SMule: Ocarina for iPhone [Zeldarian]

"Ocarina, for iPhone, by SMule. http://www.smule.com/"

"The Ocarina synthesizes sound in real-time, just like a regular instrument, based on actual gestures including wind input, tilt, and finger placement over the four holes overlaid on the multi-touch pad. Unlike other iPhone audio apps, the sound is not pre-compiled but is generated by the notes, gestures and nuance of the individual performer. As a result, it allows an iPhone user to explore and master the musical sounds of an entirely iPhone-native version of an ancient flute-like instrument.

Smule's audio engine (CHiP) and the Smule Sonic Network make it possible to hear live performances around the world. With the globe view, you can hear performances, and see the origin of that performance.

This is the fourth in a series of innovative applications from Smule (www.smule.com), based on the developer's innovative mobile audio platform."

VEMIA - Roland System 100 102

via this VEMIA auction
"Incredible 102 System 100 expander, like something straight out of a Tokyo shopfront display c. 1976, complete with the original price-tag. There are three marks on the top panel, and apart from that it really would be perfectly saleable as new (though it has no box, manual or accessories). The sockets are more bright and shiny than I ever remember them; it doesn't look like it's ever got dusty; the plastic protective bits are still on the outsides of the knobs; and the whole panel still looks like new no matter how closely you look. I suspect that I might be the first person ever to switch it on. Like most things that have been left covered up for 30 years, it wasn't quite 100% when first played - the filter cutoff slider was slightly noisy to start with - so it's being checked over and anything at all out of spec will be re-calibrated before sending. Japanese voltage and plug - close enough (we think) but not absolutely identical to US."

Cowboy and the Vocoder and the MMM

YouTube via redmartian.

Note this is via redmartian and not AnalogVocoder1 (click for the reference).
"A song written for a dog who likes to listen to the sound the Roland SVC-350 vocoder. This song features the MMM as well as a Sequential Circuits Drum Traks and a Roland Jupiter-6. (I don't have a Poly-800 .. sorry cowboy).

Here are the lyrics:

Do you know Cowboy
and the SVC-350?
Do you know Cowboy
and the Roland Vocoder?

Hey there Cowboy
I see you there
Lazy gazing
Gazing lazy
Whos my sweet boy?
You know its you.
I like to vocode and you do too.

No Poly-800 to drive the SVC
So I use an MMM as my carrier wave
No Poly-800 but Cowboy doesn't mind.
We all know its the Roland SVC-350 vocoder time.

Audio version can be found here:

VEMIA - Moog Projekt Elektronik mod-ed 960s

via this VEMIA auction
"No documentary evidence, but these are believed to have been owned by Tangerine Dream, and modified for them by Projekt Elektronik or Wolfgang Palm. The photo of Edgar Froese is believed to show these two sequencers - one above the Four-Voice, and one under the MS-10. Some features of the modifications seem to have been disabled or altered, so some servicing or re-modding may be needed. All early (R.A. Moog) items: 2x 960, 1x 961, 2x 962s. Re-cased at some time in their history into what looks like a IIIP-style case with two knobs on top. Another item needing to be sold to finance a large modular synth restoration."

Update via Micke in the comments:
"The big sequencer above the Oberheim Four voice in the photo with Edgar Froese is a Synthanorma (built by Matten & Wiechers), not Moog.

Other artists/bands using this type of sequencer were Klaus Schulze and Kraftwerk (who used a special version of it)."

"The Synthanorma sequencer was part of Peter Schmoelling's stage rig during TD's concert in East-Berlin way back in Jan 1980."

VEMIA - Custom SEM, 1601-style sequencer

SEM - It has 10 CV inputs including 2 external inputs, LFO sync plus the usual Filter1/2, CV1/2, VCA and Gate inputs. Envelopes and the LFO, as well as all oscillator waveforms are available as outputs. Four CV inputs include attenuators. All jacks except VCA out are high quality 3.5mm metal sockets. The VCA out is a 6.5mm jack and includes level control. All knobs match the original Oberheim SEM. CARP 1601 - this is a 2U unit based on the original ARP 1601. Only a handful were made due to high cost of manufacture. It is a 16 step sequencer with 5 octave Quantised output in semitone steps and 10 octave unquantised output. There are many inputs and outputs including Position 1, Reset, Start, Stop, CV IN, FM etc. Gate can be set for each step and the sequencer can be programmed to any step length between 1 and 16. Both units are housed in an attractive angled case with matching lid and side entry mains socket. For more information and audio examples please visit www.vcf.talktalk.net."
