Guitar Through an EMS Synthi AKS

Title link takes you to an 18.8M mp3 of a guitar running through an EMS Synthi AKS, via deb7680 of Chroniques de la Mao.

In via the comments section of this post:
"Harghh, I remember when I inject my guitar into my Ems Synthi Aks just for youn this is recorded in live in 1981 (guitar in Ems with ring modulation and RSF and other synth...)"

The Synthi shot to the left is from this post on Chroniques de la Mao. I wonder if this is the same Synthi used in the mp3.

BTW, this is a great showcase of the Synthi. Thanks deb7680!

Update via deb7680 in the comments:
"Thanks Matrixsynth. For you question, the Ems Synthi Aks it's the same. Here, other picture many "machines" in 1981 : www.deb7680.com/photosblog/matos200.jpg

And another sample:
"A voice passed in my Ems Synthi Aks while JP plays a psychedelic melody. Recorded at the time of the same concert of HplanK as "Images Mouvantes" in 1981.

Clap Trap Fap

This one via Loscha, via this auction.

"Music Aid (Simmons) Claptrap

Super rare and highly collectable. 100% analogue circuitry!

This was made sometime in the 1970s by the company that was to become Simmons (famous for their digital percussion instruments).

I have never actually seen another one of these, and certainly not on ebay. I think Mouse on Mars have one.

Can be triggered from just about anything (see rear panel). I was triggering it from a TR-808 and MPC 3000 no problems.

Please note: it does not do 'realistic' handclaps. It is an analogue machine, so if freaky analogue percussive noises are your bag then this is the box for you. It is capable of all maner of classic Rolandesque snares, crashes etc aswell."

Title of post also curteousy of Loscha. Thanks Loscha!

Bob Cash's Keyboards and Synthesizers

Bob actually sent me an email to let me know he put up some super hi resolution shots of the Oxford Synthesizer Company's OSCar. He said these are "most-likely these pictures are the best most folks will ever get to see of an OSCar." Yep... I think he might be right. These are really nice shots. Title link takes you there, including more shots of his studio and bigger shot of the one in this post. Thanks Bob!

EMS Synthi Hi-Fli Guitar Synth

Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction. Details:

"Legendary and very rare guitar synthesiser, designed by David Cockerell, and launched in 1973. As used by David Gilmour, Steve Hackett, Pete Cosey, and Chemical Brothers, to name a few. Serviced by EMS in Cornwall in 2004, when they fitted the envelope bypass modification. Unfortunately the stand is long gone, but the unit is in good condition (considering it’s age), and full working order. Took me a year to come round to the idea of selling it, but I don’t use it anymore, and this unit doesn’t deserve to end up gathering dust on a shelf. Please contact me if you’ve got any questions."
