auction details: "I picked this up through a famous guitar maker friend (ken parker of the parker fly ) who made the scalloped neck for john's guitar.
John used this with a hex pickup to control a mini-moog per string!
I confirmed that this is the one with bob easton of 360 systems back in the late 70's.
This is a important piece of rock memorabilia from one of the guitar greats. This apparently costs $10,000 when he purchased it without the mini-moogs. here is an interview where he mentions it. go to this link this is how i found this price"

Audio Effects and MPC Tropical Soundtrack Joao Brasil
YouTube via LPChip. "Have you ever heard reverb on a Korg DS-10? Well, technically, its not really reverb, but the delay, that produces a similar effect to reverb. I used this to create strings like sound. My initial goal was to create an Ambient track. I even set the BPM to 10 and it worked quite well. Too bad that I got all these faster melodies in my head that I couldn't write down due to the speed. So I decided to set the speed higher and clear the patterns. I ended up with 45 BPM. I'm very proud on the sounds that I made.
I've got a new camera, and that allowed me to get a better quality video than my previous video's. In addition, I've recorded the video also through my line-in. After that, I edited the video and replaced the audio with the line-in recording. This produces a much better sound here on youtube. Its nearly the quality that you get when you download the mp3 version, except ofcource that the mp3 version is just the song, not all the edits afterwards, which you'll get here on youtube. :)
"For this song, I wanted to do something different. I wanted something like Baseflow, but differently.
I was aiming for New Age, but I think it went more into Ballad/Waltz. Not a bad change though, I like it. :) You can expect a really nice and calm song. I also added the more important screens. :)
YouTube via attorks "The time signature for this theme is 5/4 so its a little bit difficult to track the chords and the solo. You can see my head moving on the down beats in the solo. But it turned out well I think. The Waldorf sequencer has an 8 step sequence with 6 x 1/8 step-lengths and 2 x 1/4 step-lengths. The Doepfer MAQ16/3 has 10 step sequences on two rows driving the Synthesizers.com and the self-built Modular. The first odd note sequences comes from the self-built Modular, the second sequence from the Synthesizers.com and the third sequence from the Waldorf Q Keyboard. The Roland XP80 is currently on the keyboard stand because I have to practice some music to be played on a 50 year anniversary party together with some Tidal Wave members from some 30 years ago. The XP80 has the Vintage Keys card which contain some Mellotron sounds. The solo is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. Notice you can see our dog Zoë in the mirrordoor behind me. I had to shorten the video somewhat because of the YouTube limit of 10 minutes. The original video can be seen or downloaded from my website."
YouTube via knarrbacken "The sounds are from the SH-32 when I had turned knobs for intensity, LFO:s & more and did get some kind of stringmachine / synthesizer-sound."
"Recently discovered the amazing 80s instrument the Omnichord (and its newer cousin the Q-Chord) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENY3BX... - brilliant kind of electronic autoharp where you have individual buttons for a load of different chords... and a touch pad you can strum and it plays notes in that chord in some kind of amazing arpeggiated goodness.
This is my attempt to recreate the Omnichord interface with a Korg nanoPAD. I set up all the pads so they're just sending control data rather than note data, and via GlovePIE the control data from the x axis of the touch pad is divided up into 13 regions, each of which is assigned a note from an arpeggiated chord. the chords are chosen by the top row of pads. bottom right pad sends a note off message. Right now it's all chords in the key of C but something which can be changed - it's just a pain writing out the note data for the arpeggiated chords.
Midi data is being sent out from GlovePIE running on my PC to my Alesis Ion synthesizer, on a patch I forgot the original name of (renamed it when i tweaked it a bit) then through some reverb on my guitar amp.
All sounds very technical but the end result is pretty fun to use :)"
