New York School of Synthesis - Mugs & More…



Avialable Here

BTW, if you somehow haven't heard of The New York School of Synthesis video series, see this post. You can find a series on the DX7 posted here.

via the Dean Friedman email list:

"Hey Folks,
Dean Friedman here with a friendly suggestion: if you're finding it a challenge to stay up for those all-night synth sessions, our New York School of Synthesis Coffee Mugs (filled with your favorite java, tea or other stimulating beverage) is the ideal solution for modulating those waveforms, oscillators and envelopes and tweaking those filters into shape.

And, of course, we've got plenty of New York School of Synthesis T-Shirts in stock, in both classic white and night-owl black. These classic T's are the epitome of synth fashion. Wearing your NYSS T-shirt out in public will show that you have your finger on the popular pulse wave of the bleeding edge of synth culture. (note: I have no idea what that actually means). Plus they're cool!

Enjoy your holidays and keep making cool sounds!

Dean Friedman
New York School of Synthesis"

DX5 Depeche Mode 101 anniversary: Some songs played live without rehearsal.


video upload by DX5

Also see the extended video of Depeche Mode at the Rainbow Club in 1982 added to this post.

(04:03 Talk starts)
19:39 "Pimpf"
21:50 "Behind the Wheel"
31:36 "Strangelove", 38:55 "Sacred"
45:27 "Stripped", 52:30 "Somebody"
57:04 "The Things you Said"
1:04:58 "Black Celebration"
1:11:49 "Shake the Disease"
1:21:03 "A Question of Time"
1:27:45 "Never Let me Down Again"
1:39:41 "Just Can't Get Enough"
1:43:49 "Everything Counts".

"(Note: These are some of the songs played originally in Pasadena Rose Bowl, not the whole setlist).
It was 7 pm in Spain when I realized it is Depeche Mode 101 anniversary. Then, I quickly set something: a live streaming playing some songs from that gig. No time to rehearsal or prepare anything; just practised a few times some song and this is what we got.

Thanks everyone joining the chat. It was fun to share this with you!."

He is the leading Sequential Circuits repair specialist on the entire west coast of North America and a quick google search will show how many people have praised his work.

OFFICIAL 80s SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS & ARP SYNTHESIZER TOUR JACKETS

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


via Tone Tweakers on eBay, and Reverb

"Here's a incredibly rare piece of Sequential Circuits memorabilia that we've never seen offered for sale anywhere. We got this a while ago from someone who worked for Sequential Circuits back in the day.

This item is unused, new old stock (!).

We googled this to see if we could find any reference to it and we couldn't, so we suspect they made very very few of them. Over 40 years later, we imagine most of them are long gone, and any surviving examples, if there are any, would be in poor condition.

As of writing this, we have 2 others available (search our website for jacket). We realize our asking price may seem quite high for a jacket, but, as mentioned, these jackets are pieces of vintage synth memorabilia and are the only ones of their kind we've ever seen in decades, and we've seen it all. Plus, there are some very serious collectors out there, and this is quite an interesting piece. If it doesn't sell soon, we may gradually lower the price, so if you're interested but don't want to pay our asking price, please let us know."

EDP Wasp 25-Key Analog Synthesizer w/ T-Shirt & Manual/l=Leaflet

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


via this auction

"A rare and quirky machine for sure. Esoteric, sought-after (now!) and very much its own thing.This unit is in almost MINT condition. The distinctive design has helped make this a classic...dual oscillation and capacitive membrane keyboard! The sounds are a bit mad once you get your head around the operation. Works off 'C' batteries or a dc supply (9volt 1amp recommended)(I did have a psu but had to use it for another machine). Just come back from service by Kent Spong (keyboard tech genius). If you want a collectable - and/or some really interesting sounds to play - this is it. Comes with user manual/leaflet and a t-shirt!"

Yamaha YC Stage Keyboard - Live Event for Kraft Music


video upload by Kraft Music

"Find exclusive Yamaha YC BUNDLES at Kraft Music: https://www.kraftmusic.com/brands/yam...

Blake Angelos from Yamaha Shares a livestream with Kraft Music to showcase the Yamaha YC Series Stage Keyboards.

Yamaha YC organ-focused stage keyboards give gigging keyboardists iconic and expressive touch, tone, and real-time control in a modern instrument. Yamaha's VCM organ engine provides classic tonewheel organ character by modeling individual components right down to the transistors and resistors, while physical drawbars, a waterfall keyboard, and intuitive controls allow for more jamming with less programming. With a four-zone master keyboard mode, nine effects processors, onboard acoustic and electro-mechanical pianos, DX-derived FM synth and electric piano sounds, strings, brass, and more, YC keyboards can be the perfect top keyboard for any rig – or the entire rig!

YC61 features 61 semi-weighted "waterfall" keys for organ-focused players, YC73 has 73 weighted and balanced keys for keyboardists, and YC88 uses an 88-key weighted triple-sensor action with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops for pianists.

Get more for your money with an exclusive Yamaha YC stage keyboard and organ bundle from Kraft Music. These package deals include the accessories you'll need to get the most out of your new performance keyboard, all for one low price. If you have any questions, please contact us. Our knowledgeable sales advisors will be happy to assist in choosing the bundle that's right for you!"
