A LinnDrum Brought Back to Life

November Group "Put Your Back To It"

Uploaded on Jan 7, 2009 by tuneup89 - The track is from 1984.

Along the lines of the recent post in via Pea Hicks on the story of a Roland MC-8, we have a story of the actual LinnDrum used in the track for the video above by November Group.  That's the LinnDrum pictured to the left. This one comes in via XBS where you'll find the full post.

"The Linndrum we have has a long and illustrious lineage! It was originally owned by a good friend of mine who is now a great painter ( Alvan Long )! He is also a drummer and was in several boston bands long before my time! Here’s a Pure No Wave Gem from one of those bands called The November Group"

The bad news is it sat unused for 15 years with leaking battery and blown caps.  The good news is it was brought back to life by Forat.  Click through above for more pics and the full post.

KrassesZeug - Tweaking the knobs of my DIY Synthesizer

Eurorack Modular with Oberheim Voice Board & Moog 24 dB Ladder Filter

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

"This synth is pretty rare, sounds great and contains Oberheim technology. It uses the same chip set found in early Oberheim synths like the OB-Xa. The Oberheim logo is printed on the voicecards inside the synth. It also sounds like a 'real Oberheim'. If you like using modular gear, and like the sound of classic vintage synths like OB-1, OB-Xa, OB-8 etc, you won´t be dissapointed.

2 x VCO
Coarse & fine Tune, range from ultra-low to ultra-high-(non-audible)frequency
PW & PWM knobs
Output: Saw, Triangle, Pulse
Input: CV, FM, SYNC, PWM
- Curtis CEM 3340, from Oberheim OB-Xa

1 x MOOG VCF
Cutoff, Emphasis, CV, Contour knobs
Output: Signal
Input: Signal, CV, Modulation, Envelope
- Great sounding 24db MOOG Clone, self-oscillating

1 x OBERHEIM VCF
Cutoff, Resonance, CV, Env. knobs
Output: Signal
Input: CV, Res. CV, Modulation, Envelope
- I´m not a fan of this filter, it doesn`t fully cutoff the signal, doesn´t quite reach self-oscillation. Does have voltage controlled resonance, though.

2x LFO
Frequency & level knobs
Output: Saw, Triangle, Square

2 x ADSR
- very fast, snappy attack, great for percussive sounds

2 x VCA
- Curtis CEM 3310, from OB-Xa

1 x RINGMODULATOR
Level knob
X & Y Inputs, Signal output

1 X SPEECH-MOD
Frequency & Intensity knobs
Range, Chop-on, Mod-on, triangle/sine and FM-Source Switches
2 Signal In, 1 Output
- great for extreme, weird, screaming, metallic sounds

2 X MIXER (3 in 1)

1 x BINARY DIVIDER
= Sub-oscillator, 4-way switch

1 x NOISE (white noise only)

4 x MULTIPLE/INTERFACE
- two of these are hardwired to the CV and GATE-channel of the MIDI Interface
- the other two allow interfacing with standard 6,3mm cables.

1 X SLEW LIMITER
= Glide

1 X MIDI INTERFACE
= Doepfer A-191, modified with banana-jack output for CV 2. CV1 and Gate are internally hardwired to multiples 1 and 2.

Things that don´t work as they should:
1. the level knob on LFO 2 only levels the triangle output
2. the Y-input of the ringmodulator doesn´t work. Not a big problem since I will include a spare RINGMODULATOR Module. Identical to the one installed in the System. It used to sit where the MIDI-Interface is now. It comes untested, and you have to install it yourself

optical condition: a few scratches are visible, on sides and top.

One more thing, not a problem but something you should know:
both oscillators offer SYNC. When syncing VCO 2 to VCO 1 you get the "classic" hardsync sounds you might remember from synths like Prophet 5, Jupiter 8, OB-8 etc. When syncing VCO 1 to VCO 2 you get a different sound - more like cross-modulation. So both inputs are labeled "sync", but seem to offer different kinds of sync - maybe one offers hard-sync, the other soft-sync.

This System uses the 1/Volt Octave standard, so interfacing with most other modular gear is no problem. However this system uses banana jacks. Cables are included (as seen in the pictures). Connection with 6,3 mm standard cables is possible when using one of the four interface/multiple modules..."

Akai EWI USB XPression Rotator Improv

Published on Dec 13, 2012 by Bernie Kenerson

"An impromtu afternoon improv using my Akai EWIUSB into my XPression by www.dynasample.com with the new Rotator feature. My audio and MIDI/thru from the XPression are going into my MacBook Pro with Live 8. Live 8 has the jazz drum loops on a track, an XPression audio track, and a MIDI thru playing a Live factory preset with Instant EWI on a MIDI track. I change from the Rotator patch to a Synth Trumpet patch (still mixed with the Live Analog Synth) on the XPression from the Programmer 3 & 4 buttons. I can't wait to do this live with a real drummer! XPression is a must have for any EWI (wind/breath controller) player and it just keeps getting better!"

Dub Siren / Rasta Reggae Circuit Bent Analog Synth / FX Box w/ iPod, Guitar, Mic Input !

[Dr. Blankenstein on eBay (RSS)]

This synth / fx processor starts out rather simple with 3 animal noises (elephant call, monkey screams, and lion growl) you can play from the sound bank. Each sound is looped and can easily be played from the red momentary switches. The sounds can then be pitch shifted by using the control knob in the "Pitch Kontrol" section. Located next to the pitch knob is TWO body contacts, touch the first one and add a low frequency oscillation to the sound.... touch both and also control the pitch! You can get amazing dub siren noises, strange synth drones and even BASS LINES out of performing with just the sample loops.

Next we have probably the most exciting part of this piece... The "JAH EFFECTS" section. Click the effects processor on and suddenly an entirely new sonic palette is opened up for the sound banks samples. The effects filter can be controlled by clicking the control switch to "TURN" and using either the knob or set of body contacts to change the amount and pitch of the filter. Click the control switch to "WAVE" and you activate the motion / light sensor! You can then use your hand or a light source to change the fx filters depth / pitch.

It gets even better! Next to the "JAH EFFECTS" section we see the "FX Ins" inputs... here we can use the 1/8" input to connect audio devices such as iPhones, iPods and cell phones to the "Jah Effects"! There is also a 1/4" mono input for guitar, mic, keyboard or anything else you want to plug in. Anything you plug into these inputs will then be filtered by the Jah Effects! Again, use the knob, body contacts or MOTION to control the effect!

Sadly, this piece will probably be a one off. I could build another one if I had to, but I had no intention when starting this piece for it to turn out so crazy. That being said, A LOT of time went into this piece... I feel it's some of my best work to date. I am excited someone will be adding it to their custom setup! Make sure to check out the demo video below, I try to cover most of the features and sounds pretty thoroughly. A truly one of a kind piece, indeed.

Atari Punk Console Deluxe v2.0... Pretty much a super Atari stylized APC with a TON of tricked out features. There are two photo Theremin style motion / light sensors to control the sound, as well as a control switches to use a classic APC knob setup. Each light sensor can be turned on and off independently.

To add even more weird control to this sucker I have added SIX BODY contacts that allow for some pretty cool sound manipulation (see video below). Two of the body contacts are running through a specially designed Germanium Diode circuit that you will ONLY find on Dr. Blankenstein's APC Deluxe V2.0.

There is also a 1/8" Control Voltage (C.V.) Input so that it can be sequenced with an analog sequencer / modular synth setup or even modulate the sound by connecting a piezo trigger to it... fun stuff! :)

Another exciting addition to version v2 is the On / Off Momentary switch on the top of the piece, this allows the player to rhythmically stutter in the sound in! Of course there is still the standard On / Off power switch by the Atari logo as well. The side knob controls the master volume, and their is a 1/4" output jack on the back of the unit.

All in all... this is one of the nicest built, most feature stocked, MOST PLAYABLE VERSION OF THE ATARI PUNK CONSOLE out there today. But don't take my word for it... watch the video. Point is, this is NOT your grandmothers APC! :)

"Showing off the new machined base plates I made for the ABG and Nebulaphone kit builds.

Had some fun syncing the IR units on these two.

Nebulaphone is going thru the Synth Tech E560, modded by the Wogglebug slow CV.

ABG is going thru the Korg KP3 effect with a motion pad recorded.

Wogglebug woggle audio straight out.

Doepfer R2M to a single square wave voice, no filter.

For my friend Ted the Spaceman."

Technosaurus Synth Fun


Published on Dec 13, 2012

"Technosaurus Microcon I, Microcon II, Effexon and Cyclodon small wonders series syths, effects and sequencer.

All Technosaurus, no effects other than the Effexon in the first segment.

All analog synths from Swiss creator Juerg Oldani. Late 80's to early 90's manufactured.

Had this set up for sale on ebay, no bidders, so I am gonna keep them. Don't they sound great?"
