Largo Sunday Tracks via Stefan Trippler

via Stefan on the Waldorf list:

"http://www.trippler.net/files/largo115/backlash.mp3

That's just one "auto-playing" 4 layer patch, controlled with modwheel,
aftertouch and pitchbender.
Not very useful, but funny anyway.

And now that it's snowing here, three fitting cold Largo sounds:

and an advent arp:

Nice sunday all."

Chaos Matrix Programmer Official Site

follow up to this video.

You can find full details on the project here.

"Chaos Matrix is a programmer for an Oberheim Matrix 1000 analog synthesizer built by Patrick Manderson. It's capable of manipulating all 126 voice parameters including 10 programmable matrix modulations buses, ramp generators, 5 point tracking generator, 3 five stage envelopes, 2 oscillators, 2 LFOs, and much more.

It features edit buffer synchronization for visual feedback and inspection of all Matrix 1000 voices parameters, patch compare, patch init, advanced performance options for some parameters as well as containing all 1000 original patch names. Seeing patch names instead of numbers alone, makes it a lot easier to remember your favorites.

Chaos Matrix is currently a work in progress and is nearly complete. It was built with help from the MBHP (MidiBox Hardware Project) using the MIOS operating system. It uses 1 DIN module, 1 AIN module, 1 DOUT module and 1 core with a PIC18F4620 microprocessor along with a custom application built with the C skeleton interface."

Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Guide by Anu Kirk

Spotted this one via this auction

"Fully operational & in excellent condition with power adaptor and manual. The manual isn't very informative and I strongly suggest all owners of the Evolver to read this guide:

[The Definitive Guide to the Evolver]
http://www.carbon111.com/evolverguide.pdf

Features:
* Monstrous four oscillator voice architecture.
* True stereo signal path with separate Curtis analog low-pass filters in each channel.
* Dedicated onboard effects (feedback, delay, distortion, high-pass filter, etc.).
* 16 x 4 step sequencer really brings the Evolver to life with evolving “pseudo-polyphonic” sounds – you won’t believe it's mono!
* Stereo audio input for audio processing of external stereo or mono signals, enabling the synth to act as a unique stereo effects processor.
* Everything (sequencer, LFOs, and delay) syncs perfectly to MIDI.
* Easy-to-navigate matrix-style interface for quick editing and real-time control of 8 parameters simultaneously.
* Multiple Evolvers can be daisy-chained for more polyphony."

NINE INCH NAILS Oberheim OB-8 Synthesizer NIN

via this auction

For those new to the site or find this in the archives, note this is not my auction. Please do not send any inquiries to me. Send them to the seller.

Auction Details:

"You are bidding on an Oberheim OB-8 bought from the Nothing Studios equipment sell off in 2001. This actual synthesizer was owned by NIN and won legitimately by myself from the auctions in late January 2001. It is autographed next to the mod/pitch toggles and includes the studio manual.

I corresponded with a studio employee handling the auctions by phone and asked not to release the phone number, which was designated a New Orleans area code. Here is a link to a Seems Like Salvation web post with an official announcement of the Ebay items up for bids, including the Oberheim OB-8... http://www.nineinchnails.net/news/jan01/012501-02.html. I also recently messaged former NIN band member Danny Lohner on MySpace and he confirmed remembering the 2001 auctions and specifically the Oberheim OB-8 being put up for sale.

ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT FACT TO NOTE ON THIS SYNTH'S AUTHENTICITY... The manual has a phone number jotted down with what appears to be "S/R LA." Sound recording L.A.? Studio recording L.A.? Along with this is a number which has an area code and prefix that I did a background/reverse phone directory lookup on. Two seperate parties were assigned this number, who just so happened to be located within 5-7 miles of Trent's infamous Cielo Dr. studio (where Charles Manson and his followers murdered Sharon Tate). Chances are, this actual synthesizer sat in that house while recording Broken and The Downward Spiral.

I DO NOT REPRESENT NIN.COM AND I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH THEIR STUDIO LIQUIDATION SALE. I am simply taking advantage of their equipment auctions to sell this Oberheim OB-8 originally intended to be kept and passed onto my children. As the economy has taken a nosedive, I am now in dire need of cash to handle bills, so I am using this rare occasion to market the Oberheim for maximum exposure to die hard NIN fans.

About the unit. It is in good condition, but ABOUT THREE OF THE MIDDLE OCTAVE KEYS WORK INTERMITTENTLY WHEN PRESSED. In other words, if the Oberheim is triggered by an external MIDI keyboard, every note will work just fine; but somewhere along the line, a majority of the keys in the middle octaves started working partially (only when pressed quickly). Again, all the notes sound perfect if triggered from an external MIDI keyboard, but only work intermittently if triggered from the Oberheim keys. This could be a minor issue involving the contacts underneath, but I am not an analog expert so this item is sold AS-IS. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS. Why would you want one anyhow? This was Trent Reznor's synthesizer.

The sounds on this board are extremely textured and rich. There are superb pads and leads on here. I'm guessing this was used somewhere in Pretty Hate Machine, but it's impossible to confirm. The actual size of the unit is monstruous. It weighs over 50 pounds and measures approximately 2 feet x 4.5 feet. If you're looking for a piece of NIN history that is larger than life, this is it!

Buyer pays $125.00 shipping. Like I said, this thing is huge. I will ship only within the continental U.S. (lower 48 states). Good luck bidding!"

Sold For: US $2,100.00
