EX NEW ORDER EMULATOR II For Sale?

YouTube Uploaded by adz1962 on Feb 18, 2007

"New Order live performance of 'Blue Monday' at Shinjuku Koseinenkin Hall, Tokyo, 02 May 1985. From FACT 177 - PFD (Pumped Full of Drugs)."

via this auction:
"bought 1997 from Tim Eastwood at Axis Audio Stockport from his sale of ex New Order / Suite 16 equipment from Peter Hook. This is an EX NEW ORDER EMULATOR II circa 1984 as used on tour and in the studio by New Order. see video of this keyboard here being used live by New Order playing Blue Monday Live in 1985

This Emulator was bought by me Andy Lee (Grammy Nominated producer and part of Love To Infinity) and has been in my studio since 1997 as a piece of Rock N Roll History. It was used in the new Freak Asylum Video for the single Fetish with Kelly Llorenna.

A unique opportunity to own a piece of New Order history. I have never used this Emulator as it was sold to me as not working by Tim at Axis audio. So it is sold as a piece of rock history not a working Emulator."

Korg Emx1: 80's sequence.

YouTube Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Oct 24, 2011

"New Korg Emx-1 80s sequence. The synth [part 1] was motion sequenced. After recording the synth part (arp), I then re-recorded the resonance in the filter being moved through the frequencies to give motion to the sound and make it interesting.
Random drum machine fun. :)

Roland D-50: "Neptune"- New D-50 patch by Danielle

YouTube Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Oct 24, 2011

"New D-50 patch. I programmed partials U1 and U2 to be delayed behind L1 and L2 to give the echoing back effect. No PCMs were used.
Waveforms: Square with slight PWM and a saw WF.
There is a sight modulation of L1 and L2 as well to keep the sound moving while the upper partials catch up to the lower ones.
Subtractive synthesis is too much fun. :)
Please enjoy

Roland D-50: Key contact cleaning/Velocity issue

Roland A-90: Battery explaination, cleaning and removing hammer action keys.

"HI :) TAKING ANY SYNTHESIZER APART WILL EXPOSE RISKS TO THE SYNTHESIZER AND THE USER! ALWAYS COMPLETELY UNPLUG D-50 FROM A POWER SOURCE BEFORE OPENING D-50. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR IN TAKING SYNTHS APART, DO NOT ATTEMPT. ANY REPAIR/MAINTENANCE IS AT YOUR RISK. Synthesizers are computers with circuit boards, power supplies/transformers, wires and other sensitive electronic components!.

Here is a short video about how to get to the keys of D-50, and an effective way to clean the contacts to resolve the classic D-50 velocity issue. I was asked by a few people about the velocity issue and I thought I would make a short video about what I normally do to fix my D-50. When I bought my D-50 years ago, it had velocity issues on almost every key and the paper tabs just above the sensors were dirty and no where near the white color they are now.
D-50s are just sensitive to dust when it comes to the keys and the contacts. I only removed about 6 keys for this video to save time.
So, if your D-50 is having the typical velocity levels of 127, a good cleaning with rubbing alcohol will help. If after a good cleaning doesn't solve the issue, consider taking D-50 to a tech who can troubleshoot the problem further.

Please feel free to leave questions. :)

Reactable Mobile Celebrates 1 Year Anniversary - Half Price Through Oct 27

"One year of connecting with music in a whole new way!

The Reactable concept is all about connecting with music in a whole new way, via a visual tangible interaction that is meant to enrich the experience of the performer and his audience.

When Apple put multi-touch technology in reach, there was no question that this would be a perfect fit. With the added benefit of mobility, Reactable found one more way to connect and a year ago Reactable Mobile was born.

Since its launch Reactable Mobile has reached the top positions in the musical apps category in the Appstore in all the major markets: It was not only featured as App of the week and New and noteworthy by Apple, but has positioned itself at the Top 10 Music App Worldwide and was awarded 2nd and 3rd Best Music App Ever.

Best of all, with the possibility to create and enjoy music on the go, we were able to reach thousands of people who embraced the concept and helped us to raise it to a whole new level, by creating and sharing music, posting videos and giving us great feedback.

To celebrate the first anniversary, from the 17th until the 27th of October 2011 we will offer Reactable Mobile for iOS and Android for half the price, so all those who still don’t have the app can enjoy it and become a part of the growing Reactable community.

And for all of you already enjoying the app, we have new featured content from Prime Loops and award winning DJ/producer Gui Boratto with loops specially created for this occasion."

The Circuit Molester Covers Tara Busch for The Bob Moog Foundation

This one in via The Circuit Molester

"Here is my entry for the Laura Busch remix contest that is raising money for the Bob Moog Foundation. It's mixed kind of hot so listen on bigger speakers if possible. Better yet download it and listen to it on your stereo. Am I crazy or does something from soundcloud sound better if you download it? This is my first electronic based song and I would love some tips,feedback or comments. Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago I sent my Moog Tribute Edition Little Phatty back to the factory in Asheville, NC for a factory upgrade. In addtion to updating the internal software, the good folks at Moog added some CV(control voltage) outputs to interface with older/pre midi synth gear. I'd been experimenting with CV in my DIY and circuit bent gadgets so I was excited to play around with the real deal in the Phatty.

In one of my phone conversations with the Moog factory someone mentioned that Tara Busch from AnalogSuicide.com was hosting a remix contest to help raise money for the Moog Foundation's student outreach program and as soon as I got my Phatty back I was on a mission.

My main studio was rented out for the month and since there was a deadline I pieced together a makeshift laptop studio in my dining room.

External Synths..................
Waldorf Micro Q
Moog Little Phatty
Realistic Moog Mg-1
Korg Chaos Pad
Assorted DIY/Circuitbent Noise Maker Thingys.

Soft Synths..................................
Arturia v collection
Roland Jupiter 8
Minimoog
Prophet
and Modular Moog

Oh yeah, I had never used Ableton Live before. Using a friends laptop I struggled for a week but I finally got the hang of it and got my track in 1 day before the deadline.

Someone that is used to hearing me play with Grayson Capps and the Lost Cause Minstrels might be a little suprised by the electronic nature of this song but it's still me. I've just decided to embrace my inner Circuit Molester and explore the realms of electronic music. I'm having a blast!
