Haruo Yamashita's Vintage DIY Modular Featured at the 2015 Japanese Analog Synth Builders' Summit


This year's ASBS15 event was held on Saturday, November 28.  You'll find pics of the event here and here.  Of particular interest was a vintage DIY Modular by Haruo Yamashita.  This is actually the first post on MATRIXSYNTH to feature the system. The links below will take you to more info.

via Sam Hoshuyama who attended the event:

"The greatest thing this year was a booth displaying the original modular synth of the legendary SDIY papers published in 1977 by Haruo Yamashita.  They were issued as a series of magazine articles, and have been a legend for 30 years. They were recently published in November as a book with a new description and new schematics using modern components. The booth was invited after the publication.  You can find Yamashita's site here." [Googlish translation here]

via the seller: "I’m the sole owner of this cool synthesizer module, i got it brand new when it was current (probably around 2001-2003) and used it lightly since then. This is my 2nd unit and i mostly used the other one. Never gigged, only used in my non smoking home. I always was very gentle with it. It has the latest OS (1.11 R34) on it.

It’s a very nice synth with a unique sound, the filter distorts in a non linear way that i have not heard any software imitation emulate.

No visible scratches on it, all knobs feel smooth and buttons are all responsive as they should. It’s not brand new but it is in mint condition.

The unit works very well but please be aware that sometimes after using it for many hours, it turned silent. I had to switch it off and on again. It did this a few times when i was using it a while ago but i could not reproduce it when i tested it for 90 minutes before packing it. It could happen again or it could be a bug that occurred under my specific use case.

It is complete with original 120 volts power adapter, box, manual and there’s still the registration sheet with it."

MOOG SOURCE vs. PRODIGY Analog Synthesizer - sound battle


Published on Dec 2, 2015 RetroSound

"(c) 2015 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

Moog sound battle
MOOG Source (1981) vs. MOOG Prodigy (1979)

This demo video only show the character of the two synths with near indentical sound programs.

The Prodigy sound is more dry/raw and the sync sound is really stunning.
The Source has a lot more low end in the sound and the sound character is a bit different to the other Moog synths.

Both are fantastic synths."

"In storage for a number of years – and exclusively used in a smoke-free recording studio – it was never on the road and was always handled with care.

It's ready to play, has that great Oberheim sound and looks like a brand new instrument.

All the keyboard contacts have been restored and are in excellent working order and all 8 voices are in tune.

It's in excellent working condition. *****The only issue I have detected is a slight hiss that can be heard when playing single keys on the upper 2 octaves of the keyboard - the hiss is not audible when playing chords on the upper 2 octaves..."

Architecture of Radio for iOS


architectureofradio from R Vijgen on Vimeo.

Thought this was pretty cool. Not technically a synth or music app, but it does appear to produce audio. Looks fun and can be used for background audio or mangling with effects. Could also make for interesting visuals during a live performance.


iTunes: Architecture of Radio - Richard Vijgen

"The infosphere, Visualized.

Every time we use our phones, tablets or laptops we are entering an invisible world of wireless digital signals. It is a world that we cannot see but that is literally all around us.
The Architecture of Radio is a 360 degree data visualization of what this world might look like. It shows the cell towers, GPS satellites and Wi-Fi routers around you that allow us to live our digital lives.

NOTE: If the app takes longer than a few seconds to load please check if location services (GPS) is enabled and the device is connected to the internet.

Why should I use this app?

Out of curiosity! We are increasingly dependent on a global ecosystem of digital signals. We use them for so many things, yet we cannot see them. We can see the roads we use to travel, the buildings we live in, but not the infrastructure that is changing the world. How can we understand this world without understanding how it works?
The purpose of this app is to make the invisible visible so we can look at it, think about it and discuss it.

Why Should I not use this app?

This app is not a measurement tool. It’s purpose is to inspire, to see the world through a different lens. The app is based on real world data and gives you a pretty good idea of the density of digital signals around you, but it won’t tell you where to move the couch to get a better WIFI signal.

So how does it work?

The Architecture of Radio is a data visualization, based on global open datasets of cell tower, Wi-Fi and satellite locations. Based on your GPS location the app shows a 360 degree visualization of signals around you. The dataset includes almost 7 million cell towers, 19 million Wi-Fi routers and hundreds of satellites.

Is this really what radio signals look like?

We can’t see radio with our eyes. The waves that we use for our cell phones and Wi-Fi are way outside the spectrum of visible light. In order to “see” radio, it has to be interpreted or translated into an image that we can see. There are many ways to do that but it will always be an interpretation.

The Architecture of Radio is an impression of the infosphere, a way of seeing it."

Kilpatrick CARBON Sequencer Review


VENNDIAGRAM sent in a link to his thoughts on the upcoming Kilpatrick CARBON sequencer which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter.

The following is the quick intro. You'll find the link to the full review below.

"Perhaps I can help clarify what it is and what it isn't for a few of you. The development unit has been in my studio for several days. Excellent and solid build quality with a well machined steel body and knobs, flimsy this is not with a lovely and crisp LCD display to boot.

The sequencer does much more than one would expect with six tracks. Any track can access any two outputs at once from a selection of USB Midi, Mid A, Midi B and the CV & Gate outputs. Keep in mind that the software running the machine is not finished yet but it is perfectly useable and I had it on for around 6 hours straight yesterday with no crashing, lock ups or unusual issues with the implemented features as they stand."

New Renders & Technical Drawing of the Upcoming 20 Electronics ECHT Hardware Synthesizer


You might remember the 20 Electronics ECHT coming from Axel Hartmann, the man behind many physical synthesizer designs and his own Hartmann Neuron. Here are a few new renders and a technical drawing from them. Only 20 will be produced in black and 20 in silver. See here for additional details.

"Late yesterday, our mechanical engineer Stephan Gries has released a set of technical drawings for the manufacturer. What you see here, is the main drawing, where all major parts are being described. More then 30 detail drawings show all bits and pieces of the mechanical setup. For me, these drawings almost look like art. From my experience I can say, that if the technical drawings look right and appealing, the product later on will also match this approach. What a piece of work; - I am so glad, we have Stephan here in house for more then 4 years now - he is a great engineer and a maniac of detail work."

Jam - Flexible Portable Eurorack Systems - Matttech Modular 30/10/15


Published on Dec 2, 2015 DivKidMusic

"On the 30th of October Matttech Modular held an event at MadLab in Manchester to present and demo 'Flexible Portable Eurorack Systems'. There was me (DivKid) presenting a drum and percussion based system. Matttech himself presenting a synth voice and Matthew Shaw present a more experimental 'west coast' set up.

The event was casual throughout with lots of chat, questions and trying out things together through the evening.

Here's a little jam we had at the end of the night.

Everything was caught on a single camcorder up above each case. We chose not to set up a second camera pointing at the people presenting as we wanted to create a casual event where people could play around and touch things and not potentially feel awkward with a camera right in their face. Audio was captured on a Zoom H4n.

Here's the event page from Madlab with all the links you'll need to check things out - http://madlab.org.uk/events/matttech-...

KOMA Elektronik Komplex Sequencer - MIDI Control


Published on Dec 2, 2015 KOMA Elektronik

"Here the Komplex Sequencer is controlling multiple parameters of the Access Virus C on MIDI Channel 2. Sequencer A controls the pitch. Sequencer B controls the filter cutoff via MIDI CC Message 40. Sequencer C controls the velocity which is routed in the Virus to also control its Oscillator FM Amount. Sequencer D controls Sequencer A's Sequence Start Point via CV.

The Komplex is slaved to the Roland TR8's MIDI clock. The MIDI Start / Stop option (step button 10) in the Komplex Mode Menu is switched off and on to control which sequences start and end when the TR8 is started and stopped. Meanwhile, output range and gate length are manually varied to change up the sequence throughout."

DreamsOfWires - Arpeggist & Magellan (iPad)


Published on Dec 2, 2015 DreamsOfWires

"I was mucking about with Arpeggist and Magellan on my iPad, so I thought I'd share it. I was thinking about the video game series 'Mass Effect' whilst making this, so I added some poorly recorded footage from my TV. I've played all 3 games through 3 or 4 times each in the past, so I guess that makes me a fan.
I strongly recommend listening with headphones, much of the sound is lost using mobile/laptop speakers. No additional processing/effects/mixing was used, all you can hear is Magellan only.
I am going to do more analogue stuff soon."
