MATRIXSYNTH

via this auction

"rare Multimoog synthesizer. Only one thousand of these were made. Many have been parted out to repair others. So there are not many left of this special synth.

This one is in correct working order and is in excellent condition.

This was the last synthesizer designed by Bob Moog himself from the original Moog Music company in New York. He had already sold the company and name to Norlin, but he had a contract to stay on and continue working for a couple of years. He was the designer of this wonderful synth as the slightly smaller version of the Minimoog. It was the last synth he made with the original company.

It still uses the famous Moog filter design and can do a few things the Mini could not do. First of these special traits was its modulation routing. It was, relatively speaking, capable of more routing possibilities for modulation. It also has aftertouch. it is one of the first synths to have this feature. Play a note and then press a little harder to add that extra bit of expression - maybe a vibrato or a filter change. Also, Bob Moog designed the first portable synthesizers to be modular. The Multi and Mini among others (Micro and Prodigy to name a couple) had ins and outs included on the back to you could connect a couple of these gems together for even more power. He wanted to be able to include some of what he had started out with in building his large modular synthesizers."

VCO-1 and 8-Step Sequencer

YouTube via technoshamanarchist | December 11, 2010 |

"Thomas Henry's VCO-1 connected to a 8-step analog sequencer which is based on the famous Baby 10. For more information on each, please visit:

http://www.birthofasynth.com/Thomas_H...
http://www.midiwall.com/gear/babyseq/

Sequencer provides CV and Gate signals. I route the Gate to Linear FM, Exp. FM, and PWM. The VCO can output Sine, triangle, and pulse waves.

The camera angle is kinda lame, and the output is coming from a hi-fi amp + speakers. The music sux, but I think this VCO sounds pretty good :)"

Novation Launchpad Ableton Live_Dj'ing from behind the drums_Trip-hop Edition: Progtronica

Novation Launchpad Ableton Live_Dj'ing from behind the drums_Trip-hop Edition: Progtronica from Nigel Sifantus on Vimeo.

"nigelsifantus.com An Ableton live performance Dj'ing from behind the drums part 2: Trip_Hop Edition "Twilight of 2010". Using the Novation Launchpad to trigger different parts of the song in real time while playing the drum part on modified Roland V-Drums. This song is dedicated to the trials tribulations and torment of 2010, and is inspired by the Cinematic Orchestra's "As Stars Fall" as well as Squarepusher's "Music Rotted One Note" album. This is Progtronica as the futuristic one-man drum ninja band. Here I'm using sidechain compression on the bass and ambient sounds separately against the live drums, which makes for an interesting sound."

"Again and again night improvisation .... sorry for mistakes and bad camera focusing (-: (Yamaha RS-7000, Waldorf micro Q, Korg Prophecy, Korg 03R/W, Roland JX-305, Roland V-Synth XT, Casio VZ-1 .... Hitachi DZ-HV564E, Konica Minolta DiMage Z2) .... Myslím, že už bylo dost zmatených improvizací s jedním patternem furt dookola, měl bych raději dělat něco smysluplnějšího, třeba album."

Little Nemo: The Dream Master (Chipophone)

YouTube via lftkryo | December 12, 2010 |

"Music from the game Little Nemo: The Dream Master, composed by Junko Tamiya in 1990, performed on the Chipophone.

I had not heard this music until it was first requested by youtube user Jakyden, but I immediately liked the endgame tune, presented here as the second movement. It is rare for an 8-bit composition to capture feelings of nostalgia and melancholy so beautifully."
