"The mic is being fed through the Phantastron pentode tube circuit. Thus, it controls pitch, sync or distortion depending on the settings."

"Silent Rage" - Rhodes Chroma Compositions

Via Chris Ryan on the Rhodes Chroma list:

"I've posted a couple of recordings contributed by Chris Smalt [21010280+], who recently rejoined us after an absence of many years. An original composition, 'Silent Rage,' is '13 tracks of Chroma, [Update via Chris: "Just to be clear, it's not 13 tracks in the sense of separate compositions or audio files; it's 13 tracks in the sense of multitrack. Worth hearing! "] all mono, no chorus, just reverb and some delay added. Some rhythm provided by rubbing hands, snapping fingers and tapping the mic stand with my foot. The sounds are a mix of factory presets and custom patches. The track was originally published in 1999 on a 7-CD compilation called 'Bohemian R.A.P. CD', that included tracks recorded by various contributors to the rec.audio.pro usenet group.'

Also an audience recording, possibly of Peter Vettese, from the 1984 Musicom trade show. Chris writes, 'almost 20 minutes of non-stop live playing two Chromas and a Polaris (and briefly a Rhodes), straight into the PA, no effects, no sequencing. ... At a time when everyone was looking to sound digital and sequenced, here was someone improvising live, just hopping through some presets, retuning the instrument by ear, using a musical idiom and sounds that weren't hip at all. What he showed off in particular was the flexibility of the Chroma when played live.'"

Oberheim SEM Modded

"Oberheim Synthesizer Expander Module model CPS-1, S/N 508. The SEM was Oberheim's first official analog synthesizer. It was conceived with the notion of being used as a backup synth connected to a sequencer for layering or beefing up your existing monophonic analog synths. The SEM itself is a keyboard-less module with two analog oscillators, a 2-pole filter, ADR envelopes, and an LFO. Each of the two oscillators offer triangle or rectangular waveforms."
