Published on May 22, 2014 noisythang·33 videos

"Sometimes a device can inspire a piece. A quick tune using the Synthrotek OR Combinor to combine many, many things. Lot's o'fun. The OR Combiner is eight four-input OR circuits. It's passive. So, what can one do with 8 gates?"

Arp 2600 Analog Synthesizer - with 3620 Duophonic Keyboard

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

via this auction

"Fantastic and nearly perfect ARP 2600... perfectly playable, has NOT been upgraded or modded. Calibrated and adjusted by Ed Miller, LA - Area synth tech on 5/22/14. Newly tightened and cleaned keyboard connector, unit is completely STOCK and near perfect condition.

It is a 2601 model, so one of the last made, therefore in much better condition than earlier models - All sliders and controls function smoothly, no corrosion on any component, including the interior electronics. Purchased from a professional recording studio, not a "touring" machine. Silk-screening is pristine, The machine looks brand-new. Less than usual wear on Tolex, for a synth nearing 30 years of age and a thoughtfully smoothed over corner of the keyboard case shows some wood. Keyboard could benefit from rebushing, but ALL KEYS TRACK PERFECTLY and the machine is guaranteed to be playable as a musical instrument upon arrival. "

Pauline Oliveros' Groundbreaking "Reverberations: Tape + Electronic Music 1961-1970" Kickstarter

via Kickstarter where you'll find full details.

"Pauline Oliveros' groundbreaking "Reverberations: Tape + Electronic Music 1961-1970" box set is in need of a re-press.

Pauline Oliveros' Reverberations: Tape + Electronic Music 1961-1970 12CD box set has been out of print for almost two years and is in need of a re-press. For less than the price of a used copy on Discogs or Ebay you can get a signed box set delivered to your door. (Currently you can get a sealed box on Discogs for $410.00)

As soon as the goal is met we'll order the re-press which will, hopefully, be in-hand for the Deep Listening Conference at EMPAC July 10-13."

Will Gregory's Moog Ensemble

Will Gregory's Moog Ensemble from Andy McCreeth on Vimeo.

"The Will Gregory Moog Ensemble first performed together in 2005 as part of the Bath Festival, recreating some of the ‘Switched on Bach’ arrangements of Wendy Carlos in the Seventies. As one half of the electronic music sensation Goldfrapp, the keyboard-player and composer Will Gregory is one of the UK’s leading advocates of using synthesizers and electronic instruments to create new sounds and reinvent old ones. The band perform a mixture of specially composed music, transcriptions of classical works, and their own versions of music from popular culture and film scores.

This was filmed in May 2014 at a rehearsal for their forthcoming shows."

Crumar DS-2

via this auction

via the seller: "CRUMAR DS-2 synthesizer in super cool army style footlocker style road case with CRUMAR logos on it. (Let me start by saying that I am a guitar player and don't know a ton about synths so feel free to correct my terminology if I get some things wrong.) This is a vintage synthesizer from Italy. It powers up and all the keys produce notes, it seemed in tune with itself when chords were played. There is a pitch control near the pitch slider thingy that change the pitch when moved, I would guess that the pitch wheel could dial it in to a modern tuner, or wherever else you wanted to go. There is a multi position octave selector switch near the bender bar that changes the overall octave of the synth up and down.

I messed around with this thing for about half an hour, and the knobs & sliders seemed to work, with one notable exception* - rates and octaves change, timbres change, the sounds can be modified.* The one thing I couldn't get to work was the little pitch bender bar. It may work, and I didn't have it engaged? This thing has so many controls that I wasn't sure what I was doing. There may have been other things that don't work, but it seemed like most of the controls were functional. The only thing I noticed that was definitely missing was the top slider for OSC. 1 on the left hand side of the keyboard. You can see this section in one of the pictures. The controls seemed pretty clean, not super scratchy.

Cosmetically this thing is in pretty good shape. The case seems to have kept it pretty nice over the years. Some old tape here and there, normal wear from use you'd see on a vintage instrument, but nothing serious. The case has some nicks and scrapes but it is solid as well. Will need a new handle. Pictures should tell the story, condition wise. "

Native Instruments iMASCHINE Update – Now Also Optimized for iPad

"Native Instruments releases iMASCHINE update – now also optimized for iPad

Berlin, May 22, 2014 – Native Instruments today released an update for iMASCHINE – the acclaimed beat sketchpad for iOS devices. The latest version of the app is optimized for iPad, adapting to its larger screen layout. The update also includes a generous set of new sounds, iTunes sampling, and more. Current owners of iMASCHINE receive the update free. New customers can get iMASCHINE for $4.99 / 4,49 € / £2.99 / ¥500 at the Apple App Store.

iMASCHINE allows users to create music sketches on-the-go with their iPad or iPhone. With an eclectic selection of drums, synths, one-shots, and a built-in audio recorder, it is designed for on-the-go beatmaking. The update features a new user interface and an optimized layout for iPhone 5, iPad and iPad mini. On the iPad, the modified interface allows two-handed operation: editing and performing functions are now on the same window as iMASCHINE’s 16 drum-pads, 2-octave keyboard and the audio-recorder, making its workflow even smoother. Aside from iMASCHINE’s standard library, the update also includes QUANTUM COLLECTION – a brand-new iMASCHINE Expansion featuring a choice selection of sounds from the recently released MASCHINE 2 Library. The new iTunes sampling allows users to capture parts from the music on their iOS device and edit the samples’ start and end points.

Writing and performing with iMASCHINE becomes easier, thanks to a number of helpful workflow enhancements. Intuitive XY performance controls are a new way to perform effects. A swipe redo/undo function is a welcome addition for an even faster workflow. Lastly, this iMASCHINE update adds a metronome on/off switch – a popular request from the iMASCHINE community. Anyone who already owns iMASCHINE gets this entire feature set, including QUANTUM COLLECTION, for free by updating the iMASCHINE app on their iOS device.

Current iMASCHINE owners get the update free by updating the iMASCHINE app on their iOS device. New customers can get iMASCHINE for $4.99 / 4,49 € / £2.99 / ¥500 at the Apple App Store."
