'What If' - original piano instrumental on Eigenharp Alpha

YouTube Uploaded by gbevin on May 16, 2011

"http://eigenzone.org - This is one of the original instrumental piano pieces that I've been composing on the Eigenharp Alpha. I'm still contemplating on adding vocals over it and turning it into a song, but I'm not totally convinced yet.

However, after many months of keeping this under the wraps, I though it was time to record a video with the factory piano sound since I think it's stunningly beautiful and responds wonderfully well to dynamics.

Hope you enjoy it.

I you like this performance, you can download the lossless audio file from SoundCloud for free:

Witchsphere: Hawkwind cover (Korg EA1 ER1 EM1 Electribe + KP3 + Kaossilator)

YouTube Uploaded by witchsphere on Mar 6, 2011

"Electro cover of a Hawkwind classic. Korg EA1, Korg EM1, Korg ER1 Electribe, KP3 & Kaossilator. File under Hawkwind covers.
Hardware only. Vocals & samples overdubbed afterwards. Synths just as they are.. no overdubs.. quite some noise from just the 3 Electribes eh?
The EA1 provides the main synth sounds, the ER1 the space sweeps & bleeps, and the EM1 the drum and bass.
The Korg Kaossilator is used for deep ambient tones you can just about make out filling the mid-range.

Hawkwind's 'You Shouldn't Do That' written by Nick Turner / Dave Brock and originally recorded by Hawkwind. This cover version is recorded by Witchsphere.

XOXBOX w/SokkOS

via this auction

"ITEM DESCRIPTION
This x0xb0x is in 100% working order and very clean. It was built from a Willzyx kit, so all of the rare parts are original and not copies as sold by less reputable x0xb0x dealers. Yes, there is a difference and I suggest you do some research before buying any x0xb0x. I'm an experienced builder & tech, so the unit is very well built. I also installed SokkOS 1.9, which is much better than the standard OS in my opinion.

I measured all of the 2SA733 transistors before installing them and selected the highest gains for Q10 (332hFE), Q9 (315hFE), & Q8 (309hFE). If you don't know why that's important, read this. The result is a filter that cracks, warbles, and bubbles beautifully. I think it's very difficult to hear the difference between this x0xb0x and an original TB-303. I have experience with both synths. The Adafruit x0xb0x was voted the best sounding TB-303 clone by Acid Voice.


This auction includes the x0xb0x unit, AC power adapter, and a hardcopy of the Build Manual, which tells you how to test, calibrate, and tune the unit."

Somewhere Waiting

YouTube Uploaded by JohnLRice on May 15, 2011

"I was going to title this:
"Here Is An Over Weight Middle Aged Man Playing '70s Space Rock On An Old School Style Modular Synthesizer That Didn't Think He Seemed Quite Geeky Enough So He Decided To Wear A Headband Video Camera Too!"
But . . . that title seemed a little too wordy so I just titled it "Somewhere Waiting" ;-)

This actually started out as two things:
1) I was going to see if the second hand Modcan diode filter has a slight power up bug or not
2) I was going to quickly try out my new Oakley Coglin VCF
And then slowly turning into "something". I wanted to take this a lot further development wise but, I couldn't spend any more time on it so I though I would just record a bunch of messing around with the patch and then edit it down to a few minutes. Instead I just threw the whole 11 minutes or so together with some video footage that was taken while my car was parked somewhere.

The lead voice is a MOTM-300 VCO through an Oakley Coglin VCF. The main repeating sequence is a Moon 569 sequencer controlling a MOTM-300 VCO through a Modcan 23B VCF AND controlling the Modcan 23B, so at the beginning and end of the peice you are just hearing the self oscillation of the VCF. The "snare drum" is pink noise through a MOTM-485 VCF and its EG is being triggered by the COTK C964 Ratchet Sequencer. The "Mellotron like" sequence that comes in occasionally is a Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer controlling two MOTM-300 VCOs through a COTK C1670 Ensemble Generator. (I'm using a MOTM-730 pulse divider and a Moon 564 sequential switch to allow it to play only every once in a while)

Thanks for watching!"
