Shoulda Woulda Coulda Polychord

"Shoulda Woulda Coulda is proud to announce that our application the polychord is currently available for the Apple iPad, in the App Store, and is promisingly in the "New & Noteworthy" section. It is classified as a music app, as it is a musical instrument… But it is an instrument that a complete novice can play in minutes, or a consummate professional can add to their arsenal of creative tools.

Should Woulda Coulda is a new company and has two partners Gregory Wieber a visual artist and code expert. And music producer/engineer Hugo Nicolson who has worked with Radiohead, Primal Scream, and on movie soundtracks such as the Ocean's 11 trilogy with DJ Composer David Holmes.

Having worked in the music business for 25 years, Hugo frustrated by the fact that he still could not play a note, suggested to Greg over coffee one day, that they try make an instrument he might actually be able to play. A few months later, a much thinner and paler greg emerged from his workshop with the polychord."

Another drone piece that sprung from my use of the Serge Creature/Seq A/TKB/Dual Osc/Wave Proc combo, along with textural elements and faux theremin sounds from my Folktek Drumscape."

ROLAND RS-505 STRING SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"The Roland RS-505 is a very rich sounding string synthesizer. The three sections, bass, synth, strings, can be combined or played separately. Sounds from the three tone sections can be blended for interesting results and the built-in Ensemble chorusing effect really warms, thickens and lushes up the sounds! The Paraphonic 505 also features an external audio input (mono) so you could run another synth through the quadruple-BBD Ensemble chorus. A new little performance control section to the left of the keyboard provides convenient volume, tune, glide and pitch bender controls. The Paraphonic 505 is considered one of Roland's finest string synths."

Creamware PRODYSSEY ASB Synth

A polyphonic ARP Odyssey

"The Prodyssey is a faithful recreation of the legendary ARP Odyssey but has many extra features not present in the original synth such as MIDI In, Out and Thru and the ability to connect to computer by USB for editing, saving and general tinkering with how things operate. One of the best things about this synth is that as well as having the original ARP filter it also has the option to switch to the MINIMAX filter which is a clone of a Minimoog filter!

It sounds fabulous and was the most expensive of the Creamware range at the time as it is a little bigger than the other units. The look, as you can see is a faithful copy of the original with lovely added wooden end cheeks which can be removed if you wish to rackmount it."
