Spotted this one at 5:25 in the TRASH_AUDIO NAMM video here. Pic via fdiskc. This appears to be the work of Phil Gallo and is the second coming of the PlanB model30 triple DCO he designed. See this post for reference including video. Rumor has it he is working with Malekko on this module.

Q-960 Sequence

Q-960 Sequence from Markk W. Roberts on Vimeo.

"When I had the Synthesizers.com in vertical arrangement, and after a few bottles of wine, I created this little happy sequence and used the TC Electronics multi-tap delay for the "bouncing" delay effect... layered a few JD-800 strings on top of it... modular key change was being handled by the Korg Karma through an Encore Electronics Expressionist."

"Damn! Look what I found on the floor! This the 8 modules MacBeth Mk1 Modular (Barabas1) that I took to the NAMM show at Anaheim California '11!
The case got battered a bit- was maybe thrown around- but the modules are fine! Here it is with two Mk1 Oscs providing a drone- and a Mk1 Oscilltor 'B' triggering 2 Mk1 Dual Envelope Generators..."

"Hej Casanova" - with Roland SH-2000

YouTube via organfairy | January 26, 2011 |

"'Hey Casanova
close down your business
go somewhere else
and stop stealing my girlfriends'

This is basically what this song is about. It was a moderate hit for the Danish dance band Klaus & Servants in 1978.

After making several videos with multitrack or MIDI music I thought it was about time to just sit down and play with nothing more than what I can do in real-time. The music is recorded directly from the organ and the only trick I have used is to stop playing when I moved the camera for a close-up of the synthesizer and back again. These breaks were edited out later.

I play the Technics SX-C600 organ and on top of it a Roland SH-2000 synthesizer. This was actually the way it was designed to be played: On top of an organ as an external third keyboard - or solo manual."
