ultravox monument mkv


Published on Aug 21, 2013 jenner4265·8 videos

"fully remastered sound and picture"

I almost skipped this one as per the site guidelines all posts are supposed to be synth demos only, meaning the focus is on the individual synths themselves. Yes you can see a bit of synth spotting, but let's face it, what spotting there is is somewhat obscure unless you know what's going on here.  What I realized was that three classic bits of gear dominate the entire performance and much of the sound of Ultravox at the time. The Yamaha SS-30, the ARP Odyssey and classic Simmons synthetic drum sounds.  It's as if this thirty minute video is a tribute to them.  Enjoy.

Update: I originally noted Solinas were used. Turns out it was the Yamaha SS30. What threw me off was the custom stands they are using. Take a look at 4:23 in the video. That's the SS30 on top. Now look at these pics. Note the difference.

via Pete in the comments: "The string synths used by Ultravox were not Solinas. They were the much rarer Yamaha SS-30. They sound quite different to the Solina, but are very much 'the sound' of Ultravox, along with the ARP Odyssey, Yamaha CP-80, PPG Wave 2.2"

You can clearly see the SS-30 on top of Billy Currie's setup, and you can see Midge playing the SS-30 at 5:38.

And via Billy Currie on the GForce Software website: "It was amazing to hear the Elka Rhapsody again and the Yamaha SS-30 but it is also good to hear all the other ones that are in there. I always loved the Oberheim sound so I have utilised the Xpander sounds.

The Solina was an instrument I didn't really get on with in the seventies, too silky, but interesting to go back to now!

I do admit though that I did not have a great relationship with the Yamaha SS-30 initially. Yamaha gave the gear to Ultravox in 1979-80 so I didn't say "No thanks". I must admit it does sound flipping brilliant in the VSM though - Nice One!"

The Ultimate Synthesizer - Pulse2


Published on Dec 28, 2013 René Zierenberg·10 videos

"What´s to say...?
first: analog Synthesizer with Pulse parapolyphonic Waldorf Sound
second: nothing else more to say
third: i forgotten - but hear it, only if you are resistant of its sounds heavy & dangerous. Yes it does!


Music Instrumental Improvisation Information:

Waldorf Pulse 2 become from Yamaha Mox6 a Church Reverb, thats all.
The Result is filled with a little digital finalized Proceed set to afterwork, there standing for a digital Limiter and a vintage Compressor by Steinberg (Wavelab 8) to become a professional Loudness. Over this - the Sound is being in Result realy thrue/pure from Synth, thinking without the Reverbation."

KORG Poly-61 sequenced by Anyware Intruments inSEQt via CV/GATE

Published on Dec 28, 2013 Elegtrosmok Music·3 videos

"When i had to repair an old defective Poly-61 i decided to unchain this machine from any digital limitations, free it by some valuable mods. one of the main features is the ability to control the synth by CV/GATE. so i did this first. excuse the bad sound and the unprofessional way to do the test. it is only a very first test using CV/GATE. The functionality is okay now, also as the feature to transpose the sequence by the Poly-61 keyboard.

This is the beginning of tons of modding features on my to-do list. i will create a whole new synthesizer out of this vintage analog audio gear... so stay tuned folks! I am sure you will not waste any time on it ;-)"

Work Around for Compressed / Altered Images on Blogger, Picasa & Google+

Update: turns out compression wasn't the culprit. Google+ has an option for "Automatically enhance new photos and videos".  It was set to Normal. I set it to Off and it appears everything looks good again. Below are examples of JPEGs vs PNGs for the two settings. The setting impacts image uploads to Blogger so if you were wondering why your images didn't quite look the same after upload, this is why.  You'll find it under Google+ settings.  There's an option to upload full size photos as well.

Groovesizer Delta V111


Published on Dec 28, 2013 MoShang·57 videos

"Kits and enclosure are available from http://groovesizer.com
A demo of the Delta firmware for the Groovesizer. Drums are from Cakewalk Sonar and a touch of reverb, delay, and stereo chorus have been added.
With the exception of a couple of hitches, it was pretty straightforward to replace the DAC-based sound engine of the Groovesizer Alpha with the PWM-based granular one of Peter Knight's Auduino. It positively drips with character and squelchy goodness. All the sequencer features of the Alpha firmware have been retained. These include:
- 32 step sequencer
- step ties, rests, and slides
- MIDI sync (in and out)
- 112 save locations for patterns
- saved patterns are chainable
- record movements of pot 1 with the option to send recorded automation out as MIDI cc data
- random pattern creation (chromatic, major, minor, pentatonic)
- accents"

Comparison between two Solina String Ensembles


Published on Dec 28, 2013 The Laboratory of Sound·2 videos

"Several versions of the Solina String Ensemble were made by the Dutch organ building company Eminent (the SSE's were rebranded ARP in the USA). There appears to be quite some discussion about which version of the SSE sounds better. When both an early version (Mk1) and a later version (Mk4) came in at the same time for service, I couldn't resist doing a side by side comparison. The top one is the Mk4 version with LEDs in the push buttons, the bottom one is the Mk1 version. I was just fiddling around a bit, but tried to play the same tunes alternating between the Mk1 and Mk4. At all times, the settings on each unit are identical. At approximately 2:20 the four upper voices are played one by one without the ensemble effect. If you can stand watching the video until the end, you will see in the upper left corner of the video frame some smoke escaping from the Mk4. The smoke was accompanied by a strong smell of burning electronics. As soon as I noticed I switched off the Solina's (you will hear a plopping noise). It turned out that one of the caps in the power supply had burst. After recapping the power supply the unit was in full working order again.
The Solina's were both recorded in mono (the Mk4 can do stereo as well) using an API Channel Strip and Lynx Hilo converters. Despite the conversion for Youtube there are clear differences between the Mk1 and Mk4. Up to you to decide which one you prefer."

"Live looping with USB controllers, wireless iOS, and Ableton Live. Nothing was pre-recorded. All audio is from Native Instruments Battery, Kontakt, Reaktor, and Absynth.

A little explanation on what happened at 4:30... I was attempting to layer a synth lead with the same instance of Monark used for bass. The currently-playing bass part at 4:30 was a MIDI loop. Thinking it was an audio loop, I dialed-in more delay and lowered the volume on Monark to prep it for a higher-octave synth lead, not realizing I was altering the currently-playing bass MIDI loop. When I started to play the synth lead, the bass notes were fighting for note priority. It sounds like all I did was add delay to the bass for the last minute, but that was not the original intent. However if I multi-tracked these sessions and corrected these mistakes, it would no longer be a live performance.
