lost in a blak box -analog synthesizer elektro
YouTube Uploaded by elektrobahnmusik on Mar 23, 2011
"4 minute snip of a 25+ minute live analogue session
elektrobahn is a studio and live performance project that works completely with old school cv gate and pre-first gen midi. all the vintage gear that's in the rack you see here and on elektrobahn.com is pre 85. the moogerfoogers, dp4 and orb sequencer (which has switched out to a doepfer maq) obviously are not vintage, so we bent the rules a bit. in the studio we employ a couple of tape echos, mutrons and other old stomp boxes.
the point of the project is sentimental in regard to a fascination with the simplistic mechanics of old gear, modulated with the aesthetics and sonic sensibilities of the 21st century. its very much a modular approach which is popular again. everything is multi track recorded in one pass to a computer. there is no manipulation of the sequence. it's eq'd and slightly compressed.
why, you ask? to some, this might seem tedious, and too simple to achieve a well rounded track. to us, the focus is it's simplicity. it's about interesting harmonics and the strange behavior of circuits and it's effect on air molecules as they beat the shit out of the studio/gallery/warehouse walls...
gear heard on this recording: korg ms10, korg sq10, moogerfooger fx, roland tr-808, akai ax60, akai s612, moog memorymoog, ensoniq dp4

Sequential Circuits Prophet T8
via this auction"Sequential Circuits Prophet t 8 analog 8 voice polysynth with velocity and aftertouch and 76 (a-c) weighted keys, and it came with early factory MIDI circa 1983-84 in out only. This Prophet t 8 is in 100% working condition, and it was recalibrated and any repair work that was needed to it, including the sequencer, the optical sensors, leds, etc was done recently by a veteran former SC analog tech."
Ovation Condor Vintage Guitar With Synth
via this auction"Ovation Condor Vintage Guitar and Synthesizer. These are very rare. Guitar made by Ovation, I believe the synth made by Hammond. It is very lofi, and in my opinion, completely awesome. It tracks terribly and warbles, and does everything I love. If you are accustomed to Line 6 stuff you will probably hate this. It functions properly, everything works..."
Rare Andromeda A6 with Red Faceplate
via this auctionThese were actually from Alesis and not custom jobs. I forget how many were made but they were limited and part of the initial run along with the more common blue faced versions.
