"BOMBsessions: Xeno & Oaklander
By Clinton Krute
The music of the Brooklyn-based group Xeno & Oaklander seems to come from an earlier time, when the beeps and whirs of the analog synthesizer began to creep up from the underground into the mainstream of pop music (or drag it down to the depths, if you prefer). The late ’70s and early ’80s synth music from which their work draws was a reaction to the sense of the alienation brought about by living in world that was becoming more and more digital. Sean McBride and Liz Wendlbo, the duo behind the project, still find these sounds relevant today, in both theme and means. Xeno & Oaklander excavate a forgotten music, re-imagining its forms for the present with a defiant and romantic nostalgia. Their debut album Sentinelle, out now on Wierd records, is a testament to their skill at “shaping electricity” and is overflowing with icy drones, oscillating tones, and excellent (and danceable) songwriting.
After an epic performance of “Preuss” (a title taken from the particularly noisy auto body shop adjacent to their studio), McBride and Wendelbo sat down with BOMBsessions in their Williamsburg “synth museum,” to discuss the poetics of their songwriting, the relation of their vocal lines to Derrida’s Glas, and moving contemporary music forward by digging into the past. Catch Xeno & Oaklander on March 5th at the Cameo in Brooklyn before they leave for a European tour.

Available here. Note this is Jörg Schaaf of Radikal Technologies and formerly Quasimidi. You can here a demo of the soundset in this previous post.
"This is the essence of Mr. Schaaf's experience with Blofeld. Mr. Schaaf is Musician, Sounddesigner and Composer for almost 30 years. Besides creating soundscapes, he develops electronic music instruments for his own company, Radikal Technologies.
This set contains a very broad spectrum of sounds, as it combines the sampling capability in Blofeld with typical subtractive synthesis.

CC+ Chroma Mackie C4 Editor
via James R. Complin on the Rhodes Chroma list:
"I've made a set of templates for the Mackie C4 controller for the CC+
interface. It might also work with the ChromaCult interface but I can't
test it since I no longer have one. If it does work (or if it doesn't) with
the ChromaCult interface let me know. It is on the Chroma site at
http://www.rhodeschroma.com/?id=mackieC4 . The page has screen shots of the
5 pages in the editor and some more information. I think it should be
fairly straight-forward. There are 2 files you need. The c4i file is the
sysex specification and parameters for the Chroma. The c4l file is the
template layout file. It contains the labels, pages, etc. If you prefer a
different layout on the C4 then the one I have made, you easily can make a
new layout without having to edit anything in the c4i. Let me know if you
find any errors, have questions, or requests for changes/additions.
Considering the C4 can be had readily for $300-$400 it's a heck of a value
in my opinion. If you are considering getting one, keep in mind that Mackie
support for the product is not officially but realistically at an end.
While it is a great sysex and cc controller, it does not support checksums -
something to keep in mind if you are planning to make editors for your
equip. Enjoy!

Update via 7ate9 in the comments: "the IBK is not a sequencer but a MIDI controller
see http://www.ibk-midi.de/e7.htm"
I remember this now along with the 4-Control pictured below.
Excerpt (be sure to see the site for more): "The special feature that distinguishes the 10CONTROL from other products on the market is the ability to control jump-free many parameters of hard- or softwaresynthesizers via midi. Much more expensive controllers use motorfaders to perform this feature. The 10CONTROL uses endless dials instead and through that it makes available the same functionallity for a much more reasonable price.With jump-free controlling, you do not have to snap, catch or hold a button until you have reached a value with your fader before you slightly want to change it. You just select one of up to 100 pages and increase or decrease the value of your desired parameter.
The get the full advantage of these sophisticated features, the soft- or hardware to be controlled must be able to send initial values and it must keep the 10Control updated if the soft- or hardware itself changes a value, for example by recalling a new sound.
As presented at the Musikmesse Frankfurt, this is supported by
Generator and Reaktor of Native Instruments
Pulsar of Creamware
LOGIC of Emagic
Live of Ableton"
"4CONTROLRemote Control Unit
4CONTROL has been developed in cooperation with NATIVE INSTRUMENTS. It is the ideal complement to computer screen and mouse and works best with the realtime software systems like GENERATOR. 4CONTROL allows comfortable, intuitive and sensitive operation of the synthesizer and effect parameters. The innovative concept of this device is based on incremental control dials and adapter software for your PC. 4CONTROL allows direct and immediate access to the parameters. Discrepancies between the position of hardware controllers and the software display are now a thing of the past. With the 4CONTROL, NATIVE INSTRUMENTS offers a compact and intelligent MIDI controller at an attractive price.
* 4 high resolution continuous dials and 2 freely assignable buttons
* Output as 6 MIDI controllers with adjustable base controller number
* Convesion to arbitrary Midi commands using PC software
* Adjustable MIDI channel and merging for MIDI input
* Power supplies through MIDI-IN, batterie or main power
* Power LED
* Dimensions : Width 150mm, Depth 105mm, Height 50mm
Available summer 1998 4CONTROL is direct supported from REAKTOR and DYNAMO. With a little included Utility Converter Software the 4CONTROL is able to produce MIDI-Signals, that means, 4CONTROL could be used by any MIDI-Application.

via this auction"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roland Rhythm 55 (sometimes known by its model number, the Roland TR-55), is a preset drum machine (or "beatbox"), produced by Roland in 1972.
It was one of a trio of drum machines released by Roland that year, offering features intermediate between those of Rhythm 33 (TR-33) and Rhythm 77 (TR-77).
"TR" stands for "transistor rhythm".

The Rhythm 55 had analogue voice circuits to produce its drum sounds, and offered approximately 20 permutations of preset rhythms."Blue Roland SH-101 With White Led's

I seem to recall Howard Jones having one of these.
Update via ErrorAudio in the comments:
"There seems to be a lot of mystery and misinformation regarding these.
This was a mod that Moog developed and published through Norlin music Factory Service Bulletin NR:1312 in July 1981. The mod was also offered as a factory upgrade, that could be performed by retailers and the kit included all parts, stickers, and drilling template. It is unclear if the kits could be purchased by consumers, but given that the installation manual references Radio Shack soldering equipment, there is a chance that it was.
From the Norlin service bulletin: "This section provides updating information on the first 11,000 Prodigys produced and also presents various ways to modify the synthesizer for inter-facing. Instruments below serial number 4160 are very difficult to modify and require skillful and delicate use of a soldering iron as described below."
Interestingly there were two mod kits with two different parts lists. One for units with serial numbers below 8078 with 16 different part numbers (excluding wires), and one for units with serial numbers above 8078 (the units with standard cv interface installed) with only 7 parts part numbers (excluding wires). This suggests that there were 3 major revisions of the prodigy including the sub 4160 s/n units.
This might not be the full story but should hopefully shine a bit of light on these units."
