Ernesto Romeo Reflects on His Inspirational Experience at Moogmentum in August, 2019.


moogfoundation

"Ernesto Romeo, musician, founder of Klauss, and beloved professor of electronic music, living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, reflects on his experiences at Moogmentum, the grand opening celebration of the Moogseum that took place August 13-15, 2019. Ernesto traveled from Argentina especially to attend Moogmentum, and was deeply inspired by his interactions with Herb Deutsch, Patrick Moraz, Larry Fast, and Lisa Bella Donna, as well as other guests at the three day event. You can read more about Moogmentum on the Bob Moog Foundation website: www.moogfoundation.org.

Thank you Ernesto, for making the long trip to be attend Moogmentum, and for sharing your wonderful spirit and knowledge with all of us."

E-mu Proteus | The Module EVERYONE wanted!


Espen Kraft

"The E-mu Proteus was the most hyped and eagerly awaited hi-tech music product. of 1989
This is my review of this sound module EVERYONE wanted at the end of the 80s.
High quality&24 Hours Build Time: https://www.pcbway.com/

Support this channel on Patreon:
https://www.patreon.com/espenkraft

The hype surrounding this module was surreal, and it didn't feil to deliver. To get 4 Mb of the best Emulator 3 sounds in a multi timbral box, for about $900 in 1989 was simply a bomb going off. Everyone wanted one and they sold massive.

32 voice polyphony, editable sounds, 192 presets and with an ever expanding line of revisions and enhanced version of the Proteus was hard to resist.

Some of the sounds does seem outdated today and the "original" sounds in the Emulators and Emaxes has the edge, but many of the sounds in the Proteus is highly usable if you use them with other sounds. Some of them still excel in my opinion."

Rossum Electro-Music Announces 35th Anniversary SP-1200


Rossum Electro-Music 35th Anniversary SP-1200 Renovation Published on Jan 16, 2020 Rossum Electro-Music


"This year marks the 35th anniversary of the introduction of E-mu System’s iconic 'SP' sampling percussion system, instruments that have become emblematic of the golden age of hip hop creativity. To mark this milestone, Dave Rossum (the co-founder of E-mu Systems) and the team at Rossum Electro-Music are creating an extremely limited number of 'renovated' SP-1200s.

Beginning with an original SP-1200, Dave and the team strip it down and rebuild it into a 'better-than-new' example of the classic sampling percussion system. It is then tested and calibrated to guarantee that it
provides the exact sonic character that has made the SP drum machines musical legends for 35 years (and counting).

The Rossum Electro-Music 35th Anniversary SP-1200 renovations include:

– A new 3.5″ disk drive and SD card floppy emulator integrated into the original SP-1200 software by Dave Rossum

– Manual filter cutoff frequency control sliders for the SSM 2044 analog filters for channels 1 and 2 added to the rear panel

– A new metal chassis

– A new panel overlay

– The top shell restored and painted 'SP Grey.'

– A new power supply with locking connector (and cool operation)

– A new LCD display with adjustable brightness and a selectable red, blue, or green color LED backlight

– All new play buttons

– All new programming buttons

– All new 1/4” and MIDI jacks

– All electrolytic and tantalum capacitors replaced with high-reliability ceramic or aluminum-poly caps

– All rotary potentiometers replaced with million cycle lifetime pots and installed with new knurled black metal knobs

– All slide potentiometers replaced with 200,000 cycle lifetime sliders and installed with new slider knobs

– All original trimmers replaced with 20-turn versions and precisely calibrated

– New rubber feet

– An individualized Dave Rossum signature plaque

– A dust-proof, crush-proof, lockable Pelican™ brand case with press-and pull latches, wheels, and an extendable handle.

– Full testing and calibration by Rossum Electro-Music

Availability

35th Anniversary SP-1200s are available directly from Rossum Electro-Music for US$7500.00.

Because the number of 35th Anniversary SP-1200s built will be limited by the availability of original SP-1200s, that number is likely to be extremely small. If you are interested in purchasing one, please fill out the wait list application you’ll find at the tab at the top of this page.

The 35th Anniversary SP-1200 is solely a product of Rossum Electro-Music LLC. Neither E-mu Systems nor Creative Labs participated in its production, and cannot be held responsible for this product."

– A place on the waiting list does not guarantee that you will eventually be able to purchase a 35th Anniversary SP-1200, as we have no way of knowing in advance exactly how many we will be able to produce.

UVI Vintage Vault 3 - The Ultimative Vintage Synthesizer Collection with 65 instruments


Published on Jan 10, 2020 RetroSound

"VINTAGE VAULT 3

I think many of you guys know that I work since many years together with #UVI.
So I have sampled most of my #Vintage #Synths for UVI products like OB Legacy, String Machines 2, Synth Anthology 2 and more.

Now here is the brand new Vintage Vault 3 with 65 vintage instruments and over 500.000 high quality samples.
As synth maniac since a very long time I must that high quality samples are more realistic as virtual synthesis.
All the vintage synths I show in the video and a lot more are included in Vintage Vault3.

Roland Juno-106 Analog Synthesizer (1984) Forever Young - Alphaville


Published on Dec 10, 2019 RetroSound

"(c) 2019 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

I think each one of us has a soundtrack of life, that is, certain songs that connect with formative situations in life. The first love, a moment when you were very happy or maybe even unhappy lost someone.
,
The song "Forever Young" by the German synthesizer pop group Alphaville was released in 1984. It was the band's second single. There are songs that shape one in many different ways. This one is in my personal Top5.
,
In 1989 I was lucky enough to catch an Amiga license album. In the GDR, Western music was hardly to be found. The VEB Amiga Berlin pressed few albums, which were under the counter and if, then only with relations to get. In July 1989, shortly before my 17th birthday, I was able to buy an album on the black market. This moment of happiness.
,
I wanted to cover the track, as a small tribute to this wonderful song.
In the original they used the Jupiter 8, PPG wave, Logan String Melody 2 and for the solo at the end the Arp Odyssey. I recorded everything with the Juno-106. That is also from the year 1984.;)

all synthesizer sounds: #Roland #Juno-106 Analog #Synthesizer (1984) except the aah sound is from the Emax
drums: E-MU Emax samples
recording: multi-track
fx: reverb and delay"

E-MU Systems Emulator II + SN 2126

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

via this auction

"Here is an original Emu Emulator II + (plus) with dual floppy disks (all working). As seen in Ferris Beuller's day off. Probably most famously used by Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, and so many others! Amazing digital sound mixed with analog filters. Wow!

Introduced in 1985 at a "low" price of $9995 ($23,832.97 for inflation!). It bridged the gap between the $60,000 Fairlight and Synclavier and the $1695 Mirage.

The Plus model

Everything is original and functions great across the board. Has been stored in dry, moderate temperature, smoke-free studio for many many years.

Comes with original owners manual and 20 or so disks (photo incoming), which includes original Emu disks, Northstar, copies, bootlegs, and custom made disks.

Loaded with v.3.0 software.

Cosmetically everything is in good shape with some minor scratches, but nothing major on the body. Keyboard has a broken but fixed key, and slightly cock-eyed lowest key, which has been that way in the 10+. Despite that all keys play and trigger great."
