Cantique de Noël / O Holy Night (Keyboards and Therevox version)

video upload by Benjamin Dehli

"A synthesizer / keyboard version of the Christmas carol Cantique de Noël / O Holy Night by Adolphe Adam. For the vocal melody I used a Therevox ET-4.3.

This version is inspired by the recordings and live performances of Bing Crosby, Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, but perhaps most of all Céline Dion (especially the vocal melody).

One of my favorite tracks from the 70s.
I`m Not In Love by 10CC from the album The Original Soundtrack (1975)
Written by the band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman

Featured the Yamaha Reface CP with phase shifter, Roland M-VS-1, Logan Vocalist for human choir sounds, E-MU Emax SE additional choir sounds and Moog Minimoog for the bass and bassdrum

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.

My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

"Logan String Melody II. Could do with a bit of a polish externally, but everything works except what I assume is the volume control knob, which has no effect - maybe it’s been bypassed. Ideal for all remaking all those 1970s Italian film soundtracks - good for everything from soaring high melodies to full on cheese. Classic string machine. VEMIA can collect and pack: 24GBP."

Note the Vermona Graphic Equalizer on top. The listing is for the String Melody II only.

"Power supply recapped, 3 prong cord attached, refurbished by the magicians at Bell Tone Synth Works in 2022. This synth is ready for another few decades of lush stringing.

This is a classic string synth like the ARP Solina, but with more features.

The keyboard is split in the middle so that you can have a different mixture of Cello, Viola, and Violin and different Attack and Sustain settings for each section. There is also a bass oscillator and a feature called “perc” which is a deep, percussive sound similar to an upright bass.

This Logan String Melody II is in good cosmetic condition. The tolex is a bit worn, but is in overall great shape. The Veneer has a few splits or cracks. There is some minor dirt and scratches, as to be expected with a 40-year-old synth!"

Logan String Melody II SN 4649

"This is a very unique piece.
Is perfectly working comes with original case and it’s in perfect conditions.
No stretches no marks.

The Logan String Melody designed by Ing. Giuliano Costantini for Logan was a portable keyboard produced in two versions from 1973 to 1982. Manufactured in Italy, it was sold under both the Logan brand name and re-badged as both a Hohner and Vox product. The Vox version was called The String Thing but still featured the Logan brand name on the back of the case.

The keyboard consists of four octaves split into two nearly equal sized ranges. In each of these ranges a combination of three string sounds can be mixed using faders labelled Cello, Viola and Violin. Each string sound is pitched one octave apart. In addition to the separate sets of faders for the string sounds, each range has a sustain and release fader. The lower range also features a simple monophonic synthesiser that is controlled from using faders labelled Bass and Perc.

On the first version, there is a button labelled Orchestra that has hard wired settings and disables the faders for the string sounds. The second version, the String Melody II introduced in 1977, added more buttons for further hard wired settings."

"This is a vintage string machine, around 50 years old, so be realistic about its technical condition and its appearance.

Known issues:
* High noise floor.
*One key sticks on full sustain.
*The "Orchestra" button does not stick when pressed in.
* The wooden top cover that (when opened) expose the electronics are missing a screw.

It needs some service to perform as new but it also works as is. Plug n play."
