RAI Studio of Musical Phonology
Part 1
"In 1951, the first electronic music studio was conceived from scratch at the WDR Radio of Cologne (Germany) to enable the composition of electronic music sounds.
Briefly, the concept of studios evolved up to the 1955 design of the Phonology studio in Milan by Luciano Berio and Bruno Maderna. With nine oscillators, various filters and other sophisticated equipment , the presence of a technician/musician (Marino Zuccheri), the studio was the best equipped in the world at that time."
Part 2
"Marino Zuccheri was the sound engineer of the famous Milan RAI (Italian Broadcasting Company) Electronic Music Studio, and he worked with Berio, Nono, Maderna, Cage, Pousseur among the others, and he gave birth to some of the great masterpieces of early electronica. He was the one who actually knew how to operate the equipment."
Part 3
"Original Luciano Berio's off-camera commentary: "This is the RAI Studio of Fonologia in Milan, one of the first electronic music studio. There are sound generators, filters, tape recorders, modulators, mixers and also excellent technicians (Marino Zuccheri). Here you can find all you need to produce electronic music in a good mood. It's necessary when you have to go back and forth on the sound equipment, to do a hundred of manual hand-works and to patiently cut the magnetic tape with the scissors".

Music From Outer Space SoundLab
via this auction.
I never get tired of the designs people come up with.
Music From Outer Space SoundLab
This is a handmade Soundlab analog synth designed by Ray Wilson and put together /modified by me. It has the following MODS:
-FINE TUNE VCO1,2
-VCO MODULATION
-TIMING MODS FOR VCO1,2 and REPEATER
-BLUE LED INDICATORS.-internal 9v power supply
-Arcade Button for Manual Trigger.
Everything else is standard Soundlab. My unit is made of Tranparent Plexi Glass Panels and wood casing. It has Highest Quality Laminated Artwork. The AC power adapter is included.
NOTE: out of the box this thing uses CV and GATE inputs. To connect midi you need a CV to MIDI converter. They sell em here at ebay. However, out of the box one could still make sounds with the onboard Pink Arcade trigger. The Midi only understands note on/off and pitch change.
All resistors are 1% tolerance, and cabling is CAT5 single strand internal. Thoroughly tested and mother approved.
I have sound demos of the unit being sold here."

Andromeda A6 Tips and Tricks
There's been some discussion in the comments of this post regarding the Andromeda A6 and it's ability or inability to produce vintage sounds including snappy bass and leads. The comments made me think of how diverse the A6 is and it reminded me of the Andromeda A6 Tips and Tricks on the excellent Andromeda A6 Community Website. If you have an A6 take the time out to explore it a bit. The A6 actually has an "Engine Optimizer" section that allows you to adjust the settings below. This has often been said to result in what sounds like snappier envelops settings. If you have an Andromeda the following is worth a try. Set up an arpeggio with an attack of zero, short decay and sustain of zero then flip through the different settings. You will hear the difference. This is an example of how much detail in control the Andromeda offers. BTW, if anyone can create a sample of this, send it in and I'll post it.
"11.7 SETTING THE ENGINE OPTIMIZER:
The engine optimizer is a function hidden in the “Process” menu. The normal “compromise” timing of the Andromeda works well for bass and pad sounds, but it could be made better for either type of sound.
Hit “Process”, then turn soft knob one all the way to the right hand side to select the engine optimizer. Then hit soft knob one to select this function.
The engine optimizer has several settings for VCO:
*Normal – The default.
*Fast – Fast pitch changes, good for bass sounds.
*Smooth – Smooth pitch changes, better for pad sounds that aren’t too slow.
*Mushy – Good for deep drones and slower sounds.
The engine optimizer also has several settings for VCA:
*Normal – The default.
*Fast – Fast filter changes, good for bass sounds.
*Slow – Slow filter changes, better for long sweep sounds.
*Medium – Medium percussive, for slower bass sounds.
In general, you want “fast” VCO changes, and either “fast” or “medium” filter changes (depending on whether you are doing techno bass or more of a funky bass feeling). This is not a hard and fast rule; not every sound benefits from this."

A6 vs System 100M | System 100M vs A6

Via Javier:
"Hi Matrix,
I did a comparison between the A6 and Roland System 100M after reading some people´s comments about the A6 not sounding "vintage". I posted it here [electro-music.com]. and the link is this [Twango embedded above]. To make it more fun, I´m not going to tell which is which, and I´ll let people decide. If you want you can post it in your site, with a poll or something. One synth´s on the left, the other on the right. One of the sides has a little beep at the beginning for avoid confusion between left and right channel. So, which synth´s on the click side??? (there´re some cues that may help, because I did it very fast and left some details unpolished)"

Alesis Andromeda A6
Title link takes you to shots via this auction."Real Analog Powerhouse
The Andromedas fully analog signal path is controlled by a high-speed Motorola Coldfire microprocessor, offering 16-voice polyphony with 16-part multitimbral capability. Andromeda features two analog oscillators per voice, with standard waveforms (available simultaneously), suboscillators, hard and soft sync, and more. It provides two analog filters per voice: these 2-pole (multimode) and 4-pole (lowpass) resonating filters are classically-derived designs, and offer you an astounding range of sonic variability.
Andromeda also provides external audio inputs that allow you to route any signal through its filters. Andromeda has three LFOs, each with six waveforms and many powerful features. It also has three 7-stage, 3-level envelopes capable of functions never before found in any analog synthesizer. An extensive mod matrix offers you an enormous freedom in configuring Andromedas sonic firepower, adding to its monstrous capabilities.
In-Depth Control of Your Sound
Andromedas 61-note synth-weighted keypad features velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, and its ribbon controlled offers multiple, assignable functions. A distinctive, futuristic front panel features 72 knobs and 114 buttons (the majority are single function), optimally arranged for rapid-fire tweaking and in-depth experimentation. Andromedas large, backlit LCD display provides real-world values of parameters (time, frequency, BPM, etc.) and high-resolution graphics. No other synth has ever offered such a sophisticated, informative control panel for creating analog pyrotechnics.
Extensive features
In addition to its real analog synth engine and hands-on interface, Andromeda provides a wide range of performance features, including multiple keyboard modes, portamento with nine slopes, and legato functions. For added grins, Andromeda provides a built-in arpeggiator and analog-style sequencer with MIDI sync, high quality digital effects Z(reverb, chorus, echo and more), and a nasty little analog distortion circuit. Internal program memory features 256 preset and 128 user-defined programs. Andromeda also offers a PCMCIA-format memory card slot for additional programs and mixes.
Polyphony: 16-voice, 16-channel multitimbral * Synthesis Method: Real analog subtractive * Oscillators: 2 oscillators (with subs) per voice, 5 waveforms available (sine, triangle, square, up saw, down saw) * Filters: 32 total - 2-pole multimode resonating filter per voice, 4-pole lowpass resonating filter per voice * Program Memory: 256 preset and 128 user-defined * Mix Memory: 128 user-defined * Audio Outputs: 16 mono outputs, one for each of 16 voices (eight 1/4" TRS jacks * Stereo main outputs (two 1/4" jacks) * 2 mono aux outputs (two 1/4" jacks) * Stereo headphone output (1/4" TRS jack) * Audio Inputs: Two 1/4" jacks * External Audio Filter Inputs: Three 1/4" jacks - one each for Voices 1-16, Voice 15, and Voice 16 * Pedal Jacks: Pedal/CV, Switch and Sustain - each with dedicated 1/4" jack * MIDI Connections: MIDI In, Out, Thru * Memory Card Slot: PCMCIA-format * Power: 100-230 VAC, 50/60 Hz 30W * Dimensions (WxHxD): 40.1" x 4.8" x 16.1" (1019mm x 122mm x 409mm) * Weight: 47lbs.

New York Times Features the FM3 Buddha Machine
"A few years ago, an experimental music duo called FM3 toured Europe, playing a 40-minute set that the duo’s founder Christiaan Virant describes as “very reductionist, very minimalist, very sparse.” He and Zhang Jian, who are based in Beijing, performed on laptops. Some of these compositions were later released on a CD by Staalplaat, a specialty label based in Amsterdam; it sold about a thousand copies. In the context of avant-garde music, that’s not bad: “If someone can sell 2,000 CDs,” Virant says with a laugh, “they’re like a superstar.” So it’s hard to find the right superlative to describe what happened when some of that same sparse music was released again — not on CD but in a little plastic box called the Buddha Machine. Two years later, sales are approaching 50,000 units and still going strong."Title link takes you to the full article. via matthew.
JH Frequency Shifter PCB Update
Via JH on AH:
"I've soldered all components to the prototype board of the main FS-1A PCB, and made a quick demo in connection with an old Dome Filter board (that I had originally made for the FS-2). It's all hooked up with alligator clips, and connected to the insert path of my mixing console because I needed a microphone preamp. I think it's a quite stupid demo, but it shows that the new board works, and I think the sound is very clean for a frequency shifter!
New demo (boring, but showing off some of the sound quality):
http://electro-music.com/forum/download.php?id=8848
Older demos (more dramatic);
http://www.jhaible.de/mp3/jh_ber_1.mp3
http://www.jhaible.de/mp3/jh_ber_2.mp3
Unfortunately, I'll have to make a redesign of the main PCB. I noticed that some of the LM13600s I have in the drawer don't work properly, because their gm matching is too bad for that application. In my prototype, I've used a NE5517, and it works perfectly; but that doesn't mean every NE5517 would. So, I'm adding a gm balancing potentiometer to the new design, which will fix the problem, but which means extra investment in another prototype.
I also have ideas for the second board. I'll probably include an extra string of all pass filters, for a deeper Barberpole Phaser effect. And maybe an aread with veroboard-like structure, for everyone to experiment with additions of his/her own. More about the 2nd board later.
I think even though I expect considerably less demand for this project than for the Tau phaser (it's a more difficult project, after all!), the price per board could be similar, so expect something around 55 ... 60 Euro for the set of 2 boards.

Title link takes you wolzow's Yamaha SY22 page where you will find a sysex viewer, a link to the operating manual, links to other resources and some notes on the synth."The sounds (voices, as Yamaha calls them) are normally combined of 4 different waveforms (2 samples, two FM) and this process is controllable with a cute joystick (this is the 'dynamic vector synthesis' part). The manual has a table exposing the ingredients of the factory sounds. I was curious about how the rest of the sounds (found on the net, that can be loaded via sysex dumps) are made up, so I examined the sysex spec and wrote a small utility to create similar table with details for any sysex file."

Oberheim OB-MX 12 Voice Cross Section
via this auction."Rich, warm, swirlling textures are created with 32 knobs, 47 buttons, and many many MIDI controllable cross modulations(pan, pulse width, osc sync, even "analog" FM. Bright, M1 size green display, with a simple user interface. 3 LFO's(triangle, forward and reverse sawtooth, and random, with a sample and hold feature for generating "computeresque" LFO sounds or a square LFO) Up to 6 oscillators (Triangle, Sawtooth, Pulse Width) per voice. Oberheim Filter(with adjustable resonance, hipass, lowpass, and bandpass), plus a "Mini-Moog" style 24 Db resonant low-pass filter. Signal to Noise ratio is EXCELLENT(better than some "super-clean" digital synths), around 88-92 db for most patches."
