"The CS-30 is a large, knob infested, black analog synthesizer with traditional features. It is a monophonic synth with extensive analog control and shaping. It also features a ring modulator, external audio triggering and a simple but useful 8-step sequencer for use as a sketch pad, pattern or arpeggio effect."

Don't put your finger in the fan.

"Kurzweil 250 RMX (it's labelled as a 225 RMX which was identical to the Kurzweil 250 RMX except it had fewer sound blocks in it from the factory which actually makes this unit VERY RARE to find - there were only a few made with this labelling.)

It has all four factory sound blocks A, B, C and D

It has version 6 software.

It has 1 MB sampling RAM.

QLS works fine with this unit, easily transferring sound patches and sequences to the unit via a compact Mac Classic computer (any Mac with a GeoPort and QLS software installed will work ) - of course you'll need to procure the Mac computer, QLS software and RS422 to MINI DIN 8 cable if you want to use that (I can ship a floppy disc of QLS 3.8 if you'd like with the unit for free - just let me know upon purchase).

A new lithium 3.6 volt battery was recently installed.

The display has been replaced with a much more visible display - this is very cool!

The fan has also been replaced as seen in the photo, however the fan cover is missing (so you may want to find some mesh to cover the fan).

It has all the knobs - nothing is missing and needs nothing to work right out of the box."

Check out the wavetable graphic when he plays it. So cool.

SSSR Labs - Kotelnikov SM042


Published on Oct 26, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's the full overview demo of the lovely gritty, characterful oscillator 'Kotelnikov' from SSSR Labs. It's a mix of 8 bit and 12 bit wavetables alongside an on board transient generator and VCA for basic voice functionality, killer AM overtones, FM and smooth or stepped wavetable morphing. Would love to hear your thoughts so leave a comment and feel free to ask any questions.

00:51 Features / Overview
- oscillator, wavetables, morphing, transient generator, LFO, envelope shapes, AM, FM, VCA, volume control, wave banks, ins and outs, filter switching and modulation.

04:00 Wavetables
- a detailed look and scan through the wave banks and wavetables available. 8 bit banks and the HD 12 bit bank with licensed Electric Druid waves and more.

07:26 Riff, bassline and beats
- a little riff with sequenced wavetable modulation. This is an idea of how it might fit a basic synth riff and beats style patch.

08:03 Ambient patching and slower melodies
- this patch explores Kotelnikov as a slower moving melody over a chordal background with added FX.

10:21 Transient Generator & modulation inputs / internal routing
- using the TG as an oscillator, AM (gorgeous glassy audio rate overtones), FM, wavetable modulation, LFOs, retriggering, envelopes and more!

18:59 Sync input
- here we hit the sync input (which is a hard sync 'reset to the start / zero crossing') with audio for a series of sync overtones that merge into and grit to the wavetables."

All The Wrong Stations | Field Kit FX, Tape Loop, OP1


Published on Oct 25, 2017 HAINBACH

"Koma Elektronik lent me a prototype Field Kit FX and their new power solution for mobile music making. I took them all out to the Tempelhofer Flugfeld for some outdoors music making. NEW TAPE ALERT: http://www.ultravioletlight.blue/prod...

Field Kit FX: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Preliminary specs on the power thingie:
Two independent power lines with the following specs:
-adjustable voltage for each line (9V or 12V)

maximum output current:
~1,2A @ 9V (up to ~2,4 A with two power banks)
~0,9A @ 12V (up to ~ 1,8 A with two power banks)
Those output currents correspond to 2.4A @ 5V at the input, which is the maximum output current of most power banks.

Input current consumption displayed with an LED Bar. Allows to safely use power banks with various output currents.
-----
Using HOSA Hopscotch cables for multiplying the signals and allow more complex FX routing."

Opposite Earth by Jeff Snyder, electronic version


Published on Oct 25, 2017 Jeff Snyder

"Opposite Earth by Jeff Snyder [of Snyderphonics]

This is an animated notation piece for an open instrumentation. It was written for PLOrk in 2016 and is intended to be performed by a combination of acoustic and electronic musicians, but this is a version that just uses electronic sounds. The graphic score is realized in javascript and the synthesis is all created using WebAudio.
The conductor changes the image components live to guide the course of the piece. For instance, the conductor can add and remove rings (performers), planets (pitches), and ticks (percussive sounds) at will. The color of the lines conveys which of five scales is used. Moons are played by the same performers that are handling the planet they orbit around.

Thanks to Drew Wallace for additional javascript magic!

//
If you want to try out controlling the piece yourself, visit https://spiricom.github.io/sunspots/p...

It's controlled with the computer keyboard and the mouse position.
` (the top left key below escape) selects all rings.
numbers 1 through 8 select individual rings.
9 makes rings visible or invisible.
0 adds or removes moons.
- adds or removes ticks.
p adds or removes planets
the arrow keys add or remove the "play" lines.
s, d, f, g, and h set the color of the next line you add (and therefore the scale)
z through / set the division of the ticks.
mouse X position is the size of planets - maps to decay time of notes.
mouse Y position is the blue/red color at the upper left hand corner of the screen. It maps to timbre, dark to bright.
