The Roland GR-500 - guitarra sintetizador 1977 - Tenaz

Published on Oct 28, 2014 FinlAndean Pletórico

"The Roland GR-500 was the first guitar synthesizer to be manufactured by the Roland Corporation.

The synthesizer module included Polyensemble, Bass, Solo Synth, and External synthesizer control. Much of the voltage-controller filter and voltage controlled amplifier sections were based on previous analog mono-synths from Roland. There are a number of sliders to adjust the VCO, VCF, VCA, and LFO sections but no memory to store your edits.

The synth module is controlled by a highly modified guitar. The GS-500 guitar controller was built in a partnership between Roland and the large Japanese guitar builder Fujigen. The result was the Fuji Roland Corporation, established in 1977 through a joint capital investment. Because Fujigen was also the builder of Ibanez guitars during this period, the GS-500 and subsequent 24-pin Roland guitars have been described as being manufactured by Ibanez but this is incorrect.

The GS-500 controller used a special pickup system that connected to the synth module via Roland's own 24-pin interface. Controls on the guitar primarily were for adjusting the relative volume of the different sections: guitar, polyensemble, bass, solo section and external synth. The GS-500 guitar does not have a standard 1/4" guitar output and cannot be used without the GR-500 synthesizer module. The GR-500 has a simple-but-effective infinite sustain system. The frets in the GR-500 are connected to its electrical ground. When a player fretted a string, an electric current passed through the string. The electric signal passing through the string is a greatly-amplified version of the string signal detected by the divided hexaphonic pickup. Large magnets replaced the traditional "neck" pickup. As a result of Fleming's Law, the alternating electric current in the string passing through the strong magnetic field caused the string to vibrate and create a feedback loop and infinite sustain. The GS-500 used a bridge with plastic saddles to electrically isolate each string.

Here is a brief description of each section:

Vicky Chow - Tristan Perich: Surface Image

Vicky Chow - Tristan Perich: Surface Image from New Amsterdam Records on Vimeo.

"Vicky Chow - Tristan Perich: Surface Image

AVAILABLE TODAY ON NEW AMSTERDAM RECORDS

Stream/Buy on Bandcamp, iTunes and Amazon

New Amsterdam Records is proud to announce Surface Image, the new album-length composition for solo piano with 40-channel 1-bit electronics, composed by Tristan Perich and performed by pianist Vicky Chow.

Surface Image is a stunning marriage of Perich’s inspired electronic aesthetic and Chow's nuanced yet fiercely virtuosic playing. The line between electric and organic is artistically blurred, as the simple hand-wired electronics fuse with the individual notes of the piano on the same, expansive plane. Recorded at EMPAC’s sound studio by producer Argeo Ascani and mix engineer Jeffrey Svatek.


"Gorgeous...played by the virtuoso Vicky Chow" – RHAPSODY

"A brilliant, glittering web of piano and 1-bit electronics"
– WONDERING SOUND/JOHN SCHAEFER

"A masterpiece of (Post)Romantic proportions: an epic struggle between man and machine, pushing the piano beyond the limits of playability. There are moments of breakneck virtuosity and profound lyricism, beauty and menace. It is both an alien landscape and one that's eerily familiar." – FEAST OF MUSIC

"Album of the Week" - "Microcosmic fascination aside, Surface Image's power comes from the sublime, sheer power of its whole...creates a universe all its own."
– Q2 MUSIC

"The depth gathered in just the first nine minute bulk of Surface Image alone is brilliantly wearing, folding pixels and wires over themselves in a dizzying manner to smooth and lull." – TINY MIX TAPES

rolzer

Published on Oct 28, 2014 Peter B

"Tocante has made a version of the rolz-5 circuits. It is an expansion board for the plumbutter. Plumbutter has that nice voltage control for each of its rhythm generators (rolz) but they lack the pure crunchy ultrasound paradox capability of the simple rolz. This expansion board is to make up for that; the rolz are tuned by capacitors, in the range of 1 microfarad, through 1.5, 2.2, 3.3, 4.7, 6.8, up to 10 microfarads (allegro to larghissimo). The odd beats and strange interjections are caused by wiring them to each other. They are all "brown nodes" as on the plumbutter, androgynous, both input and output. Here, they are processed by plumbutter's ultrasound filter, and a gongue and snare drum.

Free shipping to celebrate release on this product.

[Audio demos here]

Asteroid Mini Synthesizer
------------------------------
Format: Euro Doepfer compatible, 3U height (5.05")
Power Current Consumption: +108mA, -83mA

Depth: less then 45mm

Circuits involved: VCO, VCA, Envelope Generator, Sub Harmonic Generator, Noise Generator, and trigger striking circuit.

VCO
-------------------------------------------------------------
-VCO type: Triangle core, transistor discrete design.
-VCO waves: Triangle, Sine, Square, Sub Harmonic pulse.
-Noise Generator flavors: White and High Pass White Noise.
-VCO modulation sources: (2) Direct input CV's labeled 'PCV',

(1) Hi spectrum Linear FM input, (1) Variable sync input, (1)

Attenuated CV labeled 'Mod CV'.
-Internal hard wired modulation: Bi-polar Decay source, and 'Pop CV' trigger spike. The Pop gives a small punch to the sound.

Envelope Generator
--------------------
Timings: 1uf Capacitor charge, 9.7uf cap, or middle position is 0.47uf cap timing. These effect the snappy feel of the decay. Middle position of the switch is best for drum and short percussive sounds.

-Trigger Striking System: The internal trigger conditioning circuit allows from 2.5v to 10v input for successful triggering of the envelope generator. The internal trigger voltage is about 12v. This allows for big drum sounds, and strike effect. There is a 'Thru' jack to pass the input signal to another Asteroid Synth for daisy chaining.

Mixer
--------------------
There is a summing mixer with direct output (pre vca and pre booster), this makes the module act like a normal vco for you to patch to a filter, etc. You also have a mixer input jack so that you can mix another vco or two Asteroid Mini Synths together.

VCA and Analog Delay
-----------------------
The vca can be patched directly into, bypassing the internal summing mixer. This is great for send and return. You would patch from the Asteroid Mini synth's 'Sum' to a filter for example, then patch back into 'Ext VCA' to return the processed sound. The booster knob will boost signals also

patched into the Ext VCA jack.
-The Delay has modulation for: Repeat, Time, and level.
-The VCA is a high quatity cool audio v2164 based vca with its own attenuated 'MODV' cv input.

Final Output
-------------------------
You get a Dry post vca synth level output, and a 'PERC'

output. The difference is the 'Perc' output can have the

delay fx mixed in.
There is a line Level 1/4" output jack.
All outputs can be used simultaneous.

***Some odd ball notes about the module
----------------------------------------
In order to use the Square wave as a sound source you have to patch from the jack above the toggle switch and select the Sqaure wave, and patch that into the Mixer input 'Mix'. One interesting patch is to patch the square wave into a CV input to create a Saw wave. I did this because I wanted to give you the option. If you wanted only the square wave sound source after you did the mix in patch, you can turn off the triangle or sine wave as that has no level knob. You can also use this method to make noise bursts with no vco waves mixed in. The noise generator does not have to be patched like the square wave, it is internally routed to the mixer. Just use the Noise Level knob to adjust the noise level. On the Direct Noise ouput, the level knob does not change anything, it is a direct out."
