Moog Minimoog Model D Vintage Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"A model with this serial # would normally contain the newest revision of oscillator board but this unit has an older oscillator board (less stable but sounds much nicer). It has a Big Briar MIDI kit and besides the new custom wood case, it has all new bushings, a recapped power supply and is working flawlessly. This is one of the best MINI's that I've ever had and it's hard to let it go..."

RISCy

"RISCy is a drag and drop synthesizer puzzle full of sonic perturbation. You live code via the limited instruction set in the lower part of the interface; drag out tokens to the top area to build your synth graph, drag a token back off the top area to remove it. Each token has an aural consequence, and some special tokens also change the nature of the hidden graph connecting active tokens; puzzling out these relationships is part of the fun. You'll be able to make lots of noisy sounds as well as generative sequenced patterns. Press ! to clear the graph and reset; press ? to get a random starting point. Download RISCy if you are open to stranger computer music sounds, and avoid it if you just want diatonic melodies and piano sounds!"

RISCy is free.

Matlab Synthesizer - Beethoven: "Waldstein" Sonata

YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Mar 3, 2011

"Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major, Op. 53. I. Allegro con brio

This sonata is considered to be one of Beethoven's greatest and most recognized, and one of the three particularly notable ones of his middle period. Beethoven completed this sonata, one of his most technically challenging works, in the summer of 1804. During this time, Beethoven had begun to develop hearing problems that would lead to his deafness in later life. The "Waldstein" name comes from the sonata's dedication, to Count Ferdinand Ernst Gabriel von Waldstein of Vienna, a close personal friend of Beethoven's.

This synthesized rendition was generated by our Matlab synthesizer. For this piece, we programmed a very velocity-sensitive sound whose harmonics change with changing dynamic levels. Volume levels alone are not enough to convey the vast scope and grandiosity of this work. The colors in the scrolling visualization correspond to dynamic levels as well, with red being the loudest notes in the piece."

"Light controlled photo theremin and geometrics in a one of a kind super toy. Number 6 in the GEO series.

The audio knob has a smooth volume curve for swells and changes the timbre as you dial up. The push button can be played as a momentary switch for short bleeping sounds and then latched in for continuous play.

Multi LED flashes brilliant rainbow colors in a hypnotic pattern from inside a clear triangle prizm that's removable - just slide in place. Light and sound can influence each other in several ways. They can be switched on independantly and when used together an eerie ringmod- like coloration is heard. Projects on walls and ceilings in low light adding room ambience."

XILS-lab PolyKB II Player

"The PolyKB II Player is much more than a simple player. It's also a fully featured real synth.

It gives you the liberty to fully customize 8 parameters you can select in a big list: Adsr values, Filter Cut Off and resonance, etc -See the complete list of parameters below -

But there's more : These parameters can also receive full automation via midi Cc. Its rather rare to have to automate more than 8 controls in real time for a preset, in addition of all the real times controls already contained in the preset and made available by our Sound Designers ( Ie the original Mod Wheel, After Touch, Velocity, LFO and envelope modulation assignations )

The PolyKB II PLayer also comes with the same acclaimed 250 hi quality preset library than its big brother.

Its also fully compatible with our Analog Bags 1 & 2 Add On soundbanks, as well as with some 3rd party soundsets, so you can extend the original library at a very affordable price. All your custom patches are also saved via your host, and projects using custom patches are saved with all your edits.

The PolyKB II Player is protected with a serial number, no USB dongle required !"

Vox Jennings Univox and Hammond Solovox tech and sound check!

YouTube Uploaded by sounddoctorin on Mar 4, 2011

"Bob Weigel of http://www.sounddoctorin.com leads us on tour inside and out of the original monophonic organ/synths. (With very simple synth features like footage selections and slow attack envelope on the Hammond) Actually the Hammond Solovox (produced from 1940 to 1950 nearly I hear) is a scaled down mono version of the 170 tube 500 some pound Hammond Novacord (Made in 1938!) Novacord was a full polyphonic divide down synthesizer like many transistor ones create in the 70's (Arp Omni etc.) Probably the most ahead of it's time musical instrument ever created.

The Solovox's tone cabinet contains the divider tubes and mixer tubes as well as a huge relay can that operates each time a key is hit. There are three relays that route signals for each of the three 'buss segments'. I said 'three buss' keyboard in the video but it's not three parallel buses but rather three single buss segments. 1 per octave. The footages are prearranged by those switches to be apportioned appropriately to the three buses.

THen after the relays properly route things from the high low and mid mixes, we go to the filters that are selected by the buttons beneath the keys. The capacitor ladder and mechanical vibrato are also housed therein with the knee volume lever that uses a set of resistances to gradually increment the volume.

We'd love to find more information on the Jennings unit if anyone has it! A schematic would be awesome!

The Univox has simplified things to get a great tube sound into a much smaller box by 1954. The keys are also much more playable! The short keys on the Solovox take some getting used to. Definitely some useful sounds!"
