Create Digital Music, ETSY & MAKE - Handmade music night 9/27 8pm! NYC

It looks like our buddies, Peter Kirn of CDM and Richard Lainhart will be at Handmade Music at Etsy Labs in Brooklyn. Richard will be playing a solo set with his Buchla and Continuum on Thursday, September 27 at 8PM. The cool part? It will be free! Just RSVP. If you are in the area, don't miss this! Check out the videos on Richard's site for a sample. Also see these previous posts for some of Richard's contributions to this site.

"Handmade Music is an evening of original creations for music making, open to the creative minds of the New York area. It's equal parts party, show-and-tell, performance, and science fair, open to whatever oddball software and hardware people want to bring, complete or not. Some come with projects, others just to hear and see unusual new instruments, from software to game systems to homemade electronic instruments.

Each installment brings plenty of surprises, but appearances confirmed
for this one include:

* A featured performance by Richard Lainhart, a renowned electronic improviser and innovator
* Seven-foot tall "Suburbanite" aka "60 Switches of Fury", a music controller by Eric Johnson
* The Monome, a minimalist open-source hardware controller with grids of buttons
* A fluid musical instrument controller entirely by webcam, by Peter Kirn
* Lots of other things that may just appear"

Not the sharpest images, but they should give you a feel for the presence of the synth.

Sequential Circuits Prophet-600

"The Prophet-600 is a 6-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with a 5-octave, 61-note (C-C) keyboard. Each voice consists of two VCOs, two VCFs, and two VCAs. Each of these components has its own independent ADSR envelope. Each Prophet-600 voice uses 2 sets of Curtis Chips for its architecture. The sound originates in a pair of Curtis 3340 VCOs, each with independent on/off switches for sawtooth, triangle, and pulse waveforms. VCO1 can be synced to VCO2. Both oscillators are set with a frequency knob that is notched in semi-tones, with a separate fine tune knob for VCO2. Portamento is adjusted by a single knob. The sound then passes through a pair of Curtis 3372 chips. Each 3372 contains a VCF, a VCA, and a separate volume control for mixing. The VCF is a resonant 24dB/octave filter, with its own ADSR and knob for frequency. The frequency knob is quantized into steps, not allowing you to change it smoothly. Key follow can be set to full, half or off. The LFO can modulate the oscillators (both at the same time), the filter frequency, and the pulse width on the oscillator. The Prophet-600 has mono mode with chord memory as well as two one-track sequencers and an arpeggiator. The sequencers are programmed in real-time and cannot be edited. The arpeggiator can be set to the normal up or down modes or can cycle through the keys in the order that they were played"

"Great Looking 1970's Vintage Roland SH-2000 Analog Synthesizer Keyboard. It was found packed away in storage at a local Estate Sale. I doubt the previous owner has played it within the past few years. Its in Very Good/Excellent condition cosmetically, all knobs & controls are original & intact. Its been well cared for by the previous owner. I've tested all the functions, playing it through my amp, and it works fine. You may choose to have it cleaned, since it sat unplayed for so long."
