and Moog type S-trig outputs. Although this particular system was intended for CV outputs the cards may also be used for DAW Output or Input level matching and may be switched between DC coupling and AC coupling with DC servoing.

The Quad Line Input may also be supplied as a Eurocard module or bare pcb to be built into other systems allowing a variety of interfacing functions between DAWs and unbalanced systems to be easily configured."

RECENT DIY ELECTRONICS - DOEPFER CHAOS CASE + MATRIX MIXER

via John Macedo

"Doepfer Chaos Case
The idea behind the Chaos Case was to explore a very simple setup by applying nonlinear/chaotic routing and modulation. It's made from an old Electro Harmonix Hot Tubes wooden box with enough room for 4 modules (max 200mA) and a bunch of home made passive modules.

Matrix Mixer
Inspired by David Tudor. 4x5 passive Matrix Mixer built to expand the routing/modulation of the Chaos case. The Design is a expanded Nicolas Collins design from Handmade Electronic Music.

Some recordings of a few different patch configurations using the Doepfer Chaos Synth and Matrix Mixer. Modules used are 2x Doepfer A-110 VCO, A-121 VC Multimode Filter, A-118 Coloured Noise and Random Voltage Generator, the homemade passive modules... and a whole lot of cross modulation, nonlinear routing and tweaking:"

"Controlling and processing the Buchla through my Elektron MonoMachine proved to be totally lovely! This is something I'll spend a lot of time doing in the future. The rhythm based delay and reverb inside the MM and the very dynamic timbres of the Buchla match very nicely.

MacBeth X-Series Touch Keyboard Demo 2

MacBeth X-Series Touch Keyboard Demo 2 from Ken MacBeth on Vimeo.

Part 1 here. Also see this earlier video.
"Here is the prototype touch keyboard that I have been working on. It is a 2 octave unit with pitch bend and glide. There is also an insertion for an external LFO/Source. This is both compulsive and great fun to play! I know there are quite a few touch products out ther in the Modular Synth market- but this keyboard is not designed to be a modulator- but a compact true analogue touch keyboard! It spits out 1V/Octave CV and of course Gate. I looked back- and this work I first attempted in 2002- 9 years ago! Brainwaves occured to me- and this has been a sucessful development. Planned for the final model will be a jack field at the top of the unit to interface with your favourite analogue gear!"

Microtonal Xenharmonic FMTS & FM Tutorials

You might remember the Xenharmonic FMTS synthesizer from this previous post. Tony from dubbism wrote in with a link to a tutorial for those that might be interested in exploring microtonal/xenharmonic music.

"Written with the FMTS in mind, it's an attempt to demystify microtonal/xenharmonic music and to challenge the idea that you need to be a scientist to understand the theory. There's a lot of groovy xenharmonic music and enough info and resources to get you started in 10 minutes.

For those who need to brush up on their knowledge of FM synthesis there's even a super easy FM tutorial over here."
