HARTMANN NEURON DIGITAL KEYBOARD SYNTHESIZER


via this auction

"The Neuron’s software allows the user to first analyze and then manipulate any sound source. With its neural network controlled adaptive sound analysis, Neuron automatically identifies a sound’s qualities and translates them into individual parameter sets, matching the original source sound. Instead of applying the same parameters to every type of sound, Neuron learns from the sounds fed into it and automatically assigns suitable parameters to each type of sound.

Sounds originate in two so-called resynators, each of which generates a sound based on the models stored on Neuron’s internal hard drive. Using the Blender function, these two models can be mixed and merged in a variety of different ways, creating totally new sounds based on the individual models.

For example, a three-dimensional imprint of one model can be used to manipulate the spectrum of another model. In addition, complex sounds can be filtered and processed in many different ways. Neuron not only offers powerful realtime effects: it is also provides full 5.1 surround panning and processing capabilities.

Under the hood, the Hartmann Neuron features a powerful DSP engine with 64-bit floating point precision and a 32-bit signal path, as well as 256 megabytes of RAM.

A 10 GB internal hard drive holds factory- programmed and user-defined neural synthesis models. Internal memory consists of 200 sound and 200 setup memory locations, including a convenient snapshot function.

External backup storage devices (such as CD-writers, hard drives and memory sticks) can be added using the integrated USB interface. Depending on the structure of the chosen neural synthesis model, NEURON offers 16-48 voice polyphony. Its 6 audio outputs can be flexibly configured, from 6x mono to 5.1 surround. The 5-octave semi-weighted keyboard offers velocity control and channel aftertouch.

The NEURON Neuronal Synthesizer was released at a suggested retail price of USD 4,990.00 (€ 4.890,00)."

Diabolical Pedal Blow-out - Fuzz Burglar Deluxe & More

via these auctions
"Diabolical Amplification Pedal blow-out!!! We are clearing out inventory and auctioning both prototype and former production pedals starting at some truly amazing prices. We will be listing each pedal only once! so if your interested please bid while you can. The retail price for each of these pedals is between $150-$350 depending on the model. Many of these pedals are one-of-a-kind both in appearance and circuit design and are an incredible chapter in the works of designer of John McNeece. Do not miss out.

The Fuzz Burglar is a 60's Japan based Fuzz effect with VOLUME control and 12-position TONE switch. First footswitch bypasses effect (true bypass), second footswitch engages an oscillator whose pitch is controlled by the rotary switch, a pitch knob, and momentary "drop" switch AND your guitar's volume knob. You can create some truly bizarre guitar and synth sounds. Great for crazy solos and leads. The Fuzz Burglar also functions as a stand-alone square wave synth and will generate sounds on it's own when is oscillator mode. The Fuzz burglar DELUXE has an added LFO stage which modulates the oscillator."

2. "Constructor" 3D model showreel.


YouTube Uploaded by whiteeagle1973made on May 6, 2011

"The music of this clip, is performed on the physical actual prototype -- apart of the drum sounds. This prototype contains a Paia Fatman voice card.
(please see clip "1. the 'Constructor' Paia Fatman plays "Bladerunner theme".')
The titles of the music pieces heard on this clip, are "Lullaby for Capacitor-babies" for the first track and just "electro-beat" for the second one, as it is a crude attempt of me, writing an electro dance oriented piece:D.

You may'd like also to check often, this blog:

where I'm planning to describe the actual process of designing and manufacturing, of this dissertation project.
The blog may be of interest of both the "synth-diy" fanatics and the Industrial/3D Design crowd.

BBC Tomorrow's World Fairlight CMI from 1980 Kieran Prendiville


YouTube Uploaded by Synthasy2000 on May 6, 2011

"Not seen this before on YouTube so I've put it up for the Fairlight video collectors out there.

Kieran Prendiville bashes out a tune on a new synthesiser that can sample real sounds! Revolutionary for 1980 and now so main stream. One of TW's hit predictions.

He's wrong when he says the Fairlight (well he never actually mentions it's a Fairlight) "mathematically works out" the sound. It doesn't synthesise the sound which is the impression Kieran Prendiville is giving. He's also wrong when he says "those aren't recordings". They are of course, sounds sampled into memory as we all know and love.

Although the tape based Mellotron from 15 years or so earlier than this was used to play back sound effects ;)

I'm not so keen on his mugging to camera though. Probably a struggling actor coming out of him. Maybe that's why he wrote "Ballykissangel" :D"

"My first attempt at making something funky and 80s on the legendary TR-808. :) Video taken at Switched On Austin, vintage synth store, with iPhone 3GS.
Also the bass patch is from the CZ-1000 phase distortion synth."

"Fast playing on the SPD 20 ! It's almost as if I am playing on real drums.
I use the Boss RC-20 loopstation to make the party complete."
