Pics, words and audio on The B-Roll

"Today's thing of the day is a modular patch that uses the A-156 Dual Quantizer with the plan B analog shift register."

Plan B Model 7 Panner/Xfader and Model 21C Mini Milton

via
Update via Erik, spotted on Muff's:
"Please notice the campy Milton Babbitt image [below]. The 21C is a fully functional Milton sequencer, albeit only one bank of eight out of the shoot. It's intention was however to create a low-cost option for having two sequential sources which I feel to be important and addresses something that popped up in the second rising of analog - 1 sequencer per system is fine. It's not! But we could not help but including the option of expansion and the unit ships with the code to support an expansion both vertically (more banks) or horizontally (more steps, up to 16) and both at once. When the page goes up a schematic will be provided for those who want to DIY the (very) simple expansion units, although they will be released as products in short time. You'll notice three jumpers on the engine board - these will route the operation to either 8 or 16 steps. The output of the 16 steps will be present at the main (master) output jack."
And on the Panner: "He showed me a panner too, an ELF one which can be used as a crossfader also and a switch when controlled by a gate signal. It's really sweet and the panning is great. Pete was telling me to point to the sound and I could. I've tried this with MAX it's not easy. It's not linear or exp. because none of these will get you the -3 down in the center... A passive panner could also be a crossfader. Vactrols will allow for gating and a passive signal path."

Update: It's worth noting in the Muff Wiggler thread, Peake volunteered to give Peter Grenader a hand soldering. I'm guessing this is Mike Peake, the main voice and driving force behind development of the Alesis Adromeda A6.

It´s called "Der Barde" (the minstrel), taken from my own "Hoellenengel" album (which was performed on a CS80 almost completely)."

"A noisy improv using my Vostok Modular Synth, my Postcard Weevil and an EH Memory Man (both unseen). No, this isn't dance music. It's much closer to Action Painting."

Flame MIDI Talkin Synth

via this auction

"The FLAME MIDI TALKING SYNTH is a small-sized MIDI-controlled sound module based on the analogue Speakjet ™ chip, produced by the U.S. company Magnevation LLC. Originally designed for basic artificially generated speech output in American English tongue it was then refined and further developed as an 8-bit sound module with speech-like sounds and synthetic robot voices as well as beeps, alarms, noise and retro-style sci-fi sounds. Due to the structure of the Speakjet ™ (with its complex sound synthesizer, preset sounds and serial interface) it offers an impressive range of possibilities. It contains 72 speech elements (allophones), 43 sound effects, and 12 DTM touch tones. The idea was to create sounds, patterns and sequences in the 8-bit style of the 80s or other retro sounds for making music instead of just simulating speech. Most allophones can be tuned and used tonally. The FLAME MIDI TALKING SYNTH contains two Speakjet ™ chips to produce a richer and more complex tonal variety as well as generating a pseudo stereo effect.

Since the Speakjet ™ has not originally been laid out for the purpose of making music it is actually not fully controllable via MIDI input, i.e.: once sounds are triggered they cannot be directly stopped by Note Off messages from a MIDI keyboard or a sequencer. Thus a MIDI-controlled audio tremolo has been implemented in the FLAME MIDI TALKING SYNTH virtually allowing MIDI control and enabling an easier integration into a MIDI setup. The FLAME MIDI TALKING SYNTH lets you play back preset words in its EXPANDER mode via an external MIDI keyboard or a sequencer. In addition you can use the FLAME MIDI TALKING SYNTH as a stand-alone MIDI controller since all controls and joysticks send MIDI control/change data to the MIDI-OUT connector."

AHNE 2010

Analogue Heaven Northeast 2009 from stretta on Vimeo.

Full details on AHNE 2010 here.
"Once a year, analog synth enthusiasts gather to socialize and play rare and unusual musical instruments. I captured the May 2009 gathering with a Canon 5DmkII and a 50mm f/1.4 lens. I simply sat the Camera on a tripod, frame the shot as I would a photo, focused and captured.

The music was produced using a Euro-format analog modular, controlled by Volta. Aside from the drums (MOTU BPM), everything was analog."
