Electronic Musical Instruments: What They Do, How They Work

via this auction
"'Electronic Musical Instruments: What They Do, How They Work' by Larry Kettlekamp
Printed in 1984. Hardcover.

"Larry Kettlekamp shows how synthesizers, electronic organs, computer rhythm units, sound processors, and other electronic instruments were developed; how they work and are played; what they are capable of doing; and how they are being used in concerts and recordings."

Nice old ex-library book about synthesizers and other electronic musical instruments. Lots of nice black and white pictures of gear such as the Minimoog, Korg Polysix, Moog Opus 3 , Moog Liberation, Polymoog, Roland TB-303, Yamaha CS-01, and more. Nice picture of Bob Moog with a Moog Modular, Minimoog, Sonic 6, and accessories, worth the price of the book alone!"

Boss Dr Pad

via this auction

"Classic 80s Boss drum pad/module/synth. Also known as Dr. Pad 1
Works fine but runs better with a Boss power supply than with 9v batteries.

2 x 80s digital gated snares plus tambourine, hand claps, cymbal and timpani. Variable sweep with time and range, decay (note length) pitch sensitivity and pitch allow for quite a lot of tweakability. Variable level output and sensitivity controls on the back panel. You can trigger from external sources via the trigger in.

Play with a virtual version here to hear the basic sounds - the actual unit can vary and bend the sounds much more."

Lost In Time by TSF

YouTube via TheSynthFreq | August 13, 2010

"Hi :)
Here is my new song written today. This song is a "draft" that will be completed and re-uploaded once a few parts are finalized.
The Roland Alpha Juno-1 is controlled by Midi so that its bass patch is controlled by the EMX-1 and timing is precise.
To sequence the bass line, I played the Juno-1 (out to in of the EMX) and recorded it to the EMX. From there I turned the volume down on the [synth] part [1] so that the Juno is the only synth heard, not the EMX.
Another new sound that I wrote on the EMX [synth part 4], is "spaced" sound using the random LFO routed to the pitch of the oscillators in the EMX and the FX send is set to delay/echo.
D-50- a new patch I wrote for it, that is warmer and has more saturation of chorus and reverb through it. T5 of the TVA has been set to T5=65, for the ADSR.

Please enjoy! :)

:) TSF"
