"CONTROL. Brooklyn’s new modular synthesizer boutique and record store.

Driphouse’s Daren Ho and Jonas Asher have just opened New York’s premier synthesizer boutique. If you’re on the east coast you no longer have to wait for modules to arrive from California, just visit CONTROL in Williamsburg.

You can test drive modules there. They have two 9U portable cases in their two listening stations. Modules such as Make Noise, 4MS, Synthesis Technology, Pittsburgh Modular, Malekko/Wiard, Blue Lantern, and more.

In addition to synthesizers they also have a nice selection of Synth-centric LPs and cassettes. Including new releases by Editions Mego, Bureau B, Spectrum Spools and many other forward leaning independent electronic labels.

Control will definitely be a destination whenever I’m in NY.

416 Lorimer St. Brooklyn, New York. 11206."

The Chromatropolis

via For Musicians Only where you'll find additional pics and full details.

"This magnificently monstrous assemblage of analog synth gear is comprised of the Rhodes Chroma, Chroma Expander, and a brand new Chroma Enabler. I have christened the three units collectively as the Chromatropolis. I thought it deserved a much grander name than "Chroma stuff" or "Chroma, etc." I also thought it would be easier to use a single name as way of referring to the three units, rather than having to say "Chroma, Expander, and Enabler" over and over again. As far as I know, I am currently the only one who has all three units."

Modular Moogerfooger Madness

YouTube Published on Jun 20, 2012 by NonDigitalTom

"Having some fun with a whole rack of Moogers. All sounds in this clip are generated and modulated by Moogerfoogers. Not all of them are hooked up for this patch, but the ones that are include the MF-107 FreqBox, MF-101 Low-Pass Filter, MF-102 Ring Modulator, MF-103 12-Stage Phaser, MF-105 MuRF, MF-104SD Super Analog Delay, and CP-251 Control Processor (plus EP-2 Expression Pedal).

There were some very freaky vocal sounds happening here, which made me say "I HAVE to record this." You can hear this sound like, "yiee yiee YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE." Really weird (and kind of spooky when you're in a room alone with this stuff. Don't ask me how it was patched, I probably wouldn't be able to get the same sound again if I tried."

MacBeth Touch Interface & micromac

via Ken MacBeth on Facebook

"Todays' update: I'm working on the mechanical diagrams for both versions of the micromac. And whilst thinking about the desktop version- I was out and purchased this- its a laptop stand that seems ideal for a desktop synth!

I'm also enjoying the idea of the micromac desktop being used both upright and lying flat down. Looks tlike thats how the design will go. with an accessory like this- you can have the slight angled look/feel if required!"

Make Noise Echophon + Phonogene

Make Noise Echophon + Phonogene from Pete Shambler on Vimeo.

Using the delay and pitch shifting halves of the Make Noise Echophon in a sort of Karplus-Strong arrangement (where echo time controls timbre, pitch-shift controls frequency). The dry input (heard at the beginning and end of the clip) is white noise, through a VCA, opened by a fast Maths envelope. The Echophon is adding everything else, with a Phonogene garble-sampling the result.

The Loud Objects (NYC) live at KOMA Elektronik Nerd Out

YouTube Published on Jun 20, 2012 by KOMAelektronik

"On June 7th, Berlin based effect manufacturer KOMA Elektronik hosted their first event in Berlin: the KOMA Nerd Out at their favorite hang-out O Tannenbaum in Neukoelln. Playing that night were DJWJ, Canadian Analog Video Synth magician Stan Stancil and NYC collective The Loud Object, who soldered a circuit on a overhead projector...

THE LOUD OBJECTS (USA)

The Loud Objects create electronic noise with minimal components: microchips, a power jack, an audio jack, and wire. The group solders custom audio circuits live, creating audible fluctuations of electricity with these bare elements. Gradually building a complex sound circuit, they present electronic music in a form closer to a physical instrument than a laptop. Their performances invite the audience to bear conscious witness to each musical gesture: the addition of a microchip; the soldering of an output pin to the audio jack.
