"isms

an extensible electronic instrument and composition system

emcompassing generalized practices and inter-ideological patterns

a mannequins + monome collaboration

isms is a eurorack modular synth case with an integrated top row of fundamental circuits. we've packed a ton of functions into the case itself so you can focus available space on control and synthesis modules. rear-mount jacks are integrated into the case, providing the feel of a beautifully contained standalone instrument.

functions → output mixer (3 input) with integrated rear jacks — headphone driver (independent level control) — spring reverb send/receive with mix level — external signal input with gain, envelope follower, and gate — 3 gates (vca/lpg/lpd modes, vactrol based) — 2 attenuverters (also serve as voltage source) — noise (pink and white) — LFO (tri and square) with voltage controllable rate — active mixer with attenuverters and offsetting — 3 bus points with LED indication — USB switch

KORG MS-10 SN 131778 Owned by Ladytron for Sale?

"This is one sweet puppy!!!

I bought this KORG MS-10 Vintage Monophonic Synthesizer in Sweden about 17 years ago. It was recently checked over, calibrated and got a US power supply, the old one from Japan didn’t run in the US, so now it runs totally perfectly!!!

This was used live for two of the first Ladytron gigs in the UK and France. I know this cause I was the original singer for Ladytron back then. That's me and Danny in the picture on what I think is Ladytron's first ever live gig. 3000 people showed up!

As you can see from the image, the KORG is in great exterior condition too. One of the original keys is however slightly broken, but it still works to play it.

I’m only selling it because I’m moving internationally and need to reduce my personal belongings ASAP."

I'm believe this would be Lisa Eriksson of Techno Squirrels.

Moog Mother 32 Semi modular synthesizer Sound Lab ADE 2015

Published on Oct 20, 2015 Gearslutz

"Moog presented a nice modular kit, but also this eurorack compatible synth voice with sequencer. Gearslutz asked if they could show us what nice sound it makes.
Strangely enough some interference (through a hidden microphone) ended up in the recording. It seemed to come from the headphone network we plugged into."

Pittsburgh DNA Symbiotic Waves - Unlimited Possibilities

Follow up to my first video. This one is more about patching in the filter, envelope, the arpeggio feature on the Midi3 module, and some trials with the sample-hold/glide on the Toolbox module.

To put the possibilities into perspective do the math. There are 16 wavetables on OSC1 and 16 processor types. That's 256 combinations right there. Then consider 16 wavetables on OSC2, that makes 4096 different combinations. Then think about tweaking the tuning, balance, and processor amounts to change the color of the sound. It is absolutely mind-boggling.

Sorry the video is shaky, my stand for the eurorack is wobbly. I will probably start shooting these videos on something more stable."

R.A.Moog 702 Percussion Synthesizer - test with LFO

Published on Oct 20, 2015 noddyspuncture

"Carrying on with the 702 - today I completed a "project board LFO". Square wave with Rate and also Pulse Width controls, as I believe that the front panel Rate & Regularity on the 702 are possibly the same..!? You can see me turning them here, outside of the 702. Now before I start getting the usual (and annoying) "Doesn't Sound Like Percussion..." comments - you must remember that this module is incomplete. It was only half built - left unfinished - sometime in the late 1960's and it's not been looked at since. Half of it is missing...! No one knows what it was intended to sound like, and I am just guessing. Anyway, what I have here is the Pitch & Bandwidth controls working and 'almost there'. The Pitch Range switch needs looking into and the Delay Time control doesn't operate at all. I think I will be taking a different kind of "Delay the Oscillator" approach as the circuit which I've drawn out just doesn't add up. This video shows just one of the three oscillators playing that I am testing out my ideas on - and I have also yet to add an EG and a VCA...!"

Roland Boutique JX-03 noodle demo

Published on Oct 20, 2015 ollilaboratories

"Today was like meeting an old friend, the Roland JX-3P was my first proper synthesizer and getting my hands on the JX-03 really made me jump up and down with pure joy.

Now, as you all know i dont really do demos, but i thought id just connect the cameras when testing it for the first time, noodling away for ages and ages. There really is no focus on the music, so pardon my random crappy playing.. i just wanted to try and capture the polyphonic capabilities with long release times and such.

First thing i noticed, damn it sounds good, it is as good as i remember my old 3P, a pure joy playing and the compact size / knobs did not really bother me at all. And its also very well built, w partial top metal casing.

One important note, you might see the JP08 and JU06 flicker when i use the pitch bender etc, this is because all synths are MIDI chained from the NLA1.. however i can assure you that they are muted in the mixer and the only synth you hear is the JX03 at all times.

One thing i noticed, the output is very HOT, so there might be some overload at times - i didnt really dial in a sweet spot. Oh and I use NO FX the first 20 minutes, not even the built in delay and/or chorus. I wanted to capture the sound as is. NOTE: at 20.45 i turn on some external simple delay and reverb on the MS-70 to finish off the noodle session :)

Cheers, i hope this video is helpful and informational, even though i dont say anything... i always let the synths do the talking.

Cheers!"

Novation Circuit controlling a Drum rack in Ableton - CALC-

Published on Oct 20, 2015 -CALC-

http://us.novationmusic.com/circuit

"A little experiment using the internal sequencer from Circuit to control a drum rack in Ableton Live. Live Lite is in the box and the samples used are from the Novation Loopmasters sample pack. Circuit is connected to Ableton via USB.
In this test Ableton is only acting as an additional sound source for Circuit's sequencer.

Set the Drum rack channel to receive on Channel 10 (drum sequencer Channel on Circuit) and place your samples on to notes C3,D3, E3 and F3 to match Drums 1 through to 4. I also mapped some of the controls in the Drum rack's Simpler instrument.

With mapping Circuit can also be an excellent addition to an Ableton Live set-up and can also make full use of it's fine sequencer and scales modes.

To balance between the volumes in Ableton and Circuit just use Circuit's Mixer.

This was a first experiment... musically I don't think it's fantastic but it proves the concept. As always it's much better to listen to on a set of headphones or monitors rather than a laptop or phone speaker.

Quirky Beat on the Dam Drum 3.0 from Stones Throw & Bleep Labs

Published on Oct 20, 2015 djhombre

"A little late night mess about with the Dam Drum 3 while nothing was on TV.

I'd forgotten how tricky it was to get these patterns to line up, I have a feeling that a couple of the buttons start their sequences on different beats...adding to the random nature of whatever happens with the unit!

While I enjoy playing with the Dam Drum, it is very difficult to get a recording onto youtube that doesn't sound bad - I think Youtube compression gets a little over-eager with the 8bit grunginess of the unit."

"This is a composition from a new modular synth Techno project I'm working on. All live one take jam sessions in the spirit of the founding fathers of the movement: Juan Atkins, Derick May and Kevin Saunderson. I wouldn't be making unclassifiable electronic music if it wasn't for the creativity, spirit and rhythm of these Detroit pillars of sound. My upcoming Techno release Negroshima is inspired by the inner city pulse of Detroit Techno with an inner city West Coast twist. This sonic offering is an auditory invite to get up and dance and get lost in the sound.
Thanks for listening."

Roland JX-3P (1983) vs. Roland Juno-106 (1984) Analog Synthesizer with identical sound programs.

This video shows the different sound character. The Juno-106 sounds more bassy and the chorus is deeper.
The JX-3P sounds more raw like the JP-8 (the same filter) but without the bass fundament and the chorus is not so deep.
both are great synths and I love both a lot.

no compression or EQ used. only a bit delay."
