Although the MEGA DWARF with its many useful functions as an extension for the KRAFTZWERG or analog modular systems was designed, it is also an independent synths with a full sound production. Its ten sections can be used either in combination or singly werden.Hier an overview of the sections of the MEGA DWARF: The oscillator has the waveforms triangle, sawtooth and square. He can vote with a Tune-trimmer than + / - one octave, and are played on the CV input via a sequencer or keyboard. The output is internally connected to the input of the ring modulator. The ring modulator, which is in contrast to KRAFTZWERG ring modulator analogous structure, may have also used separately for two external signals werden.Das 12 dB multimode filter, state-variable) on operating low-, band-and high-pass and notch (band stop. The response can be to regulate the oscillation. The cutoff frequency and resonance can be modulated via the CV inputs. Also can be done through Key follow a pitch-dependent opening of the filter, this function is internal with the Key CV or MIDI pitch verbunden.Die envelope has five phases: Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain and Release. In addition to the normal operating mode, the envelope can be looped over the first three phases, as long as a gate signal is. Thereafter, the envelope fades on release. In this section, is also housed a simple VCA, which acts as a CV-controllable audio output of the DWARF MEGA. The envelope signal is generated internally to the CV input of the VCA verbunden.Das 12-bit digital delay echo effect, not only simple but may change via a regulator or CV control the readout speed in an area of about two octaves. In addition, there is a freeze function, frozen with the effect signal can be endlessly reproduced. Send and return on another module, conceived as a filter or a ring modulator, ingrained in the Feedbackweg werden.de modulation sequencer is designed for simple, rhythmic modulations and can generate an adjustable pattern of two, three or four steps. Each step has determined its own regulator of the CV value. The pace can be set on the sequencer itself, or specified via the clock input werden.Die Dual Glide section offers two independent delay units with different characteristics. This can for example the steps of the modulation sequencer smoothed or portamento generated werden.Die two dual attenuator attenuator section not only allow a limited level of audio and control signals, but also act as a CV source. If the input is not patched, is an output control voltage output of up to 8 V. Thus for example can the maximum speed of the LFO KRAFTZWERG increased or the pulse width of the VCO at a specific value to constant change werden.de mixer has three inputs, which are regulated only inputs 1 and 2 can along the two multiples can be doubled CV and audio signals or triple. Useful if for example an LFO two or three goals simultaneously modulate signaling soll.Der VCO-VCF-VCA and the VCA Hüllkurvensteuerung are internally pre-wired, so that the MEGA DWARF can be played directly. All other used compounds are produced on the patch jacks, and can contain from MEGA DWARF itself and from external devices, or driven from werden.de MEGA DWARF has dimensions of 310 x 165 x 38/72 mm. The scope of supply includes the power adapter."

Veronica Vasicka

via Mayor Sonny Bono

via VodPod:
"Veronica Vasicka is a photographer, musician, DJ and founder of the epic record label and on-line music resource Minimal Wave. As one of the founding members of East Village Radio, she managed the station during its pirate days and began collecting obscure and long forgotten gems that fell somewhere between the Cold Wave, Post Punk and Minimal Synth genres. Not knowing what to classify these bands as, she coined the genre Minimal Wave and set up the website Minimalwave.org as an online resource to share her finds with the rest of the world. The response to the website was huge and shortly after its launch, Veronica began tracking these artists down and re-issuing their work on the Minimal Wave label. Most of these bands recorded extremely limited copies of their work in their basements and shared their work with the world via John Peel's radio show and a handful of underground music mailings. The music released on the label is a stripped down, DIY and purer approach to mainstream synth pop. Never-the-less, fans of New Wave acts, and bands like Kraftwerk, New Order, and Joy Division who are seeking something a bit different or looking to expand upon the familiar genre, will not be disappointed. In addition to running Minimal Wave, Veronica launched the Cititrax label as way to expose newer synth-based act as well as obscure House and Italo classics. She DJs bi-monthly around New York City and every Sunday night on her East Village Radio show, Minimal Electronik Plus."

"Minimal Wave: both a genre of underground DIY electronic music from North America and Europe in the late 1970s and 80s, and the name of the label devoted to unearthing these recordings. The Minimal Wave Tapes is the first official anthology (on CD, LP and digital) of Minimal Wave music from this label. Most of the songs were originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. They’ve been remastered from their analog source tapes and compiled here by Minimal Wave's Veronica Vasicka and Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf. The double LP version is now exclusively available via Stones Throw and Minimal Wave. Purchase it here. Now available on CD. Release date world: January 26, 2010."

Heavy Wood Improv 019 Op.4166: Fool's Gold: the Alaska Overture [Ode to Electone] E-70

"by vamping on some UK and Supertramp, came up with this new composition that fuses the two ideas behind "Alaska" and "Fool's Overture"
Found this E-70 for $150 locally. Finding that the Yamaha E-70 home organ is a very inspirational (and fun) music making machine. Everyone should have one. Some assembly required. Well, not really. Just heavy. You need two or three good friends, including one with a small truck or large van. Heavy. But fun."

"Freeez was a UK dance music group from London, initially known for its emergence as one of the UK's leading jazz-funk bands of the early 1980s. Founded by John Rocca, Freeez consisted of various musicians, originally with Rocca and other members such as Andy Stennet (keyboards, Peter Maas (bass) and Paul Morgan or Everton Mcalla (drums).

Custom white Moogs.

"Keyboardist/Songwriter Gary Wright performing "Love Is Alive" on the Midnight Special TV show, 1976. Featuring a young Steve Porcaro {keyboards for TOTO, Michael Jackson, Herb Alpert, Pablo Cruise, Brothers Johnson, etc.} on synthesizers along with rockin' ladies on cowbell + tambourine ;-) Awesome Minimoog bass. Enjoy this great song from the 70's decade of musical innovation & legendary songwriting."

Update via Brandon: "Looks like a [Oberheim] TVS-1 in Pocaro's rig, too. And a white painted ARP SE-IV in the other guy's rig."
