Phantasmagoric Lucite Organ and Speakers by Wersi

via 1stdibs. Spotted and sent in via Brian Kehew: "Look at this thing! From the controls, it may be similar to the Condor/Kondor Wersi made in the 80s, a pretty hip synth. No price, I think you make an offer...."

Words fail to describe the awesomeness of this piece! Made in 1970 by Wersi Electronics, it is one of only 5 ever made. Reportedly its cost in 1970 was over $100,000.

The Delta Digital DX500 organ comes replete with all manuals, control panel templates, music stand, amplified speakers, lucite dollies, pedal board, adjustable bench and chromed keys. And it works beautifully!!!

Update via organfairy: "This Wersi organ is not from the 1970's. It was part of a series with Alpha, Beta (made famous by Klaus Wunderlich), Gamma, and this Delta model. It is from 1984 or 85 and is all digital.
The reason why somebody think it is from the 1970's is probably that it looks very much like the Wersi Saturn that came out in 1976. It was also wide but slim and on two chromed pillars.

Update: word is Daft Punk picked up this clear plexi glass organ.  You can see it featured in Mixmag here.

Squidfanny - Circuit Bent YAMAHA DD-50 Drum machine

"An astonishing array of excellent digital Glitch sounds.

DD-50 Professional MIDI Drum machine, with Reverb, MIDI, Bass/Backing, Record/Sequencer.

Circuit bent reverb (Reverb to Ring Mod).
Descrete metal botl-bay.
6 x Toggle switches and 2 x 12 way rotary switches for selecting Glitches. This interface provides greatest access to Glitches, while using least possible amount of the limited space inside the machine.

Each Glitch will generate a new kit of Glitched drum sounds, and there's literally thousands of new kits available by flicking switches, turning knobs and connecting bolts!

EASTER EGG - The DD-50 has an entire GM orchestra inside it which can be accessed with midi. Of course this entire GM orchestra can also be circuit bent :)
I might make another video to demo this feature.

Sadly this machine refuses all attempts at accepting precision oscillators, so no pitch modulation :(

Lots of AMP based mods available, but not enough room inside the machine to mount any more knobs/switches."

Eventide TimeFactor Demo with synthesizer and drum machine


YouTube via EROEI | August 19, 2010

"A TimeFactor demo I made for the What I Love About My Eventide Stompbox video contest. If you liked this please vote for me at http://www.youtube.com/group/Eventide... before sept 1st!

I use the TimeFactor as a table top delay to quickly create and play delay effects for electronic music. It has quickly become a critical component of my music making gear.

Instruments used; first scene is Cwejman S1mk2, VCEQ-3 and SPH-2 into TimeFactor. All other sound sources are either Nord Lead 3 or Elektron Machinedrum."
