Eberhard Schoener and the 2nd Moog Synthesizer Returned From John Lennon

via Astronauta Pinguim where you'll find a five question interview with Eberhard Schoener.

"In the late '60s, Eberhard Schoener set up the Bavaria-Studios for Electronic Music, and he was also one of the first musicians in Germany to purchase a Moog Synthesizer (the same Moog that later appeared in records by Popol Vuh and Klaus Schulze). In 1971, Eberhard Schoener released "Destruction of Harmony", a record in which he recreates pieces from Bach and Vivaldi using his Moog Synthesizer..."

Regarding the Moog modular:

"ASTRONAUTA - You had one of the first (if not the first one) Modular Moog Synthesizer in Germany. How and when did you purchase that?

SCHOENER - Actually it was Moog No. 2 and it returned from John Lennon. He influenced me a lot and for years it was one of my favourite instruments."

I'm curious if this is the same system used by George Harrison:

via this auction

via the seller/listing: "This synth has some nice modifications added, including extra CV IN jacks along the lines of the after market modifications that are popular on the Arp Avatars. A pitch bending knob has been added - this is the easiest way to adjust the intonation n the fly...much easier than retuning using the slider switches and also more practical than the pressure sensing bend pushbuttons. Five switches have been added to the face of the instrument. Several are “multipliers” which expand the range of the slider they are next to, like the one for the portamento slider. One or two of them are “reverse polarity” switches, like the one for the ADSR gate. On the input panel a number of CV IN jacks have been added. I’ve tested one or two of them with an external CV voltage source and the ones I tested work…I didn’t take the time to figure them all out because I didn’t use them for my playing, but it would be easy for the Buyer to figure this out. My guess is that these were added by a professional because they are very neatly positioned and the switches are very carefully placed and so neatly done they look as if they were factory installed. There is a also a MIDI jack which I tested once; I don’t think it works correctly, it DID produce a response from the synth (single, unchanging note?) but it didn’t play music. The MIDI and CVs weren’t important for my use, so I haven’t experimented with them much..."

TouchKeys Multi-Touch DIY Touch Sensor Kit on Kickstarter



Some details via Kickstarter here:

"Add continuous expressive control to any keyboard with this DIY touch sensor kit.

What are the TouchKeys?

The TouchKeys are touch sensors that attach to your keyboard to measure where your fingers contact the keys.

Use the TouchKeys with any synth to naturally control vibrato, pitch bends, control changes and many other new sounds while playing.

Put the TouchKeys on your own keyboard with a self-install DIY kit, or go for one of our limited-edition prebuilt instruments.

Transforming the Keyboard

Every keyboard player knows the problem: playing and releasing notes is easy, but shaping what happens in the middle is hard. The acoustic piano wasn't designed to play vibrato, pitch bends or timbre changes, and if you want these techniques on an electronic keyboard, you’re usually stuck with clumsy wheels and pedals or limited aftertouch. The TouchKeys instead put these techniques literally at your fingertips, giving you continuous expressive control with a shake of the wrist or a slide of the finger.

The TouchKeys are capacitive sensor overlays which attach securely to the surface of each key. When you play, the sensors measure the position and contact area of your fingers in real time. This information is sent back to your computer, where the TouchKeys software lets you control any instrument you like. And since they’re attached to your keyboard, you still have the feeling and all the extra controls of your favourite instrument!

The Whole Key a Sensor, with Multi-Touch

The TouchKeys sensors are carefully shaped to fit any keyboard with standard-width keys. The overlays cover the entire playing surface of the key, sensing your finger position in two dimensions (XY). Sensing the touch contact area means the TouchKeys can also distinguish between the fingertip and the pad of the finger. The sensors are even multi-touch: up to three simultaneous touches can be sensed on a single key.

What can I do with the TouchKeys?

I should also mention that I am the original owner. It was recently serviced and given a full inspection, which it passed after some minor repairs..."

iOS Update - Vol. 48, Thor Synthesizer App and Novation Launchkey Power Tip

Published on Jul 29, 2013 SweetwaterSound·1,567 videos

"Check out the Propellerhead Thor synthesizer and other music-related apps right here: http://www.sweetwater.com/shop/ios/ap...
And learn more about the Novation Launchkey MIDI controller used in this video here: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detai...

Mitch takes a look at the Thor polyphonic synthesizer app by Propellerhead. It's the same synth as found in their Reason DAW software - you can even load patches you created on this app into Thor in your Reason software.

After that, Mitch circles back to a product he's presented in the past, the Novation Launchkey. Mitch explains how to set up the camera connection kit so that your iPad can provide power to the Launchkey keyboard.

KORG Volca Keys : Testing FLUX function ( experimental )

Published on Jul 29, 2013 karenevil·274 videos

"Testing Volca keys FLUX function.
When turned off the FLUX, Volca records up to 16 steps quantized notes.
When turned on the FLUX, such limitation is gone.
Even if we make slow tempo setting we can record phrase with faster tempo.
I have no idea about note number limitation ( I wonder how many notes can we record in a loop ?) or time resolution when turned on the FLUX.
This FLUX function works fine with "UNISON" mode.
It also works with Poly mode of course but it is little bit difficult to manage."
