Homebuild Synth 7 - Peripherals

YouTube via organfairy — April 08, 2010 — "This is the final chapter of my little mini modular synthesizer building project. I make some usefull-but-not-crucial modules: A pedal, a PWM unit, an amplifier, and a power distribution system.

Again the music in this video is made on the Elka X-1000 organ - this time with a little help from the Technics SX-C600."

Software Klee Updates

via dnigrin in this electro-music.com thread.

"I thought I would give an update on where things stand with the new v2 version of the software - most of the new features I will include are coded, and now I am just wrestling with a few bugs and details, and then on to beta testing. I also have to fully update the docs. Here's the listing of what's coming in this version, as well as a few screenshots...

* new VST instrument hosting - route MIDI externally, or internally to virtual instruments (or mix of both) * new A-B output * LEDs to switches, for A, B, or A&B * constrain output notes to specific scale * output chord based on root note - user can specify up to 6 pitches in chord, plus root note * can reverse direction to R to L, instead of L to R * external load via MIDI or audio input * MIDI CC control for virtually all UI controls I plan to demo this version at the upcoming Analogue Heaven Northeast event on April 25: http://stretta.com/ahne/2010/ Also - one little tidbit that made my day: for the 80's Industrial fans out there, cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy is a software Klee user (and hardware too) - see his quote at http://defectiverecords.com/klee/index2.html" click here for all posts featuring the software Klee including video.

Mystery KORG

Anyone ID this KORG?

via ultratendance

Update via abducted in the comments:
"hello,
nathanscribe (on vintagesynth.com forum) has all the details :

'It's a Korg LP-10 Electronic Piano. They were out around '81 I think.

There are 3 presets: Piano, Clav and E.P., which can be mixed together (on/off only, not variable level) - there are three sustain modes (gate, decay and release, basically) and a knob for the decay rate. There's a strange stepped slider for pitch control - you can shift the whole keyboard up to an octave up in semitones - and there's a 6-band EQ. Probably the best sounds use the built-in chorus, which has an on/off switch and rate control. It's pretty sweet, if a touch noisy.

There's not much interfacing - phones out, high/low mono out, and damper pedal input - I did see one with an extra socket on eBay once, but the owner had no idea what it was for. The LP-10 does have built-in speakers but they're a bit crappy.

It's pretty basic and cheap, the keyboard is synth-style and not weighted in any way; it sounds nice through proper speakers with a touch of reverb. Goes well with a stringer.'"

VINTAGE ARP OMNI-2 49 KEY ANALOG SYNTH

via this auction

"HERE IS SOME INFO FROM ARP
The Omni keyboards are string synthesizers with four separate voices (bass, cello, viola, violin, each independently switchable) and a bass/synthesizer section. The string section has its own variable speed LFO, and attack/release envelopes. The synthesizer section has a VCF and its own ADSR envelope. The bass/synthesizer split is set to the lower one and a half octaves.

The Omni (model 2300) was ARP's best selling intstrument. Unlike the original, the Omni-2 has single triggering so that when any note is held down the VCF and VCA envelopes will not re-trigger. The original Omni had multiple triggering so that every time a key was depressed the envelopes were triggered."

i9 03.20.2010 (Arturia Moog Modular V)

YouTube via infinite9ths — April 08, 2010 — "Re-upped on 04.08.2010 - softened some video effects that were too harsh.

Listen to more music from infinite9ths at http://www.infinite9ths.com

i9 03.20.2010 was recorded using the Arturia Moog Modular V 2 software synthesizer with a Kurzweil SP76 Stage Piano as

a MIDI controller onto a Tascam SX-1 LE Digital Production Environment utilizing 4 stereo tracks before mastering to

stereo.

The visualizations were created using the Ryan Geiss MilkDrop plug-in through the Winamp player.

I'm working on some more music that will follow within the next few weeks.

Thanks for watching and listening."
