resonant accordion - Baghead



"the resonant accordion sound is from a Prophet 2002 sampler, with a Wine Country purchased accordion sample run through the Prophet 2002 filters which are analog - hardly sounds like an accordion does it? The MP3 doesn't do the sound justice, there is a gorgeous chimey/ring quality to it live. The drums are a Korg ER-1 thru an Alesis Bitrman and that's about it, Ableton Live is the sequencer"

images via this auction

"Maestro is the first russian synth with microprocessor inside. Maestro synthesizer was prodused on Kachkanar military radio plant on the same factory where well known Polivoks synth was prodused. Synth has nice compact design. There are 16 base waveforms onboard. Some waveforms feed to analog filter with resonanse. There is interesting arpeggiator also with memory of key's order and speed control. The synth is polyphonic, you can play 4 voices at one time. Than there is nice sounding rich chorus effect with mix/dry amount control. LFO can modulate pitch by triangle waveform. There is controls of modulation speed and amount of pitch modulation. There is nice funky 2-dimensional joystick for modulation
control."

Doepfer A-104 Trautonium Filter


via this auction

"A-104 is a fourfold formant filter as used in the Mixtur Trautonium by Oskar Sala. It is made of four parallel resonance filters, each filter can be switched to low pass or band pass or off. Frequency, resonance and level are controlled for each filter separately (no voltage control). The frequency range for the filters is about 50Hz...5kHz. The filter audio inputs are very sensitive so that distortion may intentionally be used to create new sounds - if desired. The A-104 is a versatile module for sound modification. In the first place it is used for reproduction of resonances (e.g. the vocal-like effects known from the Trautonium). In combination with the subharmonic generator A-113, the Trautonium Manual A-198 and some other A-100 modules one obtains a Trautonium replica."

The Roland S-50 on wire to the ear


"The Roland S-50 was a futuristic looking black metal monolith with a fluorescent screen. It felt long and had 61 keys. Compare that with the measly cheap feeling two octave Oxygen 8 I use now! You could hook it up to an external monitor. I had mine hooked up to a 13″ green CRT poised on a three tier Ultimate Keyboard Rack. It also came with a digitizing tablet and pen similar to a Wacom tablet. This allowed you to draw waveforms but it was more gimmick than useful.

It was 4 part multitimbral and 16 voice polyphonic. It had a 3.5″ disc drive and 750k internal memory. You could sample at 12-bit at 15-30kHz." Click here for the full post on the Roland S-50 on wire to the ear.
