DIY hardware programmer for Kawai K3m Synthesizer and CR-78-clone

YouTube via stereoping | September 26, 2010

"This video features my 2 last diy-projects: a hardwareprogrammer for the Kawai K3m and an analogue drumsynthesizer. Sorry for the shaking, had to hold the cam the whole songrecording.

1. I made a hardware programmer for my beloved kawai k3m which is normally painful to edit. It's made out of an old keyfax phatboy which is quite useless normally because it only sends mostly useless fixed controllerdata. I spent it a new brain of an atmega8 and connected it to the multiplexers and switches. After some programming it now sends sysexdata suitable for the K3. Of course any incoming mididata is merged through. Notes have priority before sysex to prevent notelags. There are 3 color-modes which can be switched by a 3-way-switch in the upper right corner of the controller.

2. Second featured DIY-project in this video is my "Viscand 16" - a frankensteinproduct of a VISCount 160 and the rolAND cr78. It eats mididata and listenes on 16 notes to trigger the voices. Its hard to find coils today, the CR78 needs some for filtering (tambourine, metalbeat aso.) . I tried to overcome that by filtering the noise with a simple opamp-bandpass before it gets into the circuit. Another try was to use old relais-coils together with some capacitors, well it worked somehow. The sound is quite near by the cr78. Although i still got some problems with a clean accent-amp the video shows how it sounds.
Other synths used: v-synth (suqareblip), polysix-plugin, albino-plugin (Bass) and dynacord studioquad for reverbs."

POLYVOX POLIVOKS

via this auction

"SOVIET ANALOGUE LEGEND IN MINT CONDITION WITH ORIGINAL ALUMINIUM CASE... THIS IS A MOOG-TYPE SYNTH WITH AN OWN CHARACTER. THE SOUND IS RICH AND AGGRESSIVE. SO IF YOU DO NOT OWN A MOOG YOU CAN USE IT AS A (MUCH!) CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE, AND IF YOU OWN A MOOG YOU CAN ADD A POLYVOX FOR THE SOUNDS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE MOOG, YET OF THE SAME TYPE."

Folktek Harmonic Field Version 2

via this auction

"The second version of one of our favorite works here at the folktek labs, this one steeped in greater possibility - still almost entirely touch based. We've added a 12 part key section to control the touch plates and a very nasty filter to either grime up, liquify or subdue the sound."

Roland S-550 Digital Sampler

via this auction

"80's digital sampler. I bought the device and then hunted down a monochrome screen.. I download the original synth sounds off the internet, and ripped them to double density 3.5 floppy disks which aren't available anymore. You can find high density 3.5 disks and put a piece of tape over one of the holes which converts them to double density. After that I had to format the disk with windows 98 so I could set the size to 720kb. I was able to get the system disk and every sound that Roland made for the device. works great, if you don't mind waiting 60 seconds to load a sound bank of about 8 different samples. You can record samples and play them back in different keys. auction includes the Roland s-550 with monochrome screen user manual flopply disk drawer and over 60 disks."
