I aksed Suit & Tie Guy what was left of the 909: "ha. a craptastic behringer submixer used to sum the 101 and 303 and overdrive the fuck out of them. i mean, his name _is_ Distortech, right?
I'm a bit amused with the video because it's like, this is where real rave is at now: a small party at someone's studio with some cheap disco lights from Target.
so on one hand it's kind of silly because we have these crappy lights and it's quite obviously a project studio in an ancient storefront but on the other hand it's really cool because we're having a blast just like it was 91 and the hoover just hit us or something.
that night i heard some of the most bizarre heterodyning coming outta that tiny little mixer. the 101 and 303 may or may not have had any kind of tuning relevance to one another, which definitely contributed to the effect."
Shot pulled from this auction. Note it is different than this one, although the video in the auction is the same. Also note that the Soundbeam logo is the same as the logo in these updated Soundbeams. If you know more about this, feel free to comment.
According to the EMS History page the Soundbeam was designed by Richard Monkhouse (Digital & Video design:1972 - 1975), however it was not manufactured until after Edward Williams took over EMS assests in 1984. According the site EMS (London) folded in 1979, their assets were bought by Datanomics who owned them from 1980 to 1984, followed by Edward Williams when the Soundbeam was made.
