KORG MS-20 Mini with Wood Sides


via Drunken Woodworker

"Earlier this year Korg released a remake of their 1978 monophonic synthesizer keyboard using the exact same circuitry as the original. I was quite excited about this rerelease and ordered mine months before it's release day. 2 days after it arrived at my door I threw away the plastic panels and created my own walnut sides. The original 1978 model also had plastic side panels but I thought I'd class mine up..."

Update: Making of video posted here.

After fitting an updated Q133 Debug card, connecting the original monitor and alphanumeric keyboard, we gingerly introduced power back into her old bones and she breathed once more! She's yet to find her voice, but that's the next step :-)

Live Acid Session with TR-707, Alesis HR-16, Alpha Juno, x0xb0x

Published on Feb 4, 2013 gilanddelivery·3 videos

"Welcome to our new channel. We're going to feature all sorts of content on here, but the main theme is based around one take, raw format music "jam sessions" (ugh...) and basically whatever else we feel like uploading. Any sort of errors or fuckups or whatever will generally just be left it and be a part of the video. We want this to be a look into what sorta shit we do in the studio, as opposed to us performing for the camera. For this video we used a TR-707, Alesis HR16, Alpha Juno, x0xb0x, midiverb, and mpc 2000 for sequencing the Juno.

next! SPACEBASS 3.3 With Mods


via Circuitbenders.co.uk
Click through for demos. Details on the mods captured for the archives:

"This is the 'next! SPACEBASS 3.3' version (the exclaimation mark remains a mystery), which is exceptionally rare. As far as we know, this version was only ever available very briefly in the US and this is the only one we have ever seen in Europe. Most versions found in the US appear to be imported Freebass' or MB33's, so we'd suspect that very few of these models were ever produced.

Our mods add 5 switches, 2 knobs and a jack input round the back to allow a whole extra smorgasbord of sonic mayhem. A veritable 3 course breakfast of orgasmic analogue delight! Something along those lines anyway :) .

A Stupid Song for the Casio VL-5


Published on Aug 12, 2013 stexe·79 videos

"Da-Da-Dumb. A stupid song for a stupid instrument, the Casio VL-5.

It has a great rhythm section, and four-note polyphony. But there's a selection of only ten toylike patches. Selecting the patches and rhythm patterns is a convoluted process involving pushbuttons and a two-way toggle switch. There are no indicator lights, just a faint LCD display no larger than a watch face, so it's easily left on, expending the batteries. The chiclet keyboard is nearly unplayable. And despite its tiny size, I weighed it in at six pounds, seven ounces. That's with batteries, but without the pen.

Yes, the optical Scanner Pen, technological wonder of the 80's, destined to change musical creativity forever after. The keyboard includes a "songbook" (pictured), with a handful of tunes you can load into the VL's sequencer by scanning about 20 lines of code (ten each for pitch and note interval). I still can't get it to import an entire song successfully, and why should I bother? Technically it's RAM, but it's no more than a few unmodifiable, auto playing sequences. For this reason above all others, I declare the Casio VL-5 to be the Mostest Stupidest Keyboard that Ever Smelled.

Trio did Use a Casio VL rhythm in "Da Da Da", but it was the VL-1. Same sound, slightly different pattern."

Tone2 FireBird 2 Now Available for Free



This one in via FSK1138. Via Tone2:

"After seven years of faithful service, the time has come to set the bird free. Firebird itself has become vintage and even though it's no longer profitable to remain a commercial product, we feel that more people should deserve an opportunity to enjoy this sometimes heavily underestimated synthesizer.
Which is why we decided to release one last update and turn the product into freeware (previuosly $79). We want to say a big THANK YOU to all customers who supported the development of Firebird and other Tone2 products, by purchasing our software.

Unique & innovative

Firebird is not just another subtractive synthesizer, it uses a unique synthesis architecture to deliver next-generation sounds. Its innovative user interface provides you with the tools to create impressive sounds with a minimal amount of effort. Featuring an impressive selection of 437 build-in sounds, representing both highly sought-after VA sounds, as well as sounds more specific to Firebird and characterized by its Harmonic Content Morphing synthesis, breathing both life and dynamics into the sounds.

Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM) synthesis

Harmonic Content Morphing synthesis is based on a large, expandable repertoire of standard waves, like saw, pulse, as well as more complex wave material, like multi-waves, trumpets, organs, pads, pianos and voice samples.
These waves are modified in real-time, by for example transposing the wave by one or two octaves and adding it to the original wave, altering its harmonic structure, syncing, compressing or even expanding the frequency domain of the spectrum. Making the wave for example sound more fat using only one oscillator, transforming each wave into a hyper-wave or selecting some cycles of a sample and moving through them over time (comparable to wavetable synthesis).
Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds (remember: using only one oscillator!) With a total of more than 18,000 different spectra available for combination and modulation, Firebird+ gives an almost unlimited amount of timbres to experiment with.
