Rhodes Chroma Demo

download here
via Norman Fay of Vietgrove on AH:
"The "big job" of this year recently got completed - Tony Allgood of Oakley Synthesisers serviced my Rhodes Chroma and did some fairly major work (incl the power supply replacement as detailed on www.till.com, with mods to work on UK power).

It is awesome to have the Chroma running on 8 voices, to have the parameter slider working, and to have the instrument running in almost eerie silence with no buzz & hum from the power supply. I'm sure the thing sounds a bit cleaner as well.

Many thanks, Tony.

I threw this together in like 1hr, using Cubase, SIR reverb and digitalfishphones "blockfish" compressor. There is probably too much reverb on it, sorry! All of the sounds are derived from the chroma, I think there's 10 layers altogether, though not all at once. One of the layers was sequenced using "zeit", the rest played in by hand. It's just a faff about, really."

"Hey guess what? You linked a while back to Wilba's amazing MIDIbox SID. Well he has just taken delivery on 100 PCB's (sorry, all spoken for) which are about to be unleashed on the MIDIBox community. Something tells me we're going to start hearing a lot more modern SID music soon. Thought you might want to share this one. I have one on order and will be sharing my experiences building the thing at http://nebulasdomain.blogspot.com"

BMH Audio & Elektronik Pro-One Processor Replacement

"We are working on a replacment processor for the 8021 in Sequential circuit's ProOne. It is a little pcb board with a modern sufacemounted processor. The board has pins that fits to the socket on the ProOne's pcb. So it's just to plug it in. The replacment board has even some more features built in:
* Midi input and output
* Two analog outputs, can be used to midi control for example filter cutoff etc.
* One analog input, have not decided what to use it for. Maybe to send midi data from pitchbend or modwhweel, or other analog signal"
