This is the comparison I think most of our friends have been interested in. Our Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 is a revision 3.2 and has factory midi. It's in incredibly good condition and has been calibrated fully, thus the tuning tends to be a lot more stable than on unserviced Prophet 5's. Because of the MIDI interface we have been able to send the same MIDI sequence from the MPC 2000XL to both the Prophet 08 and the Prophet 5 simultaneously. Both synths were recorded straight into Pro Tools HD via a Precision 8 mic pre and a 192 HD IO audio interface.
Unlike the Oberheim OB 8 comparison, getting patches to sound similar between the Prophet 08 and the Prophet 5 was a lot more work. It felt many times like chasing a moving target--you would modify one synth a little and then bounce to the previous one to get it closer ... so on and so forth. However, we were again surprised by the Prophet 08's ability to get remarkably close to the general tonal characteristic of the infamous Prophet 5.
A couple of observations became apparent during the comparison: it's very very obvious that the Prophet 5 uses analog components. The VCO's move around a lot more, especially on held chords and it's not a linear movement. Even with programming, the Prophet 08 has a more predictable frequency movement. We used the slop function set to the max and it still wasn't quiet enough to get it close.
Also, this can be observed with envelope times as well. The Prophet 5 feels like each voice is somewhat discrete and exhibits slightly different envelope times for each stage (i.e. ADSR). I've simulated this somewhat by routing sample and hold to modulate the envelope stages on the Prophet 08 but it still feels somewhat "obvious" as a programming trick rather than the true discrete voicing as on the Prophet 5. That is not saying anything bad about the Prophet 08, but rather, that the 08 is a lot more precise (digital envelopes vs CEM3310...) in this department than the 5.
The UNISON mode on both synths is very very different. On the 5, it sounds a lot more dialed in especially considering gain staging whereas on the Prophet 08, provisions have to be taken to bring the VCA envelope modulation down so as not to create internal clipping. It also feels like the envelopes work differently on the 08 when in UNISON mode than on the Prophet 5. This is not a comment regarding legato/non legato modes but rather the "feel" of the envelopes themselves. However, I have heard commentary that the 08 unison is like the unison mode on the Roland Juno 106, and as a former user of a 106, I can safely say that it is nothing like that. It's just a different feeling unison mode that requires a little bit more work on the programming end.
We hope you enjoy this comparison. It was a lot of fun to record and program this."

"The ps-3 came equipped with nine timbres. most of which are the same sound through a different combination of VCF and VCA envelopes. there are then two octaves of the main oscillator that are being fed to the timbre filters; 4' and 8'. since i had freed up the VCA and VCF to manual control via the ADSR's, there was no longer any need for the nine timbre selections. instead i chose the three timbre filters that represented HP, BP, and LP best, and designated the three filters to each of the 4' and 8' voices. each timbre of the two voices can be completely attenuated to create infinite voice combinations. see the schematic for more..."
Some of you might recognize this one from the videos posted back in 2012 here. This is pretty amazing. Just look at the image above and the end result below. That is pretty spectacular in my book.

"These are the building blocks for the song I'm writing. The Modular is doing the bass line, lead synth and some click percussion. The drums are from my 'Terminal Glitch 3' Reaktor ensemble. 'Terminal Glitch' 1&2 are available from the Reaktor User library.
The Joystick is controlling the amount Ring Mod in the mix. I have used the outputs of the filters to feed the Ring Mod instead of the direct VCO outputs. This adds some interesting variations to the Ring Mod as the filters are modulated. The CGS Serge 1973 filter (top right) features heavily in this piece."

"I am very happy to share with you this film and this music, as a tribute to the creations of a young artist in haute couture, William Kerney, 'present on Facebook), who is only 18 years old and student in term year of my the high school where I teach. I composed the music and the film was built from various sources : movies and photos shot by me and members of the team who worked on this project. Photographers, assistants, hairdressers, cosmeticians, models are all students at Lycée Edouard Herriot of lyon, France.
William Kerney conceived himself all the gowns and hats, from the basis skteches to the final production, including the sewing of every clothe and worked one year on this project.
The film begins with the collections he created during the first semester of 2013, and goes on with the fashion parade he presented around his theme of masculinity and feminity, at Lycée Edouard in may 2013, during the Week of Performing Arts of this high school. It is followed, after the end credits by a bonus consisting of two interviews in french. The first one with William Kerney and his assistant Tristan Fiancette, the second one with me as a teacher of philosophy at Lycée Edouard Herriot, teacher in charge of Culture Life in this high school composer of this music, editor of this film and author of some of the images it contains, just after the fashion parade.
All sounds on Virus TI were created by me. Sounds of other real or virtual instruments are patches of these instruments : mainly Roland Phantom XR - orchestra and voices and piano expanding cards of the SRX series : SRX-02 : "Concert Piano" and SRX-O6, "Complete Orchestra" and SRX - and also feminine choirs from Voices of Passion by Eastwest. At the end of the composition he created a special sound on Alchemy by Camel Audio and played it myself (see below) during the final part of the composition : it is not a sequence nor an automatic pulsation.

Roger Powell's One of a Kind Controller Finds its Way Home to the BMF
via The Bob Moog Foundation.
"Pioneering synthesist Roger Powell recently donated his custom keyboard controller to the Bob Moog Foundation Archives. In a special post dedicated to the controller, BMF Archive and Education Specialist Marc Doty explores the unique history and functionality of this one-off design created by Bob Moog himself.
Interested in donating your piece of history to the Bob Moog Foundation? Please contact us at info@moogfoundation.org."
From the article (do check out the full post for the history and full story. The following focuses only on the features): "Bob and Roger worked together to create a keyboard controller that could harness the power of two modular synthesizers in real-time through a single, convenient interface. A challenge was to do this while meeting Powell’s requirements for advanced controls over the dynamic and expressive qualities of the sound. The controller began its life as a Moog 951 keyboard, but a lot of features were added. The custom controller’s features included:
Two keyboard manuals, allowing independent patches on the two modular synthesizers to be played at the same time.A pitch wheel.
A modulation wheel.
Individual scale, range, portamento settings, and portamento switches were installed for each manual. These could set for each keyboard individually, or combined to control both keyboards at the same time.
A built-in mixer section with four faders, to manage the sound of the two synths. This custom Bob Moog-designed mixer allowed Roger to easily manage the loudness of various patches and effects he was using in a live setting.
A volume control for the Echoplex delay unit Roger used with the system.
A VU meter for measuring the relative amplitude of the synthesizer output.
A headphone jack, headphone volume, and output on/off switch that allowed Roger to preview tuning and patch changes before making them audible to the audience.
Two “accessory” ports for a Ribbon Controller and a standalone Sample/Hold module.
The keyboard module interfaced with the modular systems through a special cable and connector port. This cable carried the control voltages from the two manuals, accessories, and modulation/pitch wheels and distributed them to the proper synthesizer modules. The cable also had several tracks of audio return which came back into the keyboard from the audio output of the modular; their loudness was individually controlled by the Bob Moog custom-designed mixer. The total output of the synthesizer, came out of the system’s Line Level Out XLR jack."

"Festival Oscillations
SESC Vila Mariana
Apresentação:
O termo “música eletrônica” é associado, principalmente nos dias de hoje, à raves e pistas de dança do mundo inteiro. Mas nem sempre foi assim. Houve um período no qual as coisas eram bem diferentes e o termo era utilizado quase que exclusivamente de forma acadêmica nas faculdades de música, que tinham entre seus mestres nomes que trabalhavam com estruturas musicais mais radicais e inovadoras, geralmente utilizando tecnologias recém inventandas e ainda em desenvolvimento. O período que vai desde as primeiras experiências com geradores de som construídos eletrônicamente e o uso destes aparatos para gerar ritmos dançantes é tão grande e tão cheio de mistérios que merece ser estudado com mais profundidade e, somente com estes estudos e o acesso do ouvinte à eles, entenderemos melhor a evolução pela qual a música moderna passou no ultimo século, acarretando inclusive mudanças sociais e comportamentais importantíssimas para a humanidade. Ao trazermos ao Brasil nomes como Herbert Deutsch, Harald Grosskopf, Hans-Joachim Roedelius e Silver Apples, não só realizamos um festival inovador - nunca antes realizado no nosso país - como também trazemos uma parte importante e (ainda) não devidamente documentada da música mundial!
Participantes do Festival Oscillations:
Herbert Deutsch – O compositor, arranjador e inventor norte-americano Herbert Deutsch - nascido no início da década de 30 - foi o grande nome ao lado de Robert Moog na invenção do sintetizador. Foi ele quem procurou o doutor Moog com a idéia de um novo instrumento baseado nos estudos de osciladores controlados por voltagem, já em andamento nas pesquisas de Robert Moog. Herbert Deutsch foi parte importante na confecção do protótipo numero um do sintetizador Moog, instrumento que mudou completamente a forma como a música passou a ser criada e apreciada nas últimas 5 décadas. Desde o início dos anos 60, ele tem se dedicado a lecionar nas cadeiras de Musica Eletrônica e Composição na Hofstra University, em Nova York. Herbert Deutsch apresentará sua famosa palestra/concerto/demonstração “From Moog to Mac”, que abrange desde seus primeiros experimentos com música eletrônica, ainda nos anos 50, até suas mais recentes pesquisas na área, passando pela invenção do sintetizador em 1964. Herbert utilizará instrumentos originais para suas demonstrações no auditório do SESC Vila Mariana.
Harald Grosskopf - Nascido no final dos anos 40, na cidade de Hildesheim (Alemanha), Harald Grosskopf é, desde o início da sua carreira artística no começo dos anos 70, um dos músicos mais atuantes da sua geração. Participou de mais de 100 discos de bandas e artistas importantes do chamado "krautrock", como Wallenstein, Cosmic Jokers, Ashra Tempel, Klaus Schulze e Walter Wegmüller, entre outros. Em 1980, Harald Grosskopf lançou seu clássico LP “Synthesist” (relançado recentemente pelo selo norte-americano Rvng Intl), além de atuar como músico na banda de apoio da cantora Lili Berlin, na primeira metade dos anos 80. Nos anos 90 e 2000, Harald participou de projetos ao lado do também músico e produtor alemão Steve Baltes (Sunya Beat e N-tribe), além de dedicar-se à sua carreira solo e também retornar à banda Ash Ra, onde permanece até hoje. Harald Grosskopf tem 6 discos solo lançados, sendo o mais recente uma nova roupagem do álbum “Synthesist” (1980), agora renomeado “Synthesist 2010” (Rvng Intl).
Hans-Joachim Roedelius - Hans-Joachim Roedelius é um dos principais nomes do "krautrock" (como era chamado o rock e a música eletrônica/experimental feita na Alemanha nos anos 60 e 70) e também pode ser considerado um dos principais e mais criativos pioneiros de várias subdivisões da música eletrônica, da "ambient" ao "industrial", devido à originalidade dos projetos e bandas nas quais foi integrante ao longo de 45 anos de carreira. Fundador do trio Kluster - ao lado de Conrad Schnitzler (ex-Tangerine Dream) e de Dieter Moebius -, do Cluster (com Moebius) e do Harmonia (com Moebius e Michael Rother, ex-Kraftwerk), Roedelius é um dos experimentadores mais sutis (e ao mesmo tempo um dos mais radicais) dentro das suas áreas de atuação, sendo citado como influência de nomes como o produtor Brian Eno, com quem Roedelius gravou 3 álbuns nos anos 70 ("Tracks and Traces", gravado pelo Harmonia em 1976, "Cluster & Eno" e "After the heat", ambos gravados por Roedelius, Moebius and Eno em 1977).
Silver Apples - Influência tanto para apreciadores da música eletrônica - aquela feita nos primórios, com equipamentos analógicos e sem toda a tecnologia "facilitadora" de hoje em dia - como para fãs do rock experimental que se fazia nos anos 60, o Silver Apples é uma das bandas mais interessantes da história da música mundial. Formada na segunda metade dos anos 60, a dupla original era constituida pelo baterista Danny Taylor e por Simeon Coxe III, executando uma parafernália eletrônica inacreditável na época (Simeon chegou a utilizar nove osciladores de áudio controlados por um mecanismo no qual ele utilizava as mãos, os pés e até os joelhos e cotovelos para tocar ao vivo). Nesta época a dupla gravou três discos imprescindíveis em qualquer coleção: "Silver Apples" (1968), "Contact" (1969) e "The Garden" (gravado em 1969, mas lançado somente em 1998), álbuns que colocaram os Silver Apples para sempre na história da música como uma das primeiras bandas eletrônicas de todos os tempos, antecipando inclusive toda a revolução eletrônica capitaneada pelo Kraftwerk e outras bandas alemãs na década seguinte. Hoje em dia, Simeon Coxe III mantém o legado da dupla vivo (apesar do falecimento de Danny Taylor em 2005), se apresentando nos maiores festivais de música do mundo! O Silver Apples se apresenta pela segunda vez no palco do SESC Vila Mariana.

Hertz Donut MkII Eurorack Module
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Awesome module, in like new condition - used very lightly for a brief time.
dual digital oscillator with dynamic-depth thru-zero frequency modulation.
the original small-format digital oscillator returns. hertz donut mark ii is an entire re-imagining of the concept, with significant improvements in every way. a new 16-bit digital audio system delivers high-frequency performance, and the user interface provides direct access to all operational modes with a minimum of button presses.
hertz donut features two independently functioning digital oscillators with wide frequency ranges. an internal bus enables full-bandwidth, high-index modulation of oscillator frequency, wavefolder drive, tracking phase, and amplitude, with the modulation signal appropriately conditioned for each destination. nearly all voltage control nodes feature "attenuverters" for bipolar modulation of the main parameters by an external voltage. internal and external frequency module is thru-zero.
the wavefolder has three modes depicted by the color of led on the selector button. the "orange" mode is the xor-based "fractal" waveshaper known from the original hertz donut, improved. the "red" and "green" modes are traditional dynamic-drive nonlinear lookup tables, selected for their wide range of available tones. the oscillator outputs sine, triangle, and sawtooth waves, each offering distinct behavior when routed through each of the wavefolders.
the tracking controller "closes the loop" by instructing the modulating oscillator to follow the frequency of the primary. two modes accomplish this quickly, with optional offset from the base frequency. phase modulation of the waveform is possible, whether manual, under voltage control, or through the internal audio-rate modulation bus. a third tracking mode introduces delay and wandering behavior to the tracking, with the time constant under user control. circular modulation in these modes is the key to the most bizarre, unrepeatable sounds this module is capable of generating.
the center audio output is the exclusive disjunction of the others.

SYNOVATRON CVGT1 EURO BUCHLA TRANSLATOR
via this auction
Video at the listing and previously posted here.
"The Synovatron CVGT1 (control voltage gate trigger module 1) is a eurorack to buchla™ translator module; it is designed to allow control signal integration between eurorack synths and buchla™ synths; or any 4mm banana socketed synth for that matter (e.g. serge™ , bugbrand™ ). it is not just a format jumbler; it has signal conversion circuitry for both control voltage (cv) and timing signals (gate, trigger, clock, pulse).
it is bidirectional; allowing both synths to send and receive signals to and from each other.
the cv translation channels use precisely scaled conversion electronics allowing eurorack modules (1v/octave) to control and to be controlled by synths with 1v/octave, 1.2v/octave and 2v/octave scaling. eurorack has a bipolar cv range (up to ±10v) whereas buchla™ has a unipolar 0-10v cv range; hence there is an offset switch to allow the scaled cv to be shifted into range if required but note that not all euro generated cv signals are bipolar and those don't need offsetting e.g. adsr and quantiser outputs. there is a tell-tale led that lets you know if the output goes out of the buchla's range.
the timing translation part allows euro gates, triggers and clocks to be converted to 10v buchla™ pulses including the unique to buchla™ tri-state 0-10v leading edge trigger with 5v sustain. conversely buchla™ timing signals can be converted back to euro compatible gates, clocks and triggers. the timing inputs (pulse in, trig in and gate in) have comparator front-ends allowing any shape and size of signal to be used provided it goes through the switching threshold.
the front panel has buchla™ sympathetic front panel graphics and connector color coding.
Specifications:
· current consumption: 20ma max – 5v is not required
· 8 hp (40.3mm); pcb depth 33mm, 46mm at ribbon connector
· power consumption: +12v @ 20ma max, -12v @ 10ma max, +5v is not used
· a-100 bus utilisation: ±12v and 0v only; +5v, cv and gate are not used
· full specification in the comprehensive user manual."

via the seller: "about this particular piece this was my first ever Vintage Synthesizer It was purchased by me from Athens Greece and Shipped to the United States I had always wanted one ever since I first got into music equipment and Vintage Synthesizers everything functions as it should no dead keys all the pots work,I've kept good care of this synthesizer, keeping it in a nice Road Runner Case in a temperature controlled environment , only taking it out for record sessions and putting it carefully back in the case, for being 30+ years old this keyboard is still capable of amazing sounds! I used it quite frequently on some albums we were working on and there was just no limit to the number of sounds I could record from it. the wave samples under a oscilloscope or on a computer wave screen are something to behold feed it into a Reverb or Delay even better!"

Voice bot for iOS Now Available
voice bot - robot, monkey, mexican, cat beard
Published on May 27, 2013 humbletune·50 videos
"This is my little test song for voice bot, sorry Imogen Heap for borrowing a few chords from you. This is a channel vocoder I have been working on, and I have been going back and forth, if I should release it or not. The reason mostly being that it takes a bit of effort from the user. Clearest I think the sound gets if you speak slow and articulate, in this sample though I kind of more sang, dragging some of the letters. Also, a mix of your voice and the vocoder could work too.
Well, I have decided to submit it anyway, I think it makes some cool sounds. It should be available soon and it won't be too expensive."
It is available now:
voice bot - Erik Sigth
"Voice bot is a real time channel vocoder. Using the microphone, your voice modulates the synth resulting in a robot like singing voice. The synth engine, also known as the carrier, comes with the oscillator shapes saw, square, pulse and noise and a pitch lfo. For the modulation part of the engine there is amplification settings for 8 frequency bands, frame smudge and sample rate, delay and flanger. There is also a minimalistic sampler and support for midi keys and Audiobus.

Korg Volca Beats and Bass gets Mangled by Elektron Octatrack
Published on Jul 8, 2013 MrDataline·57 videos
"Elektron Octatrack real-time sampling and mangling the Korg Volca units. http://www.elektron.se/products/octat...
I wanted to show how the Elektron Octatrack can take any audio and manipulate it in real time. Korg Volca Beats and Bass are routed into the Octatrack's stereo inputs separately. By pressing YES on the Octatrack, I can capture the incoming audio and start mangling and re-arranging the recorded loop on the Octatrack. Sending MIDI out from Octatrack into Volca Beats and sync out into the Volca Bass.
I have created 2 Parts inside the Octatrack. Part 1 has got THRU machines where I can add FX to incoming audio. Part 2 has 2 Flex recording buffers assigned to it. So, I record the incoming audio on Part 1 and start manipulating the recording on Part 2.
Personally, I found the Volca Beats very limiting and the overall sound is not for me. The Bass one however is satisfying...
But for the price of them you can't go wrong.

Kōbō Abe's EMS Synthi AKS
video upload by ozashikiTECHNO
Update: Re-Uploaded Jan 24, 2022
安部公房、愛用のEMSシンセサイザーを前に音楽を語る。1985年
Kobo Abe talks about music in front of his favorite EMS synthesizer, 1985.
translated a bit :
"...while working on a theater piece, when you commission music to a composer, it arrives at the last moment. In the worst case it arrives for stage rehearsals. For me it doesn't function if I don't have music beforehand. I'm not a specialist but equiped myself to try somehow. For my pieces I make sound myself since sometime now. I make samples and assemble them. Sometimes this machine produces interesting sounds. Let me try... seems like a bell sound isn't it? beautiful...this is how I proceed."

Published on Jul 8, 2013 Phisynth·79 videos
"The only sound sources here are the Tetrax oscillators. They are sequenced by the Serge TKB then run through the WAD, and later through a BugBrand PT Delay.
Watch out for real Tetrax craziness around 3:25.
This little device is tons of fun, besides being ultra playable and reactive ! Plays nicely with his bananafriends too :bananaguitar:"
