Happy 808 day

Korg DW-6000 - Baba O'Reily Patch Programing

YouTube via Organgrinder010
"One of my all-time favorite Who songs, and always a mystery to me how the intro was done. I spent an evening trying to see if I could recreate what I was hearing; to synthesize a synthesizer. It's not perfect, but I think it works pretty well for a live situation. I also tried to explain all of what I was doing, I hope it makes some sense. Tell me what you think.

Equipment used:
1984 Korg DW-6000 Digital Waveform Analog Synthesizer.
Alesis MIDIverb III with custom Delay/Chorus preset.

My Butt Hurts (Metasonix grind)

"We're using the Metasonix TM-3 Dual Oscillator as a source with the audio outs of a DSI Evolver keyboard controlling the CV inputs of the TM-3. The TM- 6 Multimode filter is next, then the TM-7 Scrotum Smasher Distortion. Not shown are the Vermona Retroverb and a Moog MF-104z Analog Delay.

Eowave Persephone Analog Synthesizer

images via this auction

"I'll let a blurb from the eowave site do the explaining: The Persephone is a fingerboard analogue synthesizer with CV and MIDI in and out. At the first sight, the Persephone reminds of the first electronic fingerboard instruments developed in the 1920s. But beyond this vintage look, the Persephone allies sensors technology and digital controls to a pure analogue generation of sound. The Persephone musicality will be determined by the way it is played. The Persephone respects the traditional play of the first non-keyboard electronic instruments with the right hand controlling the pitch and the left hand controlling the velocity. The ribbon zone can allow all kinds of play. When scaled, the Persephone can be played like a regular keyboard. Though there are no fixed preset notes with the ribbon, keyboard players will easily find their way. Guitars and bass players will certainly play it like a chord instrument and get sounds that are closed to cello or violin, especially when using vibratos. Jazz players will enjoy slapping the Persephone's ribbon to get wonderful sonorities.

Movie music writers and fans of sci-fi effects will enjoy its bi-dimensional structure, which allows creating eerie sounds very easily. A new fingerboard synthesizer Just like any synthesizer, the Persephone offers a classical synthesis architecture with an oscillator section, a filter section, a modulation section and a LFO section. With its 100% analogue oscillator, the Persephone can generate notes with a range of 10 octaves. Its lower frequencies go from a deep and resonant cello tone to a nearly human voice.

On the highest pitches, it can reach very high frequencies. The oscillator waveform can be set between triangle and sawtooth for a more or less brilliant sound. The filter is a 12dB low-pass filter. Its ribbon control surface is pressure and position sensitive. While it requires the most advanced sensor technology and allows all kind of glissando a Theremin or les Ondes Martenot would allow. A scaling potentiometer allows scaling the Persephone's ribbon from 1, 2, 5 to 10 octaves. The expression key, controlled by an optic sensor, can transmit the slightest vibrations on the key with an accuracy the mechanical systems never had. All the controls are digital. The four play modes - A, B, C and D - offer different hierarchy of control between the pitch, the velocity, a filter modulation and a LFO.

Connections are located on the rear side of the front panel and are protected from dust and other source of deterioration by the Persephone suitcase top when not used. The Persephone like a CV/MIDI controller The Persephone has a CV out and a MIDI in/out. With its CV out, it can control any other analogue synthesizers and modular systems. With its MIDI in/out, it can also be used as a MIDI controller, what turns it into a powerful new kind of instrument. Technical Specifications Suitcase version or desktop version available Scale : a scaling potentiometer allows to scale the Persephone's ribbon from 1, 2, 5 to 10 octaves. Tune Finetune Brightness : two waveforms Wave : from sinus to triangle.

ARP 2600 Garbage and a Kitty

Another story to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
"around may of this year in seattle, there was a electronics recycling thing going on which i helped with... it was insane piles of electronic waste, all of which would be disassembled and sold as scrap. during this event i asked the guy in charge if i could have a old 'music keyboard' i found (arp 2600 + 3620keys)! (no one knew what it was but me!!!!) once home i and it was taken apart for cleaning i found it had the old 'moog filter' and was missing 1 speaker,only thing wrong with it! plus someone had modified it (8 extra holes plus toggle switch) sorta like 70s circuit bending i suppose." via anonymous.
Not sure about the cat connection, but there it is.

New M-odule released into the wild: Audio Interface

via Matthew Carpenter:

"Hi guys,
Presenting the M-class Audio Interface M-odule!

It features frequency format curve envelope detection with VC up/down linear slewing. Also variable exp/log shaping of the detected signal.

It includes a DC coupled VCA for control loop feedback of the envelope signal or for AM encoding the detected & slewed CV out. It's also useful for pre- or post-EQ signal AMing.

The comparator is useful for deriving level detected Gate Output or for deriving pulse trains from audio signals (pre- or post-EQ) and triggering the DSG.

Of course, DSG can be used as a complex VC LFO or OSC with frequency controlled by envelope detected audio signal (pre- or post-EQ), for example.

Finally, the Resonant Equalizer, which has received much glowing praise on this list over the years, completes this indispensable M-odule.

The Audio Interface is available with Hi-Z Balanced Input [DID] by means of 'XLR' and/or 1/4" t-r-s via the M-boat rear panel. (Lo-Z input transformer is also available)

$1,700 (Balanced Input option + $150) / (Lo-Z transformer add $150)

Thanks,
Matt"
