Analogue Solutions Telemark #02 - Connecting an Analogue Sequencer (Oberkorn MK3)

YouTube via rezfilter | October 25, 2010

"HOW TO: Connect an Analogue Solutions Telemark Semi-Modular synthesizer (www.analoguesolutions.com) to an AS Oberkorn Analogue Sequencer.

This video covers basic connections from the Oberkorn sequencer to the Telemark synth (connecting: pitch x 2, filter, and EG/Trigger).

Another great feature of the Telemark is the integrated MIDI control, which can be used to transpose live sequences as they play back from the Oberkorn (shown in the video). This means that you can sequence the transposition via MIDI in your DAW of choice - control those analogue basslines!

SEA WITCH VS THE ALIENS - A New Halloween Cue

""SEA WITCH VS THE ALIENS" by Drew Neumann c2010 Droomusic ASCAP

The story so far--fresh from their easy victory over the brainless Zombies, the Aliens dive into the Pacific Rim of Fire to raid the earth's resources and steal Methane Hydrates. They encounter something deep underwater that can actually fight back, and she is on her own home turf...

This cue features the Euro and Frac system set up in this simple patch--the one on the left is called Morbeus, it is an Emu/Paia homebrew made from Emu SSM evaluation boards and Paia EKX series boards. On the right top to bottom is an Encore Expressionist, Analogue Systems modular, Blacet, and Doepfer A100 modulars. Below that is a Powertran Digital Delay and an Alesis Quadraverb.
These synths are backed up by 2 Waldorf Microwave 1, WAVE, and Q+, a Minimoog, 2 Minimoog Voyagers, Studio Electronics Omega 8, 2 Oberheim SEMS, a Tom Oberheim New SEM, Access Virus B and C, Arturia Origin, 2 MacBeth M3X, Jomox Sunsyn, Alesis Andromeda, and the 5U Knob Grotto. Mixed live off of all of the synths, this used 63 tracks and a couple of hundred voices. It probably should be titled the battle against noise floor and ground loops, but I won that battle!"

Also used by Geoff Downes and Stevie Wonder - a beautiful synth sorely missed. For more info and DVDs goto www.museumstudio.co.uk"
Update via Christopher Clement in the comments: "The bloke holding the pint is none other than Julian Colbeck of Keyfax fame."

Single/ dual or 2 part split modes (split mode: 4 voices on each split with seperate outputs on the rear for upper/ lower), 4 track sequencer, fantastic filter- 24db low pass, 12db and 6db band pass and 12db high pass filter modes. Extensive modulation possibilities and routing, unique programmable glide section independant for each oscillator. Amazing 3 stage chorus ensemble. 2x LFO's, 2x ADSR envelope generators, 40 patch presets and 40 user memories...

This Synthex has factory midi installed.

Comes with some accessories- full ATA flightcase custom made for the Synthex (brand new), user manual and full (large A3) schematics, also including some spare IC's, 2x CEM 3320 filter chips and 3x BBD's for the chorus circuit.

This Synthex came from the now shut "Synth Museum" in the UK, if you check google you can find a demo video of Paul Wiffen playing this very synth at the Synth Museum, [above]

Paul Wiffen originally programmed the preset (ROM) sounds for Synthex's and this machine has an extra bank of 40 sounds programmed by Paul in the user (RAM) registers- a really good bank of additional sounds."

Circuit Bent BABELBOX

via this auction
"circuit bent Texas Instruments Touch and Tell unit. This unit is called the BABELBOX. This unit will make bent voice/tone/loop sounds when you turn on any of the bend switches and touch the front panel. You can change the pitch by moving your hand over the photo sensor or touching the body contact and front panel. The size is approx: 14" X 10" X 1.5". The unit uses 2 "D" batteries for power (not included).This is a great instrument for live work or for sampling sounds in the studio... It makes sounds that are very different than the sounds that the Speak and Spell / Math / Read FREAKENSPEAK. It can sound like a theremin or a spaceman on speed! Great for techno,sound FX or electronic music.

Here is a list of the circuit bent features:
2 bend switches that can twist and bend the words and sounds when you press on the holographic panel. You can get the unit to spit out bent words and bent sounds almost endlessly.
1 Glitch button that bends the sound when you press the holographic panel and then press this button.
1 distortion switch that adds fuzz/distortion/pulse sound to the voice or bent sounds.
1 reset button to reset the unit if it crashes.
1 tone "on" switch that puts out a nice triangle wave tone that you can "play" with any or all of the pitch controls. This feature works great with the photo sensor control.
1 Pitch change photo sensor switch to turn on/off the photo sensor.
1 Photo sensor that lets you "play" the pitch of the sound by moving your hand over the sensor without touching it, just like playing a theremin! This is one of the best ways to play the sounds on the BABELBOX.
1 pitch range switch that sets the range of the pitch from high to low. You can switch from the highest pitch to the lowest just by flipping this switch.
1 pitch change brass knob for body contact. When you touch the knob the pitch of the sound will go down. If you touch the holographic foil label with your other hand, the pitch will go even lower.
1 pitch change pot with ball knob that varies the pitch of the sound in both high and low pitch ranges.(as set by the pitch range switch)
1 pitch change holographic foil front panel works when touching the body contact.
1 audio 1/4"output jack to send the signal to an amp or FX unit.
1 Speaker on/off switch to turn the internal speaker off and send the signal to the 1/4" output.
1 super bright LED that strobes to the sounds that the unit makes.
Shiny black paint job with silver marble look.
1 BABELBOX users manual."
