Gakken SX-150 hacking the controller - tutorial

on Coagula here "In another post I wrote about the Gakken SX-150, now I explain how I created a "giant" controller (50cm) for this mini synthesizer, but in order to make this change I had to first understand a little more about the original control system. The strip on the Gakken SX-150 is simply a resistor of about 75 Kilohom. Looking at the schematics I found on the Matrixsynth blog I could think for an alternative to the control system of Gakken...."

boot problem ENSONIQ ASR-10

YouTube via noelkoutlis | October 30, 2010

"ASR-10 doesn't boot up, had to check the fuses and they seemed ok, also checked the cabling. After a while, the sampler booted up without a hitch. Background song: "20 February" written in 2002 with this sampler, because of the date 20-02-2002 but also because a dream (that's another story)"

Tristram Cary's EMS SYNTHI Up for Auction

via this auction
"For sale an early EMS VCS3 Putney mk1. A great sounding world renowned analogue synthesizer, that has a unique style and character all of its own. Plenty of information can be found on the internet and a marvellous resource is to be found here; http://thesynthi.de/ which also has an excellent informative forum. This used to be owned by composer and visual designer of the vcs3; Tristram Cary, who as well as supplying the music for the classic Ealing comedy "The Ladykillers" also provided incidental music for the Dr Who series in the 60's and 70's as well as many other notable compositions. (It is the synth that he is playing in his studio [below]) This was fully serviced by Robin Wood when I first purchased it through him and is a great sounding synth. Open to worldwide bidding."

The Dark - Marty The Vampire

"Cheery (not) little ditty written as its Halloween this weekend. Enjoy.
Main Bass Synth/Strings are from a Technics WSA1 (all in a single patch), Scream at the intro is from a Fairlight with Audio Damage Discord 2, SSL's X-Orcism plugin is used (I had to use it somewhere on this one) on the waterphone again from the Fairlight. Drums are a combination of BFD, Kore and an Akai XE-8 drum module. Choirs are an Orchestron sample from an Akai S5000, this is doubled up with the clasic Fairlight Sarah sound. Piano is Korg SG-1D with the chorus on, Wierd sounds under the vocals is a mixture of Camel Audio Cameleon 5000 and a Technics WSA1. This is all underpinned by the fabulous Hahaha CS33 playing the distorted bass and later on the echo distorted synth at the end. Lastly, the strings are from a Yamaha SS-30 String Synth with extra processing. Vocals use my secret weapon.
The track is available as a free download.

LSD - light sensitive delay

YouTube via chamberofsounds | October 30, 2010

Chamber of Sounds on eBay

"After much experimentation I present to you, the LSD, light sensitive delay module. The TCM is plugged into the Jupiter III, which is plugged into the LSD. The possibilities are endless, for creating acid, laced, spacescapes and polyrhythmic madness. The production model will look slightly different from this prototype and be available very soon only from ChamberOfSounds.com"

chamberofsounds | October 30, 2010

"Now this is insane, using our new LSD module to make tremolo with light. By placing a light-stick over the light sensor, we're able to get some real deep and unique tremolo & vibrato. It sounds like nothing else, guaranteed! Get yours very soon only @ ChamberOfSounds.com"

Tremklad's Corner Analog Workstation

via Tremklad's Corner (see the site for progress)

"I'm waisting time these days on finalising an enclosure to house this Thomas Henry Drum Voice Synth or Quad Bass++ or whatever it's called and a Sound Lab Mini Synth. For the layout, I'm using Avery Clear See through Labels (prod no 15665 for laser printers). It's not as clear as I thought, frosted like, but the enclosure's color is on the light side so it doesn't show much.
I'm spraying a protective clear coat over everything since the ink doesn't really stay put on the labels. One important advise if you plan to use these labels for your projects, these labels will stick silly if applied on anything else than a powder coated surface, be warned, if you have the slightest offset an need to realign this label you'll end up with a mess..."

New EMS SYNTHI Progress

Via Robin Wood of EMS on the Synthi Forum:

"Preparations to re-establish production of the original Synthi A and VCS3 Mk2 have been proceeding through the summer and we are now expecting the first completed units to be ready in January 2011. Currently we are building a large stock of assembled and tested circuit boards. This has taken quite a bit longer than expected, but you can rest assured that we are dedicated to ensuring a successful outcome, as well as the re-introduction of other EMS products to follow in due course. A new website will also be unveiled in 2010.

Once we start shipping the Synthis it should be posssible to give you an approximiate delivery date, and we will certainly contact you to advise you as the time draws near.

Best wishes - Robin Wood"
