Briand, Daddio and Metasonix

Via brian comnes:
"he [daddio] and I recorded a TM3 VCO into a TM6 filter and then into series of Moogerfoogers....we really like what the Murf did to the metasonix things, (melodic drums?) we also used the Moog Analog delay external looped into the Murf while receiving TM-2 sound bursts gated by a Korg ER-1 ...we were also getting CV from a CP251 to liven things up a bit. We also ran the TM3, no envelope, just sweeping CVs for pitch into a Moog Freqbox and couldn't get much out interesting by themselves, but when gated by the ER-1 it made for some tasty drum hits"

Studio and Modular P*rn Fest

No title link; all links below. People are posting their modular and studio shots on AH. Definitely drool worthy. I'll add to the list as they come in so be sure to check back. Below is a fantastic shot of the Waldorf Wave by Rikard. Make sure to check out this specific shot of the back of the Wave next. I didn't realize how thin their control panels were. Amazing.

"the rack is a Middle Atlantic RL10-38 with accompanying cantilever
base extension and i can't recommend it enough. it solved all my
ergonomic issues and is damn stable and quality to boot (and there's
about 8U left over!). i got mine from Sacramento Audio Supplies and
the combo was $180 plus tax & ship. after selling all the puny little
racks it replaced, i should come out ahead!"

New Tapewarm Tracks

Remember the Sunrise at Tapewarm? Title link takes you to daddio's Tapewarm page on sevcom with a few tracks and this diagram of his setup. The tracks titled in green are new. Enjoy.

Tapewarm on Sevcom

I've been listening to a bit of daddio's Tapewarm lately. Really good experimental synth music. Daddio also sent me a shot of his LEGO guitar. I'll be putting that up later as soon as I find out if it's a MIDI controller. In the mean time check out some of his music on Sevcom. BTW, daddio recommends Sevcom as a good place for artists to host a site (50M free), and it has a decent forum.




Tapewarm Kit List:
Nord rackII controlled with an expressionmate
Doepfer Modular run through a Kaoss pad
Digitar controlled Proteus2
Electribe esx1
Beat loops from Brian run through an instore Alesis stomp box demo rig.

Tapewarm Studio

I asked daddio if he had a link he wanted me to put up for this post on his modded Sequential Circuits Six-Trak. He sent me a link to his Tapewarm Studio. Nice. It's a pretty cool site with tons of groovy shots and music. Well worth checking out. Title link takes you there.

(P.S. I also noticed I had Tapewarm listed on this studio p*rn fest post, but I haven't gotten around to checking all of them out yet. Glad I ran into this again.)

Thanks daddio! Hmm... never thought I'd say that.. I'm old, but not 1950's old. ; )

Tapewarm XL7

Tapewarm Modular

A few more images:
close up
0 rear 1
0 rear 2

And a noodle:

"first thirty seconds, exp. fm input at about ~8:00
second thirty seconds, exp. fm input increased gradually to full
last thirty seconds, back to ~8:00
patch:
SoC (top row) modules triggered by lfo (second row)
0 triggered by SoC, fm input from an LFO
4 outputs of 0 (colored cables, sine triangle and two ramps) sent to VC mixer (bottom) controlled by Morph controller (bottom) so each waveform alternately takes prominence over time in the mix."

Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 and Poly Sequencer

images via this auction via AH:
"This Prophet 5, ser.#5049, was purchased directly from Sequential Circuits and has lived its whole life in a non-smoking professional recording studio environment in the SF bay area, under the protection of the original owner. Save for one or two nicks in the wood paneling, this instrument is in perfect condition. The MIDI option was installed by a Sequential design engineer. The original protective plastic facing is still intact. The hardshell case was custom built for it at the time of purchase. It too is in new condition. The rare, companion Sequential Poly-Sequencer works only with the P-5, and only when MIDI is disabled (via a switch on the back panel). Original manuals for both P5 and Poly-Sequencer are included, both in pristine condition. hear it here: http://www.tapewarm.com/Litwin_att94C.mp3 all done only with the P5 and poly-sequencer!! pretty cool, huh!!"

The MOOG Strikes Bach

One of the many MOOG albums following Switched on Bach.

via daddio of tapewarm.

Update via Suit & Tie Guy in the comments:
"that's Hans Wurman. apparently he made a follow-up album which was never released.

there were alot of records which "followed" S-OB, but as far as quality goes the only two that come close are this one and Switched-On Nashville.

S-ON is quite interesting as there's some Tomita-like vocal synthesis on "Folsum Prison Blues" which blows my mind ever time i drop the needle on that cut. if you ever come across it, digitally or on vinyl, don't hesitate to grab it.

apparenlty John Mitchell claimed to feel The Moog Strikes Bach was either peer or superior to S-OB. if you check the Synthesizers.com Yahoo! group archive you should find some posts regarding this."

San Fransisco's Wave Organ

"At the eastern edge of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, a tiny spit of land juts into the bay. If you walk out to the end, you can see San Francisco's skyline on one side and the Golden Gate Bridge on the other.

The view alone is worth a journey, but the little peninsula offers more than scenery. It's also the home of a San Francisco wonder, the Wave Organ."

"And the sound? It's like listening to the world's largest sea shell. It's like distant drums, muffled cymbals, quiet thunder. The variety is endless, and the sounds of the pipes are punctuated by the cries of gulls and the barks of sea lions. The sounds of ships' horns drift across the bay, and little waves slap against the stones."

KORG DSS-1 Sample

Title link takes you to a KORG DSS-1 track - "Don't know yet." It was performed by Henry and mixed by daddio of tapewarm. There are some very interesting textures. The DSS-1 always fascinated me. You could draw your own waveforms on in by adjusting a slider over time. I remember playing with one once and was fascinated by the waveforms I could come up with. It's also said to have the best filter.

These things are scary together...

Bad Shipping

via daddio of tapewarm:

"I received this in the mail today. And this is after I pulled the dent out some. Inside are my 2 new Doepfer modules, A149-1 and A149-2, the Source of Uncertainty Suite. Thankfully the shipper had wrapped the modules in bubble wrap and filled the box with styro peanuts so no damage was sustained. Had they been packed with wrinkled up newspaper as is too often the case, I doubt they would have survived the impact." "you might consider this as a public service announcement."
