The EVOS Modular is Coming

Remember the EVOS? Via Mike Peak on AH:

"Dennis contacted me yesterday:

'Mike,

I have no problem with you passing on what I discussed with you. I will be making some sort of announcement (sometime in early '08) about the web site and when the updated Evos Modular will be available.'....

The previous email:
'Mike,

Every few months, or so, I do some internet browsing, just to see what sort of things are going on in the synth world - especially concerning modular stuff. While doing so, I happened upon your post on the MATRIXSYNTH site (via AH).

It's always pleasing to me to know that people are still interested in my modular and also, that they seem to understand and appreciate what I was trying to accomplish. While I have no objections to the documentation being disseminated, I often have mixed feelings about this. Firstly, (and most importantly) because the system has gone through a number of refinements over the past few years and secondly, republishing them only perpetuates the grammatical and typographical errors which appeared in the originals. To rectify this situation, I am (slowly) compiling data on the latest version which will appear in an upcoming web site dedicated to my modular system. Eventually, I plan to include some historical information tracking the development of the various versions of the system through time.

...I have been making plans to release the new version of the modular early next year. It will be, initially, limited to a set of what I consider to be the most essential modules, with gradual additions over time.

I genuinely want to see the modular in the hands of people who might put it to good use...

Take care.

Dennis'

This is great news. Especially if it sounds like it looks."

Yamaha TG-33 Welcome Message

"Nice to meet you"

A little synth history: The TG-33 is a direct descendant of the SCI Prophet VS, vector synth. It is different than wavetable synthesis found in the PPG and Waldorf synths. When SCI folded, Dave worked for Yamaha and the technology used in the Prophet V went into the TG-33 and eventually the KORG Wavestation when Dave moved on to Korg. The Prophet V had analog filters, the TG-33 and Wavestation were all digital and of course they all sounded different. BTW, if anyone has more to add to the story, feel free to comment. The one thing I always wonder was who owned the technology and how it moved from Yamaha to Korg. You'd think Yamaha would have held onto it if they could. I'm sure I heard the story at one point, but it's all a blur...

Update: MP3 demo via smackos in the comments.

ARP 1612 Sequencer SN #0001

Title link takes you to shots via this auction. via jeffc.

"This wonderful unit has serial number 0001. It’s in full working order and near mint condition. Some minor cosmetic flaws are visible. A photo copy of both Owner’s and Service manual will be included with the sequencer. A classic sequencer of the 70's. You create your sequences with the 16 sliders. Adjust the sliders to change pitch while each slider represents a sixteenth note. It uses Control Voltage (CV) and Gate protocols to play your sequences on a connected analog synthesizer. The ARP Sequencer works perfectly with the ARP 2500, 2600, Odyssey, Avatar and other ARP synthesizers as well as Roland, Oberheim and Sequential Circuits. To interface the Sequencer with other types of CV/Gate capable synths like fx the Mini Moog or the Korg MS 20 would require a CV converter box. The ARP sequencer is fun and easy to learn. Use it to create continuous arpeggios or simple sequences of patterns for your vintage analog gear. Tweak it in real-time as you create or perform, it's very hands-on. Product description from the manual: The ARP Sequencer, model 1612, is a 16 step sequential voltage generator. A voltage slider is provided for each of the 16 steps to adjust the voltage output from 0 to +10 volts. The sequencer may be used in a “8 x 2” mode so that outputs 1 through 8 (Bank A) and 9 through 16 (Bank B) sequence in parallel. The outputs of banks A and B are prewired to a voltage quantizer which effectively “rounds off” the sequencer’s voltage to the nearest whole twelwth of a volt. This allows for precise tuning. A low frequency voltage controlled oscillator governs the stepping speed of the sequencer and can be started, stopped, gated, or speeded up either manually or externally. Serious bidders and Paypal only. WILL SHIP WORLD WIDE, but buyer will pay for shipping. Item location is in Drammen, Norway - Europe."

modular synth + speak and math

"hooked a speak and math with cv in to a modular synth. the recording is from the output of the speak and math and nothing else."
