OB-6: Wagner: Elegy (WWV 93)

Published on Sep 13, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Wagner's beautiful, languid 'Elegy', here performed on the OB-6. Very reminiscent of "Tristan & Isolde", Wagner's harmonic masterpiece (Tristan is possibly the greatest development of harmony of the entirety of 19th century composition).

If playing this piece on piano, I'd change chords quicker. But on the OB-6, I'm simply enjoying the sound. The little bell-like sounds: these are the product of the ring modulation.

The piece is trickier to play on OB-6 than on piano, due to the limited voices of the OB-6. A good stretch is also required (i.e at c.1:00 the LH is stretching a minor 10th, and at c.1:22 there's a minor 10th in the RH).

Getting very classical of late. Next video will be more typically 'synth' in style.

All best
Kris"

Moog Matriarch With Eurorack Drums, Extra Oscillator And Modulation

Published on Sep 13, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Moog's Matriarch synthesizer sounds great on its own with its four oscillators and stereo filter and delay, but it also has a ton of CV and gate inputs and outputs making it easy to expand with a eurorack modular system. In this video we added a eurorack wavetable oscillator to the Matriarch, synched a drum sequencer to the internal sequencer, and modulated the filter with a Maths.

The eurorack wavetable oscillator we used was an Industrial Music Electronics Piston Honda MK3. The Drums consisted of a Winter Modular Eloquencer sequencer and Endorphin.es BLCK_NOIR drum synthesizer. The Make Noise Maths was used for modulation.

ULT SOUND DS-4 CUSTOM Vintage Drum Synth SN 970515

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

via this auction

"OPTIONAL MODIFICATION: During service we can also modify the unit with separate outputs for each channel. This will be via the DIN socket on the rear (so no extra holes are drilled) and we will supply a trailing lead with four 1/4″ jack sockets. The price for this will be £120+VAT. Let us know once you have bought the unit and we can send a paypal request for the extra amount.

The Toyo Gakki DS-4 comes in a black variant and this colourful one, but it is only this model that has the extra functionality. Most famously used by Yellow Magic Orchestra, we’ve said a lot about our love for these in the past (maybe too much as they’ve become even harder to get hold of, but damn they are good!).

VOLTAGE: These will run very well with a standard Electro-Harmonix pedal PSU (they say they require 15v but there is no issue with the higher voltage). If you don’t have the correct supply please ask and we may have one for your country or can send a link.

In excellent cosmetic condition with only minor scuffs and dings scattered across the face. There are no signs of oxidation to any of the metal surfaces. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition."

"First synthesizer Yamaha ever produced in early seventies. Fantastic sounding VCO preset monophonic with 12dB analogue filter and controls of cutoff, resonance, PWM and aftertouch. These filters are early types used in mythical GX series unlike later, CS series. This synth is in nearly mint condition with original dust cover and manuals. All switches, keys and pots are smooth and working flawless. There are chips above the preset tab and on the right side to remind you that this is 40+years old synth despite the fact it looks amazing. And that's about it. The best example of first Yamaha's synth you can come across. 220V version."

Published on Sep 13, 2019 zack dagoba

"I managed to get the Buchla MARF to play nicely with the Moog Modular. It took a bit of wrangling, mainly by processing the CV out of the MARF to go from 1.2v per octave to the 1v that the Moog needs. I know that it is possible to set the MARF to 1 volt per octave from the back of the unit with some tiny switches, but I would normally be using it with other Buchla modules so I did the voltage scaling with a Moog mixer instead, then used the Dotcom Quantizer. Hopefully you can work out the patch from the video"

Knobcon 2019: Conductive Labs MRCC - MIDI Router Control Centre

Published on Sep 13, 2019 sonicstate

"It is funnny how things go in circles, if you had said that a MIDI router would be an interesting new product in 2019 we probably wouldn't have believed you. However with more and more devices without MIDI thru ports and with different types of MIDI on 3.5MM jacks something like the Conductive Labs MRCC is starting to look very promising.

The workflow of a device like this needs to be simple and effective. The MRCC looks like it covers all those bases. In this video you can see how easy it is to make new MIDI routing options. You can support this project on their kickstarter now."
