Blofeld Only

Blofeld Only by Birds in Branches
"All sound by the Waldorf Blofeld, including drum beats.
A little compression and mixing eq the only additions.

Mostly my own patches or tweaks, no sample upgrade yet, just the standard desktop.

The quality, versatility and nuance and flexibility of this thing is such a godsend for my purposes.
I'm definately a waldorf convert."

"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this video entirely using Plogue Bidule. It is to show matrix sequencing with this software. As it is a real time video, the music starts after 30 seconds of complete silence, as i press a first note on the keyboard . No overdub and no correction. What i play is what you hear. Enjoy !"

Moog Prodigy Synthesizer Model 336A SN 10750

via this auction

"The Prodigy is capable of a full range of synthetic sounds, from a gentle whistle or flute in the upper ranges, to sub-level bass. Features two VCO's (Voltage Controlled Oscillators), one with a sawtooth waveform, a triangle waveform, and a rectangle waveform, the second with a sawtooth, a triangle, and a square waveform. These waveforms could be detuned up or down by more than a fifth of an octave, allowing for the creation of thick pads as well as atonal sounds. The two oscillators could be sync'ed as well, then altered using the pitch wheel. Two audio oscillators and a low-frequency modulation oscillator. The audio oscillator can be synchronized to generate unique waveforms. The audio signal is routed through the patented Moog filter for rich, full-bodied leadline sounds. The Prodigy’s performance controllers let you bend pitch and and vibrato at will. Synthesizer works great. Small dent in metal between "Loudness Contour" and "Moog Prodigy" emblems on case. All pictures are of the actual keyboard up for auction. Manual may be viewed at: [link]"

Doing Electro Harmonix Voice box treatments on the electribe drummachine

YouTube via RothHandle
"A interesting yet exhausting day in the studioI started out having about ten music teachers for a visit in the studio. Occasionally I have school classes coming by but this was the first time I had teachers which obviously felt kind of oddThey know so much more about these things than I do.

After the visit I actually sat down for myself with a cup of Coffee for a while and read some of a Tom Waits book I picked up a while back.

After the break I wanted to try some experiments with the Electro Harmonix Voice box pedalSo this is todays batch of videos. After these experiments I headed out for some Japanese lunch and then off to Alar Suurnas wonderful Shortlist studio to listen to a fresh mix of Nanook of the Norths track Get to work. It didnt get finished today but it is already sounding very promising.

This film was shot at Roth Händle studios in Sundbyberg, Stockholm, Sweden. This is where I spend my days producing and recording albums and artists. If you are curious to find out more about the studio please drop by www.roth-handle.nu It hasnt been updated in ages but you might find some stuff of interest there."

The Technox is a specialist on the techno / dance area 19 "Racksynthesizer with 512 single sounds and 24 drum kits.
In performance mode can be up to 4 superimposed single sounds.
It might include 50 RAM and 50 ROM presets are available.

Through the integrated arpeggiator sound programs can be true to life. In particular, the areas in the Performance mode will benefit.
I must say these have to last me very much. You can basically take a chord, a little twist on Modwheel and you're floating in the "Trance Ambient Heaven."

A device class that I should make a heavy heart. But I'm hardly on my hobby is collecting dust and Technox viiiiiiel too bad.

A few key data: 512 single sounds. 2 effect processors with 42 algorithms, low-pass filter with resonance, arpeggiator, Multi-Algorithm Sound Synthesis (MASS),
21 votes, 16 parts, terminals: MIDI in, MIDI out, MIDI Through, 2x 6,3 jack, 1x Footcontrol, AC.

Waldorf Wave

"One of the rarest and most sought-after synths, the Waldorf Wave . This example (serial number 101) is a two-owner machine, not very much used at all. It is 32-voice, **now with OS 1.803! - the owner says 'so, there is the choice between 1.68 or 1.803. of course, you can always go back to 1.7, too. but i guess one would want to stick with 1.803 as it fixes several bugs and allows to read and analyse wav files and has the possibility to synchronize the LFOs to midi'.)**, the original manual, and a recently-bought flightcase - very useful (almost essential) with a precious instrument of this size and weight. The pneumatic struts (a universal fault with Waves after this number of years) are being newly replaced before the auction finishes. The display is well readable - see photo - though it isn't as bright as when it was new. The instrument is in/near Paris. VEMIA could collect, and deliver to northern France / Belgium economically, or bring it back to England, and then deliver or ship. (Or of course because of the flightcase it could be shipped direct from Paris to further afield!) The battery was changed very recently; and everything works as it should and sounds great. There were only 150 of these ever made, so as well as being a joy to play (great user interface, silky rich sounds) it is also highly collectable!"
