Jazzy House Music feat. RozzBox Oddulator and Roland MC909


YouTube via corporozzidentity
"I initially wanted to make an Oddulator Demonstration, and played around with a house pattern. At some point liked the meditative vibe and noodling so much that I had to record this video, although it may be not too enlightening concerning the Oddulator :) Well, but at least, as you see: Its capable of doing a nice house bass. MC909 does drums and "Rhodes"..."

Killer PCBs - How to Make Printed PCBs

"This instructable demonstrates the process for making printed circuit boards with features as small as 0.005 suitable for LQFP or QFN ICs using negative dry film photoresist. This will enable you to handle just about any kind of integrated circuit available--even ball grid array! Pictured are boards with a TSSOP-14, QFN-40 packages using a .65mm pitch and zero insertion force flex sockets with .5mm pitch."

Waldorf Microwave Mk1 Revision A with curtis filter CEM3389, the direct successor of the PPG Wave

The sound of the Microwave Mk1 (real hybrid synth) and Microwave Mk2 (DSP based synth) is absolute different."

The HOG Nails The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again"


YouTube via EHX

"http://www.ehx.com Visit EHX.com for user videos, our blog, community fourms, and lots more! For more HOG product info, see: http://www.ehx.com/products/hog Indulge your senses! The award winning HOG (Harmonic Octave Generator) is a totally polyphonic guitar synthesizer offering complete control of up to 10 interval pitches. NO glitches and NO special pickup needed. Generate extreme sub bass to powerful multi-octave chords. Convert your 6 string into a 12 string, create a realistic B3 organ. Amazing on guitar but works well with any instrument. * Flawless polyphonic glitch-free tracking across the entire range! * Controllable harmonic intervals: -2 octaves, -1 octave, Original note, +5th, +1 octave, +1 octave +5th, +2 octaves, +2 octaves + 3rd, +3 octaves, +4 octaves. * Works directly from your instrument's output * Expression pedal (included) with 7 selectable expression modes: +/- 1 octave and 1 step pitch bend, freeze + gliss, volume, wah and filter frequency * Pitch Bend expression mode turns the HOG into a whammy pedal * Freeze expression mode is a new guitar effect never heard before. Freeze allows the musician to freeze a note or chord so you can play over it or slide to new notes just like a keyboardist would do when using portamento * Dedicated resonant filtering with sweepable frequency control * Amplitude envelope control allowing the musician to lengthen a note's attack, for swell effects, or to increase a note's decay speed * Separate lower and upper harmonic region amplitude envelopes * MIDI in allows expression control using MIDI pitch bend * 9LDC-500 power supply included" Update via Scott of EHX:
"Bill Ruppert, a studio musician in Chicago, created this neat video in which he uses an Electro-Harmonix HOG to recreate the very well-known synth sounds from The Who's 'Won't Get Fooled Again.'

My understanding is that in the original song, Pete Townsend combined a 1968 Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ with an EMS VCS3 mk1 synthesizer. Bill gets damn close with his Electro-Harmonix HOG, plus a bit of echo from his Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai."

Roland VP-330 vocoder jamming at Analog Sweden


YouTube via AnalogSweden
"Fredrik Segerfalk laying down some vocoder riffs on the Roland VP-330 in the Analog Sweden studio. The track is from DJ Devastates coming album, "Movement Silence". This was the final test of the VP-330 after a total re-calibration for a client. Too bad we had to return it, since it was great fun!

Dr. Patrick Gleeson

via Dr. Patrick Gleeson on MySpace:
"In 1968, jazz legend Herbie Hancock left Miles Davis' band (after 5 years) to pursue his solo career. Hancock's concept quickly moved deeper into electronic/jazz fusion and was perfected with the addition to his band of Dr. Patrick Gleeson. Dr. Gleeson performed on Moog and Arp synthesizers, old-school analog modular types, which were capable of creating a myriad of sounds that had never really been heard in a jazz/improv context. These sounds, as represented on the albums "Crossings" and "Sextant", from 1971/72, were brimming with abstract imagery both alien and organic. Although Hancock & Miles Davis both were reportedly influenced by avant garde composer, Karlheinz Stockhausen, it was Patrick Gleeson who truly brought the sonic world of Stockhausen to jazz music and created new definitions for the word "fusion"..."
