"Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue semi-modular synthesizer. This is a 100% analog, hand built synth with tons of character... this is an older version of the Little Boy Blue (this one runs on two 9v batteries), but sounds just the same as the last production line.
2 voltage controlled ramp (sawtooth) oscillators 1/4" input with variable gain envelope follower with optional inverter 2 channel mixer intermodulating output stage powder-coated aluminum case single 9V battery power automatically disconnected when output cable is unplugged"
"I made this too long demo video maybe a year ago(?), but never uploaded it here because it was too long. Now that they've increased the allowed time, I can post it here.
Basically this is a long, boring, methodical demo of the basic sounds of several filters. The original idea was from a recipe for a basic "fat" sound by Mark Pulver, using 3 vco's. I controlled this sound using a simple pattern from a Music From Outer Space 16 step sequencer. Just basic filter operation is demonstrated - no added modulation from envelopes or lfo's - otherwise it would get too confusing and take too long. I'm just sweeping the frequency knobs on the various filters at varying resonance settings."
"This is a lazy song with 11 tracks of Yamaha V2 pure.
Pure means: No external help like Fx, Eq etc.. All sounds comes directly from V2 into the soundcard without any plugins.
Yamaha V2 brings an 4OP FM-Synthesis without samples. You listen only FM. No layers. The panning is realized by the internal panner. Filterölike sounds are simply by FM ... theres no filter inside. I recorded every sound as a stereo file.
Here in Europe is the V2 a rarity from Japan, we only know the DX11 - the same synthesizer just with another naming."
"I now have stock of a range of 4HP and 8HP front panels to suit the Synovatron DIY Prototyping Kits. These can be purchased with the kits as an option or separately..."

The Ondioline
"De Fransman Jenny heeft een electronisch muziekinstrument uitgevonden. Hij komt, toetsenbord onder de ene arm, draagbare versterker in de hand van de andere, een geluidsstudio binnen, installeert het toetsenbord en sluit de versterker aan. Daarna demonstreert hij, samen met drie andere musici
(saxofoon, banjo, viool), hoe goed zijn uitvinding echte muziekinstrumenten kan nabootsen en speelt tenslotte samen met een violist een duet op de melodie van 'Plaisir d'amour'.

The Frenchman Jenny has an electronic musical instrument invented. He comes, keyboard under one arm, portable amplifier based on the other, a sound studio in, install the keyboard and connect the amplifier. Then he demonstrates, along with three other musicians (Saxophone, banjo, violin), how good can mimic real musical invention and finally with a violinist playing a duet on the melody of 'Plaisir d'amour.

And via Andres: "The video on BeeldenGeluid channel [above] shows a very early model of the Ondioline like the one is on the Museo de Ureña in Spain [here].
This other video: [below] shows three different models of Ondioline on minute 8, featuring Jean-Jaques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley. As here.
Electronic Musician Jean-Jacques Perrey on "I've Got a Secret"
YouTube via rrgomes | Mar 20, 2010 |
"Electronic music pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey appears on "I've Got a Secret" (November 21st, 1966) with host Steve Allen and panelists Betsy Palmer, Bill Cullen, Bess Myerson, and Henry Morgan.
After several other musicians are introduced along with their instruments (violin, French horn, bagpipe, clarinet) we learn that Perrey's secret is "I play one instrument that can sound like all of these."
After the game, that instrument is revealed to be the Ondioline, an early synthesizer-like keyboard instrument. He demonstrates that it can indeed mimic the sounds of the others and make unique sounds of its own.
Perrey and his collaborator Gershon Kingsley, with whom he recorded the 1966 album "The In Sound from Way Out", then play one of their compositions."

"20 Rom Scrambling mods, which provide industrial Glitch for the drums & synth.
I brought this machine because I needed a decent hardware sequencer. . . . Sadly Yamah (Multi-million doller international company) chose to ship these machines with a DODGY Operating System!!! This makes the machine essentially useless in a Midi enviroment........ What a bunch of cunts...."
