Alesis HR16b Drum machine Sounds


Published on Dec 2, 2014 Synth Universe

"A quick demo using all the sounds in the HR16b set in various patterns. I have two HR16s and one has the sound chips from the HR16b which are more electronic sounding than the original sounds. I hate the claps on both units! I will put up a video for the original HR16 sounds.

What do you think of this drum machine? I've been wanting to get one of these for years just for one of the kicks on the original machine.

Because they are so old they usually come with their own problems, namely double triggering sounds, having to hit the pads really hard to make a sound, cleaning the dirt off the internal contacts so the buttons work, etc. I think the HR16 is a decent machine, a lot better than the Yamaha RX8 but nothing too special."

Electro-Harmonix C9 Organ Machine with Mellotron Flutes & Clavoline Presets


Published on Dec 2, 2014 EHX

"The new C9 Organ Machine springboards off the revolutionary B9 to mine another rich vein of classic gold and provide players with nine more definitive organ and keyboard sounds.

The C9 will transform your instrument into a convincing full body, electric organ or vintage electronic keyboard. For each preset chosen, it also provides precise control over important elements of that sound’s sonic fingerprint like percussive click, modulation, attack/sustain, drawbar setting or high frequency content. Blend your dry signal to create beautiful layers. Lovers of classic organ and keyboard rejoice!
http://www.ehx.com/products/c9"

"PRESET DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tone Wheel - Classic tone wheel-esque organ sound. MOD type: Chorus.
CLICK sets level of click sound.
2. Prog – Paying homage to the massive sound of Keith Emerson of Emerson
Lake and Palmer. MOD type: Chorus. CLICK adjusts the level of an
interval of a fifth and an octave below.
3. Compact - This preset imitates a sound similar to Ray Manzarek’s tone on
the Door’s “Light My Fire.” MOD type: Vibrato. CLICK adjusts the level of
upper harmonics.
4. Shimmer - This preset is based on an effect made popular by Brain Eno
and Daniel Lanois. MOD adjusts the attack time. CLICK controls the sustain
amount.
5. Lord Purple – Our salute to the Jon Lord-ish type organ sound of Deep
Purple. The ORGAN level controls the level of one set of 3 drawbars. MOD
Type: Chorus. CLICK adjusts the level of a second set of 3 drawbars.
6. Mello Flutes – A tribute to the classic Mellotron flute tape sound of The Beatles’ song “Strawberry Fields Forever.” MOD Type: Vibrato. CLICK
adjusts the depth of the vibrato.
7. Blimp - Led Zeppelin type sound. MOD Type: Chorus. CLICK adjusts the
level of upper harmonics.
8. Press Tone – EHX’s nod to the great organ sound found on The Beatles’
song “Let It Be.” MOD type: Chorus. CLICK sets level of click sound.

"For sale is a very rare Oxford Synthesizer Company OSCar. This synth is in excellent near mint shape & fully functional. Cosmetically looks great, bright graphics & easy to read, only a few small scratches. Sides back & bottom are all in excellent shape too. It operates at 220v & comes with a new high quality step up/step down transformer for use worldwide. Latest version with midi, new battery & replaced caps for perfect future operation. This is an amazing monophonic/duophonic synth with very advanced features for the period, including sequencer/arpeggiator, patch memory. You can even change the harmonics of the waveforms. Very warm unique analog sound, unlike anything else & the quality is on par with the greatest of them, equal in capabilities to Minimoogs, Arp, Roland & Korgs. Possibly my favorite vintage monosynth. Check out the pictures below. These are getting harder to find with each passing year, & rarely come up in such nice condition. Don't miss out!"

Jen SX 1000 Synthesiser *Fantastic Condition*

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

via this auction

via the seller: "I have owned this synth for about 8 years and it has been carefully restored and improved over that time. The filter components have been replaced with high quality 1% metal film resistors and 1% polystyrene capacitors which means it now sounds as it was intended. It has a 24dB/ octave filter not a 12dB as is often incorrectly described. See this article for more details (he is not writing about this synth).

The 1uF electrolytic input capacitor which forms a low pass filter has been replaced with a 3uF polypropylene to subtly improve the bass response (one of the common complaints about the SX1000 is poor bass). The potentiometers in the signal path have been replaced with high quality conductive plastic type, which will permanently cure the crackles and noise. The feel is not affected, you cannot tell the difference. Most Jen's for sale will have noisy pots or had them sprayed with contact cleaner, which only works for a few months. I still have the original components in case you want to restore the original crackly sound.

All the electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with high quality, long life Panasonic electrolytics, so should be good for another 40 years.

This synth looks like it has been been gigged in a previous life and has the stickers (and knocks) to prove it. Most unusually though it is only missing one knob cap, and the rest are the original colours in the correct place. Bear in mind this is at least 35 years old, so is not immaculate but I think it still looks great.

If you are looking at this you probably know about the SX1000, but a nice review here anyway.

So there you have it, it sounds great, looks great and is very playable and reliable."

Buchla Christmas by Warner Jepson



"SHINKOYO is very proud to release for the first time ever, a most auspicious recording, Warner Jepson's Buchla Christmas. I'll let Warner explain it in his own words...

San Francisco Bay Area: 1969

"I'd been playing Buchla music in various galleries for openings, as well as MOMA openings. They liked them enough, since the music gave a good time, was infectious and totally new to people. So MOMA asked me to provide music for their annual Christmas party for Children on a Saturday morning.

So I took off one evening for Mills College where the Buchla now was kept to take up my usual time time slot of 8pm. At the time use of the Tape/Buchla room was very loose; I could stay as long as I liked after the building closed at 10; sometimes I would be there almost till dawn. There were times, however, when I'd go back home at midnight dejected at having found nothing exciting.

This night I was already across the Bay Bridge when I realized I hadn't brought any Christmas music, no carols! I was going to have to remember what I could. Turned out I knew enough of them to play with.

The Buchla doesn't' have a keyboard like a piano (with twelve notes to the octave), just slits in a metal plate with two tuning knobs to give each slit a pitch or a pair of pitches. I didn't have to reconstruct all twelve notes of a scale, just the notes needed in the song. Tuning what few notes I needed for each tone was fairly easy. But one carol sounded like church bells because it one of the notes sounded out of tune as some church bells because their tuning doesn't fit with a tempered tuning so goes out of tune with the other notes. At first I thought this a problem, but since it did resemble church bells it decided it added to the charm. Other sounds reminded me of lighter caroling bells as I imagined in old Germany or the Alps, at least, as I remembered hearing them.

The most pleasure came when I incorporated the sequencing module that gave a tune rhythm that it never had nor would have, since it came from a synthesizer with a different kind of creativity that a human wouldn't have. The unusual rhythm added a kick to the carol.

I didn't have enough carols to make a long enough session so I added here and there, especially at the end, some synthesizer music that I'd previously made on the Buchla that sounded shimmering and might evoke a starry sleigh filled night."

Minimal Glitch - Modular Improv


Published on Dec 2, 2014 Modular Cult

"This patch started out as a single voice sequence. Ended up as an experiment in using gate signals as audio sources.

An output of the 4MS RCD is used as a audio source, along with some enveloped white noise to make the rhythmic glitches. Also the stuttering 'ghost' of the main sequence is produced by modulating the sine wave output of the main VCO with another output of the RCD through a Yusynth Balanced Modulator. The result is filtered by a CGS 1973 Serge VCF."
