1976 Korg PE-2000 Poly Ensemble K5

via this auction

"The PE-2000 was a professional synthesizer when it came out in the 70's and was widely used by the pioneers of 70's electronic music. For a sample of the sounds of this amazing synth listen to late 70's Vangelis or Tangerine Dream especially on the "Thief" soundtrack. This is Korg's second production synthesizer and truely prehistoric when it comes to synthesizers. This was Korg's attempt to get full polyphony in a synthesizer. It has three oscillators per voice and sounds monstrous. Here is a sound sample of the string patch http://www.till-kopper.de/korg-pe2000/Strings.mp3 (note this is Till Kopper's site) Here is a youtube video featuring Tangerine Dream using the PE-2000 to good effect: [below]. Also JM Jarre's Equinox Part 8 is nearly all done on a PE-2000. This keyboard is massive and heavy! It's about the size of a marshall 2x12 combo amplifier, but no need to worry because the shipping is free!"

2009 Optigan Disc: MINIMALISM feat. Tara Busch!

YouTube via peahix
"Now available for pre-order at http://www.optigan.com/shoptigan

Here's a hot new sound for the 1970s, straight from New York City! Mesmerizing musical kaleidoscopes throb from East Village loft windows and trendy art gallery doors, where less is definitely more More MORE! And you can be right there on the scene with the new Optigan Minimalism
program disc!

Your left hand conducts a tight ensemble of organ, flute, saxophones and bass clarinet- pulsing bass on the special effect tabs, and whirling arpeggios on the chord buttons. Your right hand plays vocal solfege melodies, sung for you by none other than Tara Busch of AnalogSuicide.com!

So fill up your glass and take a deep, satisfying gulp from the sonic ocean of Minimalism!


Performance Notes:

The Optigan Minimalism program disc was arranged specifically to allow for a large variety of extended harmonies by pressing two or more chord buttons simultaneously. For instance, holding down C Maj and E Min will produce a C Maj7 chord. G Maj and D Min combined will produce a G9
chord. Also, since the basslines on the special effects tabs contain no thirds, they can be used equally well in major or minor keys. Let your own imagination be your guide, and make your own kind of music!

Music arrangement and production by Pea Hicks
Vocal solfege scale sung and recorded by Tara Busch
Disc creation software, disc production cover artwork and jacket layout by Robert Becker

Using Youtube as a delay Unit; Experiment Part II

YouTube via RothHandle. And now we know what this means.
"An Experiment using Youtube as a random tempo delay unit for a modular sequence I posted last night. This could be used to create Reich like sequences and interesting rhythmic effects. I think it is a really interesting Idea. This might be old news for everyone else but I like it !

If you decide to use this this idea please drop me aline...Id love to hear the snowball in motion.

In this example the computer is going line out through the spring reverb in the modular system.

This film was shot at Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. For more info please visit www.roth-handle.nu"

Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio: Wormhole Voyage #1

YouTube via MrfixitRick

"This crystal radio in a jam jar is able to receive a computer screen-saver, and respond with rich real-time sound effects!

The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio's sensitive antennas pick up on the RF emanations of the screen. The crystal circuit delivers the audio signal to the computer, where software Audio Hijack Pro increases gain and alters the pitch in real time.

This screensaver example shows a journey across Hyperspace and back through wormholes. All sounds are generated in real-time by the radio.

The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio was a recent winner of the monthly Gadget Freak award by Design News, the oldest engineering news magazine.

See the article here: http://www.designnews.com/article/355...

The building instructions for this project are found at, http://www.instructables.com/id/Spook... Please vote for my Instructables there! (Thanks ;)

The real inspiration for the Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio comes from the BetaBlocker line of spirit radios made by EJ Gold and found at http://www.yoyodyneindustries.com

Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio

"Mrfixitrick shows a series of seven experiments with his Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio, a non-powered crystal radio circuit built in a jam-jar.

This simple crystal radio shows abilities such as: detecting lightning, making voice phenomena, interacting with all forms of light, creating music and sound effects, reading a computer screen, acting as a mike, and detecting RF pulses. In that order!

The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio is plugged directly into the iMac computer sound-in port. Audio Hijack Pro software provides the gain and real time sound effects based on the radio's input.

The radio's antennas are inspired by Tesla's higher voltage examples, and its basic LC circuit is similar to Tesla's original inductor coil and capacitor circuit schematics."

DRUMFIRE ANALOG DRUM SYNTH

via this auction
"includes the touch sensitive triggers that you can mount on your drums or whatever, you can even adjust the sensitivity to tap them with your fingers. Each of the 5 channels are the same with the following sound shaping parameters, sensitivity, osc decay, noise decay, sweep, pitch, osc/noise balance, click sound on/off, pan, volume. The trigger inputs can be triggered by pretty much any audio input, you can also chain channels together by running the out into the in of another to thicken the sound. Comes with the original box, instruction sheet, and 5 colored trigger cables. A nice collector's piece for those into the old school analog drum modules. Check out cykong's page on this instrument for some sound samples and more info"

Autonomous Bassline Generator - basic demo


"Basic demo of the features of the Autonomous Bassline Generator, a low-cost, hackable, deterministic sequencer + digital VCO + photo-sensitive analogue filter + PWM controlled LED. It also features IR connectivity, as seen in the last part of the video where two ABG's are beat sync'ed!

Available as a kit from http://www.4mspedals.com
and will be built at Handmade Music Austin's Nov 2009 workshop"

Autonomous Bassline Generator - IR sync demo


"HAIRNET stands for Hairnet Audio InfraRed NETwork, and is the platform of choice for Andromeda Space Rocker devices. With this simple protocol, a branching chain of drum/bass/lead modules can be sync'ed up (or run at their own tempos, of course).

Shown here are two ABG's in sync. The business card is used to break the IR beam
