"Here's one you don't see too often. A rare Synton Fenix--- 1 of 75 made. It has just come back from being serviced and needs nothing. It's in beautiful cosmetic condition with only a few small scratches (very hard to see.) As you may know, Synton made a small number of these back in 1997 through 2000. Too bad they stopped! This thing is unique with it's 3 VCOs, 3 VCFs, 3 EGs, 3 LFOs, 4 VCAs, etc. It will come with the power supply, original manuals and some banana patch cords."

Multivox SQ-1 Firstman

Firstmans on eBay - not seeing it listed at the time of this post.
"I am posting this video of a nicely preserved Multivox SQ-1 Firstman that worked very well when I bought it years ago but now all it makes are weird pitched sounds best described by recording them and making them available in this video.

Some of the lights still come on but there is no sound.

I was going to try and have it fixed but I am running out of money so it's on eBay now.

Maybe someone else can get it fixed and restore it back to its former self.

This video is not for entertainment value but to demonstrate the condition of this piece to potential buyers.

When it works this synth have a truly bad-ass Acid sound, like a TB-303. There are videos form other users on Youtube to back this up.

Those who have already owned or heard one of these know that what I am saying is true."

"If I ever were to play a live set anywhere, this is what I would play. By using two Nintendo DSi units with copies of Korg DS-10 Plus, I can mix my own songs back and forth. It's quite handy, and a lot of fun. Every sound you hear was created on Korg DS-10. Feel free to ask questions. Please enjoy!!! =)

Mysterious Forest
The Seventh

Richard Hoadley - Gaggle, Generative Sound Interface 2010

YouTube Uploaded by MediaArtTube on Mar 16, 2011

"The Gaggle prototype has been imagined, designed and developed in order to experiment personally with such interfaces, and primarily with the link between sensor (in this case 'pings'), physical computing board (in this case Arduino) and SuperCollider audio language.
Gaggle provides an opportunity to investigate performance using Gaggle, including questions such as: * Does the number of sensors affect the nature of the interface? Does increasing the number of sensors to a point where they are difficult to control consciously affect performativity? * Does the relative position of the sensors affect the result. In particular these ultrasound sensors can interfere with each other, especially when designing for movement such as that created by dancers. * How does the type of movement to be used with the interface affect the use and design of the interface? For instance, in this case, how is the direction of the sensors affected and what difference does this make? * Interplay between physical implementation and software algorithms: for instance, does the physical nature of the interface need to be reflected in its performance results. Of course all the usual issues concerning algorithmic composition and structuring arise at this point.

"Thought I would share an evening of inspiration I got from playing with a simple sequence from the an1x. Timing is off all over the place , If I can build the track into something , I could share the progression of it..if anyone is interested of course:)!"

Daren Ager's Bug-Phonic - Japan Relief

via Daren Ager:

"I will be donating all of the proceeds to the Red Cross Japan relief fund. All 13 tracks were created on the Bugbrand modular live in one take with no traditional sequencing, midi, overdubs or computers. They were created for a challenge set by Tom Bugs to create Radiophonic inspired tracks to be played at the forthcoming event at the Cube Cinema, Bristol, UK

I have set the price for the 13 track album at a minimum of £1.25 (no maximum, but I'm hoping for £2 per copy)"
