Hinton Instruments MIDIX - Innerclock Systems Historical Classic Hardware Series # 1 – 1984


via Innerclock Systems where you'll find more pics & a schematic. The MIDIX has only been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH once before.

"Hinton Instruments MIDIX

Possibly the most advanced precision MIDI Router ever made.

'An advanced, reliable hardware switched MIDI routing system with low data distortion and delay, unlike nearly all other routers which use software or time multiplexed techniques leading to degraded performance as the size or traffic increases. The total delay through any MIDIX matrix is less than 200 nanoseconds with a pulse distortion less than 0.7% regardless of matrix size. MIDIX will handle any MIDI Data passed through it with total integrity.'"

"Apparently only 200 of these synths were ever made. They came with breath control so you can vary the volume by breathing down a plastic tube but I don't have the rubber tube. Not sure if this feature can be made to work or not."

Clavia Nord Modular Rack G1 // Sound Editing In The Machine - No Computer


Published on Apr 12, 2015 LESINDES

"The NORD MODULAR is normally edited with a computer. The patch creation is done with a dedicated program by Clavia the Nord Modular Editor or Nomad which is another program designed to do that job. But what if you don't if you can't use a computer for the purpose of editing for any reason. This video shows you how to change the sound parameters of a given patch only with the red machine itself even if no knobs are assigned to the patch parameters."

DSI Tetra - 'Push it' Nonsense (it's a drone, not a cover version)


Published on Apr 12, 2015 DreamsOfWires

"I've had my head buried in this little box over the last couple of days, learning to control it in different ways, but whilst creating some new patches I was quite enjoying just messing around with the filter and assignable controls in conjunction with the 'Push it' button. Sometimes recording gets far too complicated and uninspiring for my liking, so I thought I'd simply tether it to a handheld audio recorder via the Eventide Space reverb and record the results... however bad they may be.

It's improvised of course, but it's been a particularly windy day today, so the sounds and video footage are inspired by that. Slap-happy recording and technical ignorance forever!"

All buttons are working great 100%
Pitch/Mod/Velocity/After-touch/Control Sliders/Volume all working fine.
Crackle Free Volume slider/jack
Output Jacks, headphone jack, sustain/foot control jack and MIDI ports working 100% (can't test breath controller input as never had one)
LCD and LED readout working 100% - super bright back light.

Very nice/clean overall condition
Some minor nicks and scuffs on visible area (small one below screen, small mark between pitch bend/mod wheel for example - see photos)
Rear side is clean and logos are in tact
End Caps are solid
Underside has a few scratches, marks and scuffs from keyboard stands (but bear in mind considering this is a 30 year old synth the important visible sections could almost pass for nearly new!)

"This is the 1191 model; the very first model released in 1974 (which in my opinion make it even more rare since there were less than 300 units total ever made.) It is in great condition considering it is 40 years old. There are a couple of chips in the wood and scratches on the face yet nothing really serious compared to the seriousness of its devastating tone !!
A rare example of a very unique and exceptional portable 3-VCO monophonic analog synthesizer that rivals the popular Minimoog with its fat tone but also the EMS Synthi with its huge range of additionable modulations. All at the tip of a clever assortment of switches, no need of patch-cords nor pins. This one is in very good cosmetic and technic condition for its age. Apart from some serigraphy gone here and there and a few - sometimes scratchy - pots it really looks great and behaves as it should, which could be described as 'wonderfully' !"

"You are bidding on a Vostok synth from Analogue Solutions, which incorporates many of their modules with a VCS3 style pin matrix. The Vostok can sculpt incredibly thick sounds, especially when overdriving the filter it can generate leads and baselines with a lot of variety.

The synth contains:

3 oscillators
pin matrix
ring modulator
2 lfos
8 step sequencer
attenuated joystick
output meter
2 envelope generators
noise and sample and hold
6 channel mixer
splits
(ludicrously beefy) filter based on the MS20, killer bass comes out of this thing!
midi input
Included in the sale also:
8 patch leads (ignore the image, in retrospect 4 seemed rather measly)
10 standard matrix pins
6 resistor pins (for mixing signals)"

Korg EX800 polyphonic synth

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

via this auction

"The Korg Poly-800 is a synthesizer released by Korg in 1983. Its initial list price of $795 made it the first fully programmable synthesizer that sold for less than $1000. It featured a 49 key non-velocity sensitive keyboard, two buttons for data entry, and a joystick controller, which could modulate the DCO pitch or the VCF. Though the Poly-800 had MIDI, it did not feature MIDI sysex functionality, and patches had to be backed up to cassette tape. It had 8-voice polyphony (paraphony) with one DCO per voice. It could be switched into double mode which stacks two DCOs for a fuller sound, but reduces the polyphony to 4 voices. It featured one analog resonant low-pass VCF with 24dB/oct which was shared for all voices. Like a monophonic synthesizer, the filter was switchable between single or multiple modes. In single mode, the first key pressed triggers the filter envelope, and unless all keys are released, the filter does not re-trigger. In multi mode, each key pressed in turn triggers the filter envelope, even if other keys are still pressed down.

Further it had three digital envelope generators, a noise generator, an LFO, and a chorus effect. It also sported a simple built in sequencer.

About a year after the Poly-800 was introduced, a keyboardless, rackmount/tabletop version, called the EX-800, was released, adding limited MIDI sysex capability."

SolidGoldFX - surf rider III + electroman vs KORG ms-20 / System-1


Published on Apr 12, 2015 ollilaboratories

"I have recently had the opportunity to try out some excellent pedals from SolidGoldFX- this time i hooked up the surf rider III (reverb) and electroman (delay) with the KORG ms-20 mini. Accompanying the ms.20 sequence is a simple but beautiful lead sound on the System-1 which uses its internal FX delay and reverb processing.

This is a classic, kill your darlings track... it actually started out with bass / drums etc etc.. but i chose to strip it down to just to the two remaining components, sequence and melody, it felt more organic this way.

I hope you like it... and also as always no mutitracking or post processing, all played live (ms-20 sequenced by ableton live)

Also, please make sure to check out SolidGoldFX at http://solidgoldfx.com/"
