AHNE 2010 by stretta

AHNE 2010 from stretta on Vimeo.

"AHNE (analog heaven northeast) is the annual gathering of analog synthesizer enthusiasts around the Boston area. The event is a unique opportunity to touch and hear many unique, rare and beautiful instruments.

This video was captured using a Canon 5DmkII with the 100mm f/2.8 macro and 50mm f/1.4 lenses. Edited using After Effects.

The music is a short section from an as-yet-unreleased long-form composition realized entirely on a modular synthesizer. If you would like more information about this piece, please visit my blog at stretta.com."

Novation Drum+Bass Station (rack) - jas_review002

YouTube via unklekarma — September 23, 2008 — "(JAS_review002)

via this auction

Another review video from justastudio
The Novation Bass Station was tracked through Joe Meek ThreeQ and Novation Drumstation tracked through RNC1773, recorded using TC konnekt8 and edited in Cubase.

These two machines are awesome! Why? Price, use and sound. Its fairly cheap, you get additional connections for your vintage equipment and if you just tweak it a bit differently
But then again I must admit that the dry sound didnt fall into my taste, so I added some external effects. Furtermore I added some pad sounds.

Part 1 - Cubase edit
Pad sound Dominator (PAD-Sculptoris-RJ)
Novation Drumstation Standard Reverb A from Cubase almost no wet sound. Some compression.
Novation Bass Station Stereo Delay (BPM sync), Reverb A (Default) and some compression.

Part 2 Cubase edit
Pad sound Dominator (KEY-ProSoloist-RJ)
Novation Drumstation Standard Reverb A from Cubase, dirty distortion. Some compression.
Novation Bass Station Stereo Delay (BPM sync), Reverb A (Default) and some compression.

Notice that all effectsn sounds are more or less templates/defaults. Thats on purpose you need little knowledge to add some kind of thickness to the sound.
Live clicks and sounds do occur occasionally the sound from the camera is present some times.

Roland DG CMU-810

via this auction

"The CMU-810 is a module similar to the SH-101, they share many functions and have a similar character, but the CMU has a bassier oscillator and a slightly sharper envelope, this is my opinion after playing with both units first hand. Both units use the CEM 3340 oscillator and the famous Roland IR309 filter... It's a perfect match to an analogue sequencer or as an expander to a SH-101 or just to use with a MIDI-CV as it's very compact!"
