KORG POLY 800 with Mods

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

via this auction

"The Korg Poly800 came from that strange era of Korg synths where they couldn't seem to decide between analogue and digital, and so came up with a selection of hybrid synths that didn't seem to excel as either sound. On paper the Poly800 was a pretty well endowed machine but in reality it always sounded a little thin and never really fulfilled its potential, which is why these modifications are so useful and crucial to making this item as powerful and flexible as it is.

Modifications include:
Cutoff & Resonance Knobs: This mod adds knob controls for the filter cutoff and resonance parameters for realtime control. The resonance knob can take the resonance well into self oscillation and far beyond what is programmable from the front panel. This can produce the kind of screaming top end and subsonic bass that gives this machine a whole new range of sonic possibilities. The filter cutoff knob allows you to perform long filter sweeps for those squidgy burbling analogue lines this Korg is capable of but could never actually be programmed. Both parameters are still also controlled by the normal programming methods which can set the range of the knobs control.
12dB / 24dB Filter Response Switch: Somewhat mysteriously the filter chip used in this machine has both 12dB/Oct and 24dB/Oct outputs but only the 24dB one is actually used. This mod adds a switch to select either a 24dB or less drastic 12dB filter response

External Audio Input: This accepts a line level audio signal and inserts it before the filter and chorus effect so you can use it to process external signals. The input is set up so that a loud signal will slightly overdrive the filter for a dirty sound

External Audio Path Switch: This switch sends the audio from the external input either via the DCO1 or DCO2 signal path or turns it off completely. The input doesn't respond to the DEG audio level envelopes but instead is gated on and off by the noise gate that korg implemented to silence the synth when all the envelopes are completely closed. i.e. when the DEG envelope for the chosen path closes completely at the end of the release phase, the noise gate is activated and the external audio input is cut. The audio input is still effected by the filter envelope. An external input can easily be filtered without having to hold down a note by setting up a patch with all the oscillator tones turned off, but the DCO 'level' parameter set to full. If you use the note 'Hold' function and press a key the audio input will be audible and can be processed with the filter etc

Input Level Knob: Controls the level of the audio input.

VCF FM Knob: Adds the ability to control Filter Cutoff with DCO1. This is commonly known as FM control of a filter."

works perfectly, can do anything from tr808 snares, to various snaps and claps and crunching sounds. The perfect thing to layer under samples to get an organic sound with some variety.

the outer cases of these are made of a shiny plastic so they are really easy to scuff and scratch, as such its not perfect."

"Super easy and fun Analog cv/gate and midi trigger/sequencer. This one has had very little use with only 1 owner and is in a 9.9 out of 10 condition. Just a tiny small scratch by the rackmount hole. A breeze to learn and a must for syncing old analog and midi cv/gate synths and drum machines in the studio or live performances. Never gigged, and always kept in my Non smoking A/C controlled private studio."

Quadra MK II progress report video

Published on Apr 21, 2015 SPFXsynthesisers

"Quick video to show where the MK II version is up to.
Up to now it is 6GB(original version 500MB). If I add the preset system of presets made on a real Quadra it is probably going to be a 10GB+ library.
Left to do:
Finish Lead section.
Finish sequencer.

Create separate Quadra sections so a modular Quadra can be created.and add sequencer to them.
Add Arpeggiator to Lead section.
Test.
Make presets."

Microbe Modular Meta Sequencer Now Available

Introduced in December, the Microbe Modular Meta Sequencer is now available.

"The Meta Sequencer is a variable length CV step sequencer with a built-in clock divider.

At its core, the Meta Sequencer consists of a step knob and value knob, both which have their own numeric displays. There's also a clock gate input and reset gate input, both with associated pushbuttons. And finally, there's a 12-bit CV output.

An menu system is used for changing settings such as quantization scales, arpeggiations, clock division, sequence length, and randomization."

Spatial Frontiers: Quadraphonic Concert Featuring Three Buchla Music Easels This Friday

via Todd Barton:

"Spatial Frontiers: Quadraphonic Concert

Noon, Friday, April 24, 2015
Schneider Museum of Art
With special guest Eden Mononym

The next performance is Friday, April 24, noon at the Schneider Museum of Art on the campus of Southern Oregon University. Todd Barton and Bruce Bayard are joined by Eden Mononym and all three perform on the Buchla Music Easel. The performance begins at Noon and is free and open to the public.

The series continues the exploration of space as a compositional tool, this time, expanding the quadraphonic sound into all four galleries of the Museum. For this performance, in addition to the Buchla Easel: Electric Music Box, Todd adds the Japanese Sho to the ensemble, to continue the investigation of acoustic instruments in the mix.

Eden Mononym is a local sound artist, working for Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments. He began tape splicing at the age of 10, essentially planting the seeds for a self taught journey. Exploring various techniques from modular electronics, computers, live coding, acoustics, to the avant-garde. Eden is always searching for an electro-organic sound, with a focus on expression based approaches.

Todd Barton is former Director of Composition Studies for the Music Department at Southern Oregon University and Resident Composer Emeritus for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Todd is currently Consulting Artist for Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments. After four decades of exploration, Barton is still delving deeply into the ever-expanding frontiers of musical expression: from his DNA derived Genome Music to innovative scores for plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival; from performances of Zen Shakuhachi Meditation Music to avant-garde music for electronic synthesizers and computers; from performing with luminaries of jazz and poetry to lecturing on music and composition from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century.

Bruce Bayard began oil painting at age 9, and although briefly attended the University of New Mexico, is largely self-taught. He has worked in various media and techniques including oil, acrylic, casein, collage, lithography, etching, screen printing, pencil, crayon, encaustic and assemblage.

In 2000, Bayard began an exploration into digital technology as a means of creating art, producing archival pigment prints. During the last couple years, he has been exploring performance and multimedia improvisation with an ensemble that combines sound, voice, dance, poetry and video collage.

all best wishes,
Todd"

Roland MC-202 Modified Gate Input

Published on Apr 21, 2015 Pacou Just Pacou

"this MC-202 has modified CV Gate input. Roland by mistake had the input (to run the synth part from any external sequencer or keyboard) running thru the CPU, causing delay and missing notes. It can be fixed with a small soldering job. in this case plugging in will disconnect the internal sequencer from the synth part (makes sense), unplugging will give the MC 202 sequencer control over the synth."
