Update:

RS7000 vrs TB303 Followup

Uploaded by zamisers7k on Dec 9, 2011

"Thanks for the 303 help guys. If you've got an RS here are the tricks. Instead of using the grid groove just enter your notes an octave up or down for transpose on that step, the accent just use a higher velocity like 127 instead of 100 normally. The hard part is the slides and I'm not sure I got it down perfect but use the job menu for Note and do a glide. The glides are in increments of 479 per quarter bar, so a 16th step equates to 119.75 incs, and the glide for a single step should just under 179.625. Of course you can only do whole numbers so... here is my chart and remember to take off about 10 increments at the end of the half glide equation or at your discretion, there may be better amounts:

0
59.875 half
119.75
179.625 half
239.5
299.125 half
359.25
419.125 half
479

You might be better off calculating with 480 incs, any way I like to make youtube videos with my TV ON, little FYI for MFing commenters."

KAWAI K5000R ADVANCED ADDITIVE SYNTHESIZER


via this auction

"Voice architecture is made of up to 6 "sources". Each source contains an additive DCO and formant filter (128 bands) in parallel with a sample based generator, which feeds a DCF and a DCA. Odd Sources (e.g. 1, 3, 5) can then amplitude modulate even Sources (e.g. 2, 4, 6) (i.e. {[DCO->DFF]+PCM->DCF->DCA}+{[DCO->DFF]+PCM->DCF->DCA}+{[DCO->DFF]+PCM->DCF->DCA}+{[DCO->DFF]+PCM->DCF->DCA}+{[DCO->DFF]+PCM->DCF->DCA}+{[DCO->DFF]+PCM->DCF->DCA}->AM). Four additive snapshots can be morphed. Ring mod uses adjacent sources. Extensive modulation capabilities are also offered (see below). The K5000W adds a percussion source (253 samples), with a dedicated DCF (low pass, resonant) and DCA, and a sequencer. There are 2 poly and 2 mono voice modes..."

Stocking Stuffers: Bob Moog Foundation 2012 Calander

I put a post up earlier on the new 2012 Bob Moog Foundation Calender. Not only would the calender be a great gift to yourself for the holiday season, but it would go to a great cause. The Bob Moog Foundation is bringing our wold of synthesizers to new generations. Be sure to visit them at http://www.moogfoundation.org/. You might notice a new banner on the right of the site under Artists and More. Clicking on it will take you to their shop where you can pick up the calendar. Another way you can support them is via their Igniting Creativity and Innovation campaign on IndieGoGo, and of course directly on their site: http://www.moogfoundation.org/.

Custom Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 Minus Keyboard


via this auction

"This unit, serial number 1010-0078, is the final production version of the Prophet-10 designed around two Prophet-5 Rev 3 voice boards. It has enhanced microprocessor control circuitry and software to provide 10 polyphonic voices (2 VCOs each) in four keyboard modes with responsiveness comparable to the Prophet-5. These modes allow the choice of separate polyphonic control of two 5-voice synths, combined control of a “stacked” pair of 5-voice synths, alternating notes between two 5-voice synths, or control of a single 10-voice synth. Additional features not found on the Prophet-5 include programmable 3-band equalization, two control voltage pedal inputs with assignable routing, three foot switch inputs and a 10,200 note polyphonic sequencer. It is equipped with Sequential’s MIDI interface kit and the latest firmware, Rev 6.1. Recently the unit was thoroughly tested, repaired and burned-in by Wine Country Sequential in preparation for sale.

If you are familiar with the Prophet-10, you are probably wondering what happened to the keyboards on this unit. Although the stock Prophet-10 with its twin manuals is a sight to behold, the inclusion of two keyboards makes the nearly 3-1/2 foot by 2 foot by 8 inch, 70 pound unit so cumbersome that it is difficult for one person to move it by themselves, and difficult to integrate into a small studio environment or performance setup. As well, with the advent of MIDI controllers and sequencers and availability of the Prophet-10 MIDI upgrade kit, the built-in keyboards became redundant. At least a few ardent but frustrated Prophet-10 users dreamed of a slimmer instrument without the keyboards.

While I was employed as a service technician and visiting E-Mu Systems in the late 1980s, I happened to mention this to a product design engineer there who described to me a simple solution he referred to as “The Riley Mod.” It turns out that all the structural members forward of the main control panel can easily be unbolted and removed except for the sides of the chassis frame. The keyboards, modulation wheel and sequencer modules are simply unplugged from the rest of the synthesizer, unbolted and removed. Then the sides of the chassis frame can be cut back in line with the new forward face of the enclosure created by reusing a long corner piece and sheet metal that was part of the keyboard enclosure. Likewise, the wooden end pieces are carefully cut back to match the new enclosure dimensions and refinished to match the original look. Voila!

As you can see in the photos, the end result resembles an Oberheim Xpander, but with the familiar Prophet-10 control panel and no keyboards. This reduces the depth of the instrument to 13-1/2 inches and weight to 43 pounds – a much more practical size for lifting, transporting and integrating into an electronic music studio or performance system. For example, this slim rendition of the Prophet-10 rests comfortably on an Apex column stand.

NOTE: The circuit boards contained in the synthesizer unit are unaffected by the “Riley Mod” and have not been modified in any way except for installation of the factory-supplied MIDI upgrade kit..."

Vintage Ludwig Phase II Synthesizer


via this auction

"For those who are unfamiliar with this amazing piece of gear, it is actually a small cabinet, about 18" high and 12" wide and 6" deep. The top lid folds back exposing the upper deck controls and a silver knob in the center that, when pulled up, allows the pedalboard to swing down. The various controls are changed on top, while the footswitches on the pedalboard below switch different sections of the controls in and out of the signal path, flip between mono and stereo operation, or bypass the unit entirely. The expression pedal changes the sound dramatically in many different ways depending on which settings you have dialed in... It still lights up like a Christmas Tree when you turn it on though!"

Bach: Sinfonia No. 15, BWV 801 (synthesized)


YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Dec 8, 2011

"Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Sinfonia No. 15 from Inventions and Sinfonias, BWV 801

This piece comes from Bach's collection of Inventions and Sinfonias (also known as Two- and Three-Part Inventions). Bach composed the set as an exercise for his keyboard students, stating that students "are shown a clear way not only to learn to play cleanly in two parts, but also, after further progress, to handle three obligate parts correctly and well; and along with this not only to obtain good inventions (ideas) but to develop the same well; above all, however, to achieve a cantabile style in playing and at the same time acquire a strong foretaste of composition." This sinfonia is the last of the set, and is one of the more challenging. It requires great dexterity in the fingers to play its fast, flowing runs cleanly and articulately.

This synthesized rendition, along with the scrolling visualization, were generated by our MATLAB synthesizer. The timbre is a combination of three previously created sounds, as well as a new voice created specifically for this piece."
