A MATRIXSYNTH HALLOWEEN

MATRIXSYNTH HALLOWEEN


Happy Halloween everyone! Hope it's a good one!

Pictured: My ARP Odyssey Lumina and some MATRIXSYNTH pumpkins!

Click the pic for the crisp, full-size shot. Mouse over the image up top, and use the controls for the slideshow.

Update: I had to step out for a bit and didn't get to initially post the following. I thought I add it for those that might be interested. Phil Cirocco of C.M.S. does fantastic work. If you have an ARP that could use some work, you owe it to yourself to consider him having a look over. My ARP Odyssey had some stiff sliders so I sent it in for the Lumina upgrade and decided that if it's going to be away for a bit I might as well go all out. It came back in unimaginable shape. It was beyond what I expected. It literally seemed like I bought it from ARP today and just took it out of the box. It wasn't just a repair, it was a complete rejuvenation of the synth. I highly, highly recommend Phil's work. It's worth noting, Phil did the Hammond Novachord Restoration as well [previously posted here].

Alfonse "Subtract" - original track performed on iPad


YouTube Uploaded by alfonsemusic on Oct 30, 2011

"All parts were performed using Korg's iElectribe (beat) and iMS20 (synths) for iPad and each take was videoed as it was played. The parts were then mixed in Logic, adding some side-chain compression and overall mastering goodness.

SND ACME-4 Advanced MIDI Clock System


via this auction

"Manufacturer Description:
the ultimate in musical clock generation & manipulation

- The only device in the world to generate a MIDI master clock that is absolutely jitter-free !!
- Derives a highly accurate clock from any audio workstation or computer
- Generates 4 separate clock streams
- Each clock stream has its individual MIDI output. 2 streams also generate 24-ppq signals (“Roland sync”), while the other 2 provide trigger and reset signals for analog sequencers and arpeggiators.
- Each clock stream can be time-shifted in relation to the master clock, in extremely small increments as well as in 16th-note steps.
- Each clock stream can be set to double or half tempo, and can be turned on and off without loosing synchronicity.
- A swing or shuffle factor can be set individually for each clock stream. The swing pattern can be the same for all 4 streams, or it can be a different one for each. A software editor for these patterns is included.
- Complete settings of all controls can be stored and recalled. All parameters can be remote controlled via MIDI. A setup mode allows to set precise absolute offsets for each clock, to compensate for technical reaction time differences of the various devices connected.
- Like all SND products, the ACME-4 has been designed with great attention to detail. The 32-bit risc-processor ensures lightning-fast reaction. High-grade components (gold-plated jacks, switches, and push-buttons, sealed Alps potentiometers etc.) and a rugged metal casing ensure decades of reliable operation.
- Size: 217 mm (width) x 160 mm (depth) x 68 mm (height), powered by USB or external supply"

SIMMONS - Soviet Analog Custom Made 2 Ch Drum Synthesizer

via this auction
"Up for auction is interesting hand made 2 channel analog drum module called - SIMMONS. It was made in eighties in Soviet Union. The title may be was associated with famous Simmons drums or may be the master was copied some Simmons circuits in creation this unit or something like that. As a result we have a black box with two identical channels of analog drum synthesis that sounds very interesting and differents from all other factory analog drum synths that i hear. Control panel parameters - trigger input sensitive, decay, tone sweep, pitch and noise controls for each channel. On the back side - two trigger inputs and line out on a standart 1/4 Jack adapters. You can trigger the synth from drum pads or from any audio out - drum machine, analog output of soundcard etc. It has very sensitive trigger inputs so you even can bridge 1/4 jack adapter by hands and you will get sounds from synth line out. The unit runs from standart 9V power adapter. This device in good working condition. Cosmetically it has some scratches of time on body but for it`s age it looks good. The unit can produce various analog drum sounds with its own character. Really good original device for electronic experiments!"

Glass Candy's sinister homage to the John Carpenter classic. A Candy coated gift for all the Ghouls & Goblins in Candyland. Trick Or Treat? Another teaser from ///BODY WORK///. Disorienting walls of synthesizers grasping for their last breath accompanied by Rossini's most disturbing work to date. Unforgiving arpeggios slash at us like tiny knives in the darkest night, while Ida channels messages from a ouija board...

Basyn Analog Synth Module 13 Note Bass Pedals


via this auction

"This is the Basyn Analog Synth Module Kit, a 13 note, 2 oscillator analog synthesizer module, licensed from Cano Electronics excellent Sonosaur adapter. This kit will easily allow you to connect any 13 note analog trigger device, such as an organ pedalboard and turn it into an analog synthesizer, similar to the Moog Taurus. It features 2 oscillators (each tuned one octave apart), filter controls, full ADSR envelope controls and a noise generator. It requires a 9v 300mA DC power supply. Complete instructions are included. A 14-pin wiring connector is included so no modifications to the adapter are needed. Its easy to retrofit into your project. The board itself measures 4" x 5".

Features include:
Two oscillators with digital frequency control for drift-free performance. Oscillator 1 is tuned to 16' (low C = 32.7 Hz), and oscillator 2 is tuned to 8'. A mix pot lets you blend the two oscillator outputs in any ratio you desire.
A pseudo-random noise generator with a cycle time of more than four minutes. Make explosions, wind, timpani, etc.!
Analog waveshaping giving a preset mix of ramp and pulse waveforms, or red (1/f) and white noise.
A REAL analog Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release (ADSR) envelope generator with true exponential decay and release curves for a natural sound.
A REAL, honest-to-God, analog Voltage-Controlled-Filter (VCF)-- NOT a digital substitute! The VCF is a state-variable design with resonance ("Q") control. The filter tracks the pedals and has variable cutoff frequency along with variable sweep control from the ADSR.
A Voltage-Controlled-Amplifier (VCA) that can be controlled from the envelope generator or gated by the pedals.
Eight pots and two switches for creating your own sound. The pots control attack time, decay time, sustain level, release time, oscillator mix, VCF initial frequency, VCF sweep, and VCF resonance. One switch selects either the oscillator outputs or the noise source, and the other switch selects either the ADSR or gate output to control the VCA.
Direct connection to pedal switches-- no other interface is required."

...Aaron came up with this arrangement when playing with the lovely SoundPrism app. We recorded the performance you see to a basic drum loop, then Todd worked on some more detailed drum production afterwards. All of the synth material is straight out of the iPad with no editing, and check out the iPhone Bebot solo for extra comedy :)
