"Touchzillator Proof of concept

The Touchzillator is a waveform oscillator with the ability to draw the waveforms via a touchscreen. This is a proof of concept, realized with a PIC24 prototype board, a GLCD with touchscreen and a 12bit DAC. Waveform playback with 44,1 KHz and waveform resolution 5 bit at the moment (limited to the GLCD/Touchscreen right now).

The Touchzillator is part of my Synthesizer project.

via this auction

"A portable handheld , battery powered mini music workstation from the early 90's. A lot of fun for quickly sketching out music ideas while sitting on the train or toilet...
OR use it as part or your live setup for great cheesy sounds and sequences.
This example is in great condition and comes with its VHS case."

Korg PSS 60 Programmable Super Section

via this auction

"chiptune composer? 8-bit music maker? U want cheesy 80's sounds?
This could be your new creative tool and killa live machine!

Korg PSS 60 Programmable Super Section
Updated version of the PSS 50 circa 1989. Very similar with expanded sounds and capabilities. Also build quality (aluminum casing) and styling is sleek and understated ... I guess the 80's were coming to an end when this thing was made.
Condition of this unit is excellent . Unmarred except for a few scratches to the top face. Works 100%.
Originally a simple rhythm and sequencer to create arrangements /sketches of songs and to use as a live sequencer. Today I think it has far more potential to be used creatively in song production and live performance.

No manual available online , but it took me about 30 minutes to work out its capabilities and limitations.
Works with a standard 9v adapter (not included)

J. M. Jarre - Oxygene 4 - extended version

YouTube via rfoshaug
"Original music composed by Jean Michel Jarre. Copyright recordings and music reproduced by kind permission of Francis Dreyfus Music and Jean Michel Jarre.

This is my version of Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene Part IV. My webcam is not working so I couldn't make a "first person"-type video this time. Instead, I made my own version of the penguin video. ;-)

The penguin footage is from the documentary film "The march of the penguins", except for the last minute or so... (which is from an April Fools joke that BBC created). I decided to make a happier ending than Jarre's original penguin video. :-)

I have extended the song a little bit, both in the start and at the end. I wanted to create my own version of Oxygene IV as well as staying true to the original. The result is an 8-minute Oxygene Part IV.

Synths used:
- Korg M3 synthesizer workstation with EXB-Radias expansion card
- Korg Radias synthesizer

I hope you'll enjoy it.

:-)"

4 Tribes

"Every now and then I like to take these old folks out for some time in the sun. The samples on the ES are a 909 kit. Since I was holding the camera I didn't really do much tweaking except vol. level. But at least it shows these four old men doing their jobs. These are the original 4 plastic Electribes released by Korg before they started using the metal tops. It's fun to go back to the newer models after playing with these and their limitations. The biggest of these is the single effect that can be in play at any one time and the fact that you can't selectively send each sound to the delay bus. Still, you have to try to make the most of the tool you are using. And it's fun to imagine yourself in a time when these guys would have been "cutting edge"."
