"As you can see I the pics, this vintage, c 1975 Octave Cat (Arp odyssey) is in excellent condition. This is a GENUINE, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE synth. It has just been fully serviced and calibrated, and is in 100% perfect working order. Every key, function, knob, slider and switch operates as designed, and they synth sounds...amazing. This synth also has with full cv/trig/gate ins and outs for interfacing with other synthesizers, expansion modules, or your midi/cv kit. Awesome.

This synthesizer makes all of the beeps, boops, squishy leads, booming basses, and wacky modulation noises you want. You can also achieve wild cross-modulation between the oscillators by switching them into unison mode and using the vco2 pitch to pit them against each other. She also has ring mod, s&h, pink/white noise and audio in for the famous arp filter. (I love running ext audio through it w the sample/hold modulating. -the trick they turned into a $350 moog Murf ;). The synth is in terrific cosmetic condition, with only minor wear."

Dave Smith Instruments "In the Spotlight with the Prophet 12" with Louis Faro

The seventh in the Dave Smith Instruments' "In The Spotlight with the PRO 2" series is currently up with Louis Faro here.

"Louis Faro is a full-time, professional pianist, keyboardist, composer, arranger, and producer. He graduated from the Béla Bartók Jazz Conservatory in Budapest, Hungary in 1976 where he studied with Kornél Kertész and Gustav Csík. He began his professional career at age 17, later moving to Chicago where he played with such greats as Michael Manson (bassist for George Duke), Richard Patterson (bassist for Miles Davis, David Sanborn, Roberta Flack, Boz Scaggs), Chuck Webb (bassist for Stevie Wonder, Joe Sample, Ramsey Lewis), Kirk Whalum, and Martha Wash (C&C Music Factory).

Louis currently performs extensively in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. He continues to broaden his fan base with his energetic and compelling blend of jazz, r&b, funk, latin, and classical styles. His original compositions feature bold melodies and rhythms, a unique breadth of musical language, and a mastery of modern synth media."

Dave Smith Pro 2- Rhythmic Sound Design

Published on Oct 27, 2016 iVardensphere

See DSI's interview with iVardensphere here.

"Hey crew! Today we have the Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2. This is, hands down, one of my favourite synthesizers of all time. It's extremely flexible and sounds stunning throughout the creative process. In this video I'm explaining how I use the machine to create rhythmic atmospheres to work within the context of my tracks. Quite often a track just needs to sound 'fuller' and I use the patches I create here to give them that missing depth.

You can hear much of the Pro 2 on my most recent release- iVardensphere: Fable.

This video is made in conjunction with Long & McQuade Music Instruments. If you'd like to try out a Pro 2, be sure to head to an L&M near you."

The Synth Sounds of John Carpenter: Halloween, The Fog, Assault on Precinct 13

Published on Oct 27, 2016 Reverb.com

"John Carpenter has been a master of horror, suspense, and science fiction for 40 years, Directing cult classics such as Halloween, The Thing, and Big Trouble In Little China. But many do not know that Carpenter was also the man behind the soundtracks for nearly all of his films, often using synthesizers and keyboards of the day to craft sounds that are now synonymous with Horror and Science Fiction.

In this video, Justin DeLay shows us how to approximate three classic Carpenter themes on synthesizers of the day, and gives tips and suggestions on how you can be inspired to experiment at home, all while getting followed by a mysterious Shape...

Some good synth spotting. And yes, they do perform with them live. If you get a chance to see them, do not miss it. It's a rare chance to see a full ensemble of synths performed live, and they are very, very good at what they do. I actually recorded some their live performance that I still need to review, and hopefully upload at some point.

This black and white animated videoclip elaborates the visual experiences of a distant past in a highly contemporary language.

This work explores the tradition of the Thaumatrope, the nineteenth-century optical toy acknowledged as a precursor of moving image media. It is a disk with a picture on each side, attached to two pieces of string, whose twirling creates the illusion of interpenetration of the parts.

In the videoclip, the soft oscillation of the disk is accompanied by the slightly hinted movements of expressive nineteenth-century faces, turning their glances into smiles or grimaces. These faces call back to humanity, while the music weaves the weft of a mantra; the insertion of abstract elements and geometric graphics moves the vision towards a typically electronic imagery. The flight of the insects on the disk at the ending becomes a metaphor for the living buzzes of the modular synthesizers’ sounds.

The short loops remind of both the patterns of techno music, with its obsessive rhythms, and the circular processes from the 19-century Thaumatrope which re-activate the visual impact through the digital-born animated GIF, by means of a fast and highly effective cinematic language. The audiovisual experience of the videoclip becomes a micro-object that intertwines several contemporary artistic practices, as well as recovering the heritage of the optical toys, suspended between stillness and motion.

Some details via www.play-joue.com:

The Concept

Joué is an innovative and evolving instrument simplifying digital music playing. It offers beginners and professional artists a unique level of expressivity and spontaneity.

Joué is made of wood and is equipped with a pressure sensitive sensor on which magic modules are placed. Modules like piano keys, guitar strings, drums pads or 3D control surfaces offer an infinite playground for musicians.

Joué connects to smartphones, tablets or computers using a USB cable. When touched, magic modules send data to your favorite DAW or virtual instrument using MIDI protocol.
Thanks to the high sensitivity of its sensors and to the unique texture of the modules, Joué offers a completely new playing experience. It allows natural gestures such as vibrato, bending, finger drumming and high velocity sensing normally reserved to traditional instruments to being used with digital and electronic instruments.

Thanks to the high sensitivity of its sensors and to the unique texture of the modules, Joué offers a completely new playing experience. It allows natural gestures such as vibrato, bending, finger drumming and high velocity sensing normally reserved to traditional instruments to being used with digital and electronic instruments.

Each module can be configured using the Joué editor software. Once the module is tuned, the configuration is stored in the module itself allowing exchanges during a live performance."

Roland MC-505 with AIRA Skin

via Mark Kunoff aka @SoltecAudioViz, and featured on CDM, who had the following to say on it. :)

"Now having let the genie out of the bottle, there’s no saying where Roland will turn next with reboots and reissues. But some people are evidently not content to wait. So... we see this lovely image of the 1998 Roland MC-505 groovebox, reimagined for people who love that black-with-Matrixsynth green-trim look of the new AIRAs."

Yes, MATRIXSYNTH green. :)

A part of me always wondered how many people associate the AIRA black on green with MATRIXSYNTH, and of course if the site actually influenced the look of them. That would be quite a compliment.



Update via @SoltecAudioViz: "Confirmed w owner, Andy Graham who up'd his design to @StyleFlips. and said 'on ebay in a few days'."

Pissed On Vintage Yamaha CS60 8 Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

Man!

Yep, apparently it happened.

"Unfortunately this CS60 was the victim of some naughty feline who often used it as a place to relieve him/herself. We cleaned it the best we could although it still smells of urine, and the synth does not seem to be 100% functional. All the keys work, and the knobs/switches/parameters do effect the sound but when 1 note is played in succession, the pitch jumps around to seemingly random notes. There is also corrosion on many of the boards. So it will need some restoration, although it's not dead by a long shot."
