"I enjoyed myself very much with the toy. Although operation is difficult for nintendo DS (KORG DS-10), various music can be performed according to a device. It is a very pleasant musical instrument."

"Hi,I love tiny electronic musical instruments.I think that KORG monotron is one of the most atrocious synthesizer.It is very difficult to perform a pitch correctly.I performed the melody on this synthesizer. however,It seems that the tone-deaf completely singer has sung!"

New comment on TOM CAMERON - Music to Wash Dishes By - Update

See the update in this post.

"My name is Tom Cameron and I would like to explain what is going on in the picture on the back cover of my old album 'Music To Wash Dishes By'. I was pleasantly surprised to see the album profiled and transcribed in the Matrixsynth Blog. The synthesizers (EML 101, EML 4004/401) and the Shure Vocal Master powered mixer were correctly identified as was the location of the performance...

There is a white headband that I am wearing which contains three electrodes which are monitoring my brain waves using a biofeedback machine...

This allows me to use the feedback voltage to control the synthesizers without the risk of a ground loop frying my brain. The control voltage of about five volts was then used to control the pitch and filters of the EML 101 and also advance step by step the sequencer on the EML 4004/401. The result was that I could control and play the synthesizers with brain waves alone..."

Automatic alien drone (Doepfer Dark Energy + Boss SYB-5)

The music has been made with a Doepfer Dark Energy, a Boss Bass Synthesizer SYB-5, a Boss Digital Delay DD-2 and a Behringer Digital Delay DD600 effect pedal. The all thing has been made in one take and has not been edited. Enjoy !"

MIDIbox SEQ V4 and BLM16x16+X Prototype

YouTube via ucapps — May 15, 2010 — "MBSEQ V4 remote controlled by my new Button/Duo-LED matrix prototype.

The frontpanel hasn't been created yet, and it's difficult to push the mini buttons without button caps. But playing with this toy is already a lot of fun! :)

The BLM firmware is running on a dedicated PIC based core module and communicates with MBSEQ via MIDI. The optimized protocol is fast enough to achieve high refresh rates between 350 fps (if only a single line is changed) and 20 fps (if all 512 LEDs are changed)."

Ran Kirlian - Farewell (MS2000 Trio)

YouTube via RanKirlian — May 15, 2010 — "This is the last video about the Korg MS2000 series. It is a mix from 3 recording sessions involving the same sound: one of them was recorded months ago while the other two were recorded one day before selling the synth. After listem to them and find them so similar in structure, tone and feeling, I just tried to mix them together and found it nice as a good bye to the synth. All of the takes starts with the same sound but evolves to different stages."

"Yesterday I received the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer and Q962 sequential switch modules. Fitted the modules in the empty cabinet and started playing around: this is awesome! Today I tried shifting the Q960 from the Doepfer MAQ16/3 and it works great; the gate of row 3 of the MAQ16/3 controls id fed to the shift input of the Q960. Row 1 of the MAQ16/3 has an 8-step sequence for the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which is fed to the Resonant LoPass Gate. Row 2 of the MAQ16/3 has also an 8-step sequence for the self-built Modular. Row 2 of the Q960 controls the Synthesizers.com Modular. The drum sounds are from the Zoom RhythmTrak RT-323 which is synchronized by the MAQ16/3 via MIDI. The VP-330 strings are performed on the Roland XP-80, the bass on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and some additional chords on the Waldorf Q Keyboard."
