This Second Sleep - Chimera Noyo Miniature

YouTube via arthurpainter | September 16, 2010

"http://thissecondsleep.blogspot.com/
A brief improv using my Chimera bC16 as the primary sound source. There's a bit of Sequential Circuits Pro rumble in the beginning. A dose of delay was also added to the mix."

A short haunting melody.AVI

YouTube via dolphinicus | September 16, 2010

"This is a short 3 minute video with not much more excitement within it rather than blinking LEDs. I loved the haunting sounding melody though from a single voltage controlled oscillator, going into a Voltage Controlled Amplifer whose amplitude were being controlled by a slowly rising Attack and slowly falling Release.
A little bit into it, I bring in a simple single VCO 'bassline' of sorts, that's being played by my 4094 based Eighth BITchen Deathlehem Sequencer. I hope you enjoy.
Ahhh yes - and both of the voices are going through a digital reverb effect for extra 'floor' beneath everything."

A BETTER Liquid HiHat 101010-AlmostCompleted-Sept1510.AVI

dolphinicus | September 15, 2010

"Now - please do pardon my extreme excitement but I HAD to make this NEW video for the Deathlehem Liquid HiHat 101010, almost immediately.
Having both of it's voices running through separate VCAs which are each controlled by their own Attack Decay envelope generators - I heard sounds that I had never imagined POSSIBLE from this thing! :O
Completely patchable in any way that you wish, the 6 oscillators and 4 of the 8 x XOR Gates are beyond the imagination's capabilities in noise sounds that can be made.
More coming, in the future, from my Deathlehem 101010 Noise Machine. :)

Whilst I think of it: all info. on this new design can be read at the forum at:

korg ds-10 track 55

korgds10 | September 16, 2010

"This is a track I, Ugo Capeto, made with the Nintendo Korg DS-10 (I guess these days you have to mention it's the "original" DS-10). I've tried to use all 6 channels (2 synth + 4 drums) for synth voices. Can't say I miss the usual DS10 drums. For more pocket synth action, check http://korgds-10.blogspot.com"

DS-10 Construction

YouTube via LPChip | September 16, 2010

"This can very well be my best Korg DS-10 song. One of the things that I have in this song that I haven't had before is an insane good quality. The bass is really deep and the high parts are very crisp too. I build a very chill setting here, almost hiphop like. And if you think it can't be better, a very nice lead makes you think again.

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do listening and making it.

If you want the mp3 version for off-line listening, feel free to get it here:

Enjoy! :) Comments and rating this one is always appreciated, even if its just an "awesome" :)"

Umbra and the Volcan Siege and the M4000

"Chicago, IL September 14, 2010. Chicago-based psych-rockers Umbra and the Volcan Siege have a new weapon in their musical arsenal. Bandleader and mellotron enthusiast Jim Licka reports that he has just received the new M4000 from Streetly Electronics, the foremost experts in mellotron restorations, and the home of the all-new M4000.

Licka, who also plays guitar and Moog synthesizer with Umbra and the Volcan Siege, placed his order for the M4000 in 2007 after visiting Streetly's Staffordshire, England, headquarters and testing a prototype. An older model mellotron is featured on the most recent Umbra and the Volcan Siege EP, 2009's The Beginning of the End.

According to Streetly's official Website, the M4000 was designed as an homage to the original MKII mellotron. It has revolving drums, a chain-linked, failsafe cycling mechanism and includes the following features: 8 stations/24 sounds (equivalent of 8 tape frames in one instrument), inching facility in addition to factory presets, cycling optical failsafe to prevent damage to the tapes while the instrument cycles to the next station, a light and playable MKII keyboard feel, an MKII playing height for comfortable standing position, a positively pressurized cabinet to filter in clean air and protect the instrument from smoke and other contaminants, playback heads that are mounted in revolving collars so that each one can always be positioned for correct response and a standard 24 sound tape set based on Streetly's most popular tape sales over the last 5 years.

The M400 is the newest model of mellotron, an electro-mechanical, polyphonic keyboard that dates back to the early 1960s. Psychedelic and progressive rock bands used the mellotron extensively in the 60s and 70s and the instrument features on such classic albums as George Harrison's Wonderwall Music, King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King and Architecture & Morality by Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark.

In a recent interview with Novo Arts, Licka stated that he purchased his first mellotron in Toronto several years ago and is proud to be among a select number of M4000 owners, including Sir Paul McCartney, Arcade Fire and Medeski Martin & Wood."
