Syntom II Drum synthesizer

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

via this auction

"This listing is for one Syntom.

Built from instructions from an article in "Electronics and Music Maker" magazine from april 1983.
It's a very special drum synthesizer. Sounds a lot like some of the analog sounds in the Movement MCS drum computer. A pair of these make a great bass drum and snare. They can be triggered by an external trigger pulse or by hitting the internal pad.

If you buy both I'll include a power cable splitter so that both can be powered from one 9V supply (not included).

And again, this listing is for one of the two Syntoms."

See the Syntom & EMM labels below for more.

Syntom Article Featuring Warren Cann of Ultravox

Jesper found a PDF he had an an article featuring Warren Cann of Ultravox on the SynTom. You can find it here. Does anyone know the source of the article?

Update via Jesper: "According to a guy on the Ultravox EV-forum the Syntom article is from a magazine called "Electronics & Music Maker". The guy also says, that he is sure Warren said he would use it on Rage In Eden - and that he did that." E&MM also confirmed by slabman in the comments.

Hataken Interview


Back on March 31, I put up a post on Hataken, a Japanese DJ artist who primarily uses analog synths. At the time, Shane Chisolm, the manager of Don Juan Dracula mentioned Hataken was working on a remix version of DJD's "Take Me Home". Shane asked me if I'd be interested in doing an interview with Hataken, and I thought why not. It would be interesting to hear his perspective on the world of synths as a live DJ artist. The following is the result of that interview. Note, this is a long one. You will want to use page down to scroll through. If it is too long for you, I recommend reading one or two questions each time you visit the site. Each DIY item below would typically have been a separate post. There is a lot of interesting stuff here. That said, I start with an introduction followed by asking Hataken how it all started for him. Note the focus is primarily on synths as this site is about everything synth, and Hataken delivers. The gear he has both worked with and designed to meet his specific needs is overwhelming. There's also an interesting interlude on experimenting with frequency counters to produce specific frequencies of sound known to have healing properties, and of course there is a bit of the age old discussion of digital and analog.

Before we start the interview, I want to thank Hataken for taking the time out for this, and I want to thank Shane for suggesting it. It's a fascinating history of a DJ synth artist with interesting perspectives that I'm sure I will come back to over time. Be sure to check out the video and link to more at the end. And of course be sure to check out Hataken's website.

1. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Demo synth AMS-16 and drums ADS-8


"DIY synth AMS-16 and drums ADS-8 presents www.enmusic.by.ru"

YouTube via enginmusic. Sent my way via frederic.

Update: I sent an email to AH asking if anyone had more info on these. The following are the replies:
Florian

"The Drumsynth reminds to a tama TS305/306 series.
The Monosynth is according to a link in the kyrillian text an adaption of Ray Wilsons Soundlab Minisynth and the sequencer is derived from Thorsten Kloses software projects."

Synth Ollie:
"the drumsynth is based om some old e&mm diy-syndrum articles, synbal and syntom II"
