"Grey Roland SH101 synthesizer. It's in excellent condition and working perfectly, except the noise slider in the oscillator section is not pass audio. The noise in the LFO mod sections still works though, so to me this indicates a bad slider and not an issue with the noise section itself. Included is the rare MG-1 Mod Grip along with leather strap for playing as a keytar! A great keyboard for leads, bass and effects, with a useful built in sequencer and arpeggiator.

This is a Roland SH-3a, a Korg MS20-mini, a Roland Juno 6, a Vermona Piano-Strings and a Hohner Pianet T all being subjected to the choral treatment. Meanwhile a Roland TR-626 is going through a Korg Monotron Delay. It was recorded via the stereo line-in of a Zoom H1."

Vintage 1973 MiniMoog Model D SN 4059 with Original 41 Year Old Box!

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

via this auction

Think about that for a bit. The original box from 1973!! That's 41 years old!  Might actually be 42 years old.  You can see the Williamsville address on it in the image below.  Unfortunately this mini does need some work.

"Original Vintage 1973 MiniMoog Model D analog synthesizer. Manufactured by Moog Music, Inc. Williamsville, NY.

Serial number 4059. Inspection tag is still on the unit! Everything is original! No glued parts, no after market parts, original finish on wood (never sanded).

Includes original Operation Manual plus Original All Schematics.
Date of manual is 4/13/72.

Also comes with the original box!

Needs restoration/ repair/ adjustment. Excellent cosmetic condition for being 40 years old!

Oscillator-2 is intermittent for sound. There are 3 uneven height white keys (lower F, middle C and the last E)

Trigger switch is included in original envelope.

All keys work except 1 black key (F sharp). Sometimes when pressing the keys they can lose their pitch- needs adjustment. The front Moog logo is missing.

The leg that props up the control panel in playing position is perfectly functional.

Has a functional switch for US 115 or foreign 230 volt operation. I am the proud original owner of this beautiful antique!"

Time for a Little Stretch...

You might notice the site looks a little bit different.  No need to adjust your screen.  You are now entering the MATRIXSYNTH ZONE...

The site was beginning to feel a bit narrow and compressed so I stretched it out a bit. No other changes were made, so those adverse to change (myself somewhat included), you will find everything where it is as usual.  I hope you like it.  If not, I hope it grows on you.  :)  It should make viewing videos, pics and everything for that matter better.  Note old videos and image embeds will not resize as they are fixed size - it's what YouTube provides and how Blogger uploads pics, so unless I go and update the previous 106397 posts it's not going to happen.   So... it's not going to happen. Vimeo embeds appear to play nice and resize, so that's good.  Minor tweaks to the site template may follow.

Don Buchla Interview on San Fransisco Classical Voice

"Buchla began infusing new ideas into music not long after he graduated with a degree in physics from UC Berkeley in 1960. He found like minds close by at the San Francisco Tape Music Center, founded in the early 1960s by composers Morton Subotnick and Ramon Sender, with input from Pauline Oliveros. “I was borrowing the Center’s three-track tape recorder,” Buchla recalls. “I only had a one-track Wollensak, and I wanted to do mixes. They were working with electronic music, but they weren’t using any instruments. And I proposed making an instrument for music, specifically, and not just an adaptation of a laboratory instrument. I talked with Mort, he liked the idea, and they helped me design a system.”

Photo by Peter B Kaars
The result, dubbed the Buchla 100 series, began selling in 1966, and Subotnick made use of it on his Silver Apples of the Moon in 1967, the first electronic work commissioned by a record company (Nonesuch). Buchla found himself in competition, of sorts, with Robert Moog, a New York-based Ph.D. who’d hooked a synthesizer up to a keyboard in 1964, and had attracted major attention after his invention was showcased on Wendy/Walter Carlos’s popular Switched-On Bach LP (Columbia, 1968)."

Roland Dimension D SDD-320, Spatial Chorus of a Special Kind

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

"inputs and outputs: Stereo balanced (XLR) and unbalanced TS
Can be used mono/stereo or stereo/stereo (switchable).
This Dimension D SDD-320 is in very good condition for its age and coming from a non-smoker environment. It was tested not long ago and performs simply great.
The sound is full and round, better than the emulations on the market. For those who need the original Dimension D effect there is only the hardware acceptable.
All switches work flawless. This SDD-320 has no dents or enclosure damages except a few scratches over the decades. The condition is visible on the non retouched photos
and I would even think it would be perfect as a collectors item."

"A simple way of making some ambient atmosphere using one synth(module). Just use 4 pieces of iron to hold a sound. When you change the sound in the Vintage Keys the key on hold keeps the same sound so you can layer a new one using another piece of iron.
It's maybe not an original way of making music but it's fun and it works. Please try this at home !"

Massive Update for Ex-Waldorf's Wolframe Franke's Stroke Machine

iTunes:
Stroke Machine - Wolfram Franke

"What's New in Version 1.0.2
• Audio Buffer Size adjustable. Setting it to higher values improves performance, which is especially helpful on older iPads.
• Alternative skin "Subdued" with a more subtle color scheme.

• Added Inter-App Audio. Stroke Machine can now act as a node for Inter-App Audio hosts like Garage Band, Cubasis and others. If it is active, Stroke Machine's internal pattern sequencer is disabled and the transport buttons control the host sequencer, so Stroke Machine acts purely as a sound generator.
• Added Virtual MIDI. Stroke Machine can now receive MIDI messages from iPad MIDI hosts.
• When Stroke Machine is used with Inter-App Audio or Virtual MIDI, incoming channel-based MIDI messages are routed to the respective Melody Part (MIDI channel 1 to Melody Part 1, channel 2 to Part 2 and so on) rather than the currently selected Melody Part. Incoming notes between C1 and B2 are still mapped to the Drum Parts.
• Added MIDI Clock Synchronization.
• Added MIDI Clock Offset parameters in Clocks and Milliseconds. Adjust Clocks to compensate sync masters sending too many or too few clocks after start, adjust Milliseconds to compensate a fix latency between the sync master and the iPad audio output.
• Added Audio Copy for your pattern or performance recordings to process them in other audio apps.
• Added Audio Paste for samples.
• Added Share Kit and Share Sound to share your kits or sounds via email or Air Drop with others.
• Added FX Bus selection buttons for the currently active sound to the FX page.
• Improved editing of linear controls (including rotary controls when set to linear control mode). Their value is now changed only vertically, moving the finger horizontally increases the resolution for finer adjustments.
• Rotary controls in the Assign view now show if a parameter is modulated (filled indicator) or not (hollow indicator).
• Improved performance and sound of oscillator models Sine, Triangle, Pulse and Sawtooth.
• Empty Pattern Quick Access slots are now filled with the available preset kits.
• Fixed kits, sounds or samples not loading after a while.
• Fixed Pattern Quick Access not showing when a percussion instrument was selected.
• Fixed possible crash in LFO Step waveforms.
• Fixed problem with LFO Fade set to minimum.
• Fixed a bug in oscillator FM causing pitch to increase for higher FM amounts instead of staying centered when using Triangle, Saw or Pulse waveforms. Please check your FM sounds and increase their oscillator frequency/frequencies if necessary.
• Fixed loading of 24 bit samples.
• Fixed problem that clearing a kit didn't always clear the sequences.
• Fixed problem and possible crash with background audio.
• Please download the free app AudioCopy from Retronyms. It assures that your Audio Copy or Paste files keep their names and it allows to manage them."
