1Song1Week1Year - Week 26 - Cube

YouTube via DJDJSMusic | June 26, 2010 | 3:46

"Week 26 in my 1Song1Week1Year project to write one new song each week for the year 2010.
I don't don't know if this song is half way, because it is the end of the second quarter, or if last week was half way as it was week 25 of 50. But either way it feels like I am just starting out. And I am still discovering new stuff to sample and make music with. I know I still have a lot to learn."

"vintage 1976 Godwin Guitar Organ made by Sisme. Considered the absolute premier “Guitorgan,” this 13-knob/19-switch version is the more deluxe of the two manufactured in Italy for Godwin in the mid-1970’s. While those fortunate enough to have heard a working Godwin guitorgan respect it as the most authentic organ-emulating guitar (sounding nearly identical to a Hammond B3), it also offers beautiful sounds completely unique to such an incredibly advanced instrument. Essentially an electronic organ re-arranged and manipulated to fit within a guitar, normal Univox/Musiconics Guitorgan just don't compare. This beyond rare guitar organ is virtually inaccessible, and is rarely offered for sale anywhere. Other examples have sold for well over $6,000, so take advantage of this reasonable Buy it Now auction, and add this to your collection.

This particular example is in very excellent all original condition. It is in perfect working condition, and includes: the original expression pedal, an original instrument cable, all of the original paperwork (complete schematics and operations manual), and the original oversized case. There are no other known examples which include the original schematic, which is a valuable essential to understanding and maintaining the Godwin if necessary. Remarkably, the Godwin guitorgan is capable of functioning as an organ or traditional guitar independent of one another. It features a 5 pin connector output for the control pedal, and a normal ¼” output for the typical guitar output. With Italian-inspired cosmetic appointments, the detail to sonic quality was equally matched by the tuxedo black and silver sparkle faux sound holes. The control panel was designed to be both attractive and intuitive. Typical of Italian artistry, the design of this instrument incorporated both form and function.

The guitar is all original, and features: original Schaller tuning machines, the original “G” tailpiece, all original knobs, all original switches with corresponding colored tips, and all other miscellaneous chrome hardware. The guitar plays amazingly well. The neck profile is an open soft C-shape neck profile, with very comfortable action. The neck is perfectly straight, and all of the segmented frets are in excellent condition. With better playability than any guitar we currently have in stock, it is very easy to play super fast organ-inspired melodies. There are small chips near the bottom of the fingerboard, which appear to have been repaired."

Rare Vivace MIDI Auto Accompany MIDI Synthesizer

via this auction

"When hooked up to a MIDI keyboard individual,(and stunning!), solo instrument voices can be played back. I haven't been able to figure out how the auto-accompany features work. There is a cartridge slot and its my guess that the unit needs one of these style cartridges for the auto features to work."

Update via CapnLockheed in the comments: Thanks for featuring my auction of this Vivace unit. I have recently discovered a bunch of ROM cartridges for this unit and am now offering them for sale on eBay.

Cheers.....Cristofe

Roland Sh-101 Nova Mod

via this auction
"Modifications are:
1) Filter input with volume attenuation knob (run your other synths through the classic Roland filter!! the filter overdrives like nobodies business and sounds really really swell)
2) Filter CV input (control the filter with your favorite analog synth or other CV gear!)
3) Filter FM CV input (you won't find this very often, it's a second CV input for filter control so you can get your FM on!)
4) PWM source selector (Change what type of PWM you have, basically gives you a very wide range of new tones)
5) LFO rate switch LOW/MED/ULTRA FAST (ultra fast lfo makes some really *&^%ed up sounds!)"

BitStream Pro MIDI Controller

via this auction

"This knobby Doepfer-like controller is one of the best controllers ever hit the market and is extremely rare. This model has much finer encoders than the newer version, 3X... Having 35 knobs, 8 sliders, and 8 push buttons, with 3 user programs and in total 144 assignable controllers, this gem gives you more than what you can wish for. It can be used with virtually any hardware or software synth responding to MIDI and all its encoders are programmable. Being rack mountable, makes this beauty even more practical." more info here
