Synth and hearts a collection of synth Art by Rupert P


via Adventures Beyond

click here for the full gallery.

Note the pieces are sewn together.

"After many years of being inspired by the idea of creating collages loosely based on the pop art idea of celebrating all the things you love, I found a way to do it without using glue! I started sewing them together. The collages are A5 in size and made with love."

Audulus vs Eurorack modular

Published on Dec 7, 2013 cephal0p0d·75 videos

"I added another output to the Quadrille patch fed by the value port on an existing EG, routed that directly to output 9 which is the SPDIF that feeds the ES4. I don't know if its v/oct accurate, but I'm getting useable envelopes out of it, and that's a damn good start."

Euro rack vs Audulus via ES4
Published on Dec 7, 2013

"Feeding straight audio out from Audulus via outputs 9+10 SPDIF to ES4, thence to 1v oct in @ DPO.

So it's possible, if we get voltage ranges right."

"This powerful multitimbral Synth is one of the best for intuitive dance or electronic music making process. As a company first instrument it had to be good (a hand-made by Quasimidi founders, much like Sequential instruments). It has excellent arpeggiator (with recordable MIDI output), two versatile effect processors and first of all its famous gringy and sparkling sound full of dymanics. Gorgeous techno-rave-electro machine, great also for any of modern industrial or gothic styles. Its also expandable with original Quasimidi boards such as T.R.E. (it can hold two expantion boards). Also features 2 MIDI inputs and 6 Audio outputs..."

Poly-Neptune Vol 1: Free Spectral Audio Neptune II Ableton Instrument


Poly-Neptune Vol 1: Free Ableton Instruments (Chords Demo)

"I was curious what chords might sound like on a polyphonic Spectral Audio Neptune II, so I multi-sampled mine and created 5 Ableton instruments using Sampler.

You can download the Ableton live set with the free instruments at: www.audiobombs.com/items/285/poly-neptune-vol-1"

http://www.spectralaudio.ch/neptuneII.htm

"With the Neptune Mk2, Spectral Audio is again tickling out the best of the Analog Technique - three temperature stabilized Voltage Controlled Oscillators, the 24dB transistor cascade filter, the huge LFO range, its modulation flexibility, the envelopes and the transistor distorter section are speaking for itself."

Drone Noise Synth 4093 CMOS

Published on Dec 6, 2013 trukxelf·5 videos

"This is a hand-built noise synth; its a square wave generator that sort of cross modulates and tweaks the square wave-forms it produces form 4 oscillators. The circuit is based on a 4093 CMOS NAND IC,designed and produced by GET-LOFI. I put it together, and made the enclosure, which is constructed from wood, with steel face and rear plates. It runs on a 9V power adapter."

DRONE SYNTH NOISE GETLOFI Quad Oscillator
Published on Dec 7, 2013

"DRONE synth, noisy square wave generator. The circuit is a GETLOFI Quad Oscillator; another 4093 CMOS IC. I've added a fairly ineffective lowpass filter, it sounds a little more pronounced live. I fabricated the steel enclosure, and the solid walnut ends. Runs on a 9V adapter, and has a 1/4" audio output jack."

Yamaha DX-1 Vintage FM Synthesizer

via this auction

"Among Yamaha's DX line of synthesizers, the DX1 is definitely the biggest. With a dual 6-operator digital FM engine, it's like two DX7's wrapped up in a wood-paneled case and comes with a truly professional weighted 73 note keyboard sensitive to both velocity and aftertouch. The DX7 style membrane buttons have been replaced by actual push-buttons, display screens and the overall layout of buttons and diagrams is nicer and better organized. Sound-wise, the DX1 is like a fatter DX7. It too features FM synthesis. That means that although the DX1 is a digital synthesizer, its sounds are unique and fresh with an analog/digital hybrid feel. Programming however, is not at all like analog synth programming. All DX series synths use FM synthesis. Fortunately the advanced DX1 has display screens that show amplitude modulation, envelopes, velocity, levels and de-tuning parameters unlike previous DX synths so you can better visualize what and how you are editing parameters. A neat new feature for the DX1 is that two patches (Channel A and B) can be used simultaneously with the keyboard in layer or split-mode. This mode is generally 16-voice polyphonic, but with just one patch loaded you can have 32 voices of thick polyphony! Pretty good for a synth over 15 years old!"

Present & Past: David Gilmore & Roger Waters on The EMS Synthi AKS

David Gilmour - Dark Side of the Moon on the run Synthi A

ROGER WATERS & the SYNTHI AKS
via AnalogSuicide.
"1972 - Le légendaire EMS Synthi A K(eyboard) S(equencer) en action dans les non moins légendaires studios EMI d’Abbey Road (Londres), dans les mains du vénérable Roger Waters.

Ce dernier semble conquis par ce bijou technologique à l’allure de jouet, présenté dans une petite valise en plastoc, avec son clavier à surface tactile bleu et noir, ses boutons rotatifs en bakélite, ses switches aux couleurs vives, et sa matrice d’interconnections façon « touché-coulé ». Malgré son apparence inoffensive il s’avère assez redoutable à programmer et surtout génère des sons à vous retourner les entrailles. De plaisir.

Dans ce court extrait tiré du somptueux Live at Pompeii (version Director’s Cut) Roger et David (Gilmour) évoquent les technologies, l’évolution de la musique et les possibilités offertes par l’électronique. Ils conviennent que pour faire vivre ces engins il est nécessaire d’avoir la soul, la vibe, l’univers cérébral adapté qui seuls peuvent dompter la machine. Et non l'inverse.

L’extrait se termine sur un rush du très électronique « On The Run » figurant sur l’album Dark Side Of The Moon.

Pour plus d’infos sur le Synthi A (hors de prix !) :

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Music_Studio
http://www.emsrehberg.de/SYNTHI__s/synthi__s.html (instrument VST, pour les fauchés)"

In Googlish:
"1972 - The legendary EMS Synthi AK (eyboard) S (equencer) in action in the equally legendary EMI studios at Abbey Road (London), in the hands of the venerable Roger Waters.

The latter seems captivated by this technological jewel at the pace of games, presented in a small suitcase in plastoc, with its keyboard surface touch blue and black, rotary bakelite buttons, switches its vivid color and its matrix of interconnections a "hit-cast." Despite his seemingly harmless it is quite daunting to program and especially generates sounds to you return the entrails. From pleasure.

In this short excerpt taken from the sumptuous Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut) Roger and David (Gilmour), evoke technologies, the development of music and opportunities offered by electronics. They agree that to sustain these devices must have the soul, the vibe, the universe adapted brain which alone can tame the machine. And not vice versa.

The excerpt ends with a rush of the very electronic "On The Run 'appearing on the album Dark Side Of The Moon.
