"This is half an effects box and half keyboard. It is triggered by and processes
external signals. It has cool distortion plus "Synthe Wah" If the TB-303 is
"acid" the X-911 is "crack" It has external FM input, VCF freq. mod input, Cv/Hz
in's/outs, Trig in/outs. It has Attack Decay Attack(ADA) envelope & for the
filter just Attack & Decay. this thing is amazing you flip from a twisted
filtered input to the sound triggering a "303-ish" type synth. or for some added
"CHEEEZ" switch the balance the "preset" side where you can use or combine
bass,tuba(why?) trumpet, dist. guitar,violin, flute(oh boy!) this is a totally
isolated synth from the "wave" based side.pulse,square, saw. Well to sum up this
this is a very unique piece! Very "dirty" sounding. An LFO would be nice as well
as a resonance control (+ self-oscillating) It looks like half of a TR-808. very
organic and unpredictable. UNIQUE. great for processing drums, guitar and
twisted vocals. *** This is an analog box and an incredible sound mangler from
the Korg MS series dynasty. Basically it's a pitch to CV oriented synth with
some "preset" sounds on one side and a synth section on the other that can be
set up as a tracking VCO or external processor. The preset sounds are
surprisingly interesting and each has one dedicated knob (Tone or in the case of
the violin, attack). You can turn on each individually nad/or stack any
combination of sounds (Tuba, Flute, and Dist Guitar are nice together IMO). The
Synth side is basically a processor. Autowah, envelope follower stuff, waveform
distortion and more are available. There are various wave settings for the VCF
and agaiun each has one dedicated knob for tweaks (usually attach or decay). It
has the MS20 Lowpass filter (w/cutoff knob) You can also detune the presets from
the VCO to make pseudo stringz and such (very Adrian Belewish). Again this can
be set to track with senstivity via the synthwah or a separate velocity switch.
There are various settings for input to adapt tracking from guitar to synth to
theremin or whatever. Of course this is all relative as all these units glitch
like crazy unless you set them up *exactly* right. Running a drumloop into it
will make the most wonderous mistracking and rhythmic shrieks you've ever heard.
Add the portamento or screw with the tune knobs and it get's very twisted. The
CV/Gate in tracks perfectly which makes this a great simple monosynth as well if
you have a midi->CV convertor that runs Htz/vt. The unti has a lot of
flexibility but excels at thin reedy type sounds. ******* 1/4" jacks on back: CV
in and out (Htz/Vt Trigger in and out VCF in FM in Front 1/4": Input Direct
output Effect Interval + Portamento + hold + on/off Output"

Remember this post on Folktek? Here's another item by them.
"The Music Box is a simple and primitive designed controller. A sequencer equipped with 18 banana patch points for controlling patchable analog synthesizers or any patchable music system. It is something of an artifact. Every switch, the cranking system, the panel, the triggers - all hand built.
The concept is simple. Turn the crank to activate switches and create a sequence...Each of the 9 switches has 2 banana patch cables associated with it. The Music Box is built into an extremely beautiful and very well built antique case (lab no. 107). We consider this piece a true usable work of art - designed as though it were locked away in a mad scientists attic for 100+ years and just now discovered."

Drum Machines
Title link takes you to a couple more shots of the Sequential Circuts TOM, Oberheim Drummer, Korg ER-1, and JoMoX Resonator sent my way via Brian Comnes."The TOM rocks - pitchable, reversible and stackable samples, real time over dub sequencing with auto-repeat ......and then you should hear what the M-resonator does to it - floor shaker par excellence"
Analog Systems Sound Samples
Title link takes you to a slew of samples of the Analog Systems modular with details for each.
John Duval - Hells Canyon
"This CD was recorded mostly on a Serge modular analogue music system with a little help from a few traditional keyboard synths. Most of the tracks were recorded all at once with little overdubbing and at least half the tracks were recorded as they were being composed with little or no rehearsal. No computers were used in the recording process but a small pro tools system was used in the final assembly just to put things together.The tracks that have overdubbings were eventualy mixed "live", that is, the mix was part of the performance."Title link takes you there. The full CD is available for streaming.

Remember this? Looks like it's taking shape. Title link takes you to more info on sequencer.de including a sample.
