Therevox and Sci-Fi

Published on Apr 27, 2019 Miguel d'Oliveira

"First day with the Therevox and I can't think of better stuff to test it than a couple of my favourite sci fi score snippets.
The dog loved it.
The last one has a Big Muff (so to speak) on the FX loop

ET - John Williams
Star Trek - Alexander Courage
Space 1999 - Barry Gray"

Admin: Synth Cats, Dogs, Birds and Lizards

Important news. I created new labels for Cats, Dogs, Birds and Lizards so they are more in line with the current Synth labels. Each will now be preceded by Synth, so Synth Cats, Synth Dogs, etc.. I'll leave the old labels for old posts for anyone linking to them and just add the new ones. I do have labels for cow and horse, and of course there's lemur, but Lenny seems to be dominating there, and cow and horse only have two posts each, so I'll leave them as is for now. Only on MATRIXSYNTH...

"Whilst 35,000 athletes were running the 2009 London Marathon, our 2 little miniature dachshunds, Harry and Kim, were running around the garden, just south of London. Having a GREAT time. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and ears were flapping. They slept well that night."

"this is a quick song i did with just the vermona perfourmer and drm1 sequenced with numerology. Two stereo tracks, one take, nothing too exciting but a good example of the two units together. The video is the security camera outside of our studio....its just the images speed up over two days. there is some of the new puppy tossing and turning in his cage for a couple of hours too."

RIP Cowboy

I just did my YouTube run and my heart sank when I found the following two videos. There are very few things that hit more than losing someone you love - person or pet. Pets have your back unconditionally, it's as if their sole purpose in life is to love you and let you know how much of a hero you are to them. My sincerest condolences go out to VoiceEncoder. We can tell that you treated him well, vocoder lectures and all. Cowboy was one lucky dog.

KORG Poly-800 and Roland SVC-350

Be sure to see these posts featuring Cowboy as well as this one that inspired Red Martion to do the following track on Cowboy featuring the Mattson Mini Modular:

Note this is via redmartian and not AnalogVocoder1 (click for the reference).
"A song written for a dog who likes to listen to the sound the Roland SVC-350 vocoder. This song features the MMM as well as a Sequential Circuits Drum Traks and a Roland Jupiter-6.

Here are the lyrics:

Do you know Cowboy
and the SVC-350?
Do you know Cowboy
and the Roland Vocoder?

Hey there Cowboy
I see you there
Lazy gazing
Gazing lazy
Whos my sweet boy?
You know its you.
I like to vocode and you do too.

No Poly-800 to drive the SVC
So I use an MMM as my carrier wave
No Poly-800 but Cowboy doesn't mind.
We all know its the Roland SVC-350 vocoder time.
