George Harrison - "Electronic Sound" - Composed on Moog Modular

George Harrison - Electronic Sound (Complete Album).wmv

You can find the release on Amazonand eBay.

"Here's the complete 'Electronic Sound' album by George Harrison. This album was among the first to be entirely recorded using a Moog Synthesizer which was still a relatively new instrument at the time (1969). George would later introduce the Moog to his fellow Beatle bandmates and they would wind up using it on their immortal 'Abbey Road' album (particularly on the tracks 'Here Comes The Sun', 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', 'Because' and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)').
When it comes to the early synth pioneers, one would not think of Beatle George as being one of them but this album proves otherwise. This was actually way ahead of its time when it was first released.

Vintage Buchla at University of Victoria, BC Canada

This one in via Grant


"This device, in the pics (Al from BB), cost UVic $100,000 to build or procure (not sure how it got there) but it’s in the UVic school of music control room."

Update: Grant wrote back to say the $100k was guess, and according to Rick in the comments it didn't cost that much. You do have to wonder how much this system would go for.

Update via sealion in the comments: "I borrowed this for a music be-in performance a few years ago which we did to mark the death of Bob Moog. It is one of three such units bought at Don Buchla's famous garage sale when he moved his production in San Francisco. UVIC music prof and Tibetan chanting aficionado Martin Bartlett drove down in his VW microbus and bought three units from Don, that one, one for SFU and I believe a missing third one. It is still in use today. Cost may have been about $6,000 (total guess) and I know a decade ago a standing offer of $20,000 from a dealer in LA was regularly turned down. A technician said due to age tuning was an issue for some. I bought the surplus cv/trig op-8 to dcb to a midi box setup that they used with it long ago.
At that time the department was doing a lot of Electronotes building, serge kits, biofeedback as cv and trigger experiments. Back then I attended a performance in the Department of David Rosenbloom's pathbreaking On Being Invisible performance which involved handmade circuit boards controlled by an IMSAI kit made thing called a computer, programmed using toggle switches for each line of code. It read output from body sensors that monitored his brainwaves, pulse and muscle's electrical activity. He sat Buddha yoga style and barely moved to control the performance. The last time I saw Martin before his death was at a stoplight. I looked over and saw him leaning back from his VW wheel jaw and mouth shaped to do that deep Tibetan bass note drone with overtones thing he left electronics for, at the light by Mayfair and Denny's."

Update via Rick: "i restored this system in 2010.. its fully functional now and sounds wonderful"

"ESTRADIN-230 is a Soviet Minimoog equivalent.
If you are familiar with Soviet synths you might know that ESTRADIN-230 has absolutely identical schematics (all 6 PCBs) with ALTAIR-231.

ESTRADIN-230 is powerful monophonic 3-OSC synthesizer produced by Elektroizmeritel, millitary radio plant in Zhitomir, USSR, 1984. Synth has 4-octave keyboard (F-C) with velocity (sensitivity assign to vibrato effect). For live performance there is a wheel which provides pitch shift. ESTRADIN 230 is based on 3-VCO (OSC-3 can work as the modulator), 1 VCF (lowpass 24dB/oct) with ADSR, 1 VCA, 3 LFO, noise generator (white/pink), glide, memory. It has an EXTERNAL INPUT allowing to use FILTER and GENERATORS with OTHER INSTRUMENTS such as guitars, synths, etc!

Mattson Mini Modular Sequencer - first patch

Published on Dec 14, 2012 by hewstigator

"Just a quick cellphone video of a patch I built shortly after receiving my shiny new mattson mini modular sequencer - a quirky and versatile beast whose capabilities i have barely even begun to uncover, but i figured i would post a brief snippet in celebration of its surviving the voyage from the west coast (where these mmm modules originate) to my location on the east coast.

everything is being generated real-time on my mattson modular's three oscillators and a noise generator (albeit all through relatively primitive, simple patches... i probably spent too much time wrestling with the sound sync on this video and too little time actually making an interesting patch hah!)

PS sorry about repeatedly cutting the sequencer off at the top of the frame!"

via the seller: "Sometimes customers can sell there boards thru The Synth Spa, like this one. But this one has something cool attached to it. A lighted bender and a 100.00 dollar coupon towards a custom color upgrade. The metal case has a bit of rust , but only a small amount, thus the reason for the custom color upgrade coupon. ( now the custom color will only cost you 150.00 with the coupon) .

This 106 received the total restoration package and it's serial number is recorded in the book of life! Where I guarantee its working ability and currently made parts for 10 years.

She a beast under the hood, I personally did the calibration and install of new electronics . The voice chips are guaranteed for life as well. The sliders have been taken apart , deoxidized , and resoldered back into the board. The power section was also rebuilt. Volume pot is smooth and clean, and the buttons are brand new tac switches. Keys have been cleaned. The internal memory now has the best of the best 106 sounds installed. Also there is a standard 3 prong power receptacle and cable that comes with this synth."

VCO2-RM
D-LFO
ADSR-VC2
DMF-2
VCA-2P

"The 2RM is equipped with seven waveforms, LFO mode, sync and waveform outputs are routed to a DC coupled ring modulator (RM). The oscillator's frequency is controlled by COARSE, TUNE knobs and FM inputs. TUNE finetunes the oscillators (± 6 semitones).
Frequency modulation (leveled FM1, FM2 and FM3 ) determinates the intensity of frequency modulation and/or pitch control. All FM inputs are carefully calibrated for 1Volt/octave sensitivity. Frequency modulation, by an audio signal, creates so called "side-bands" that consist of sum and difference of signals frequencies.
These additional frequencies do mostly have a non harmonic sound. Modulation, by low periodic waveforms, such as LFO or envelope generator creates momentary pitch shift of modulated oscillator common named vibrato (by LFO) or pitch bend (by envelope generator).
SYNC means that sync'ed oscillators frequency is tracked by the frequency of controlling oscillator;
OSC2's frequency is syncronized to OSC1's frequency. When the tuned frequency of sync-ed oscillator has the same or multiple of frequency of controlling oscillator then sync-ed oscillators waveform has no or very little "glitch" which results in a sync-ed smooth waveform (sinus waveform). The sync-ed waveforms (with additional FM modulation) are perfect for cutting edge lead sound and hard, funky basses.
PULSE WIDTH % adjusts the pulse width of the pulse wave from 5% to 95%.
WAVEFORM selects the waveform or a mix of waveforms from an oscillator. PULSE WIDTH control works also on the waveform mixes where the pulse wave is included.
Ring modulator (RM) is a classic audio effect device and due to the non harmonic character of the output signal, very useful to create metallic timbres such as bells, sweeping whistles and percussive sounds and tremolo effects (modulated by low periodic signal like a LFO). Two input signals are pre-patched to OSC1 and OSC2 outputs. Using the inputs X and Y, any other external signal can be routed directly into the ring modulator. As modulation source the ring modulator can produce a huge amount of complex waveforms both in the low and audio frequency range."

"The D-LFO consists of two identical low frequency oscillators. The LFO2 can be internally sync-ed to LFO1 by an internal switch. The TRIP POINT control the voltage point at which the waveform is sync-ed; continuously from lowest to highest point of the waveform. Additionally the external signal can be used as sync source in two modes; the SYNC T converts the external signal to a very narrow pulse for a distinct sync and the SYNC G extract pulse width of the external signal for sync with a "steady state" sync-ed waveform. The RM/AM is a ring modulator / amplitude modulator. It is coupled to both LFO's outputs and has a separate output "RM-AM" and input for external signal (pre-patched to the LFO2's output)."
