Intellijel μscale - quantized symmetry

Intellijel μscale - quantized symmetry from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"The μscale module is a cv quantizer and musical interval generator. In this simple patch I am using four VCO's. Cwejman VCO-2RM, VM-1,harvestman piston honda, and hertz donut. Everything is being CV sequenced by the output of the μscale. Clocked from one mini ELF LFO to a Doepfer 160, 161 then out to a-151 quad sequential switch controlling the MakeNoise Brains, and two pressure points doing long slow sequences back into the CV and Shift input on the Intellijel μscale. The drums are coming from the cwejman BLD and NS-04 for the white noise snare, and high hats. Effects used TipTop Z5000, Z-DSP, and Doepfer A-187

Note: this patch is completely modular, no drum machines or computers used here:)"

ASYZ (1971) - Czech Monster Synth!

via Matjko, spotted on czechkeys.blog.cz

Googlish description: "In 70 originated from the Department of Sound Engineering Filmovéhoé Barrandov modular szstém ASYZ (analyzer and synthesizer sound), whose development has started in the late 60 years. The instrument was completed several years of additional modules, the final version was called the second jakol ASYZ The principal authors were Anthony ka designers and Bohumil Matousek, to which the early 70 years joined a sound engineer and designer Paul Pitrák, then as a sound engineer working with the tool.

Synthesizer and keyboard was not used to create sound effects or external signal processing .. As a manually controlled source audio signal generator was used a modified beat Bruel & Kjaer, producing sinusoidal oscillations in the range 20 Hz - 20 kHz. To control was also adjusted third octave filters of the same company for which the individual potentiometers nastavovala level in each zone and each zone can be switched buttons that are used to "play" in real time. Automated management tools ensure sequencer with three ceilings and sixteen steps, whose length can be adjusted. Among the modules are a VCO, a noise generator, filters, bass and treble, parametric filters, circular and phase modulators, amplifiers, merge, VCA, ADSR generators, LFO, random signal generators, envelope follower and auxiliary circuits. Levels of selected signals follow a small six-channel mixer. Signal parameters can be monitored using the built-in oscilloscope, an indicator of arousal, voltmeter and frequency counter for measurement. To connect the modules used sockets and cables used in analogue computers MEDA. Jacks on the inputs and outputs of audio and control signals are color-coded for clarity.

In the second half of the 90 years was added šestioktávová keyboard (FF) with separate stand and synthesizer could serve to normal play. For several years, but stopped. Now it has in its collections by Cinepost.

YouTube via tradlessons | February 11, 2011 |

"Accordion GCF is an authentic sounding, easy to play, standard 31-button three-row GCF tuned Button Accordion for the iPad.

GCF (SOL in Espanol) is a very popular tuning and is used in many styles of music including Tex-Mex, Zydeco, Mexican, Tejano, and Conjunto.

The instrument has a G scale on the bottom row, a C scale on the middle row, and an F scale on the top row.

The button layout is based on the most popular standard used for GCF instruments with additional accidentals at the top end of the rows.

The app uses the same fingerings and has essentially the same button spacing as a real instrument.

The built-in note guide will help you quickly learn your way around the buttons.

Here's how to get started playing tunes:

The app can be played either with the iPad on the lap or held vertically like the real instrument.

Touch the buttons with the fingers on your right hand to play. Buttons light up in green when touched.

Multiple buttons may be pressed at the same time to play chords.

This style of accordion is diatonic and plays different notes depending on whether you are pushing or pulling on the bellows.

Touch the anywhere in the bellows image at the top of the screen for PUSH notes, lift your finger for PULL notes.

The PUSH/PULL indicator shows the current bellows direction.

Adjust the Volume slider as desired.

Touch the '?' icon to show note names. The note names change with the bellows direction.

Touch the 'i' icon to bring up the help screen. Touch anywhere in the help screen to go back to the play screen.

All settings are saved when the app exits.

Yamaha DX5 vintage FM synthesizer

via this auction

"Everything works as it should, the keys feel great, the aftertouch is amazing, the most responsive I've ever played. The switches feel like new, the only noticeable sign of wear are on the sides.

This is basically a DX1 in a more affordable enclosure minus a few extras, or two DX7 synths engines in a better enclosure with better converters and other extras.

It comes with a DX voice cartridge (synth brass, #106) and a padded bag."
