To listen, click here!. (on NYE, of course)

We did it in 2006 and 2008 (I think we missed 2007) so why not do it again? Lets have an online electro-music.com international New Year's Eve party and electro-jam. Almost all cultures celebrate the January 1st New Year so this is sure not to offend too many people.

A floating concert is like a floating crap game, it moves around from location to location.

We will set up our shoutcast server to run all day Dec 31 through Jan 1. We'd like people in their studios to set up live streaming of performances, jam sessions, or any kind of musical expression for streaming. The electro-music.com members and lurkers can tune in and share the experience. Hopefully, we will get people volunteering from all over the world to sign up for a time slot. Pick a time convenient for you - it doesn't have to be Midnight in your time zone, but that would be cool.

For those that haven't done live streaming, it is a lot easier than you might imagine. To do the streaming, all you need is a PC with Oddcast (now called Edcast), a free program. If you have a Mac, you can use the Nicecast program (free demo works for a month the last time we tried it) to stream.

If you are are interested in participating, we'll set up a test server just for you to experiment on to make sure you can get it to work.

Once you get your own server assignment, you can test stream all you want. When you time come up on New Years Eve, I will switch the radio.electro-music.com server to reflect you server. You have nothing to do.

If you are interested, please let us know sending me a PM (Private Message) by clicking on the PM button at the bottom of this message. We'll pass out times on a first come basis. I'll stream from my house at midnight Eastern US time. We'll have some electro-friends over to jam. Why don't you do the same? Don't worry about being polished and super professional, this is for fun. Hopefully, we can give some of our DIY synth builders a chance to have their music heard direct from their studios.

It's party time... party time!
All you need to know to start streaming is in the following links:

Edcast (Oddcast) instructions posted: http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-13780.html

Mac OSX users are encouraged to use NiceCast which we have tested.

In 2006 we were able to stream noodles when there was nobody streaming live.
Hopefully we will be able to to this again,.

During the event the streaming will be hosted here: radio.electro-music.com."

More info including the current line-up on this electro-music.com thread.

Note Richard Lainhart is on the list with the Buchla 200e and Haken Continuum.

Maxi-Korg Repeat Function

"The repeat function has two sliders; one for speed and the other for the duration or width of the note repeating. It also has a mode switch. I set the mode to “A” to retrigger the note I was playing, then fussed with the speed and width to get this wet, growling, engine like noise."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 2002+

via this auction

"8 individual outputs, O.S. 4.0 expanded memory/ram. You can sample longer on this one than any other 2000/2002 version. the latest os fixed some bugs, too. This particular machine shines at making really cool synthesized samples, or basically turning your samples/ sampled in material into synthesized chords, basses, efx, etc.... not as punchy as Akai, but very warm and fuzzy and with that lofi crunch."

Not the best shots, but some of the inside. This one ended at $386.50. via brian c

"Here's a demo of the synthesizer I built at the Machine Project learn to solder class. The class was great, and I can't wait to do more tinkering. It makes such a lovely sound, don't you think?"

Sugar Bytes WOW Filter Demonstration

YouTube via gearwire
"Aside from it's definition as an astonished interjection, the word "wow" can also mean: "slow variation in the pitch of a sound reproduction resulting from variations in the speed of the recording or reproducing equipment." We wonder if Sugar Bytes knew that when creating their WOW Filter plugin.

Bill Holland checks this plugin out to see if the product's own name can predict his response to the fluctuating filter sounds.

See more on Gearwire.com."

Chroma front panels

via ron on the Rhodes Chroma list (User Group):

"I've been meaning to send Chris this photo for a while to include on the site. It shows 3 out of 4 membrane panels for the Chroma. The only one missing is the main production panel produced after the first 50 went out. AFAIK the only difference between the first 50 and the main run was parameter #2. Poly/Mono on the first 50, FSW(?) on the main run."


The bottom shot is a bit blurry. Hopefully a sharper image will come in.
