YMO Technopolis Live - 3 Years of MATRIXSYNTH

YouTube via matrixsynth.

OK, it's the day after my official three year anniversary on the blog. I wasn't going to mention anything but I figure why not. As for this video. Someone just commented on how it was their favorite. I of course watched it again and realized how good it was. I also noticed that out of 34,470 hits on the video, only 35 came from this site. I usually get a heck of a lot more, but I realize this is because I put up this post back in August of 2006. The obvious observation is I have a heck of a lot more visitors today versus back then so people are missing a LOT of old content. My recommendation is to visit the archives every now and then, but... there was an article I read on the guy that is credited with starting blogs and he gave a few rules on what a blog should be. First, posts should be very short, two they should capture and send people to other sites, and three you should actually post the same content more than once! I used to have a rule that I only post things once. I'm not about to go crazy posting things I already put up, but considering what a "blog should be," I'll be putting stuff up that I might have put up in the past (like this video) should it strike me. If you've seen it already, just ignore it and appreciate that others are now enjoying it as well.

As for numbers, this is post #17,087, the site has had over 2,958,261 visits, 880,569 visitors and over 5,253,505 pageviews. We have not yet conquered the world. Click the world map image below. The green countries have visited MATRIXSYNTH. A bit crazy when you think of it, especially when you consider Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyone into synths there have my utmost respect. Thank you and of course thanks to everyone else that has visited. The white countries however, have not yet visited! I'm guessing either I'm banned in those countries or internet access is of course very sparse. Not sure what the North Koreans have against me though... they do have a kick ass website. Anyway... to those of you that appreciate the site and to those of you that have contributed, THANK YOU!!! I've mentioned it privately to a few people but my goal is to have somewhere for people to be able to reflect on what was coming through the synth waves in this day and age. The site is a repository of everything synth, every day from the inception of this site until I finally stop posting. I'm hoping this will be an interesting look back in time 30, 40, 60+ years from now. It's far from perfect, but IT IS a slice in "synth time." Whether you appreciate it or not, it exists and will continue to exist. To those that support the site: you get it, you know who you are, and THANK YOU.

Update via Martin: "Around 60 Rhythm Machines are not placed and also all 90 Electro-Harmonix Effects are stored. You can see that the Synthorama has really a big space problem :-)

Update via Martin: "In the Roland room there are only a few synths from my stock. From Roland I have a lot of other models but there is no space left to expose them."

"Here it is, my first night with the Q119 Synthesizers.com sequencer. The music is just to show the sequencer and the audio is from a camcorder, so don't expect too much. the other synth is an ARP odyssey and it is doing a melody taken from Philip Glass, The Hours, 2002. Enjoy "

DIY Analog Synth and Rhythm Sequencer MK3

"My newest synth.

Dual, 2 part, oscillators with hard sync and independent pattern generators for Pitch, PWM and Gating.

Just 1 quick routine here. The synth's clock is synced to Logic via an Audio Gate Input. I'm messing around with the PWM pattern and the balance between OSC1 and OSC 2's PWM."
