Elektron Octatrack Update - Scenes and the Optical Crossfader
follow-up to this post"The optical crossfader
Ruggedness and durability is paramount in a live setting and the smooth action 45mm crossfader meets these criteria with ease. Due to it being optical it is very resilient to both dust and humidity and with a life time rated to more than 5 million operations it is definitely going to stand the test of time. The crossfader in conjunction with the Scene functionality makes live improvisation with the Octatrack easy and rewarding.
Scenes
A Scene is a set of parameter values. All parameters that can be parameter locked can also be assigned to a Scene. At all times 16 Scenes are instantly available and ready to be assigned to the two Scene slots of the crossfader. The Scene assigned to slot A comes into full effect when the crossfader is at its leftmost position and the Scene assigned to slot B comes into full effect when the crossfader is at its rightmost position. For all other crossfader positions interpolation between the Scene parameters will occur. Scenes can be both muted and assigned in real time.
Scenes controlled by the crossfader make it possible to add sudden bursts of effects to a sound, make smooth transitions between tracks, pitch one loop up while another loop is being pitched down or to completely and utterly change the sound of a whole pattern. The choice is yours.
Check back every week for more Octatrack goodness!"

HAMMOND 102100 ANALOG SYNTHESIZER with Case
via this auction"THIS RARE VINTAGE MONOPHONIC ANALOG SYNTHESIZER (SERIAL # 392214) IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN WORKING CONDITION (ONLY AROUND 200 OF THESE WERE EVER PRODUCED!) - AND THIS ONE HAS EVERYTHING. IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY TESTED AND IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. EVERY KEY CONTACT FEELS & WORKS PERFECTLY - AND THIS SYNTHESIZER HAS A PARTICULARLY GREAT & ROCK SOLID, SMOOTH ACTION. ALL BUTTONS, SLIDERS & BOARD CONTACTS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
PROGRAMMING:THERE ARE SIX FACTORY PRESETS & ONE MANUAL PROGRAMMING POSITION ON THIS UNIT.
THE SIX PRESETS (FRENCH HORN, TUBA, VIOLIN, SAX, CLARINET & SOLAR ECHO) ARE PERMANENTLY FACTORY-PROGRAMMED PATCHES ACCESSIBLE BY THE COLORED BUTTONS TO THE RIGHT OF THE PROGRAMMER. IN ADDITION TO PROGRAMMING OPTIONS SUCH AS WAVEFORM SELECTION & OCTAVE RANGE, THERE ARE SEVEN FILTER POSITIONS, THREE FILTER CUT-OFF POSITIONS, THREE FILTER MODULATION POSITIONS, AND SEVEN FILTER ENVELOPE POSITIONS. THERE ARE TWO ATTACK SPEED POSITIONS & FOUR TYPES OF VCA ENVELOPE RELEASE. THERE ARE TWO PITCH MODULATION (VIBRATO) SETTINGS & ALSO OPTIONS FOR VIBRATO CONTACT DELAY.
THIS SYNTHESIZER HAS ONE OSCILLATOR WITH CHOICE OF TWO WAVEFORMS - SQUARE & SAWTOOTH. ALTHOUGH IT HAS A THREE-AND-A-HALF OCTAVE / FORTY-FOUR KEY KEYBOARD, IT HAS A SIX-AND-A-HALF OCTAVE RANGE. AS THIS UNIT WAS PRODUCED BY HAMMOND TO SIT ON TOP OF THEIR FAMOUS ORGANS, PROGRAMMING IS MODELED AFTER ORGAN DRAWBARS - THE THEORY BEING THAT ORGANISTS REMEMBER PATCHES BY DRAWBAR NUMBERS. FOR EXAMPLE, "444400200" ON A HAMMOND B3 EQUALS A CERTAIN TYPE OF LEAD SOUND. IT WORKS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY ON THIS SYNTHESIZER - ONCE YOU'VE DESIGNED A SOUND, IT BECOMES VERY EASY TO RECALL USING THIS SAME NUMBER SYSTEM.
THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE, YET SOLID-SOUNDING MONOPHONIC SYNTHESIZER WITH A GREAT KEYBOARD ACTION FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF ANALOG GLORY. IT BELONGS TO THE SAME GROUP OF EARLY MONO PRESET SYNTHESIZERS THAT INCLUDES THE ARP PRO SOLOIST, MOOG MINITMOOG & SATELLITE, ROLAND SH-1000, KORG MICROPRESET & MINIKORG."Korg x911 Analog Guitar Synth SN 271550

Lots of gain/sensitivity control, so you can get a much more reliable, better tracking sound versus other vintage effects of this type.

Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 MKII Drum Synthesizer
via this auction
"The Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 MKII combines extremely flexible drum synthesis with powerful sequencer capabilities. It is equipped with four MD-synths, each with its own special sonic flavor. You will have no problem conjuring forth sub-sonic kicks, snappy snares or wild FX. The possibilities to create percussive sounds are near limitless. To add further control over your beats, 16 freely assignable LFO's are available. Be warned though, the Machinedrum can be seriously addictive and no rehab is currently available to treat you. Sequencing is the middle name of the Machinedrum. Use the SPS-1 MKII to control both your internal sounds as well as your external MIDI equipment in great detail. It runs the show, both literally and figuratively speaking. Use the two external inputs to sculpt incoming sounds with the Machinedrum effects and filters. The SPS-1 MKII is not only a great drum machine, but also an extremely potent effects unit! Drum synthesis has never been this powerful!Features

"At first the Chimera bc8 felt like a random beast, and while it still does at times I have discovered that running it through the filter of the Korg Monotron is a good way to tame it. Great for rythmic bass patterns and random noise."

KORG microSAMPLER x Yasushi.K

"microSAMPLERをパワーアップさせるキャンペーン！世の中の全ての音を自分の楽器にできる！というあの頃みんなが夢見たサンプラーがこんなにコンパクトに、しかも電池駆動も可能。音を録った直後から和音で演奏できちゃうんです。
動画収録時に間違えて音声をモノラル収録してしまいました。実際にmicroSAMPLERから再生される音はもっと高音質です。

"microSAMPLER juice up the campaign! That all the sounds their instruments in the world! Everyone is so compact that time dreamed of a sampler, yet can also be battery operated. 'd Get a chord can be played immediately after recording the sound Tta.
I have mono sound recording during the recording the wrong video. MicroSAMPLER actually play through the sound is more high-quality sound.

"Hooked up the Moog Little Phatty to the Roland MC-4b, for a quick bit of Sunday night jammin. Some of the sounds remind me of sounds a monkey makes, hence the name."
Happy Halloween!!!
I hope it's a good one. The following is a short video I made with the SuONOIO.
YouTube via matrixsynth | October 31, 2010
"http://www.sonoio.org/
Single oscillator on the SuONOIO. No external processing. Sample-A set to rhythmic loop with no mods set. Delay A added followed by Crystal effect which gives the delay feedback an octave-up effect - it's the shimmer sound. Reverse mod and Distortion effects then added. The over saturation and distortion is on purpose. Unfortunately the bass wasn't fully captured, and it's a bit noisy. It sounds better/fuller in the studio. Anyway... Enjoy the rhythmic distorted subtleties. I love this thing.
Happy Halloween folks!

Roland CP-40 Pitch to midi converter

""The CP-40 converts audio signals from microphone or line-level input sources into MIDI signals in real time. Audio information, whether from someone singing or playing electric guitar, is instantaneously converted into MIDI signals. This conveniently allows you to gain control over other MIDI devices- without requiring a MIDI keyboard, or guitar controller. Volume and Pitch changes are also controllable.."

This is Roland's patch cord synthesizer, a collectable unit that sounds great with a similar sound to the sh-101 but with the endless flexibility to using a patch cord synth. The unit has one m-140 envelope/LFO module , three 110 oscillator/filter modules, and one 131 output mixer module."

Roland MPU 101
q(HdE)!~~_12.JPG)
via this auction"Roland MPU 101 Midi to CV converter that can control up to 4 monosynths at once. Has a polyphonic mode too for synth insanity! You can use the gate outs to trigger percussion type of sounds too... basically whatever receives a gate signal. And you can use the "dynamics" control voltages for things like filter cutoff as well. It's a really good machine for anyone with a monosynth or a modular synth. It's the type of thing that Aphex Twin would use but you can use it for any genre that uses analogue synths, techno, drum and bass, etc."
