"a very early concert by J.Michaelis with the first Resonator Neuronium, not enough light for digital cameras that time, so just for "the record".."

Resonator Neuronium 1 - Summing Node from Katavist on Vimeo.

"This is the first in a series of Resonator Neuronium-demos attempting to debunk some erroneous assumptions about this machine, such as the one that it only spits out uncontrollable noise and can't be used/played as an instrument. Admittedly there's always some trial and error involved, and the machine definitely has its own will - but isn't that charming?

The only sound source in these videos is the Resonator Neuronium (with additional external effects).

RESONATOR NEURONIUM SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"Synth designer Jürgen Michaelis. The Resonator Neuronium has 6 analog resonant neurons. The net parameters can be programmed by the left hand structure in form of a hexagon by use of knobs, buttons and LEDs."

Resonator Neuronium New Pre-Order Open

via Jayemsonic
"Because we get periodically inquiries on the Resonator Neuronium, we have opened a new preordering cycle until December 31, 2010. If more than 20 preorders come in until then, we at Jomox can manufacture a new run of the R.N."

Jomox Resonator Neuronium

via this auction

"The Resonator Neuronium is a unique, one of a kind electronic instrument which is the brain child of the man behind Jomox - Jürgen Michaelis. Six resonating filters work together with complex cross modulations using multiple synthesis topologies simultaneously to create sounds which are simply not available with any other device.
More information, including a PDF of the manual, is available at http://www.jayemsonic.de/2l2-resoneurotext.html

Some music and sound art composed for the Resonator Neuronium can be heard at http://www.jayemsonic.de/2l56-yogitunesold.html

This instruments palette certainly comes close to the famous Buchla 100 at times. It is *very* analogue and *very* big sounding but still completely unique.

Included with this auction:
- Resonator Neuronium
- Original 120v US-style Power Supply
- Padded aluminum case"

Jomox Sampleshop

via the Jomox Sampleshop
"We had this idea since quite some time - now it turns into reality.

Since 15 years we at Jomox build electronic sound producers. Meanwhile, some products have become history or can't be produced any more. Or they are too expensive for many musicians and keep an unreachable dream. For instance, instruments like SunSyn and Resonator Neuronium have only been produced in small quantities. Almost daily we get inquiries of people that we have to discourage because these instruments are not available any more.

In order to bring these instruments to a broader base of users and sound fetishists, we have decided to offer a sample download store. Here you can purchase high quality samples of these instruments for fair prices directly from the manufacturer.

The instruments that are used for sampling are of course in A1 condition and hand calibrated and selected, in technical and soundwise best condition - because they are build here.

The libraries will evolve and being expanded in future. Now the collection is tiny, but it will grow. There will also be loops and unusual sound bites, since individuality is our potential.

You can purchase smaller packs or even participate from sound producers or experimental synths that maybe never reach a serial production. And you don't need to purchase an expensive sampling CD with preproduced kinds of styles containing hundreds of samples only for the one special used sound.

The Jomox Sampleshop sound files are only offered for download - physical media packs with DVDs or BlueRay for shipping are not being produced.

Payment is very user-friendly with our payment provider ClickandBuy. Almost all Credit/EC-Cards or IBAN bank transfers are accepted and are perfomed via SSL secure data transactions.

After confirmed payment you are rerouted into the shop system and checked for download in your user account. The files can be downloaded for 3 days after purchase, then the download is cancelled.

We wish you lots of joy,
Jürgen Michaelis,
Jomox GmbH"

Jayemsonic Filtonium

From the maker of the Resonator Neuronium, Jürgen Michaelis.
"The Filtonium came up by the idea to make again a "real" musical instrument without Midi and without keys or buttons. The soundproduction actually consists from a filter (which gave it the name), which can be excited by various kinds and thus serves as an oscillator, filter and VCA in one thing.

Three of these filters make the Filtonium a trichord, each of which can be played in tonal with the fingers on those metal sticks (sliders) similar to a string of a violin. There is no frets or quantisation! It's up to be played...

The excitation can be played by pressure and velocity sensitive pads on the corpus with three fingers of the right hand.

You can also use the bow function with the middle short slider to bow the filters like a violin string. Herewith, innumerable many shades of musical attacks are possible.

The three knobs adjust the resonance begin, the cross modulation of all three filters and the main volume. Because they don't have to be tweaked that much, they are placed at a less prominent location on the corpus.

The three "string" slider can be tuned individually by the fine trimmers at the end of the neck. Thus, open tunings, unisono, but also classic guitar(4th) or violin (5th) tunings ar possible.

Each slider has an interval of an octave.

The tonal scaling across the way of the slider is "linear" or hyperbolic (1/x) as for a real string instrument, because it is determined by quotients. The whole way is an octave, two thirds a 5th, a quart is a 4th, one third a -3rd etc.

So, to get tonal intervals, one has to play "logarithmic" scales like on the fret grid of a guitar (always the shorter to the corpus). All musicians playing string instruments are very familiar to playing like this, and an intervalwise linear grid (piano) would cause more difficulties and confusion.

With this, the typical exponentializing of the control voltage (like Volt/Octave) is not neccessary and would not cause further inaccuracys and temperature drifts like with normal synth VCOs.

The idea came in 1997, during talks with industrial designer Frank Dellen about the finish designs of AirBase99 and SunSyn. He took my conception and made a design and ergonomic study at the university GH Essen during his his study.

Now he gave me the model with his kind permission, to let this nice concept just be published and not forgotten in our minds."

NAMM: NAMM 2009 - Evolution of a Neuronium patch

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Here is Jürgen Michaelis at the Big City Music booth on Friday at NAMM. Jürgen is the man behind Jomox, the analogue synth & drum machine manufacturer.

Jürgen originally created the Resonator Neuronium as an "art" project, but ended up building several dozen more for others. It became apparent that other open-minded musicians appreciate his very unique form of art. We surely do!

Neurotica

via David Kronemyer where you will find a link to the track.

"Here is a song I recorded at a colleague’s studio entitled “Neurotica.” It showcases the fabulous Resonator Neuronium designed by Jürgen Michaelis. It was all sequenced in real time except the bass part which I overdubbed later. The Neuronium comes in at bar 13 after the synth intro. Length is 1:50 so it won’t take that long to become intrigued by the possibilities presented by this unique device."

"after omegaattraktors very nice clips, here's my contribution. the text and the illustration at the end is taken from the jayemsonic website. in case you wonder why the hell no one's tweaking knobs for longer periods of time, that is because of the mutations happening inside the synth, i.e. the machine is playing itself... thanks and full respect to juergen michaelis who built this wonderful instrument!"
