Generative Music in the Blues Scale using AudioCubes and Ableton Operator
YouTube Uploaded by Percussa on Jun 3, 2011
"AudioCubes are shown in this video with the new free generative music app from Percussa, capable of generating complex melodies, using note intervals from the blues scale. Notes can be sent via MIDI to any compatible hardware or software such as the Operator synth in Ableton Live 8 in this example. By adding cubes melodies can be added on top of each other. Rotate cubes to change number of notes played per bar, and place cubes next to each other to make them add to each other's note intervals to create subtly changing melodies, which will continue to have a time and harmony relationship."

New AtomoSynth Mochika XL
via AtomoSynth
"Hello World, at last it is our new Mochika XL.
Let's make some serious noise!!! this machine is great for live performance and improvisation for creating insane effect loops, acid basslines or crazy random rhythms.
Make noise - experimental music, change the sound in real time by tweeking the knobs on stage or in studio.
Connect it to your favorite effects (delay, flange, etc, etc)and create a wide sort of rhytm textures and soundscapes.
Sync it to any midi device like a drumbox midi sequencer or computer and play live with this beautiful lighted analog sequencer synth box!!!.
SpecificationsThis synth features one analog square and saw waveform VCO (voltage controled oscillator) with a huge pitch range, from subsonic to ultrasonic sound.
Glide effect with a large range for radical portamento effect.
One square and triangle waveform LFO (low frequency oscillator), that modulates the VCO for the vibrato effect or the VCF for a tremolo effect, creating old school arcade Atari-like sounds.
White noise generator that triggers the VCO and can create percussion like sounds, or mix the the noise with the VCO.Also, it has a built in vactrol based Low Pass and High Pass Filter with cut off and peak controls and a envelope generator with decay control to create a wide sort of timbres and sound possibilities.
Built in 8 step sequencer with global gate time control, note on/off switch and pitch slider for each step.
Then built in sequencer also has 8 playing modes:
Oscillator mode, the Mochika becomes a drone oscillator, you can select in real time between the 8 notes tweaking a knob.
4 step, 6 step, and 8 step sequencer mode.
4 step, 6 step, and 8 step forth and back sequence mode.
Random mode, it generates a large pseudo random sequence, seed of chaos!!!
The Mochika XL features a MIDI input to sync it any midi device sending midi clock signals, the mochika can sync 1, 2, 4 and up to 8 times the tempo of the master clock midi device.
Also the instrument is ligthed with 1 bright red led that indicates the LFO Rate, and 8 red leds to indicate the step that is being played. Very useful when you play it on a dark stage.
The Analog Sequencer is packed in a cool laser cut clear acrilic case that shows all the hand made analog circuitry.
The instrument is powered directly from 110V or 220V AC depending of the country.
Dimensions: 177mm(W), 228 mm(D), 80mm(H. incuded rubber feet and knobs)"

Audio Damage Panstation
via Audio Damage"Panstation is, without question, the most sophisticated autopanner plug-in available. We started with a loose model of the venerable Drawmer M500's panning engine, then added the counting features from the Audio & Design PanScan (probably the most famous vintage autopanner, and the "secret weapon" of many well-known producers.) The result is an autopanner plug-in that is second to none in both feature set and sound.
Panstation Features:
• Four different panning laws, including an exact 1:1 clone of the M500 pan law.
• Ten panning waveforms, including all the waveforms present in the M500.
• Free-run, MIDI tempo sync, MIDI note trigger, MIDI note number, and CC control of panning.
• Audio trigger counting feature from the A&D PanScan.
• Easy-to-read user interface. No squinting at tiny pixel fonts.
• Relative phase control of each side, for tremolo and stereo widening effects.
• MIDI Learn for full MIDI CC control over every parameter."

Marion Systems MSR-2 Analog Oberheim Module
via this auction
"What we have for auction here is a legendary and ultra rare Tom Oberheim designed Marion Systems MSR-2 Module in an almost mint conditon! It was basically designed as a modular 8-Voice Polysynth (expandable to 16-Voice) in the vein of the Matrix 12/6 series but much better sounding! Unfortunately due to the onset of the digital synth era Marion Systems never had a chance. As as a result it is extremely difficult to find these units."
" Polyphony - 8 voices (expandable to 16)Oscillators - 2 oscillators per voice
LFO - matrix modulation built-in (up to 10 routings at the same time with 24 sources/33 destinations)
Filter - 12/24 dB/oct filter
Memory - 500 patches
Control - MIDI"

Despite Ti's bad naming convention, this is probably one of their coolest musician-hacker gizmos on the market. It's an entire DSP platform with USB, Stereo In & Out, and expansion pins galore for buttons, knobs & LEDs. This is a killer way to learn a bit about DSP, and create your own unique sound machine without having to know any electronics.
Think of it as a music Arduino on steroids! This kit has everything you need to plug into your computer and start making sound."

Arp Quadra Analog Synthesizer
YouTube Uploaded by DrewBoricua on Jun 2, 2011
via this auction"Just had it recently serviced, everything works on it except for the aftertouch. If you look at other Arp Qudra's the aftertouch does not work on them, this is a known issues with these. Once the aftertouch dies it cannot be fixed. The tech that I had work on it works on modular moog synths and if it could have been fixed it would have been fixed, he said there was no way to fix the aftertouch.
Another known thing about this board is that if the keyboard is not on a flat surface the membrane can act funny and some of the buttons light up when not pressed, all Arp Quadra's are known for this. As long as it is on a stable surface it should be fine. I had mine on a keyboard stand and it worked fine."

"Love the KORG monotribe and microKORG XL!!
I made a simple loop beat with the monotribe. I recorded it by Logic Pro. And I added vocoder and guitar solo by the microKORG XL. I could make this song in only several hours. Only several hours! These 2 synthesizers brought me a miracle!! They gave me a inspiration and a speedy workflow. Wonderful!!

コルグ・モノトライブとマイクロコルグXLのみで演奏した楽曲です。最初に簡単なループをモノトライブにて作成しました。曲を作るつもりではなくモノトライブで遊んでいるときにほぼ偶然できあがったフレーズです。
それをMac（Logic Pro）に録音したうえで、さらにマイクロコルグXLによってボコーダー音色のボーカルと、曲後半部分のギターソロを加えました。
「いいな」と思ったらそこから可能性が広がる、モノトライブがまさにインスピレーションを与えてくれ、そしてマイクロコルグXLが形にするのを後押ししてくれました。
気負うことなく始めて、わずか数時間で曲ができあがる。とても素晴らしいと思います。

"Jean Michel Jarre - Rendez-Vous II (Live, 2004) (HQ)"
Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 for sync lead solo. I love that he continues to play vintage gear live. He could easily use modern gear. He has genuine appreciation for vintage synths. Rendez-Vous is one of the albums that initially got me into synths. Most of what I was listening to at the time had synths mixed in, but this was all synth. I remember lying in bed, eyes closed with headphones on listing to all the intricacies and textures in the album. It's been ages since I've had the time to listen to music like that. When's the last time you did?
