Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!!!  I hope 2012 treated you well and I wish you the best in 2013!

As I do each year, I thought I'd reflect a little on the past year.  These posts are always difficult to write, and I always wing them, so bear with me.  It's impossible to justify a whole year's worth of synth coverage in a single post.  The following is just a small bit of what comes to mind when looking back.  You'll find a top ten list of posts with the most page views followed by my picks for the year further below.  Apologies if I miss anything, and of course, if you have anything to add, feel free to leave a comment below.  I'm curious what you, the readers of the site, felt stood out in the world of synths this past year.

First, I want to begin this post with a HUGE THANK YOU!!!  If you are reading this it obviously means you have come to this site and some of you have been coming here for years! Thank you for sticking with me. This site is a journey I hope to continue for years to come. Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to showcase their synths, and thank you to those that share what they find! Thank you to those that link to the site and help spread the word on MATRIXSYNTH via Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and your own websites! And of course, THANK YOU to all the sponsors on the right who believe in the site enough to support it!

A nod to previous New Years posts, pictured to the left is the MATRIXSYNTH world domination map. :)  I always think it's worth taking a look at who's watching the site.  Synths are global and you are looking at a map of the readers of MATRIXSYNTH.  Everything you see in green represents a visit from that country.  The darker the green, the higher the number of visits.  This is just for the year, but for the life of the site, we still haven't gotten a single hit from North Korea!   I don't know what they have against synths!  ;)   You'll find the top 10 visits by country further below.

This is the eighth New Year the site has gone through!  The focus for the site this year has been the same as previous years, and I plan to keep it that way.  This site is about showcasing specific synths, not just synths in general, and not just news and press releases.  The focus is on the individual synths that have existed throughout history, the technology behind them, and the lives they lead with their odd owners, myself included.  :)  Yes it is about the gear, their makers, and their players.  It has always been my opinion that synths in general have a tendency to be undervalued. Compared to say collectible guitars, they are often discarded and devalued in favor of next year's model, next year's technology.  It has always been my opinion that every synth has something of value to offer,  something specific and something unique that gives it its character. I built this site to showcase that.  This site is about the history of synths as their history unfolds - videos and images of synths being played and used, by both those that make them and those that play them.  Vintage synths being offered in the second hand market, being exchanged from one sonic explorer to the next. It really is a wondrous thing. Think of the magic synthesizers bring into your world. That is what this site is ultimately about.  Some posts may not seem to make sense now, but they will in time, because they will be a look back in time. A day in the life of a particular synthesizer.  I love analog and I love digital. I love all synths and this site celebrates that.

And now for a little reflection on the year. This year we had a total of 16678 posts including this one.  That comes out to roughly 45.69 posts a day.  Not a single day of the year went without a post.  So what dominated the synth year?  Mobile, modulars and a few dedicated hardware synths.

Jim's Tips & Tricks - Arpeggionome/Magellan Jam

Published on Dec 31, 2012 Jim McLaren·35 videos

"This is a quick jam I put together while experimenting with the new versions of Arpeggionome and Magellan. I used Multitrack DAW to record the audio output for this video, and it was recorded using Audiobus to route the Magellan Output internally.

The song is MUSE's "Take a Bow", and I did a quick cover of the arpeggio synth beginning of the song.

Even though Arpeggionome is currently not audiobus compatible for its own internal synth, it is still able to control Magellan via virtual MIDI control. The video was recorded with a fourth gen iPad and edited with Final Cut Pro X."

YAMAHA FX-1 VINTAGE SYNTHESIZER ORGAN

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Note the EX-1 is not the pre-cursor to the GX-1. That would be the "EX-42 (1970–1977, stage model, design origin of GX-1)" according to the list of Yamaha products on Wikipedia.

"For your consideration is a Yamaha FX-1. This polyphonic FM synthesizer is one of the rarest, most complex, and most expensive synthesizers ever built. Yamaha's flagship FM synthesizer/organ son of the analog GX-1/EX-1 couple, and father to the DX-1, this beautiful instrument packs all the sonic possibilities of a standard organ and polyphonic synthesizer into one gigantic and unique package. If you think that the DX-1 is incredible, which it is, this is even better. The FX-1 is to the DX-1 what the GX-1 is to the CS-80. When released in 1983-4, the FX-1 had a $43,600 price tag (compared to the DX-1, which was released in 1984 with a $10,900 price tag). That's $102,000 today when adjusted for inflation. It is the second most expensive synth that Yamaha ever made. It is rumored that less than 100 were built. Don't miss your chance to get this extremely rare and incredible-sounding synthesizer for much, much less!

This auction includes the synthesizer, bass pedals, bench, and the two extremely rare and gorgeous-sounding (2) Yamaha TM-1 tone cabinets that originally came with this unit. The features of this synthesizer are much too extensive to list here...

This is a very large instrument - 45" high x 60" wide x 32" deep and nearly 500 lbs! - and can only be shipped via freight. The $590 shipping cost is just an estimate..."

ADDAC System .. . ...A word from our team - 31.12.2012

via the ADDAC Systems mailing list:

"...A word from our team

Dear beloved ADDAC System User’s

Here we are at the brink of a new year, the world didn’t end, we’re still thinking, walking and talking... Hmmm, maybe you don’t even remember anymore, what was that all about anyway?

It’s almost impossible to arrive at the end of another year without making a balance of all that happened throughout it’s course.
We look back and see how much we’ve learned, how much was done, how much we grew and how many more user’s trust our solutions.
We can’t express how it feels to have more and more happy users!

We’d like to take this opportunity to give you a peak of who’s at the ADDAC System Core Lab - Division A2, (we blew up A1 a few months ago, oooops, but don’t worry, we already made public that we won’t turn on the black matter device again*), so this is our current trustworthy team and a magnified peak into their personas:
Andre, who’s studying how to become an ermit in night school, works over the clock at both the start and the end of the production line, juggling together concept, circuit & panel design, emails(fewer than he should), programming, testing All modules and obsessively alligning hex nuts as some sort of odd Zen therapy ( you know we like all our nuts alligned in our panels, don’t you? ). It has also been reported that sporadically he can be seen at the local skate park busting his signature trick hardflip to crooked to nose slide switch tre flip out.
Ruben strangely seemed to have grown a third and, more recently, a fourth robotic arm on his collar bone so that, while keeping his “natural” hands free for the soldering iron and solder wire, can now hold the solder fumes extraction hose and a 1200x magnifier lens at the right place and in the perfect alignment, these new, still developing, arms run on a state of the art quantum computer the size of a penny and whose neural network have recently just learned how to roll cigarretes like no other can match.
João by now started to babble in binary code, making haikus in arrays of precisely 64 chars, compressed format. He’s running of a very yin yang diet of freshly grounded cofee and gourmet vegetable oil organic fuel, he flys a brainwave activated late model turbo charged dark green triple-engine jetpack.
Sandra does not type a letter anymore, she developed a molar purpletooth that delivers thunderbolt brain connection with minor side effects like flowing between pink dreams and nightmares at night. Among these, she reported being in a pointillism painting mingling around on the grass of an island where, while some of you and us danced in circles, yet like another later paiting, others made beautifull music from their portable sun powered modular systems enjoying a beautifull Sunday afternoon celebrating sound. Other reports tells us of horror adventures where she chases Andre irated while in it’s turn also irated waiting customers chase both of them through the dark mountains of Mordor under the all seeing eye of laptop users.

But as good or weird as all this might sound like we still have no special powers, we keep our feet on the ground, eyes on the horizon and sanity from your emails, your feedback and love. Thanks for giving us the drive to keep our spirits up, for making us believe that we’re not alone here.
We feel and share your passion towards the Modular World, towards the open Synthesizer, with a big S, the all mighty instrument, one that can give us eternal hours of Sound possibilities, myriads of combinations, structures and compositions. I believe we all just grew to love and got tangled in this never ending world.
And so we took upon us this mission, there’s never enough modules and there’s still so many possibilities to explore, may 2013 bring many more solutions...

And yes we’re not talking about any new module or announcing any release this time, although we’ll be announcing a future module every day during the first 7 days of Janury, so keep tuned to our facebook page and our website, it will start tomorrow!

We also like to note that we’re still offering free shipping on modules and accessories until January 10th.

Have a Happy New Year!

All the very best

PS. Release Notes on 206, 207 and 803

We also would like to take the opportunity to dedicate a word for all of you waiting for the first units of the 206, 207 & 803 Modules
We know you've been waiting for a while now, we are very aware of that and in our thoughts everyday.
Our sparse reports over time may have sound that we were shipping them earlier but due to Andre’s pickiness and obsession with endless fine tunning we still didn’t. In fact we could have done so already, the modules and physically ready, but we don’t want the easy way out, oh no otherwise how could we sleep restfully with doubts on our minds about what we had just done, if it would fail or brake once they get to their new homes and warm frames... This is how we’re thinking here: these are new modules and we won’t let go of them until the fine tunning process is brought to an obsessive stage of scrutiny, testing them with all the shebang of professional tools and our ears, “in case of doubt always trust your ears”.
The best part of this stage is when we start using them in our own modulars even debutting them live and watching the cycle closing as they start “living” in their natural environment and behaving like they were supposed to and surprising us with what we expected and most times more! There’s no doubt that there is some degree of a very personal process in this, seeing them coming to shape, holding on sitting in some rack half torned apart looking helpless until when, suddenly, like magic, they light up and we put it through all this scrutiny and we start trusting them, more and more until we can look at them as a separate entity that we can say farewell to. At that time they will get up and start walking out the door heading to your house and presenting themselves at your doorstep.
But we can add that we are deeply enjoying developing this new modules and we’re proud of them already, we trully trust you’ll be very happy with them as well. Just bear with us for a bit longer!

And many thanks for your understanding, it’s deeply appreciated.

PS2. If you wish to be removed from this list just reply with Unsubscribe

*we deeply believe that it was an induction spike that made A1 blew up, once this is proved right under the critique of a team of world renowed scientists whose names are kept private for the time being, we, under the light of that decision, feel free to use the black matter device once again, we believe we’re this close to control it."

If you wonder why "VCF-Mod" produce results when no cable is pluged in, it's a genius combination of the VCO and the envelope behind it. ;)

Google Doodle Featuring Minimoog Played by Clara Schumann

Bottom left. You can check it out on Google's homepage now. They have the following to say on Clara Shummann:

"A doodle for Clara seemed like an obvious choice due to her enormous talents that started when she was still just a little one. Considered a child prodigy, her first concert was at the age of 11. Upon further research we realized there was also quite an amazing story beyond what she's most widely remembered for. She was an outspoken and courageous woman who followed her heart and fought for who and what she believed in. In sixty one years of performing, she forever shaped the classical music genre and was one of the first pianists to perform by memory, setting the stage for future performers.


Beyond her own performance career, Clara was a teacher and a mentor to students. Additionally, her and her husband raised eight children while also developing their own musical careers. I knew Clara was a truly exceptional person when I read that at age 29 she marched to the front lines of the May Uprising in Dresden (one of the final events of the Revolution of 1848), straight past a group of armed men to rescue her children. She then turned around and marched right back through the pack and out of the city. She was truly a dedicated, passionate and strong-willed person and it's evident in her work, how she was with her family, and in her everyday life."

KORG M01: 'Carol of the Bells (Anthony Seeha Remix)' by Mykola Leontovych

Funny story behind this one. I was asked by a friend to perform music with my DS at a little show. On the day before the event, I realized that I still needed more Christmas-like material so I decided to work on this song non-stop for a whole day. It started out as a joke. "I'm gonna make a Christmas dubstep song!" But then it actually turned out to be pretty good... Please enjoy! =)

"SEQUENCE FOR EDUARD" ARP2600 + MAKE NOISE RENE PATCH TUTORIAL

"SEQUENCE FOR EDUARD" ARP2600 + MAKE NOISE RENE PATCH TUTORIAL from Kip Kubin on Vimeo.

"While learning my new white face Make Noise Rene I stumbled on this Ring Mod patch with some extra FM mods and decided to make a tutorial for those with Arp2600's or modules that would allow emulation.

As I was patching he sound drifted into a cross between something you'd hear on Solaris and Stalker - an ARP2600 version of what Eduard Artemyev did on those Tarkovsky films. Least it sounded that way to me.

Sorry you can't really hearth panning but it's worth the patch.

Thanks to Make Noise and those who helped invent the Rene. It's such a great complement to the ARP2600."
