MATRIXSYNTH

via eBay

"If you collect extreemly rare keyboards and synthisizers this is it !

This is a mint.. like new, ( 1985 ) never used Armonyx 8000 system ! The keyboard alone weighs over 32 lbs. The keyboard is made with extreem quality. It uses a light pen to draw your waveform and the light pen must use an RGB graphics card with light pen port on it. Yes that's right, we're talking XT DOS systems.

What a beautiful collectors item... for personal collectors or musems.

It comes with software, computer card, light pen, all cables, maunal, keyboard, custom sewn vinyl keyboard cover, in original box. ( box is over 4 1/2 feet long .)

I'm sure it all functions fine, but am selling "as is "... no returns.. the box is too big to shuffle around much. I'll double box it which will take some time.

The software should be good... but setting that many years in a box, I don't know if the sofware is still good on not. ( should be. )

This company was light years ahead of other systems when they intruducd this fantastic synthisizer. You could just draw any waveform you wished and imediately hear the sound you just created on the multi voice polyphonic keyboard.

Installation Requirments:
IBM-PC hardware and software compatibility.
At least 256K system RAM
IBM-PC color graphics adaptor or compatible.
1 5 1/4" floppy drive
10" X 4 1/4" minimum board space.
Dos 2.0 or higher

It notes that if you own a Tandy 1000 computer.. that it has a light pen port on the back of the computer. Other wise, you'll have to make sure your RGB card supports light pen port.

SHIPPING: This thing is heavy and large box. $60.00 on shipping within upper 48 states, Email me if you live else where for a quote.

Happy bidding on this extremely rare keyboard."

Jungle of art (Doepfer Dark Energy + Behringer DD600 + Audacity)

YouTube via GruithuisenCityMan — April 26, 2010 — "Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made with a Doepfer Dark Energy echoed by a Behringer Digital Delay DD600 effect pedal. The all thing has been made in one take and has been a bit edited with Audacity (compression and short stereo delay added). Enjoy !"

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."
