R.A.Moog 901a & 901b comparisons with hand-built units...


Published on Feb 1, 2016 noddyspuncture

"A second *comparison video* - this time including my 901a controller which wasn't ready when I made the first comparison video. This time though the sound isn't direct... but it's through quite a large sound system and should give you an idea..! These 901 units were built to the exact same spec as my original R.A.Moog 901a & 901b - the only difference are the two switches I incorporated into the 901b oscillator for a 4th down and a 5th up and also a switch to assign the oscillator to either my home built controller or one of my original Moog controllers. These custom modifications are only for making live playing easier...!"

"This unit has been well taken care of. The internal NiCad battery has been removed and a lithium battery with a socket has been fitted in its place. All PCB's look nice and clean condition. It's a good unit for a Kiwisix midi upgrade.

Cosmetically, it's in good condition given its age. There are some minor scratches here and there and some small chips to the side panels.

It's fully functional, and calibrated as per service manual.

I made a video, it's not terribly exciting but it's just to show all controls are functioning. Plenty of other videos on youtube showing what this synth is capable of."

The Institute of Sonology from Eduard Figueres on Vimeo.

"The sonologist moves in the field of electroacoustic music, computer music and sound art. Instead of composing with sounds, as is generally the case in instrumental music, in sonology the sound itself is composed in such a way that it gives expression to musical form. This can take place on the basis of the physical principles of sound, on the basis of perception or on the basis of purely compositional ideas.

Soulsby Synthesizers Releases the Odytron Special Edition

Soulsby Synths - Odytron Special Edition

Published on Feb 1, 2016 Soulsby Synthesizers

Also see the preview video here.

"London, UK - 01/02/16. Soulsby Synthesizers have released their much anticipated Odytron Special Edition today. The Odytron is a limited edition of their Atmegatron 8-bit MIDI synth module. It comes pre-loaded with the brand new Odytron software and factory presets, as well as having unique Odytron paintwork. Only 150 units have been manufactured.

The Odytron is £225 inc VAT (approx $339) and currently only available from their website. Shipping is available worldwide. Some retailers will be stocking it in the near future.

The Odytron software simulates the specification of a classic analogue synth but in an 8-bit environment. The result is a fascinating combination of analogue warmth and 8-bit grit. Features include: 2 independent oscillators (duophonic), 2 filter algorithms + bypass, 2 envelopes, LFO, ring mod, wave sync and numerous modulation methods.

Despite the sound being radically different to the original Atmegatron software, the Odytron is 100% Atmegatron compatible and comes bundled with 3 overlays and a programmer cable. This means that it is essentially 4 synths for the price of one. The overlays for the alternative synth engines are: Atmegatron (the classic software), Atmegadrum (drum machine) & Delayertron (delay effects synth).

Paul Soulsby, CEO of Soulsby Synthesizers: 'This software version has taken nearly a year to develop and has been a real labour of love. I was determined to see just how many classic analogue synth features could be crammed into the little Atmega micro-controller. I hope people enjoy this unique blend of synthesis.'

Existing Atmegatron owners can download the Odytron software from the website for free and can also purchase optional extras: vinyl overlay, programmer cable and instructions."

"Absolutely mint Moog Prodigy MK1, virtually no marks on the chassis and really little on the wood panels, the varnish is still glossy. This synth has been serviced a year ago and is working perfectly. it stays in tune really well too. Really great sounding Moog, the raw oscillators sound are great and full and the famous oscillator Mod screams. The 24db ladder filter is what you would expect from a vintage Moog, creamy, fat... and of course the resonance will go all the way to self oscillation."

Emerson Lake & Palmer - 'Pirates' practice


Published on Feb 1, 2016 noddyspuncture

Replicating the GX1 with various synths.

"I ran through my 'Pirates' set-up for Kev yesterday. I've been working on the piece for a few weeks - going through it, learning it and also making patches and mapping them out on the synths. It's not an easy one... I want to make it similar to the band-only performances when ELP had to drop the orchestra. It really is my favourite version where the GX-1 shines and you can hear Emo really getting to grips with the sounds. He used sounds that were very similar but with subtle differences which makes the piece for me. It should be much more satisfying that sticking with "orchestral" sounds as most people seem to do...! Anyway, I don't know it all yet so I didn't want to play it for a video... but it looks like Kev had other ideas...;)"
