Cruamar General Development System

"Without keyboard and computer monitor. Device from 1980th Was one of the flagships of the synthesizer time. Keyboard in the living room kept Zusatand few times used. Very nice keyboard, not scratched."
This one spotted by swissdoc
"it is the first GDS Keyboard I have seen "in the wild", but without the rest of the system most likely just nice looking, but no sound."
Update via jbfairlight in the comments: "Please note that only the keyboard!
The GDS is especially the synthesis box ;)
the synths box is the rack visible bottom the terminal of the next picture.

OP-1 Tutorial: Making a Remix - Part One
YouTube Uploaded by djthomaswhite on Jan 27, 2012
"In this video I present an overview of how to import external samples into the OP-1 through the computer interface and Drum Kit creation app. Those samples are also shown to be manipulated and a rough arrangement is created with notes about using the OP-1 for remixing songs. Examples of the following are shown:
- Importing Samples
- Connecting the OP-1 to a computer
- Managing drum kits
- Editing drum kit sounds
- Creating Pattern and Endless mode Sequences
- Sequencing to tape "on time"
- Setting tape loop points
- Tape Navigation
- Using OP-1 Effects
- Assigning LFO to control Effects
- Lift and Drop techniques
and more...
I hope you enjoy another video in my tutorial series. Remember, these videos are only examples of how I am using the OP-1. They are intended to be helpful to those new to the machine, considering buying the machine, and to the user community as a possibly different method of production using this wide-ranging machine. If you'd like to see a specific OP-1 video or topic answered here, please send me a message and I'll do my best to help you out.
Thanks for watching another one of my videos.

NAMM 2012 Video - Gur of Tiptop Audio & the PVCO & 808 Drum Modules
YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on Jan 26, 2012
Eight voice poly VCO eurorack module with detunable oscillators. Listen closely. There will be additional poly modules coming for filter, VCA, poly MIDI to CV, etc. This will be a eurorack polyphonic system. The VCOs are based on the Z3000 but with some extra features according to Gur. This was probably the highlight for me at NAMM this year. I was telling Gur how most people that haven't jumped on the modular band wagon yet are mainly reluctant due to the cost of entry. It can be difficult to put the money into a case and base monophonic system when that money can go towards other gear, including poly synths just as flexible. This module along with the others will be a way to justify the cost of entry for many. Instead of buying a polyphonic mainstream synth you can buy this and expand from there. The money you spend here will get you a polyphonic modular synth without the hassle of having to patch up individual systems. This is groundbreaking. It sounded amazing.

NAMM 2012 Video of Mike Martin & the Casio XW-P1 Including Deeper Editing
Don't miss the second video below. The first is the general overview and the second is deeper editing of the synth engine parameters. This is a full blown editable synth. The full list of parameters are not yet available but you will see some of them in the second video. What's impressive is it's essentially a six oscillator synth that you can layer with built in arpeggiator, step sequencer and effects. The interface is pretty nice. You use the sliders to set oscillator levels, step parameters and more. It also supports MIDI CC and sysex. The plan on creating a PC editor, but no plans for an iPad editor at this point. Of course ou should be able to create your own. Mike mentions CZ waveforms in the first video. I believe these are PCM samples of the waveforms as the XW-P1 does not support Phase Distortion synthesis. What's interesting is you'll see a section of the synth engines is under a PCM label while the Synth, Hex and and Drawbar Organ are not. I'm guessing it's meant to point out the type of sounds you expect vs. the engine itself. It's my understanding it's all PCM. It does sound good, extremely good for the price actually. The GW-P1 exchanges the Hex layer for a sampling engine. You can sample your own sounds.
One thing that throws me off after watching these again is at 2:34 in the first video you will see him adjust the filter cutoff while holding down a chord and he mentions it, however at 3:51 in the second video he mentions the filter does not work in real time for hex sounds. Not sure what the difference is. I might have missed it as I'm post editing mode. If you know feel fee to comment. Both of these videos are worth watching in full. Update: turns out real time filter control via the filter knob only works in solo mode. See this post.

Oli Larkin's pMix Released
pMix demo
YouTube Uploaded by olilarkin on Jan 26, 2012
"Oli Larkin has released pMix - which is a sound design and performance tool for Mac OS X that allows you to morph between VST plug-in presets using an intuitive graphical interface.
Presets are represented by coloured balls that are positioned on a 2D plane. The size of each ball and its proximity to the cursor affects the weight of the associated preset in the interpolation.
Morphing between presets often results in the discovery of interesting hybrid sounds. By constraining sound manipulations within a predesigned "interpolation space" complex transitions can be achieved that would otherwise be hard to manage.
pMix can load four VST2 audio plug-ins. It comes with a suite of specially designed plug-ins which cover a range of experimental DSP techniques (noise generators, FM synthesis, formant filtering, frequency shifting etc). These plug-ins can also be used in other VST host applications.
Features:
• Realtime VST2 plug-in chainer.
• Live processing of audio input, file playback or instrument plug-ins.
• Unique multi-layered preset interpolation.
• Rich visual control interface with real-time feedback.
• Includes a suite of high-quality audio FX and generators.
• Many options for randomisation.
• Break-point function and "freehand" automation modes.
• Audio file player & recorder built in.
• Controllable via OSC and MIDI.
• Can be used with other applications via Rewire or Soundflower or Jack.
