(Cover)-Oxygene III : Live in MY Living Room

Published on Nov 3, 2013 deitersmonkey·21 videos


"Here the two of us play everything live. Vintage Gear singing away. Polysix for the bass, JX-8P for the melody, Soundmaker for the string FX, Chords locked onto the Arp Omni, Basskick (now 4 on the floor, on the floor) from the Poly800 on my right toe (!). Theremin for the eerie melody."

BMOT live set 2 - deep acid techno


Published on Feb 24, 2013 bmot·7 videos

"2nd live set from the home studio. This time it's longer AND deeper, you lucky people! As it was a one-shot live recording there were naturally a few mistakes, but i'm sure can you appeciate there's no such thing as "perfect" in this kind of performance just as no two performances will ever be the same.

Everything you hear is hardware played and triggered in real time. There are no computers or DAWs involved except for recording the video/audio for youtube.

Kit list and routing for this set:

RS7000 (sequencer, sampler, midi in from TR707, 2x midi out)
TR-707 (master clock, DIN sync out, midi out)
Jomox XBase09 (midi in)
TB-xOx Box with RE20 space echo and Boss DS2 distortion (DIN sync in)
Roland MC-202 with distortion (midi in via Kenton Pro Solo II)
BugBrand Travel Weevil (no sync, audio routed through RS7000 ext audio in)"

Doepfer A-115 as a quantized sequencer


Published on Nov 3, 2013 GruithuisenCityMan·471 videos

"It is possible to turn a Doepfer A-115 into a nice little weird sequencer. The result is often somewhat strange but always interesting ! And it is also possible to quantize the sequences created that way with a A-183-2 and then a A-156. Some reverb added for a nicer sound."

"Some fun with the K4816, Blacet time machine and 285e frequency shifter.

Forgot to write down the patch, but it is essentially:
- 261e controlled by K4816 through 292e with envelope from 281e
- One 292e out to 206e (center)
- 292e all to Blacet time machine
- Time machine full wet to 285e frequency shifter
- Up output to 292e (creating feedback to the timemachine)
- Output of this 292e channel to 206e (right)
- Down output of the 285e frequency shifter to 206e (left)
- Some modulation of 261e timbre, symmetry, 285e frequency, 281e decay, K4816 start etc."

Mark Mosher's 9 Box Instrument / Installation at Mountain Oasis Festival 2013 w/ Bob Moog Foundation


Published on Nov 3, 2013 Mark Mosher·58 videos

"The Bob Moog Foundation invited me to bring my "9 Box" installation / instrument to the Mountain Oasis Festival 2013 to be part of Dr. Bob's Interactive Sonic Experience. The 9 Box ran for 18 hours over 3 days and was played by 100s of festival goers of all ages.

The 9 Box is a Collaborative AudioCube Jam Instrument with Music, Sound & Light by Mark Mosher (http://www.MarkMosherMusic.com & http://9box.modulatethis.com). Part collaborative instrument, part interactive installation -- the 9 Box allows up to six casual players to instantly make music and shape sound by manipulating blocks called AudioCubes.

This video to youtube which will give you a taste of 9 Box in the booth area. It was so rewarding see people's reactions to the 9 Box and to hear their creations throughout the weekend.

AudioCubes, made by California based Percussa (http://www.percussa.us), are smart wireless cubes capable of sensing each other's location and orientation as well as distance to your hands, fingers and other objects. They also emit feedback in the form of light as you interact with them.

Ultimately this hands-on approach allows players to manipulate sets of sounds in 3x3 grids -- hence the name 9 Box. The 9 Box supports also supports user creatable "refills" allowing for unique and endless sonic possibilities.

Mountain Oasis Festival was just an incredible experience all the way around. One of the coolest music-related trips ever!!! HUGE thanks to:

- Michelle Moog-Koussa for inviting me out and including the 9 Box in Dr. Bob's Interactive Sonic Experience!!! It was so great to be a part of a vibrant music education program.
- All the players throughout the weekend
- Ken Jones from mountainsongguitars.com who provided the PA
- The Bob Moog Foundation's wonderful staff and volunteers (http:www.moogfoundation.org)
- BMF's Andi Morell & Marc Doty for helping me with logistics
- Geary Yelton and Susan Granados for being such amazing hosts.
- Bert Schiettecattefor inventing the incredible AudioCubes
- Ableton for creating Live
- TheGigEasy for providing mic stand cube mounts"

CASIO HT 3000 WITH ANALOGUE FILTER

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

via this auction

"The Casio HT and HZ series are a very interesting group of synthesizers produced from 1987-1991. They use a very specific form of sound generation called "SD Synthesis". Short for "Spectrum Dynamic" SD Synthesis has some things in common with the subtractive synthesis we know and love. The synth takes a waveform and runs it through a real analog VCF (filter). There are ADSR envelopes for the DCA and VCF that shape the sound. And there is an LFO just like on a standard subtractive synth, although this LFO only modulates pitch (vibrato) and volume (tremolo). Where things get interesting, is in the choice of waveforms available from the synth engine. There are 32 incredibly varied waveforms, some sound very nasal or narrow, some like saw or square waveforms, some with an odd metallic timbre, and some feature white noise. It's still a mystery exactly how these waves are created, but experts suggest they contain a number of harmonically-rich pulse waves at different octaves, as well as a ring modulator and an analog noise source. To make things even more interesting, these waves have pre-programmed amounts of PWM and amplitude modulation built into them. For example, one SD wave could contain two pulse waves fading in and out at different times. But you don't have to understand all of this to get the best out of the synth. The mystery and modulation of it all means you can just pick a preset and change the waves around and see what happens. The synth sounds are in the same ballpark as other DCO-synths of the time, and can even sound a little PPG-like on a good day. The filter is great and adds a nice swoosh to some sounds, plus there is also a nice chorus effect on board. Additionally, being a home keyboard, it has built-in speakers, a Drum Machine and an Auto-Accompaniment mode (the lower tone is used for accompaniment). The drum sounds resemble the Casio RZ-1 8-bit drum machine."

Doepfer Dark Energy MK1 with Custom Angled Desktop Wood Side Panels


via this auction

"This is the highly desirable MK1 model which had to be discontinued due to the CEM3394 chip being no longer available. It has a lovely 24db resonant low pass filter and a unique and warm/gnarly sound. As you can see from the photos the small original side panels have been upgraded to these lovely wooden panels which raise it up to a perfect angle for tweaking. It also has the glide function and knob added. It is of course semi modular and can be self patched too. It also has a midi to cv converter built in so you can use it to drive other analogue synths. It comes with the original power adapter..."

Atomic Shadow: Metal Machine Monster


Metal Machine Monster from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.

"This piece started out with a Halloween theme and slowly morphed in to a tribute to the late Lou Reed's groundbreaking album Metal Machine Music. The album was maligned by fans and critics when it was released, but has since come to be considered the foundation of drone music.

In the course of making this video my Moog Theremin packed up and stopped working just before recording. This required a reworking of the set up with the Kaoss 2 pad standing in for the MIA Theremin. There is a Dave Smith MEK just off camera providing a drone bass. Also featured are the EMW 200, Kaoss Quad, Eico signal generator and various effects pedals. The off camera modular system is providing the moaning sound courtesy of the Phonogene module from make Noise/Voltergeist.

The video was shot with an iPad that also decided to act up and I was unable to export the video to my Mac. I ended up shooting the screen of the iPad with another camera on a tripod, thus making the low quality, grainy film look even 'arty-er'."

Sequential Circuit Prophet T8 Synthesizer

via this auction

via the seller: "Two years ago I had my Prophet T8 serviced by the knowledgeable folks at Wine Country, the defacto authorities beyond Mr. Dave Smith on Sequential Circuits gear. After spending about a grand on my synth, they told me my T8 was one of the best physical condition synth (T8) they had ever worked on or seen. I've got pics to draw your own conclusions from; send request and I will provide. This Prophet synth is the best of the Prophet series, with weighted keys, velocity sensing provided per solid state switching that provides a wider dynamic range in velocity sensitivity, with release time controlled by the velocity with which the key is released. This was revolutionary technology back in the day my friends. After touch can be used to control the frequency of Oscillators A and B, pulse width of OSC A and B, as well as filter, amplifier, LFO, and LFO Frequency. It includes an onboard sequencer, is eight voice with 16 oscillators assignable in four modes: Single Mode with all eight voices across all six octaves, Double Model which blends two different programs into each of four voices, Split Mode divides the keyboard and allocates four voices to each side of a programmable split point; and UNISON Mode which combines up to eight voices on one note.... 76 keys with midi. The Prophet T8 is the the heaviest beast full of filters and analogue goodness ever made by SCI. This synth plays, looks, and sounds immaculate; auction price begins at $5500 NOTE::: As this synth is listed for sale locally, I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time; Ive allready had inquiries and offer, first come first jam out to the maximum.... BTW, I had a nice fellow advise me that shipping post was in error; and he was right. The shipping is the buyers responsibility, and will be added to your bid. Ive shipped synths for years without any problems, but given this synths weight ( about 70 pounds boxed up ), I believe you should budget at least a couple of hundred bucks for shipment. Blessings and best regards; and thanks to my friend for the heads up. .."

Moog Featured in Popular Mechanics 101 Gadgets that Changed the World


The Moog Synthesizer comes in at number 60: "Robert Moog debuted his synthesizer, which used analog circuits to generate sound electronically, at the Audio Engineering Society Convention of 1964, but the $15,000 instrument was slow to catch on among musicians. It was only in 1967, after Moog's West coast sales team, comprised of electronic music enthusiasts Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause, demonstrated it at the Monterey Pop Festival that the innovative keyboard became a must-have for the biggest names in rock-and-roll. Without it, the Doors' Strange Days, Simon & Garfunkel's Bookends and the Beatles' Abbey Road would have sounded much different."
