Korg MS-04 Modulation Pedal

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Edward Jones



via this eBay listing

Pics of the inside below.

"For sale we have the very rare Korg MS-04!

These don’t come up for sale very often.

This is a modulation expression pedal.

It features an LFO (Triangle or Square), a noise generator, and a "bender" type control voltage output, controlled by this sturdy foot switch.

The pedal controls the magnitude of the CV output of the LFO, not the frequency of the LFO.

There is an upward facing LED on the pedal body that shows you the speed of the LFO.

This is in honest to goodness as new condition. The internal date stamp indicated manufacture to be the 6th week of 1980 (which matches the manufacturing period).

There is some light dust on the pedal after being in storage for 20 years, and I haven't cleaned it off. The only blemish is on the front plate indicating model number, where a price tag was placed in the late 1990s when it was purchased by the current owner. I haven't attempted to de-goo it.

One side appears to still have the original protective plastic on it.

All components are original! The tested capacitors have held their values, and the pots were all clean. It has been stored with no batteries inside, and the battery bay, as you can see, is clean as a whistle."

weird reface DX sounds - ultra low tunings make clicks


video upload by Edward Jones

"I open with a little bit of a tribute to a well known song which I will not name.
I mean, um, a pattern of either notes followed by a pattern of 32nd notes.
PHEW.}}}} Almost got a little crazy there!!!

Then I run some lo frequency clicks into the effects units.

I don't have my audio interface with me, so I couldn't do a line recording.
Reface has a USB connection, but it's just for MIDI note and Data backup purposes.
Yamaha deigned not to provide us with Audio over USB, even though it would have cost them pennies to do so.

I intend to do that as I want to show an examination of the Feedback waveforms, and how they're not quite the same as other FM Feedback waveforms.
It certainly doesn't have that instability that the FB-01 has when you solo Operator 4 in feedback mode."

Loscha Plays - Artec "Octave Drive" SE-OCT OTA Boss OC-2 style circuit with added DIRTY DRIVE mode.


video upload by Edward Jones

Wait for it.

"I forgot to adjust the tiny trimmer inside the unit! D'Oh!
Upon reflection, it is probably a drive control, as the knob on front panel just adds in the volume of the distorted sound, not the quality of the distortion."

Interesting device. Could benefit with individual buttons to flip between presets as well as knobs for the rest.

A search for Tanpura and/or Tambura on the top right will bring up others.

Burford Reefer "Coral Sitar" Emulator (really a Green Ringer) on a Casio AT-40 Arabic Keyboard


video upload by Edward Jones

"The rectifying octave up of the Green Ringer style circuit sounds frankly amazing on the analogue sine-based drum tones that the drums on AT-40. We were not expecting it to sound so cool. We were in "Flavour Country".

If you want this sound on your own tracks, I highly recommend 'Gringer' by Chris from Airwindows. He's made a model of the rectifying part of the circuit. To get the full 'Reefer' experience, place a warm overdrive on the way into Gringer to emulate the first stage of the Reefer pedal.

Loscha Opens up a Pollard Syndrum Quad!


video upload by Edward Jones

"This is going to be a long restoration!

The drum triggers go into the unit on a five pin Latched XLR, not a DIN as I said in the video.

The power supply is in an external box that has a mains transformer, and a voltage regulator, only to have it regulated again inside.
twice.

The MM5837 appears to be a no gp (I have a spare) but the real issue is that the faders and switches are all corroded and jumpy.

I did end up taking the panel board off, and the faders seem to be like the contemporary ARP kind. Plastic body, moving wiper body."

Rare Novation MidiCon - The Prototype for the MM10! Which later turned into the Bass Station


video upload by Edward Jones

"This is the MidiCon -- a controller keyboard that 'never went into production'. However, I am here in Melbourne, and I have one.
This turned into the MM10, the controller for the Yamaha QY10 and QY20.
The same chassis turned into the Bass Station.

A very rare controller keyboard pre-dated the MM10, which begat the BassStation.
The main CPU has custom markings!

One was up for sale back in October, 2021. That's the only other Novation MidiCon post featured on the site.

Loscha presses Play: Yamaha PSS-270 Demo 𝓑𝓲𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓙𝓸𝓮𝓵 𝓙𝓾𝓼𝓽 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓦𝓪𝔂 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓐𝓻𝓮 has VERY weird instruments


video upload by Edward Jones

"The Yamaha PSS-270 is from the FM Synthesis line of keyboards.
The audio generation is handled by the YM2413 OPLL chip.
The OPLL is very well documented. Please look here for more information - https://www.smspower.org/Development/...
This chip has direct audio out, no DAC required.
One output is the Main voice out, and the other is the Percussion out.
On this unit, the Percussion and Main are both routed through the chorus unit. The chrous is MN3102 and MN3206, controlled by a fixed LFO. There is no feedback on the chorus. This could be added for a much more flangier effect."

Dave Smith Instruments "In the Spotlight with the Tempest" with Bear’s Den

The 3rd in the Dave Smith Instruments' "In The Spotlight with the Tempest" series is currently up with BEAR’S DEN here.

"Inspired by, among other things, the paintings of Edward Hopper, the short stories of Raymond Carver, and film director Robert Altman’s Short Cuts, Bear’s Den is both erudite and intensely personal, defying trends and easy labelling. Musically, it also sees a startling progression. Following the amicable departure of guitarist Joey Haynes they are now a six piece touring unit built around a nucleus of Andrew Davie and multi-instrumentalist Kev Jones. While the band’s folk roots are still evident, they now come cloaked in the lush alchemy of ‘70’s and ‘80’s FM rock: Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, and in particular, the nocturnal ambience of Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness On The Edge Of Town, alongside more contemporary artists such as The National, and Sufjan Stevens."

Loscha plays the EMS VCS3 aka "Putney"


Published on Sep 21, 2016 Edward Jones

"So, I had a crack at a Synthi a few years ago.
I had a good understanding of different synthesis methods and modulation routings, so, I was able to make some pretty neat sounds on this beast.

I don't own the synth, and the person who owned this when I played it doesn't own it any more, so don't ask.

Video recorded 3rd October 2009"
