Kraft and Alexanders Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture and Nutcracker Suite

Via Elhardt on AH:
"I want to clear up some online space, so before I pull down the mp3 files below, if you want to hear or get them, do it soon. They are from Kraft and Alexanders long out of print 1977 recording of the Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture and Nutcracker Suite, done on an Arp 2600, Arp Odyssey, and Arp Pro Soloist, therefore making them good Arp synth demos. The 1812 mp3 is some excerpts taken from the much longer recording that was too big for me to put the original online."

I grabbed them. Title link takes you there.

Electribe in action

flickr by ...Tim

What I found interesting about this shot is how the play button has six clear steps while everything else lit pretty much has two.

Update via thatboytim in the comments:
"If I remember correctly (don't own the Electribe any longer), the Play button stays on and the other LEDs flickr (do you like that?) when beats/sounds/notes are playing.

I guess this is why during the exposure the other LEDs aren't on as much."

Sysex Resource Site

I recently read that the Oberheim Matrix-6/6R supported remote control functionality. I did a quick search and came across this page. I back tracked and found the site had sysex pages on a number of synths. Title link takes you to the list. As for remote control of the Matrix-6, check out the Matrix-6 page for the full list, however I noticed this interesting bit:

"Select Quick Patch Edit
This operation selects the Quick mode of the Patch Edit function on the
M-6. The M-6 must be in Patch Edit mode in order to act upon parameter
change commands."

The Matrix-6, and 6R are notorious for not working well with external knob boxes. If you are having trouble getting one to work, you could try it in Edit mode. I think I did once and still didn't get my Matrix-6 to work, but I believe I have an old OS.
