Vako Orchestron, Model C

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction
"Designed as a superior alternative to the Mellotron, the Orchestron is fully polyphonic and operates on principle of modulated light measured by photoelectric cells... The Vako Orchestron elevated the concept of the Optigan into the professional musical instrument market with higher quality, more reliable parts and construction. Similarly, the Orchestron uses optical disks loaded with waveforms that are read by a light bar reader and turned into sound. The result of higher-quality parts and better build is a unique mix of really nice lo-fi sounding orchestral strings, chorus, brass, and other sonic possibilities with much better playability. It can be heard on the Yes album "Relayer" and the Foreigner hit song "Cold As Ice"... and has also been used by Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, Michael Penn, Semisonic and other recording artists over the years. Less than 100 Orchestrons were produced and it is estimated that less than forty remain in existence today. The Orchestron is revered and very sought after by vintage keyboard enthusiasts for the murky atmospheric sounds it produces and is very inspiring to play and improvise on.

It comes with 6 valuable, original disks easily worth $100-200 each: Vocal Choir (2 discs), Flute, Violin, Cello and Pipe Organ [note: most of the pictures shows only five of the discs, but the gallery photo shows all six discs]. This vintage Orchestron is currently UNTESTED, DOES NOT TURN ON, AND IS SOLD AS-IS WITH NO RETURNS NOR WARRANTEE. It might have incurred water damage in the past, as I see mildew on the back of the case, so that's likely related to why it doesn't turn on, and so it is probably a parts machine."

YouTube Published on Apr 18, 2012 by dubbilan

"telePort is a live performance oriented music program available as a free prototype at http://www.juvul.com

This particular video is a live demonstration of one possible way of playing the set that is built from scratch during Tutorial 1 - 15!

It lets you integrate hardware and software instruments as one advanced combined, programmable and morphable instrument. Bringing a modular approach to (augmented) sequencing and mixing while at the same making it easy switching between completely different songs/tracks or changing the modules up independently as the music is playing. The goal being creating a very flexible music system where you can have a whole set, not just a song, at your fingertips and improvise or play structured parts based on rules you define freely."

JONO Software Musical Instrument Inspired by Modulars


"JONO is a software musical instrument inspired by modular synthesizers. By providing mixture of classical and experimental elements it can serve as an interesting addition to your setup or as a standalone tool."

The sound starts with pair of oscillators, modulated by the layered LFO and the sequencer. Each oscillator has a couple of ranges and waveshapes, but the real treat is the LFO modulation, which allows you to mix three different LFOs into patterns and rhythms in a very simple yet powerful interface enhanced by the oscilloscope.

The mix of these oscillators passes through the state-variable filter, which is modulated by yet another layered LFO, offering three standard filter functions - lowpass, highpass and bandpass.

At the end of the signal chain you can find a stereo echo and a recorder - for recording short bits of your work right away, without connecting additional software.

The sequencer works as you expect it to - providing control over the amount of steps, variable loop length and the speed for each sequence (two sequencers for two oscillators).."

Check out the wheel controls on it. It's not clear if this one is additive based or if the wheels adjust timbre. The description from ruskeys.net implies it's capable of more than just organ sounds as well: "Junost-70 is a multi-voice instrument. The voices can be changed, depending on the genre of a performed work and the will of a performer, with the help of knobs of the octave sound synthesis. In such a case, sounds from one or several octaves are added in different proportion to a basic sound, which makes it possible to smoothly vary a timbre colour over a wide range, providing sounds that are characteristic for various genres, from pop and folk music to organ works. It may be used as an accompanying or solo instrument, depending on the will of a performer. The device is equipped with a "glissando" unit, which is switched on by the button situated in the lower part of the case. The volume control is carried out with the help of a foot pedal."

If anyone knows what this is capable of, feel free to chime in.

Max Mathews Radio Baton Demonstration


YouTube Uploaded by ComputerHistory on Jul 16, 2010

"[Recorded: April 7, 2010]
In the late 1950s computer music pioneer Dr. Max Mathews created MUSIC, the first widely used music synthesis program while working in the Acoustic Research Group at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Over the next forty years at Bell Labs and then at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University, Mathews advanced and refined digital computer music synthesis.
In this video Mathews describes and demonstrates his Radio Baton Controller and Conductor software program and performs brief selections by Bach, Chopin, Beethoven and Appleton.
A Radio Baton is an electronic instrument with two baton controllers and a receiving base called the antenna. In the end of each baton is a small radio transmitter. As the batons are moved over the receiving base, four antennas in the base are able to determine the batons' location in three-dimensional space. The movement of the batons through space are converted into instructions determining how the music is to be synthesized.
The Radio Baton Conductor Model uses the model of an orchestra conductor controlling the musical tempo, dynamics and expression of the piece. The Conductor program puts the pitches and the durations of the notes in a score that the computer reads as a sequence of beats in the computer memory. The conductor can move the batons around with his two hands, controlling six variables, and assign these variables to whatever functions in the music are important at any instant of the music.
When asked if the radio baton was a successful instrument, Mathews answered, 'I suspect actually it was too successful. It may have made music too easy to play. But my vision there, and the vision I think I got from John Chowning was that everyone could have his own orchestra and could interpret music according to his particular feelings about it. And that this might be a much more satisfying way than simply sitting and listening to a recording or simply listening to a concert in a concert hall.'"

Roland System100m Drone - Another


YouTube Published on Apr 20, 2012 by nvanzoeren

"Another drone from my system100m.

Its just the system100m you hearing. I made a stereo patch and the left channel goes thru a Ibanez AD202 and the right channel is going thru a Ibanez UE405 of which i only use the delay. At the end of the signal i push it through a Fostex stereo spring-verb. The whole patch is build around 3 sounds. The first is a pink-noise thru the phaser and audio-delay to create the pseudo-stereo effect on it. The second sound is a ring-mod percussive sound which get triggers thru a gate-delay which makes it pretty unpredictable. And the last sound is the "melody" type of sound, build up from 3 oscillators on which each one has it own LFO on the CV-in. Giving each oscillator his own LFO was a idea i saw in the dwanatron.

Hope you guys enjoy it, so sit back, put on those headphones, press play, close your eyes and listen. Thanks"
