Update: I'm guessing this is it.

Analogue Solutions Telemark Meets Doepfer & Greets Kraftwerk

Telemark Easter Monday Fun.wmv

YouTube Uploaded by jakobsweb on Apr 25, 2011

"The wonderful Analogue Solutions Telemark filter modulated by 2 Doepfer A-155 sequencers, gate by Telemark, triggered by Cubase 6;
accompanied by a pad from the Roland JX 8-P, bass by A-100 modular and drums by Vermona DRM1 MKIII.
All done with a friendly wink at rezfilter who inspired me a lot .... (still waiting for my Oberkorn)"

Telemark meets Doepfer

Uploaded by jakobsweb on Mar 13, 2011

"This is a song made with my very new synthesizer Telemark by Analogue Solutions. It's semi-modular and thus goes very well with my other modular and semi-modular stuff. The intro sound is done with the Telemark as well as another later on. It has a great sounding 12db multimode filter.
The other stuff I used in this song are: two Doepfer A-100 systems, Cwejman S1 MK2, DSI Prophet 08, Vermona analog drums DRM1 MKIII, Moog Voyager ... and a lil' drumloop ... all arranged, mixed and mastered using Cubase 6 and some Waves plug-ins. Feel free and invited to comment or ask questions. Enjoy!

Here is a list of some of the Doepfer A-100 modules that I used in case you are interested:
A-111 (3x), A-108, A-140, A-141, A-143-1, A-143-2, A-143-3, A-183-2, A-121, A-110 (3x), A-188-1, A-130, A-131, A-138a, A-138b, A-138m, A-151, A-180, A-134 (2x), A-181 (2x)
The Telemark was modulated by Doepfer A-147 (VC-LFO) - 2 times via multiple.
The Cwejman's LFO was gate triggered by the Doepfer A-160 clock divider."

04 Roland-Ready GR-700 Turbo Synth - Final Release Version 5 Roland Factory Software


YouTube Uploaded by WayneJoness on Feb 7, 2011

via this auction
"There are four documented versions of GR-700 software noted in the GR-700 service manual. Version four (1.4) is the most common software found in the GR-700. However, some of the last GR-700s made by Roland shipped with the rare, version 5 (1.5) software. The GR-700 Turbo has the rare version 5.0 software! Unlike the earlier upgrades, version 5.0 software does not add any new features, but instead improves on the most neglected aspect of the GR-700: faster and more accurate tracking. On average, version 5.0 is 1.5 milliseconds faster than version 4.0. The GR-700 Turbo does not reach the speed and accuracy of modern synthesizers, but it is an improvement over earlier versions, and includes the final revisions of the GR-700 factory patches."

"Interface and Sound Board Chips (2 chips total) + 128 Additional Patches
Rare, final version 1.5 operating system EPROM chips
Improves on speed and tracking of previous versions
28.53 ms (version 1.5) average response time versus 29.87 ms (version 1.4)
Easy to install and replace
Allows change in reference pitch from the original A=442 standard (improvement over version 1.1)
Fixes sustain level failure when in EDIT mode (improvement over version 1.2)
Adjusts pitch range for "B" to be same as all other notes (improvement over version 1.3)
Includes final revisions of the factory patches for banks 1-4
PLUS - 2 Complete banks of original Roland GR-700 alternate sounds on print outs, 18 pages (64 patches x 2)
More information on hardware and software revisions on the GR-700 resource webpage
Questions? Feel free to email me!

About these Roland GR-700 Version 1.5 software EPROM chips:
I have been able to document five different versions of software for the GR-700. The most common version in my experience is version 4. The GR-700 service notes explain the differences for versions 1, 2, 3 and 4. I have seen a few GR-700s with version 5 software. What version software does your synth have? This is easy to check! Power up the GR-700 while holding down the STRING SELECT NO. 4 button. The display will show the software version, 1-4 means version 4. 1-2 indicates version 2 software. Incidentally, the patch corresponding to the software version will be selected when doing this procedure.

Initializing Patches:
It is possible to reinitialize the first four banks of patches for the GR-700, banks 1 though 4. There is no way to recover patches in banks 5 through 8 if they have been lost. To reinitialize patches in banks 1 - 4, turn on the power switch while pressing down the WRITE (copy) button. Be sure to have the memory protect turned off.

Roland GR-700 - Final Release Version 5 Roland Factory Software
Roland made it very easy to change or upgrade the operating system in the Roland GR-700 guitar synthesizers. There are two main boards in the GR-700, the interface board, which attaches to the top of the GR-700, and which connects to the switches, output jackes, display, etc. And the sound or voice board. The voice board is on the bottom on the GR-700.

Each board uses a 64K EPROM chip for its operating system/operating parameters. One chip is marked as "IF" for the interface board, and "SH" for the sound or voice board. Simply open the GR-700 up, remove the existing chips and install the new chips, then power the GR-700 up. There is no special initialization procedure. The software is loaded when the unit is turned on. These chips also contain the bank 1-4 factory patches. Initializing the sound banks in the GR-700 will load these patches from the "SH" chip."

Tiptop case #1



via Jimmersound:

"I thought you might like these photos. I recently fell into the black hole known as Eurorack in the Modular galaxy. After a lot of research I ordered a batch of modules from Analogue Haven (Thank you, Shawn Cleary!) and I emailed Tiptop about their cases. After emailing back and forth a bit, it turns out Gur Milstein (of Tiptop) & I live about five miles apart, which led to me having the great fortune of being the proud owner of Tiptop case #1 (Thank you, Gur!). I have been happily patching away ever since. I have a few other modules on order and I also have the option of using my Moog theremin (with CV outs), ARP Axxe, Microcon and a few other goodies I have with this rig, but it will be a self-contained instrument."

Crisis - 'Reactor4'

via Syndrom
"We released an album, "Reactor4" using just analog synthesizers and effects. I have sent you two links to YouTube videos. The album details can be found here:
http://www.syndrom-records.com/reactor4.html"

"'Evakuierung' (excerpt)
This track features a Moog Prodigy processed through a Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo. Some of the distortion on the album were produced with an Electro Harmonix Big Muff pedal. The vocal recording is the evacuation message that was played from loudspeakers during the evacuation of the city near Chernobyl in 1986. It was processed through an A-120 Low Pass Filter from a Doepfer A-100 modular.

'Prypiat'
This track represents the derelict city after the evacuation and chaos is over. The lonely melodic parts are a Moog Prodigy played through the Roland RE-501, with lots of spring reverb. The Moog's envelopes were set with a slow attack."

Bluelantern FM JOYSTICK



via this auction
See the seller's other items for more.

"This is a new Module I made this week. It is called an FM JOYSTICK. It has (2) Bi-polar AXIS that act as Attenu-inverters. What the heck is that? Think of it like this----middle joystick is 0v(ZERO). Left and Right is Positive and Negative. So it will inverter what ever you plug into it.

When there is nothing connected to the Input jack of an axis it will internally Switch and supply 2.5v for you to Invert and output. It can be adjusted with a Trimmer inside to about 6.5v if you wanted a greater sweep.

I calibrated the Middle/Zero area on a 12v based Power supply. There are trimmers to calibrate the Zero area.

There is also a push button feature on the Joystick just like the home Gaming Joysticks. There are (2) passive Jacks on the top for you to connect and activate with the Push action of the Joystick.
The joystick has Spring Return to the center."

Cute little melody on three analogue sequencers


YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on May 3, 2011

"After having build some sequencers I thought it could be nice to actually create some music with them. I therefore composed this melody out of 16 notes - the maximum capacity on the biggest sequencer - I used another for a kind of arpeggio that runs in sync with the melody sequencer. The third sequencer is used for the un-syncronized notes in the beginning.

I used the Technics SX-C600 organ for some chords and to scatter some happy notes over the arrangement."

"Bugbrand Weevil '08 in Superb used condition. I've owned this from new and it has had an easy life. It has a speaker and 1/4 inch line out so you can operate it stand alone or record it with a mic or process it directly through the sound card/mixer. It also plays well with pedals and modular gear. I've recorded the output and used the waveforms in other synths with good results.

These are not available any more from Tom of Bugbrand, and they were always sold out very quickly so it may be a last chance to grab one. I'm including the original literature and it even comes in the original brown cardboard box with a free Bugbrand sticker."

"The Drumulator is a sample based drum machine from circa 1983. The original Drumulator stock sound set was gritty, lo-fi, 12-bit samples of basic drum sounds, which become a classic in many songs of the 80s.

This auction includes 9 Digidrums Drumulator EPROM kits (5 EPROMs in each kit) in addition to the Drumulator stock drum kit, and a custom 808 sound kit from drummob.
