VGM #61: TEM Shop + Dogsong (Undertale)


Published on Dec 15, 2015 Ace Waters

"hOI!!!!!! I really wanted to do a nice, silly song from Undertale this week and was inspired by the TEM Shop. It was just the perfect level of silly for me.

Make sure to show some love for FERALxPANDA. He made the gif of me as a temmie. His Undertale video is excellent, and has no spoilers! Go and check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=v96Dm4..."

Norhythmic Live (Korg Gadget, KP3, and KP3+)


Published on Dec 15, 2015 Lars Hinkley

This one in via Lars Hinkley: "The first track is me fx-manipulating the Vader theme, and everything after are original tracks that I made in Korg Gadget, plus some signal processing (Korg Gadget>KP3+>KP3>Mixer) am improvising throughout the video."

And the description via YouTube:

"My live performance at Mac Club (full). I start out with live fx processing the Vader theme (it was a starwars themed event) then go into my original work. Thanks to John Wichner for recording the set on his camera. Please forgive those who got in the way of the camera, they know not what they have done. Don't worry, John moves the camera after a minute or two and it's fine again, feel free to skip ahead. https://soundcloud.com/liamecrow is my soundcloud with much higher quality recordings. The end of the video is John describing the Star Wars Holiday Special which we hatewatched shortly after."

Published on Dec 15, 2015 Genshi Media Group

"This is just a technical demo of the Banana Jack to 3.5mm Converter box that I made (with a lot of help from Steve of Synthrotek... thanks again Steve!) The description of how I am using it is in the video itself (there are two parts to the video.)

I've received interest from several Phenol users who want a solution like this, so I built this prototype in consideration of possibly making more to sell... haven't quite decided yet if it will be worth my time and effort though."

Metasonix TM-4 Vacuum Tube Guitar Amp SN 005


via this auction

"Up for grabs is the uber hard to find unobtanium rare TM-4 stereo amplifier from Metasonix. All knobs and jacks are tight. There is some very minor fading on a couple of the letters on the module and a small chip in the paint where the screw is and I lost one of the screw from opening it to take pics and a few scuffs underneath but other than that it's in mint shape. This is as close as you will get to a Fucking Fucker sound as you are gonna get in a pedal. Heavy, unforgiving stereo distortion on guitars and eats drum machines like no ones business."

Apparently these are pretty hard to find. If you have a Prophet VS take extra care of that joystick. Thought it was interesting to see some pics of the internals.

"For sale is my Sequential Circuits Prophet VS Joystick replacement part in New Old Stock (NOS) condition. This is the perfect replacement if your joystick on your VS is not working, or great as a backup just in case. Incredibly rare, I don't believe I've ever seen one of these up for sale before and they can't be found anywhere. If you've been waiting for a new joystick for your VS to appear, here it is!!"

Korg Trident Mk 2 1982 Analog Polyphonic Synth

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

via this auction

"Korg Trident Mk2 8 voice poly analog synth 61 keys and with 32 patch memory from 1982-83, this was Korg's flagship polyphonic analog synth when the first Mk1 version was released in late 1979/early 80. This vintage analog synth was in bad condition on the inside when I bought it from Germany. Along with various other issues this one had the same battery leak issue that is common to the Korg Tridents and the lower cost Korg Polysix, this is a USA 117 V version. This Trident is in fair condition cosmetically with showing much signs of heavy use and assorted scratches/scrapes and dings/dents, and this is somewhat expected from a vintage synth that has been around for 30+ years. There are pictured two chipped keys on the synth but we decided to leave them as they were because they do not affect the keys in any way. I sent the synth to the best repair and service available for old analog synths, The Analog Lab in NYC. The Trident synth has been 100% and extensively restored by them and functions 100% no missing voices or dead keys, and I have the work/service order. The Trident synth I can sell for $5K without the Anvil flight case, which I had ordered custom built new for the Trident and it costs over $500 for the case. These analog VCO/VCF Tridents used SSM chips and were very well regarded as awesome analog string synths with an onboard flanger, and with a limited but sweet brass and poly synth section as well. These Tridents were high quality made and built like a tank with real solid wood cases and this is a heavy synth, they don't build them like this very much anymore. The Mk 2 version added more memory and an additional envelope control for the VCF, also included is an original Korg service manual..."

Wiard 1200 Series Borg Voltage Controlled Filter

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

via this auction

via the seller: "This is a Wiard 1200 Series Borg filter with blue anodized faceplate. I am the original owner. I am selling off some modular gear as my "work" takes me in a different direction.
If you are familiar with Wiard gear you know all about this: The Borg Filter uses a completly new filter design using “Vactrol”-based electronics. Where did the Borg name come from? Buchla Model 292 Low-pass Gate + KORG MS-20 High and Low-Pass Filters.

Wiard 1200 series modules were designed for the Frac-Rack (Paia, Blacet) rack system. This module requires +/-15vdc power.

Module works great though there is some "rack rash" around the mounting holes, a slight scratch on the faceplate, and a slight imperfection of the anodizing around the engraved "Wiard" logo at bottom of module (see photos)"

The Harvestman Stillson Hammer II Sequencer


Some details via The Harvestman

"This should answer a few questions. This is posted as a courtesy now that the device has been seen in public more than once. We will turn the parts over to manufacturing soon, and it should be available after NAMM.

STILLSON HAMMER MARK II is a 4-track control voltage sequencer for realtime music performance. Four CV/gate tracks directly control your collection of oscillators and percussion. Seven pages of parameters determine your musical performance, edited in realtime with a bank of 16 sliders. A series of hotkeys immediately generate or modify sequences or individualised parameters across all four tracks, with no menu diving whatsoever. Two CV inputs and large manual controls mutate any number of sequence parameters, with programmable modulation amount per step. 32 preset slots are provided for your storage of sequencer data. The keypad, rotary encoder, CV modifiers, LED feedback (on all buttons, sliders, and numerical display) and slider bank work in harmony to allow astonishingly fast music creation across all four tracks, in an ergonomically valid user interface uncommon in modular synthesis. It is possible to quickly generate and meaningfully manipulate a full 4-track sequence with minimal slider interaction.

Dedicated hot keys for instantly intitialising or randomising parameter or track data.
Intelligent slider catch allows one row of sliders to program a number of different pages, with visual feedback
4-digit numerical display provides feedback about currently edited parameter
Nonvolatile preset storage of 32 sequences
Delay, burst, and slide times track tempo changes
Internal clock generator or external input
Manual or trigger controlled start/stop/reset (reset trigger output provided)
Per track (4 tracks total):
1v/oct calibrated CV output (8V max)
Gate output (10v)
Mute function
Quantizer scale (off, 12-tone, roots and fifths, minor/major triads, sixth and sevenths, all seven modes with selectable root)
adjustable track length (each track may differ, all tracks follow the reset signal, preset changes happen at the end of track 1’s length)
Parameters per step (maximum 16 steps per sequence):
CV value (0-8V at full scale, 0-5V, or selectable 2-octave ranges)
Slide/portamento
Gate length and offset/delay
Burst rate and repetition count per step
All step parameters may be modulated by two external CV channels. Each CV input can be assigned to any combination of parameter pages, with the attenuation of the CV input programmable per sequencer step. The two manual controls are large and playable.
MSRP: $666 (US)."
