Buchla 223e Ring Jam


YouTube Uploaded by djangosfire on Jan 14, 2012

"Just a little Buchla Jam - Main VCO is the 258v. The 223e is used as an Arpeggiator and as a transposing keyboard...... also covering some manual mixing duties too. Heavy CV processing via the 256e this time around . . . it was needed to mix/route control signals between the 291e & 292e used in series. Panning via 292e + 281e AND the 206e as well."

Holst Mars on Sound Lab Mark II and ULTIMATE


YouTube Uploaded by theraywilsonshow on Jan 14, 2012
Ray Wilson is the man behind Music From Outer Space aka MFOS. This is one of his videos.

"This is multi-track MIDI driving MIDI to CV which drives the Sound Lab Mark II and the Sound Lab ULTIMATE. All MIDI was broken down to mono tracks and each played through the MIDI to CV convertor. I set each patch to what I thought sounded good in the position and I think in the end it seems to work. I tweaked and tweaked and tweaked and... I'll stop there. ALL sounds are purely from the MIDI driven synths. Reverb was applied during mix down. I'll stop there. I used SONAR Producer to mix down the tracks (well over 60 stereo) and I think that along with the video it's decently cool. I forgot to mention that I designed and built the synthesizers. If you want to build one go to musicfromouterspace with a dot and then the obligatory com for plans and PC boards.

Remember it's only a hobby but making music with synths is what got me into it so very long ago. Gustav Holst has fired my imagination since I first heard "The Planets". If you haven't heard it by a symphony you don't know what you're missing. I really hope you think of this as true "Music From Outer Space"

Cheers All"

via http://www.fcjudd.co.uk/ :

"In early British electronic music history, FC Judd is not the only overlooked and little discussed composer working in the late 1950s and 60s – in fact he is one of a number now largely forgotten. His unacknowledged importance hinges on a wide range of electronic activities – from his compositions, self-built synthesizer and sound visualisation system – to his books, magazine articles, radio broadcasts and lectures to amateur tape recording clubs up and down the country. Fred was the prime mover in disseminating electronic sounds and musique concrete to the general public – not just encouraging them to listen, but moreover to experiment for themselves with tape recorders and tone generators.

Frederick Charles Judd was born in 1914 in Woodford, east London, and like so many youngsters of his generation developed an early and abiding passion for radio. With the outbreak of WW2 he served in the RAF Coastal Command working with highly secret radar equipment, just as electronic music pioneer Tristram Cary was engaged in similar work in the Royal Navy. Both men were later in contact, and used their skilled engineering backgrounds to develop their musical interests through electronics. Fred had no formal musical training though he was competent on guitar and organ, and it appears that the combination of music, radio, tape recording and circuitry inevitably drew him to experimenting with electronic music during the mid-1950s."

Hollow Sun Steampunk MUSIC LABORATORY MACHINES SUITE

via Hollow Sun

"As the popularity of the Music Laboratory Machines continues to grow, many have requested the facility to buy all of them as a bundle so this is just such an opportunity with the advantage of a modest discount on buying them individually.

The bundle includes Oscillosine, Organa, Broken, Interference Generator, TriOsc, Techtron, Shangri La, Novalite, Modular Toolkit and Cognosphere and, as a special bonus, the Dotcom Xmas Special is also thrown in for good measure. A total of eleven unique and intriguing Kontakt 4 instruments. This represents not just great value but provides a massive palette of sounds to be exploited in your music.

Despite their unashamed and bold oddness and eccentricity, the Music Laboratory Machines are suitable for almost any genre of contemporary music and are a sound designer's wet dream with the sonic capabilites they offer. They are also ideal tools for movie, TV, library music and games scorers to bring something different to the table.

Hollow Sun's Music Laboratory Machines represent not just innovative GUI design and sound design possibilities but are also great value for money. This bundle brings all of these instruments into one neat 1.5GB package that'll also save you a few of the Queen's shillings as well....

Which is not to be sniffed at in this day and age!"

CLOUT! : ALAN SUGAR VS. SANTA IN SPACE


YouTube Uploaded by CLOUTmusictv on Jan 14, 2012

"Here is a piece created by CLOUT! made using a Korg Mono/poly and Synare 3. Advantages of the Korg for this particular track are the synths ability to play polyphony and it's 4 oscillators, which allow for a very rich and luscious timbre.

Alan Sugar has a gun, but knows Santa in space has magic powers and can melt his gun. So Alan sugar is basically blaggin' the whole thing. Alan Sugar's second weapon is money; so he throws money at Santa in space. Santa is having none of it. Alan Sugar ends up sacrificing himself to Santa in space's power, shooting himself in the chestnuts.
Alan Sugar's burst sperm sacks got his money wet. Not only was he a dead man, he also remained a very poor man...
Nobody likes a spunky tennar."

"I recently bought the Camera Connection Kit for my iPad and an ESI MIDIMATE II MIDI interface which has two cable which both can function as out- or input. And here a video using Little MIDI Machine sequencer App on the iPad. One ESI MIDI cable is connected to the Creamware MiniMax ASB which MIDI Thru is connected to the Waldorf Q Keyboard. The green 16-step sequence screen is driving the MiniMax and the orange 8-step one the Q. The second ESI MIDI cable is connected to the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer to synchronize it. The 8-step sequence on row 1 of the MAQ16/3 is driving the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which is driving the Blacet Miniwave. The 4-step sequence on row 2 is driving the self-built Modular. The gate of row 3 is shifting the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer which has an 8-step sequence for the bass with only step 1 active on the Q963 trigger bus and later on also step 7. The Mellotron flute sound is played on the Roland XP-80 and the solo on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

The video is filmed by my girlfriend Anne using my iPhone 4."

However the buyer should know:

This unit predates MIDI [was built between 1982-1984] and will require a technician to complete the build we started for the MIDI to EVU converter, as planned here: http://www.hermannseib.com/english/synths/ppg/midiretro.htm

All of the parts, veroboard circuit, and new OS ROMs are included.
Sale includes the following:

(1) PPG EVU Expansion Voice Unit: 4u rack module with 8 independent outs, volume & pan controls; PPG Bus I/O, Tape SYNC I/O and Pedal input

NAMM: MICROMAC 1 TEST 2 + Korg SQ-10 Sequencer


YouTube Uploaded by macbethsynthesizers on Jan 14, 2012

"Here we see the MacBeth X-Series Micromac in action again. One reason to include 3 Oscillators in any synth (and give them separate CV inputs) is to have the ability to play them all seperately! Here I use a Korg SQ-10 Sequencer to drive Oscillators 2 + 3 and use the Mk1 Vortex Keyboard synth to drive Oscillator 1 as well as the sequence! I guess this is pretty unique amoungst the desktop synths! Amazing that this sound comes out a very small synthesizer...! Again- it has to be said- this project and this format began well over a year ago!"
