Cubic Zirconia by Benny Blanco Featuring the Dreadbox Erebus



"First track with the newly acquired Dreadbox Erebus monosynth. The bassline and oddly eerie drone noises came from that machine. The lead lines came from the Elektron Analog A4. Waldorf Streichfett was on 'string' duties. Drums were a combination of A4 (808 and Samples), XBase09 and a few drum fills came from a DMX Drum kit in Ableton. On the remix, I saved the Oberheim SEM for the outro."

MIDIPipes for iPad


Published on Jul 25, 2015 Michael Eskin

"I'm sure some people are wondering what the heck the MIDI controller versions of my iPad apps are for.

Well, this...

Everything you hear is being produced by the iPad itself, using ThumbJam as the MIDI synthesizer and MIDIPipes as the controller. I was working on a update to the app this morning, figured it was time for a demo video since its been probably a couple of years since I did the last one."

GRISTLEIZER SYNTHESIZER EFFECTS STOMPBOX

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


via this auction

"This beautiful unit was just used for the FIRST TIME EVER yesterday (7/24/15) after having bought several years back (2012?). Created by Endangered Audio Research, this box adds analog synthesizer modulation effects to your input source, sounding quite out there. Throbbing Gristle loved it:)

MINT CONDITION, comes in original box and with power supply. This version of the stompbox is no longer made by Endangered Audio, as they seem to be focusing on their Eurorack version...

The Gristleizer is a legendary effect, designed by Roy Gwinn in the 70s and made famous by industrial music group Throbbing Gristle. [See this post for some history]

This effect combines a tremolo with an oscillator-controlled filter. The controls allow considerable versatility, allowing you to achieve sounds from polite, smooth tremolo and auto-filter wah wah sounds, to industrial grinding distortion, ring modulation, and hard stuttering effects."

Oberheim OB-12 Virtual Analog Synthesizer with Custom Blue Buchla Style Knobs

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

via this auction

"Oberheim ob 12 for sale in fairly good condition complete with manual and a flight case that it has been stored in when not in use. Few marks on ends and small dink on face underneath the high/6k graphic slider - see photo's. Display light flickers every now and again and sometimes goes off but comes back on again when synth next on - new display unit for sale on E-bay -otherwise all working."

An interesting side note is you can see the side panels are grey painted wood. I have an OB-12 and I swear on mine the grey panels feel plastic/synthetic. I obviously don't want to scratch it to check. The undersides have a gap that that make the panels thin enough to dig into your fingers when moving. If you have an OB-12 I'd be curious to know what yours are like.

Another interesting side note regarding the Buchla style knobs is I believe there were only two Oberheim synths after the original company folded. The Gibson Oberheim OB-Mx co-designed by Don Buchla and the Viscount Oberheim OB-12.

It does look nice with the blue knobs. It reminds me I am going to likely need new knobs for my XTk. The originals are beginning to break down and feel sticky.

“As is. Well taken care of. Smoke free home. Note: The LED light on LFO 1 doesn't light up. Never did. This does not affect LFO 1s performance. All buttons and knobs respond to input. A non issue, really. Just fyi.

If you're looking at this you probably already know what it can do. Deceptively powerful little synth (3 oscillators!!) 2 LFOs with an all analog signal path. Control via the keypad, built in sequencer, cv or midi!”

"Octave cat Mk1 duo/mono analogue synth in good working order and good condition for a 1976 built machine !
Sounds like no other, this thing is a beast and will blow all the newer modern analogues off the shelf. It has 2 oscillators and you can mix 7 waveforms simultaneously, the lowpass filter is very vintage sounding (maybe a little moogish) and when modulated with an oscillator it can sound like a vintage modular system !
Comes with the original manual and power lead !"

See if you can ID the synth at 2:30 (hint in the channel labels at the bottom of this post - don't look if you want to try and guess). If it's what I think it is, it has a much smaller than I thought. That or it's just the angle in the video.

R.I.P EMX DIES on FILM !!!! LIVE ACTION


Published on Jul 25, 2015 j j

This one in via j j. That moment when you realize your synth just died. Ugh. I know the feeling. My OB-Xa finally bit the dust. I think it was due to the installed Numera MIDI finally giving out. I plan on picking up an Encore MIDI kit for it. Until then it sits on its side waiting.

For j j's EMX it appears it was the power supply. He verified by swapping it with the ESX per the following:

"I thought it was a fuse when it cut out.. but its was the DEAD POWER SUPPLY ON EMX ....so swished for the SX's
