Published on Sep 18, 2015 Redmartian

Red Martian is having their album release event at the Seattle Living Computer Museum this Saturday. You might remember their recent performance there where they covered Kraftwerk. The track above was composed on Ichabod when Stephen Jones of Red Martian was helping George Mattson test Ichabod during its construction. Note Ichabod will not be at the event as it currently resides with Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins, but you are sure to see a great live performance with synths.

PS SN 0981009

"One of the last and rarest keyboards from the South Florida Keyboard Collectors Estate Sale

Only 8 of these were ever made [see the update below], it is the rarest of the rare and its safe to say you will probably not see another one of these on ebay ever

Unit powers up but keyboard not functioning properly, the same note sounds for all the keys played"

Update: word is this is likely the late Mel Morley's (aka midimel's) Syntar. Also, there were more than 8 made. There was 15, 12 were completed and 3 made their way into the Mattson EML system.

"The tile for this was inspired by a thread on Gearslutz where it was proposed that pretty much all modular synth demo videos are random, noisy and non-musical garbage created with minimal effort by no talent slobs, more or less! ;-) Since this video fits well withing that paradigm . . . . ."

Synthrotek MST Dual Envelope Module Stereo Ping Pong Eurorack Demo

Published on Apr 7, 2015 synthrotek

"http://www.synthrotek.com/products/ms...
The MST Dual Envelope is a simple to use yet complex dual envelope generator. Channels 1 and 2 are both normalled to each other to cycle when the other respective channel hits end of cycle, allowing for really interesting ping-pong effects. Each channel also has an end-of-cycle trigger output with LED indicator. There’s a normal and inverted envelope out. The inverted envelope out can be further modified by the +5 offset switch, which allows the inverted waveform to travel in the positive. The + output level allows the envelope signal to go between zero and the maximum voltage rail. Attenuate the output level down for a more subtle envelope (adjust to taste).

Features:

Two self-completing envelope circuits

AD or ASR selector switch per channel

Manual Attack control & Decay/Release

Output level per channel

Gate input

End-of-cycle trigger output with LED indicator

Normal & Inverted envelope output per channel

Short and long envelope length switch per channel

Long setting can be lengthened with jumper select

AD/ASR selection switch per channel

Inverted output +5 offset switch per channel

Specifications:

Current draw: V+ max 10mA, V- max 8mA

Width: 12HP"
