Moog & Tron End Titles Cover


Published on Jun 3, 2013 synthway·9 videos

"This is a keyboard cover of Tron Legacy's original soundtrack by Daft Punk. Everything was played and recorded with the Moog Little Phatty Stage II.

The SYNTHWAY address is for my brazilian blog... only in portuguese. :)

The first part was a bit difficult to sync with the video, but I guess you can imagine that! I played the thing 2 times in a row while recording the MIDI file (with a little bit of quantize to keep the thing like an arpeggio).

The knob tweaking part is showing a nice feature of the Little Phatty, named Pot Map. I'm changing 3 parameters of the filter in realtime... the modulation knob (not seen) is for the EG Amount, oscillator knob for resonance and the filter knob for cutoff.

Third part, playing the melody while changing the OSC2 pitch, to get that nice OSC Sync effect. Nothing really special... added a very smooth delay in that lead, from EHX Deluxe Memory Boy.

Fourth part, playing the melody in a different way, while using the modulation wheel for controlling filter cutoff, getting that nice wah-wah sound. This part is using the internal LP arpeggio for playing the high-pitched pattern. A little touch of delay in both synth lines.

Didn't record it in video, but the deep bass and drum sounds were made with the LP. Everything was recorded thru Scarlett 2i2 in Logic Pro 9.

I hope you enjoy!"

Maestro Filter Sample/Hold

via this auction

"From an Oberheim brochure...just swap "Oberheim" for "Maestro" :)
The Oberheim Voltage Controlled Filter is an outgrowth of electronic music synthesizer technology. It consists of three basic synthesizer circuits: a voltage controlled filter, and envelope follower, and a sample/hold circuit. When the envelope follower is switched to drive the filter, an automatic "wah-wah" sound is produced. The depth of effect is controlled by a "Range" pot. When the sample/hold circuit is switched to drive the filter, the popular "random filter" sound is produced. The "Speed" pot controls the rate that random samples are produced. The unit is powered by two internal 9 volt batteries. Its dimensions are: 7" wide, 3" high, 6" deep. It weighs 2 1/2 lbs..."

Fully Restored ARP Quadra

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"These are rare synthesizers, and even more rare, are ones that work. The Quadra is loaded with sensitive logic circuits, CMOS parts, and tantalum capacitors that number in the hundreds. Replacing only the capacitors in the Quadra is not enough. Other Quadras on Ebay have not been rechipped, which means that all of the unreliable CMOS parts will fail one at a time over the coming years. This synth has been fully refurbished and no expense has been spared. We have spent countless hours restoring this synthesizer to like new condition. A custom 5 octave touch sensor was installed to give aftertouch capability over the entire range of the keyboard. We have also added mahogany sides to the case of the Quadra. It would be difficult to find a Quadra in better condition than this one.

This item weighs around 90 pounds when shipped in its case. It will ship via UPS 2nd Day Air. The dimensions of the box will be roughly 50"x30"x16".

All electrolytic capacitors replaced
All sliders cleaned and any bad ones replaced.
New custom mahogany end pieces.
All CMOS logic chips replaced and most linear IC's replaced. (Over 130 chips replaced )
New D/A converter
New RAM chip. Factory presets saved to memory.
Brand new custom NEA touch sensor that spans entire 5 octave keyboard.
All J-wires and bus bars polished, All key bushings replaced./li>
4075 filters modified (late 70's engineering revision to increase frequency response of filter.)"

Moon Modular 506 VC Modifier Experiments #1

Published on Jun 3, 2013 JohnLRice·207 videos

"Semi-random experiments with the new Moon Modular Voltage controlled Modifier module (a ladder VCF and VCA in one). it is a great sounding module and particularly convenient for putting together small but complete systems!

Thanks for watching!

Please Note: at certain sections, especially where the frequency is rolled off sharply there is some odd distortion/noise happening that was not in the original files or apparent while editing but showed up after the video was compiled! :-/ so, this isn't the module or even YouTube compression to blame this time, just something the Sony Vegas Movie Studio compiler didn't like."

arpeggio is made using moslab kobol vco (but did not do justice to it, as i made that one REALLY quickly)"

via this auction

"HERE THE DESCRIPTIONS FROM PETER FORREST BOOK "VINTAGE SYNTH'S A-Z": Elektronika EM-04 - 49-note (C-C) split multi-keyboard. This seems to have appeared in two very different forms. Both have sets of sliders to the left of the keyboard and in three sections behind it; but one is a neater, flatter machine with a carrying handle at the forot, while the other has fold-down legs, a little Farfisa-like, and a reverse-colour keyboard for the bottom two octaves. Divide-down tone generation; 'slalom' effect. Size: 790 x 490 x 155 mm. Weight: 18kg.

EM-04 HAS A FOUR MAIN SECTIONS OF CONTROL:

1-st GROUP (left manual) - attack, sustain, bass, violin, alto, string, orchestral, brass
BRASS FILTER - attack, sustain (level, on/off), cutoff, resonance
2-nd GROUP (right manual) - attack, sustain, bass, violin, alto, string, orchestral, brass
MASTER - fine tuning, main volume level, tone (brightness), slalom (pitch slide), gavai (finger pitch controller), string/organ select, brass 1-2." Panel translation below.

"Headphones highly recommended!
An afternoon improvvisation.
All started out from a G2 patch i created. This patch randomly generates notes in a specific key, at a random tempo. It has 3 osc which generates each one a different note.
MPC 500 was the main sequencer. The Pad sound is generated by Blofeld, bassline, by MS2000, lead by TETRA.

Syncing with a Monotribes Sync Output. But as the trigger in for the Mario Dub II is on the pitch resistor you can't change the pitch of the unit so I ran the audio through the Monotribe to play around and see what you can do with them both, to make up for not being able to pitch change the Mario Dub II.

SSL 1710 Experiments #1


Published on Jun 2, 2013

"Some initial exploration of this fine module from Ian Fritz and Doug Slocum.

From http://steamsynth.com/m_5-Pulser.aspx :

"The SSL "5-PULSER" is a cost-effective waveshaper that produces an output train of pulses whose number (and widths) may be continuously varied with an external control voltage."

"The Analog XOR module is a generalization of the very popular "digital ring modulator" (DRM) found in numerous analog synthesizers. In the traditional DRM, the input signals are "squared up" and then fed to a digital-logic XOR chip. So the output depends only on the signs of the input signals. The Analog XOR's output depends on the actual analog voltage amplitudes of the input signals, as described above."

For a MUCH better video that explains what this module can do, see Ian's excellent video here: http://youtu.be/riqagh0gX-Y [below]
