IDOW: Robert Wheeler & Allen Ravenstine Release EML 101 & 200 Recordings

Pere Ubu's Robert Wheeler & Allen Ravenstine, featured in the modular documentary I Dream of Wires, have released two LPs on 12" vinyl, City Desk & Farm Report, featuring the EML 101 & 200.  You can watch a clip from IDOW featuring them and their EML systems including a custom EML in this prior post.  A double CD is planned in the future.

"In the spring of 2012, Allen Ravenstine and Robert Wheeler travelled to historic Grant Avenue Studio in Hamilton, Ontario, to appear in I Dream of Wires, a film documentary about the role of modular synthesizers in electronic music.

Canadian Filmmaker Robert Fantinatto dedicated 20 minutes to an interview with the two pioneers of industrial electronics, and their choice of the unique EML Electrocomp synthesizer as a performance instrument in Pere Ubu.

Allen Ravenstine was a composer, patron and pioneer of the burgeoning Cleveland arts scene in the early 1970's. As synthesist with Pere Ubu, playing the EML-200 and later the EML-101, he earned international acclaim for his inspired use of industrial sound before retiring from popular music in the late 1980's. His approach to live performance - rejecting the traditional tonal keyboard for an intuitive wash of modulated noise - has been much imitated but rarely equaled.

Robert Wheeler (of Home & Garden) joined Pere Ubu in 1994, playing the EML-101 and a handmade Theremin. He is a relative of Thomas Edison - a birthright that led him to take a leading role in the Edison Birthplace Museum in Milan, Ohio. In January 2010, he accepted a Grammy Award on Edison's behalf..."

"The MFB-Step64 is a step-sequencer with up to 64 monophic steps or 16 4-voice polyphonic steps.
In monophonic mode it is possible to enter 16 steps with five parameters each, 32 steps with 3 parameters each oder 64 note on/off steps. Additional parameters can be velocity, gate-time (1/6 to 6/6) or 2 control voltages for additonal control (e.g. filter cutoff). The CV can be changed per step. You may also use the MFB-Step64 for 2 monophonic sequences with 3 parameters, for 4 monophonic sequences or as a 4-voice polyphonic note on/off sequencer.
Each mode has 118 separate memory locations. You may inlcude pause into a sequence as well as legato notes by pressing two or more notes next to each other.
On mode 4 ( 4-voice, polyphonic) you can easy create chords (e.g. major, minor).
Each sequence can use one of 15 shuffle settings to give it more liveness.
The song mode finally allows to create a structure out of the existing sequences with up to 128 steps. Transposition of the sequence is directly possible by the sequence buttons or an via MIDI."

via Doepfer:

"Module A152 is a very useful switching and T&H module. It combines a voltage addressed 1-to-8 multiplexer and 8 fold T&H that can be used as kind of an analog shift register too. The active in/output is displayed by a LED. The digital output of the currently addressed step outputs "high". The remaining digital outputs are low.

Instead of voltage control even clock/reset controlled addressing of the active step is possible. The rising edge of each clock signal causes an advance to the next state. The rising edge of the reset signal resets to step 1.

Basis principles: The sum of the voltages coming from the manual Address control and the CV input define the currently addressed step of the 3 sub-devices. If the module is controlled by clock and reset the control voltage has to remain unchanged as the CV control has priority over the clock/reset control (e.g. simply turn the CV control fully counterclockwise and do not touch the Address control knob).

Sub-device #1 is the bidirectional 8-fold multiplexer (kind of an electronical 8-fold rotary switch). Bidirectional means that it works into both directions like a mechanical rotary switch: the common socket may work as an output that is connected to one of the 8 inputs that are e.g. connected to modulation or audio sources. But the common socket may even function as input. In this case the signal applied to the common socket is output to the currently addressed single socket. The voltage range of the in/outputs to be switched is the full A-100 voltage range -12V....+12V. All A-100 signals can be switched without any restrictions.

AN EXPLORATION OF THE BUCHLA 100 ELECTRONIC MODULAR SYNTHESISER

All Tracks created at Meme Tune Studios, London, UK utilising the Buchla 100 modular synthesiser. No additional processors were used in this recording. It should be noted that the Buchla 100 features its own sequencer module and this was used to produce the repeating rhythms in the music on this record and also the melodic and harmonic content. On the first track the voltage controlled touch plates (model 112) were used to produce some of the more performance-orientated sounds on the record. On most tracks the patches were set up and left to run by themselves, with minor human intervention other than adjusting the various potentiometers. The Buchla 100 system is very adept at producing self-perpetuating sounds and it is this aspect of it that is explored here

Korg Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Keyboards in Limited Edition Colors

"MELVILLE, NY, September 5, 2013 - Korg continues its 50th anniversary celebration by offering a run of keyboards in limited edition colors: the MicroKorg and the 61-key Krome Music Workstation.

The popular MicroKorg synth/vocoder, which celebrated its 10th birthday in 2012, is available in a limited-edition Gold finish [see this post] with the original wood side panels. Quantity is limited to 2000 units world-wide, starting in December 2013. First launched in 2002, MicroKorg made the synthesizer available to everyone by combining mini-keys, battery power, a simple-to-use interface, and phenomenal sound, all at an attractive price. Today, it's still a popular choice not only for keyboardists, but also for bass players, singers, guitarists, producers and DJs looking to add its vintage sounds to their instrument arsenal.

The Krome Music Workstation is now also available in eye-catching, limited-edition colors. While supplies last, the 61-key version is available in red, blue, and gold color choices. Like the mainline Krome models, these limited editions offer a carefully chosen selection of piano and drum sounds derived from the flagship Kronos, as well as new electric pianos for high quality sounds at users' fingertips. Also included is a plethora of other sounds and powerful production tools such as a piano-roll style sequencer, complemented by a widescreen color TouchView display, for an intuitive and organic experience.

The Limited Edition MicroKorg can be found at Guitar Center locations in the U.S. in December 2013, for a U.S. Street price of $399.99. Limited edition Krome models in red and blue can be found in December at select, authorized Korg USA dealers - and gold models at U.S. Guitar Center locations - for $999.99"

SoftPot Homemade MIDI Guitar

Published on Aug 7, 2013 girtnessshroom·1 video

"Sorry for low sound quality, low video quality, my chronic mumbling, and generally low production values.

This is a video about a prototype of a sort of MIDI guitar I made. For want of a better name I'm calling it a "SoftPot" guitar because the main component that distinguishes it from a normal MIDI are the long touch sensitive strips called SoftPots. They are like normal potentiometers that you find under most controller knobs, but in strip form.

I appreciate that there are several similar instruments (MIDI guitars) that you can just buy off the shelf, but I never found one that was fretless, and I think this homemade version turned out a good deal cheaper. Plus, making stuff is fun.

Post any questions you have in the comments and I'll try my best to answer them all.

A Hybrid Digisound & Aries Modular Synthesizer at Switched On

Published on Sep 5, 2013 Switched On·49 videos

"This spectacular synthesizer system is a combination of Digisound modules (white faceplates) & Aries Modular (black faceplates). Originally there were two non-functional systems, an Aries Modular system and the Digisound. Switched On was asked to resurrect two separate system and combine them for the best arrangement of modules. The result was very pleasing to say the least!

This patch is based around the 4 wavetable based Digisound DCOs cycling through a bank of 8 wavetables each. Each DCO has 4 banks of 8 waveforms totaling at 32 possible waveforms. Occasionally you will see the bank being switched to allow a different set of 8 waveforms to cycle. By "multing" the pulse signal off the Digisound Quad LFO we are able to make all 4 Digisound DCOs step through various waveforms in time. One of the DCOs is being processed through the Digisound Ring Modulator to add some extra metallic brilliance, and another DCO is being processed through the Aries Frequency Divider adding even further versatility to the timbre. All 4 are being mixed and summed into the gorgeous sounding fully discrete state variable filter made by Aries. In our opinion the sound of the filter is somewhat reminiscent of a Sequential Circuits Pro-One. We are also sending just a touch of modulation from the Digisound Quad LFO to the cutoff frequency and resonance of the Aries Filter to add some extra animation to our sound. In this circumstance we are using the filter as an output stage as well.

We hope you enjoy the sounds of this very rare and unique modular system that we had the pleasure of working on!

MOOG SOUND LAB | Sylvan Esso

Published on Sep 5, 2013 MoogMusicInc·251 videos

"Amelia and Nick of Sylvan Esso came into the Moog Sound Lab armed with only a Laptop and a voice. They surrounded themselves with an array of Moog synthesizers and Moogerfoogers to rework their debut single "Hey Mami".

How'd they get that sound?

· Amelia is singing through an MF-104M Analog Delay and live looping her voice to create all of the harmonies.
· Kick drum was created using the filter resonance and overload on a Slim Phatty
· High Hat is a Voyager Rack Mount and Nick is tweaking the Filter Cutoff to change the pitch of the high hat
· Snare Drum is created with a Voyager Rack Mount- a combination of noise with the input being driven and processed through a 500 Series Analog Delay
· Nick is using Ableton Live to record and trigger all of the live samples. The entire MIDI sequencing of all the Moog gear is coming from Ableton, but all of the automation is being done manually by Sanborn
· The harmonic bell-like sounds are from a Sub Phatty
· Bass lines are a Minitaur bass synthesizer. An MF-104M Analog Delay is turned on and off as he adjusts the pitch on the fly throughout the song.

Roland Juno-6 Demo Track by The Outsider

Published on Sep 5, 2013 66outsider99·12 videos

"This track appears on the 100 Suns EP by The Outsider, available at http://iamtheoutsider.bandcamp.com

All sounds (rhythm, percussion, melody, fx and weirdness, and the vocoder carrier as well) were programmed by The Outsider using only the Juno-6. Of course the audio samples were not, but that should be obvious. Everything was multi-sampled and sequenced using an MPC2000XL. As you can see in the video, this Ju-6 has been modified: a CHD Elektroservis MIDI kit and non-factory LEDs have been installed (by The Outsider). The track was recorded and polished in Logic Pro 9. The Ju-6 may be a simple, one oscillator DCO synth, but it has its strengths, and provides instant gratification thanks to a very easy to understand and logical layout. Soft synths and plug-ins are all the rage, but in my opinion there is absolutely no substitute for the immediate, tactile satisfaction that comes with playing and programming any hardware synth, be it true analog, DCO analog, or VA. My only gripe is that I didn't buy a Juno-60... patch storage would be so nice. Thanks for checking this out, and more shenanigans of The Outsider can be found at http://soundcloud.com/the_outsider

The built-in analogue sequencer is especially useful when designing percussive noises and sounds that are unique and not pre-packaged sounding!

Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s Percussion and Drums Part 2

Here's part 2 of Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s percussion and drums.

This video is created by request from several Leipzig owners who desire a visual starting point to begin creating percussion on the Leipzig-s synth. All pots can be seen clearly in the video (use 1080p for full screen) and many unused settings are set flush left.

In this video, the Leipzig-s is not connected to MIDI, but is stepping the sequencer from its own LFO. Everything is done in real time.

For more creative drum patterns, the Leipzig can be attached to MIDI and used alongside your DAW.

The Leipzig synth line has incredibly fast envelopes and percussion/drums are some of its strong suits.

Enjoy"
