Prey (good audio)

YouTube via dkimcg | July 12, 2010

"99% the same patch as the Fibonacci patch, but this time clocked by the Elektron Monomachine with Machinedrum playing along. The rest of the cables are the same, but some modified knob settings.

Phasing and some light gain courtesy of guitar pedals. Drenched in Eventide reverb, and all live as usual.

Reminds me of 80's movie stalking music from a dramedy cop movie, a la Running Scared, BH Cop, 48Hrs, etc. Just needs some funky bass lines."

Malcolm Cecil Live with Spitznagel and Trevor Pinch July 17

"OTP is both honored & thrilled to present An Evening In the Company of the Joy Circuits featuring TONTO’s Expanding Head Band pioneer Malcolm Cecil, in his first U.S. performance in over 30 years, along with aural sculptors Spitznagel & Trevor Pinch...

For his OTP debut, Cecil will not only bring a number of the original TONTO synth modules but his trusty upright bass as well, all of which to bring forth a stunning hybrid of keyboard virtuosity, 70s synth-jazz, and his own brand of post-classical-flavored electronic music."

See One Thousand Pulses for the full details. If anyone makes this, send in some pics.

"Welcome to Yip-Yip's Audible Archive!

This is a demo of the Muson Synthesizer, a mini organ with a built in sequencer, created in 1978 by Mego Corp.

The keys play just over an octave of whole notes. The colored pegs above the keys operate the built-in sequencer. Each color represents a note on the keyboard. For more information about this synthesizer, please visit http://audiblearchive.blogspot.com"

Korg Minikorg 700

via this auction
"There has been one modification done to it by the previous owner in the late 70s: a 1/8 jack socket has been installed on the back panel which runs to the inside someplace and provides access to pitch bend DOWN ONLY beyond the standard range. A small project box with an ON/OFF switch and a pot/knob can be plugged in here to achieve this bend down. It has no affect on normal operation and plugging it in is entirely optional. If I recall, there is a slight pitch shift either when the plug is in place or when switched on - I don't recall which, and this can be easily offset with the normal tuning slider. He told me he did this so he could pitch bend down without detuning the synth. It may be able to be modified to provide more options, such as bending up also, but these are questions for the new owner to ponder.

-Output has been changed to a 1/4" jack (from rca)
-Input has been changed to 1/4" and is now routed to the filter of filtering external sounds
-The polyphonic section now has its own output on 1/4" jack
-The filter's frequency can now be controller by an external CV input (on 1/4" as well)
-The envelope can now be routed to the osc 2 frequency for AMAZING SYNC SWEEPS!!!
