Running out of Space

"I am so jealous of everyone’s space. My room is way too small. What's next for me? Guess I have to nail my synths to the ceiling…"
Hmm... A modular ceiling...
Have fun spotting the synths.


Goldsmith's College - The old Control Room

Sci-Fi Guys

OK, first off I am stretching this one a little on synth content so consider yourself warned. Dave, creator of one of our favorite and only synth toons, The Packrat, sent me and a few others a link to an old toon he did called Sci-Fi Guys. I wanted to put up a post on it, so of course I asked if any of the toons featured any synths. Duh. Turns out they did for audio. The following are Dave's words on the toon followed by the synths. Note Randal of redshiftdigitalaudio and the On The Bench posts also worked on this.
"For about a year and a half, my old Sci-Fi Guys toons haven't been available online at all, after Camp Chaos shut down it's 'Other Shows' section. At a rate of about one per week, since May, I've uploaded them all to Newgrounds. The eleventh and final episode (the Christmas one) will get shoved up there in November sometime.
The title song for Sci-Fi Guys is called 'Ryu' off my Parallax CD 'visit the entropics.'
There are other very synthesized sound cues and transitions in the films also, taken directly from the album.
This music was sequenced by me at home, all on a rickety Korg 01/W, but the exported general MIDI files were painstakingly re-mapped & produced by Randel at redshiftdigitalaudio (the tech guy behind the "On the Bench" posts linked from your blog from time to time). A few overdubs, samples and leads were added later. Synths I definitely know that were used: Waldorf Pulse & Microwave, Clavia Nord rack, Korg MS2000R & Wavestation, a couple of Oberheim Matrix-6R's, Roland JD-800 & three JD-990's, and Yamaha VL1-m.

Oberheim 2 Voice
"Oberheim 2 Voice, Serial # 0404. This very rare synth was built in 1975, I purchased it a few months ago, and had just been professionally serviced, everything works and sounds great. See for yourself in the links below. 2 voice means that this synth is polyphonic, 2 VCO's per SEM module, the modules can be triggered together for 4 oscillators at once, or split so that either the left or right module will trigger first. Each oscillator has 2 knobs, one stacked on top of the other allowing for a qick or fine tune of the frequencies. There is some cosmetic wear on the exterior of the case, slight rust on the corner guards and some light scratches typical of an antique such as this."
