Suzanne Ciani on 3-2-1 Contact

YouTube via magneticring. Sent my way via gerald.

Remember this post? Looks like someone finally put it up on YouTube.

Oberheim OB-X, Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Buchla

Note: the original YouTube vid has the title as "Suzanna Ciani on 3-2-1 Contact" I usually do not change titles others create, but in this case it was leading to some confusion in the comments so I went ahead and corrected it in the title of this post. The video on YouTube still has Suzanna as of this note as I have no control over that.

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you momma for having me. : ) And thank you to all the other good momma's out there. Title link takes you 2A03 M0M EP, a chiptune mother's day album. Cool tattoo.

Oberheim DX Stretch

via this auction.
Details:
"The DX Programmable Digital Drum Machine from Oberheim fills the professional musician's need for an afford able. easy to use, state- of- the- art drum computer. Based upon the modular Oberheim DMX Drum Machine, the DX offers the sound and features of the DMX in a less expensive, more integrated package . The DX is not a drum synthesizer; it is a complex microcomputer system programmed with digital studio recordings of real drums. It doesn't sound like a rhythm box. it sounds like a drummer. Not only does the DX sound like a drummer, it can play like a real drum mer; with rolls, flams, odd time signatures, uneven phrases, changing tempos, or even off the beat. Up to 2200 notes can be stored in the DX, recorded in any of 100 Sequences of any length or time signature. Drum sequences can be recorded in real time or one note at a time. Any of the 18 individual drums (including crash cymbal) or individual notes can be recorded, erased, and then re-recorded until the drum beat is exactly right. The sequences can be combined to form up to 50 songs. Each song can contain up to 255 sequences, arranged in any order, to form a complete composition. Tempo and Time Signature are programmable for each sequence, and with the DX's extensive editing capability, a song's structure can be changed quickly and easily. The DX has several Quantize modes, which correct your rhythm to any beat between l/4 notes and 1/32 note triplets, or turn the Quantize off for the human feel. In addition, there is a Swing mode which will give rhythms the uneven feel that is used so often in jazz and other music.

There are individual tuning controls for each voice on the rear panel and each of the six DX voices has its own output. so you can record them on separate tracks. or EQ them separately. There is also a 7 input stereo mixer to allow you to mix all of the drums into the stereo and mono outputs. The DX can run in synchronization with the Oberheim DSX Digital Polyphonic Sequencer and the other components of the Oberheim Music System as well as other sequencers. There is a programmable external trigger, so you can control the DX with sequencers, synthesizers. or even a drum kit. A battery maintains power to the memory when the DX is turned off. so that you don t lose your sequences when you turn off power. A cassette interface is provided which enables quick changes of all of the sequences and permanent data storage. original list price $1395.00

STRETCH expander for Oberheim DX drum machines. The Stretch adds the two things DX owners want most of all: more sounds and more features for older model DX drum machines. For those DX machines, features are added like variable clock, auto start, cue tempo, midi clock out & more. Each Stretch voice has its own buttons, tuning, output jack and level control for the mixed output of the DX. Zif sockets are included to make it easier to add new sounds, containing chip locations for 4 more rows. original list price $495.00"

More Synths in Second Life

Via Dreamaiden in the comments of this Create Digital Music post:

"Photos are take of the front, sides, and back. These have to be positioned just right, for example, the front has to be straight up and down exactly. The photos are then saved as .bmp or .jpg files and uploaded into SL where they become 'textures.' Then, 'prims' are created. Think of these as 3D physical MB. Like other 3D modeling programs you can create 3D shapes such as a box or ball. In this case, you create prims that are the shapes of the parts of the synth. Then you simply put the texture on the various parts and get it just right. Finally, you link them all together and violá, you have a synth. I recently had someone create the keyboards in my studio - the Andromeda, Karma, and Virus. You can see them on this page.

You are right. There are now various music stores that have lots of synths in them and more are springing up all the time. In fact, complete music studios complete with with sound are there too, some quite sophisticated.

Synth Wiki on Sequencer.de and The First Synth To...

Remember this post on the first synths to introduce something new? In the comments, the world of next tuesday suggested putting it in a wiki. I agreed and said I'd eventually do it. My main concern was putting it on a wiki that made sense and wasn't going anywhere soon. I thought of Wikipedia, but that didn't make sense as there isn't really a unified Synth section, Synth Wiki ended up getting overwritten with spam, and I did not want to start up my own wiki. I then remembered Moogulator of sequencer.de set up a bi-lingual synth wiki in German and English. I asked Moogulator about putting up the synth list. He set up an account for me and it's up. Title link takes you to the new home for the list, however obviously check out the rest of the wiki for more info on synths. You can join and add as well as edit content. If you want to add to the list of The First Synths To... but do not want to join the wiki, my original post will stay up. Feel free to comment there and I will update both my post and the wiki, however the wiki will become the uber list as updates to the wiki will most likely not make it back to my post. That would be too much work for me to maintain and the wiki really is a better home for the list. I will update my old post with a link to the wiki article and I'll add a link to the wiki on the right of my site so you know how to get there any time. Thanks Moogulator!
