Alzabo-Live Acid in a Banana Suit at Lansdale Music Factory [art ghoulery]

Published on Nov 2, 2013 Alzabo·1 video

"This was my first effort in getting together a live electronica set for a small local Halloween Art Show. Its not perfect but you can see where it is coming from. Most basslines and leads were played live on hardware. Drums were sequenced in Maschine and muted live.

Sorry for iPhone audio, the base is lacking. [SoundCloud below]

Gear List:
Maschine Ableton Plug-In for Drums and vocal samples [mostly from old commercials and movies]
Future Retro 777 for first two songs basslines
x0xi0 for the later songs baselines
Kaossilator Pro for leads and Arpeggios
Vermona VSR-3 for spring reverb
Mackie PRO fx8 for mixer"

Korg PolySix

Published on Jan 5, 2014 VintageSynthPads·26 videos

"2 New sound banks for Korgs PolySix software based synthesizer.
These outstanding presets were designed with the true nature of this classic synth in mind.
So many new synthesizer developers are trying to achieve what companies like Roland, Korg, Moog and others accomplished in the 70s and 80s.
Korg was smart enough to port the great PolySix hardware synth to software.
'Cold Fusion' is 2 complete new sound backs for PolySix designed by VintageSynthPads.com.
These presets bring out the wonderful analog and classic quality's of the PolySix synthesizer.
In this collection, an array of presets including:
Pads
Bass
Leads
Keys
Apegs
FX

are included.
Both sound banks are including as part of 'Cold Fusion.'"

Modular Bacon 03: Blizzard

Published on Jan 5, 2014 Autotross·8 videos

"Recorded live during today's blizzard, burrrrr!

Patch Notes:
Wind from Doepfer A-118 Noise generator fed through Intellijel uVCF with cutoff modulated by the 118's random volt output. Truck idling and driving away created with MakeNoise DPO's final output jostled about by Function on repeat. Sirens made the same way using the saw output and slower Function modulation.

Stay warm!"

ERIC CLAPTON'S "STEPPIN' OUT" ON HAKEN CONTINUUM! Rob Schwimmer plays

Published on Jan 5, 2014 Robert Schwimmer·53 videos

"PLAY IT LOUD! PUT IT ON FULL SCREEN! If you like it SHARE it!

This is a replica of Eric Clapton's slashing, aggressive and thrilling guitar classic recorded March 1966 from John Mayall's "The Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton" here played on the amazing HAKEN CONTINUUM FINGERBOARD! The nature of bending notes on the Continuum make it a perfect fit for blues phrasing---This is as much fun to do as it looks! A most sexy instrument... So many different and amazing things you can do with it! Here I used Edmund Eagan's Larynx Horn sound to start with which gives it the "vocal formant envelope" which I like a lot... Incredible responsiveness... although maybe not your typical blues sound... I did the backing track (bass, saxes, drums) on Kontakt and Battery and some processing for the Continuum with Guitar Rig from Native Instruments. The original LP was after Clapton was with The Yardbirds and before Cream--One of my favorite blues guitar albums of all time. I learned to play this track on guitar when I was in junior high school so it's been a part of me for a long time...

AKAI SynthStation & SynthStation25 demo

Published on Jan 5, 2014 SynthMania·303 videos

"A very cool and inexpensive ($1.99 USD) app that reproduces classic synth sounds. I like the X/Y pad which allows real time modulation control (04:22) and overall it has nice, big virtual analog sonorities. It also has quality effects, sequencer, drums and other features. Use the hardware SynthStation25 and you have a full-fledged recording studio on the go."

Roland JP8000 custom sounds

Published on Jan 5, 2014 JackOasys·43 videos

"5 gennaio 2014 - Breve demo, realizzata come sempre "al volo" dei suoni programmati su Roland JP8000. Niente arpeggiatori, sequenze o suoni house/techno che si trovano ormai in abbondanza su qualsiasi synth economico di ultima generazione.
Come al solito, tutti i suoni sono equalizzati per il live (quindi nella demo alcuni possono risultare "chiusi", ma testati su impianti live posso garantire che escono in tutta la loro potenza senza creare picchi e overboost).
64 Performance da caricare attraverso un sysex file via Midi
(necessita MidiOx o altro software su Pc/Mac)

Moog Liberation Synth Synthesizer w/ Custom Box and Case

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

via this auction

"You're looking at a special item right here. This is an original 1979 Moog Liberation synthesizer. This thing sounds amazing. HUGE Moog monosynth bass and leads, and wild SFX potential.

This synth was known as Moog's keytar synth. However, this one no longer has the keytar attachment. Instead, this synth was built into a wooden box with the synth on top, the keytar's expression control panel in front of the synth, and an amp built into the box. This box rolls with wheels installed on the bottom, and it has a latching top that can be hooked on, making it the ideal old school Moog for the traveling musician. (I will add a photo of this soon. The top completely covers everything.) There are amp controls on the front panel. This is much more of a traditional keyboard player's instrument.

This synth has a few issues, as to be expected of anything of this age. I was told when I bought it that oscillator 2 doesn't work properly. It seems to make sound appropriately when it is solo'd, and as you know about this synth if you're reading this, its interesting feature was that the two oscillators mixed to make a unique waveshape. I don't know if they mix properly or not, I am not an expert about these instruments. Some of the sliders stick in their top and bottom positions and can be hard to move. The envelope generation seems to be a bit slow. I have had trouble generating envelopes with fast attack, that could either be related to the switches, some settings I have wrong, or something else. The LFO is also a bit wonky..."

Jeff Baxter ROLAND GR-300 POLYPHONIC GUITAR SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"Techno Empire recently had the privilege of cracking open Jeff's storage locker full of gear that has been pretty much unopened for the last 30+ years. Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan Road cases full of gear!

From joness.com:

At the end of the 1970s, Roland Corporation introduced the world to the GR-300 analog guitar synthesizer. While there have been numerous advancements in music technology since then, the GR-300 remains the pinnacle of analog guitar synthesis. Although the sound palette of the GR-300 is very limited, the GR-300 has the fastest, most accurate tracking ever developed. Unlike much of guitar-to-MIDI pitch recognition technology, the GR-300 guitar synthesizer does not require the player to adapt technique to get astonishing results."

via Wikipedia: "Jeffrey Allen "Jeff Skunk" Baxter (born December 13, 1948) is an American guitarist, known for his stints in the rock bands Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers during the 1970s.

"Equinoxe III" - on Elka organs

Published on Jan 5, 2014 organfairy·404 videos

"The Preludio 22L shares some of it's technoloy with the more famous X-705. And since Jean Michel Jarre used the X-705 for some time in the late 1970's I thought it could be fun to play one of his compositions while I had this old thing fired up. The only part of Equinoxe III that I couldn't play on the Preludio was the string parts because it doesn't have a phase modulator. For the string parts I therefore used the EP-8 instead."

Ultra rare HILLWOOD SY-1800 analog synthesizer 1977- by Darth NoiseLab

Published on Jan 5, 2014 NoiselabCH·5 videos

"No effects or anything, just pure analog sound (however as usual recorded with an IPhone only) ! 1ST VID EVER ABOUT THE HILLWOOD SY-1800 on YOUTUBE !

Hillwood SY-1800 built from 1977-79, is a curious preset Synthesizer made in Japan similar to the Roland SH-2000, ARP soloist and ELKA Soloist. Manufacturer Hillwood had a full range offer typical at the time:

- Combo Organs and keyboards
- Synthesizer like the SY-1800 and more known Hillwood Comet
- Electric pianos
- Guitar amp
- two drum machines
- rotary speaker simulator
- and even a spinett-organ
(found in a catalog fromm 1977)

I never had or know a synthesizer with practically no information on the net like the SY-1800. Presets are mostly worthless like all preset Synths of the time. However these synthesizer have some modulations to explore and the SY-1800 has some PWM, CHORUS, possibly BP-Filter sounds worth to take a closer look. Even with a weak filter I think the HILLWOOD SY-1800 is an inspiring little toy.

Any information about HILLWOOD is apreciated...

Be the analog synthforce with you...

"Without a midi splitter I ended up using the MicroKORG as a way to sync the MicroBRUTE to the Korg Volca Beats. Messing around, twisting those knobs so you can hear it do it's thing. I need to order a splitter to use it with everything for a more proper jam. That should be soon-ish I hope. Enjoy the sounds!"

"Make Noise Phonogene butchering a late night jazz radio station playing classics.

This is three tracks of the same patch with the modular synthesizer processing the AM radio.

The patch used the EOS output back into the record input of the Phonogene to resample. I used a Yusynth Random Gates module to randomly mix in new program sounds from the radio into the Phonogene. The coincidental timing of the record and mix SOS created continually changing loops.

The most fun I've had with a module in a long time."

Note: I created a new 5U label starting with this post. I should have done this a while ago but didn't as there were only a handful of 5U manufacturers compared to euro, and typically you knew what was in the system you were watching so you could check out the corresponding manufacturer channel.

Still gotta get the S&H and the EMS filter to work, but it's souding surprisingly nice for not having been callibrated or tuned yet.. Highlight to the Serge/CGS Dual Universal Slew Generator, it kicks major butt"
