Andy Wig - EML Symmetrical

YouTube via arthurpainter | June 24, 2010 | 3:07

"Another improv using vintage equipment from my EML arsenal. This time it's the EML 400 Sequential Synthesizer, a rare and wonderful bundle of potential surprises. This particular piece utilizes a textural loop previously created with the above machinery, and a live sequence that cycles through its murky chant."

Roland RS09 analog string/organ

via this auction

"The RS-09 is an analog string and organ synthesizer (similar to the Saturn-09 which only produced an organ sound). The string sound and organ sounds are nice, fatty analog sounds. The organ and string sections can be played simultaneously or individually. An ensemble/chorus effect and external sound input are cool features. Its light weight, portable, and easy to use.

There are three versions of this unit. This one is the V.1. The differences are cosmetic and in the control surface; the V.3 uses touch-switches, the V.1 uses rockers and tends to be more reliable due to that."

AirPipes 1.3 Highland Chanter Fingerings Demo

YouTube via tradlessons | June 24, 2010 | 1:43

"AirPipes is a wireless MIDI bagpipes control surface for the iPad.

All the sounds you hear in the video are from external devices being controlled by the iPad over WiFi. The app does not make any sound on its own. The app is extremely responsive and has nearly zero latency controlling the external MIDI devices.

Version 1.3 adds an option for Scottish Highland chanter fingerings. Previously, the app only supported Uilleann chanter fingerings, which are quite different.

Here are two examples of using the new Highland fingering option, the first controlling the "Studio Piper" Software VST synthesizer available from:

http;//www.epipes.co.uk

The second example shows controlling a Roland JV-1080 hardware synthesizer set to an ethnic flute patch.

Version 1.3 will be a free update to all current owners of AirPipes.

Bus Powered Access Virus TI + Nord Modular g1 25 Synth

via this auction

""Everybody serious in the electronic music scene knows that the Virus and Nord sound cannot be achieved through software plugins alone"
--
Up for sale is my completed synth project.

Technical Notes:

In a nutshell, the combo is comprised of the following 3 main parts :

1 Novation 25 key SL mkII
1 Clavia Nord Micro Modular
1 Access Virus TI Snow

All parts have been soldered and mounted together inside the novation shell:

the micro modular and the TI snow receive power from the fw800 bus.

(you no longer have to plug them into the wall!)

unlesss you want to of course, all orignal power sockets are intact and accessable from the outside so you can still use wall wart power if you prefer.. the [audio out] of the micro modular is hardwired to the [audio in] of the TI snow. I also left the four micro modular 1/4" jacks accesable so you can plug input the mm voncoder or output the raw mm signal. the midi ports of the micro modular are hardwired to the midi ports of the novation. All original Virus TI Snow and Nord Modular jacks are accessible from the back of the synth (as seen in photo 6) also as you can see from the photo 1 , the main virus volume knob is routed to the upper right hand corner. I also swapped out blue for red on the novation scribble strip. so in total the synth requires 3 cords/ports to operate: 1 FW800 cable for power 1 USB port for novation SL/mkII and micro modular 1 USB port for the Virus TI Snow Also included are original cases and parts for the TI Snow and Nord Micro."
