www.serge-fans.com update

via the Serge Modular list:

"I have updated all the M-Class pages on www.serge-fans.com to include descriptions of each module in each panel. So, when you view any M-Class panel now, there's a description of what each function is for.

http://www.serge-fans.com/m-class.cfm

I'd like to thank to Ty Hodson for pulling M-Class module information together from various sources. Other references include Rex and "Introduction of the Serge Modular Music System" by Rich Gold, Darrel Johansen, and Marina LaPalma.

Hopefully this will make this resource a little more useful to you folks!

I'm still updating this little by little, so if anybody sees any glaring mistakes or has something interesting to add, send me a (kind) note please!

When I've got a little more time, I'll be doing the same thing for the listed shop panels.

Cheers!

DIY Synth: Auduino


YouTube via jjuup
"This is a video of my Auduino prototype.

All audio, except for the echo, is coming from the Arduino/Auduino.

I have plans to build a ribbon controller that would control the pitch instead of the leftmost potentiometer. Of course a prettier enclosure would be nice too, the prototype was built into a carboard box.

Have a look at my build blog here:
http://jessestudio.blogspot.com/2009/...

Scematics and source code can be found here:

I ordered the pots and Moog style knobs from ebay.
Build cost was around 40€ including the Arduino itself."

EKO ComputeRhythm drum-machine from 1972 (demo 1)


YouTube via kovalmoog. via audible.

"This is a pretty rare drum machine manufactured by EKO in 1972 in Recanati, Italy. Model ComputeRhythm, maybe one of 15-20 ever made (curiously SN #0113).
This particular one is owned by a musician living in Madrid, Luis De La Cruz, and It was repaired and slightly modified by me on the past months (www.synthoma.net).
Before giving back to its owner I have the chance to made these demonstration videos to show its features and incredible programing methods.
Due to the price it was mainly used by famous electronic musicians like Jean-Michel Jarre and Manuel Göttsching (founder member of Ashra Tempel). J-M Jarre has used it extensively on his first albums: "Oxygene" and "Equinoxe".
It can be seen on his Equinoxe 5 videoclip from 1978 (at 0:36):

Please, enjoy this first demo, and sorry about the poor quality video. It was made by a webcam. However, the audio was taken directly from the mixer."

Moldover's Album - Circuit Board Instrument


YouTube via moldover. theremin like cd case. via jared via engadget
"Moldover's new CD, over 3 years in the making, not only delivers gorgeously diverse music with meaning and musical mastery, it completely redefines what it means to "play an album"... Moldover's CD packaging itself IS a new musical instrument! The CD is mounted on a custom designed circuit board, intricately patterned and powering a "light-Theremin". Yes! You play the artwork and it makes sound! Only the musical supervillain genius of Moldover could develop something so stunningly innovative."
