Studio Electronics ATC-1 Demos

A few videos sent my way via Mr. Array. Note a couple of these are just still images for the audio demo. The ARP Little bother in the first vid is not what you are hearing; it's the ATC-1 that you hear.

Bach Little Prelude BWV 934

"Ok, the last one. I apologize for the mistakes, but that's what I could record while I'm at home recovering from a cold. I played a Studio Electronics ATC-1 from the CME UF6, with Lexicon PCM-60 reverb, Echo indigo I/O, Cubase, iSight with iMovieHD."

Playng with a monophonic Synth

YouTubes via marcelojohann. I actually found this one checking out the rest of his videos and thought I'd include it. Be sure to check out the rest.
"This is a music of my own, actually a simple theme that I like and keep improvising over, but it has no defined begin, ending or structure. Here I'm playing it on a monophonic synth, interleaving notes and using a lot of reverb to give them sustain..."

Studio Electronics SE-1

YouTube via chriszanf.
"This is my SE-1. Im just messing about with a simple bassline and 1 bar of drums. There was only 1 other video of an SE-1 and that was broken/munted but still played. [its in the 'related' below] Ill post more later as Ive just got my studio together finally!!"

The Oakley Sound Orbital

"The Orbital is a classic three VCO monosynth with powerful features. It uses the same tried and tested circuits as the Oakley Modular System. It has the same powerful huge sound but in a more compact and classic format.

My design brief was simple. To build a superb analogue monosynth for musicians using existing Oakley PCBs and to fit it all in a 4U rack. It had to be simple to operate, yet flexible enough to keep virtually everyone happy. So what has the Orbital got to offer:

Three VCOs. Each oscillator is the Oakley 'One of three' VCO with sine, triangle, pulse and sawtooth available simultaneously. An ingenious mixing system keeps the overall volume level the similar as the waveforms are switched in and out. Synchronisation is provided so that VCO 2 and/or VCO 3 can be synched to VCO1. VCO2 can have its pulse width modulated by one of the ADSRs. While VCO 3 can have its pitch swept by the envelope generator, for powerful lead sync sounds."

PPG Mods

Title link takes you to a number of PPG mods on seib.synth.net. While there, be sure to check out the rest of the site.

Pictured is a Wave 2.3 mod
"This modification has been done by DI Helmut Fischbach (who built a lot of stuff for Kraftwerk) for Manfred Hermann und Jon Kaiser from Berlin. For that, the whole Wave was "sliced" and put into a rack case."

Mods include:
Wave 2 Rack
Wave 2.3 with velocity-sensitive keyboard
