The 'CLS 22' model was built from 1982 to 1988 and uses an exclusively analog signal. According to the manufacturer's official product brochure, Dynacord began developing the effect in the 1970s with the aim of imitating the sound of the mechanical rotor cabinet fully electronically and without wear. To do this, the manufacturer splits the input signal into a high-frequency and a low-frequency signal using an electronic crossover. Since the start-up and stop times of the two channels varied in a targeted manner, the rotor sound could be copied electronically. You could choose between fast speed (“Fast”), slow rotor sound (“Slow”) and untouched signal (“Stop”). In addition, the input level of the preamplifier, rotor balance, and output level of the signals could be adjusted between monophonic or stereophonic. On the back there is a power plug, jack sockets, XLR outputs, fine adjustments for the rotor speed and a footswitch input.

In 1989, a revised version of the device was released under the name “CLS 222”. This effect device supposedly now also uses a digital signal for signal processing, in contrast to the pioneer. However, according to the circuit diagrams in the service manuals, both the CLS 22 and the CLS 222 use purely analog circuits, including BBD chips (so-called “bucket chain memory”) for the signal delay. According to the manufacturer, the CLS 222 model could still be used for electric guitars, microphones and PA systems without any problems, although the previous model was designed more for keyboards
British rock musician Eric Clapton used a white “Dynacord CLS 222” from 1989 to 1996 as part of his Soldano/Cornish guitar routing system. The effects device came into the system for the B part of the Cream song Badge. On the original recording, Clapton recorded the part with an original Leslie speaker, but used the Dynacord as a replacement for the performances during the Journeyman World Tour and world tour in 1992.

The guitarist David Gilmour of the rock band Pink Floyd also used a “Dynacord CLS 222” in his guitar and effects device system, which, like Clapton, was also developed by the British electrical engineer Pete Cornish.

The guitarist The Edge of the Irish band U2 also used the “CLS 22” effects device. The French music producer and disc jockey Joakim Bouaziz uses a “Dynacord Leslie simulator CLS 222” in his New York Crowdspacer Studio.

Playing the Osmose! - Carlo Mezzanotte

video upload by carlomezz

"Developed by the French company Expressive E, this revolutionary instrument really expands the range of possibilities for real time control on a keyboard.Three different levels of polyphonic dynamics/aftertouch, polyphonic pitch control with lateral movement of the key, plus more traditional left-hand sliders... and a very poweful synth engine, the Egan Matrix, already in use on the Haken Continuum series of instruments.
On the unit I used, the sound programming was "locked", so I couldn't use the software editor, or store new sounds; I had to limit myself to tweaking some presets a little bit, and enjoying the wonderful performance capabilities."

Solar 42 anti-GAS therapy 💸

video upload by

"I created this song, that I named 'Drune', as a form of anti-GAS therapy with the respect to the Solar 42, where I set out to create an ambient piece with some form of drone bass together with a layer that used a 5-step sequence (the same number of steps that the Solar 42 sequencer has). I'm pleasantly surprised with how far I could get with the gear I already own.

I play the Expressive E Osmose live (using the factory patch called 'Stellaris') and send it to the Analog Four mkII where I add some reverb. The white noise and bass comes from a single, monophonic patch on the Analog Four mkII, where I play sustained drone notes utilizing all four voices. Everything then gets sent to the Syntakt where the additional elements are added, using a single pattern, before heading to the Analog Heat +FX for mastering. What you hear is recorded directly from the latter."

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - Moon Landing, Alien Concert (focus issue)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Two box jam, make in under 1 hour (or totally live).

Osmose and RC-505

Sadly my best take was just before this one, but I forgot to hit record!
Kids, always remember to hit record. What a dope I was... this one has some timing issues and messy playing. It's OK but I'm sad I messed up the best take. :-(

Also, sorry I messed-up the focus, not my day. :-P"

"My Planet, Arrakis, Is So Beautiful When The Sun Is Low" (EMS Synthi A, Cocoquantus 2, Osmose)

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"'My planet, Arrakis, is so beautiful when the sun is low.
Rolling over the sands, you can see spice in the air.'

This is a Dune inspired track that I made with my EMS Synthi A, Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2, Expressive E Osmose, Emergence Audio Cello & Viola Textures & Felt Instruments.

Even though I haven’t seen the new Dune movie yet I keep on reading, watching and listening to every little bit I can get my hands on. Who else is excited to see the new DUNE movie? 🥰

Thanks so much for watching!"

Time Corridors

"And another "modular Tetris" rearrangement session which led to some keyboard noodling which lead to a recording which lead to a video which lead to the need to add a lot more parts and video editing which lead to the reality that I have much more important things to be doing which caused me to stop where I was at which is why all you get is this unfinished thing! 😅
