Extremely Rare 3 Manual LOWREY G-7000 Organ Synthesizer

via this auction
"This organ sold new for about $32,000

Auction includes Organ, Pedalboard, Nice Padded Bench, Owners Manual, Two "Style" cartridges [Variety 1 & Contempo 2] plus Two Lowrey Song books as pictured.

The organ has beautiful full sound with flutes and string sounds that Lowery organs are famous for via traditional organ stop tabs that are lighted plus a plethora of synthesized orchestral voices via lighted push buttons. The organ has a gorgeous, room-filling sound, from a host of built-in speakers including a very realistic Leslie rotating speaker simulator. Features GALORE!!

~THINK OF THIS ORGAN AS A GIANT PRESET SYNTHESIZER MONSTER!~

Built in Rhythms and auto accompaniment features makes this organ a breeze to play and learn on. Split-voicing function on lower keyboard gives you even more performance options - like having a phantom 4th keyboard/manual. Designed for both the beginner and advanced organist. Excellent for advanced players as well as the organ can be played as a typical organ without automatic features as well. This thing looks real cool when light up in a dimly lit room - My wife says it looks like a futuristic jukebox on steroids! Cabinet is in good condition with typical scratch/dents here-and-there and slight surface marring on left-side. Has tambour, wooden roll-top for when the organ is not being used. Lights and indicators on the back rail push-button control panel are working and lighted LCD display is in good condition and easy-to-read. Alesis Reverb. Lighted graphic mixer for balancing the organ voices /sounds to your liking. I brought this organ from an older gentleman's estate for conversion to a virtual theatre pipe organ and MIDI controller for external MIDI synthesizer modules because of the three full sized keyboards and pedalboard and its MIDI capabilities but decided to go in another direction. All functions on the organ were working fine when purchased but now the upper keyboard doesn't work as it should which I suspect was the result of moving the organ [movers placed it on its back when it was transported]. I don't have a local organ tech but have been in touch with a few organ techs on-line who said that the problem is most likely due to a loose circuit board that got disturbed during the move [not guaranteed that this is the problem, just a suggestion]. As it wasn't a concern of mine, I didn't pursue repairing the sound function as I was intending using it for its MIDI capabilities and creating a HUGE MONSTER Synthesizer & Virtual Pipe Organ. [However, if you want to use this organ with the internal voices, I wanted you to be aware of this and that the upper keyboard section will need attention].

The organ is heavy - about 300-350 +/- lbs."

via the Lowrey story pdf on Lowrey.com:
"1989 - Lowrey has brought forth the G-7000, the largest regular production home organ in the world, featuring three 61-note keyboards and 25 console pedals. The G-7000 represents the culmination of the Genius Series and uses the full compliment of Lowrey easy-play features. Digital Genius voicing is introduced, by far the most authentic- sounding musical voices available."

Bee Gees Rhythm Machine


via this auction

"This 1978 Vintage Bee Gees Rhythm Machine is a great addition to any music collection. The Mattel Synthesizer still works and has three different settings (Disco, Pop & Latin). It has been used by many artists to add a unique sound to a recording or live show. The auction comes with the original box and music book but both are in rough shape. The actual synthesizer is in great vintage shape with a clean battery compartment area and cover. Just plug in a 9-Volt battery and you are ready!"

CONAIR Circuit Bent SOUNDS OF NATURE

via this auction
"It has 10 different nature sounds......, tropical forest, thunderstorm, summer night, ocean waves, whitenoise, heartbeat, songbirds, waterfall, running stream, rainfall.

I have add 2 body contacts,a pitch pot with ball knob to turn the pitch waaaaay down for amazing drone sounds and a RCA output jack to send the signal to an amp or stereo system. There is also an internal speaker so you don't have to plug it into an amp to hear sounds.

A great source for sampling sounds or for use live on stage. The size of this unit is approx.8" x 5" x 2". It uses 4 ``AA`` cells,not included. Will also work with a 9 volt power adaptor, not included.(If you use buy it now i will include a power adaptor)

Volume control on front of unit and a switch to set for auto timer on/off.

Here is a list of the circuit bent features:
- 2 body contacts that change the pitch and tone of the sound when you touch them.
- 1 Pitch change pot with ball knob to drop the pitch waaaaay down for amazing drone sounds.
- 1 RCA audio output jack to send the signal to an amp or stereo system.

This unit will work as normal with all bending controls off.This unit is designed for recording sounds in the studio. It can make some amazing sounds and drones! It makes sounds that you can't get from any other instrument! Great for techno, sound FX, electronic music."

Muon Tau Bassline Demo

Muon Tau Bassline Demo by Bronto Scorpio
"Just Tau Bassline and a simple delay."
Note: the demo above is the Tau Bassline 10th Anniversary Edition which is different than the following. See the update below.


"Tau Bassline MkII is a monophonic bass line synthesiser with a single digitally modelled analogue oscillator, filter and decay envelope. Despite the basic architecture a wide range of synthetic bass tones can be created and tweaked in real-time, ideal for the acid and techno purist.

FEATURES

64-bit waveform oscillator - with 2x oversampling for authentic warm analogue style sawtooth and square waveforms, without noise or digital artefacts.

18db Lowpass resonant filter - carefully modelled to have a classic, squelchy tone.

Full MIDI control - fully assignable MIDI CCs mean you can just right click on the user interface and link up to your hardware controller straight away.

COMPATIBILITY
Tau Bassline MkII is now compatible with the latest VST2.4 and Audio Unit host programs for Windows and OSX computers."

Update via Muon Software Ltd the comments: "Just wanted to say hi and thanks for the post. The audio demo is actually Tau Bassline 10th Anniversary Edition however, not Tau MkII.

If you want to get hold of Tau 10th Anniversary for free, look us up on Facebook.

Kind regards

Euclidean Rhythms MIDI Pattern Demo


YouTube Uploaded by WouterHisschemoller on May 21, 2011

"This is a short demo of a Java application I wrote that generates polyrhythms based on a mathematical algorithm, also known as Euclidean rhythms. The application sends MIDI notes to connected soft- or hardware. In this demo MIDI is sent to four tracks in Ableton Live, where each track recives on a different MIDI channel.

The video serves as an illustration for an article about the software. Read it here:
http://www.hisschemoller.com/2011/euclidean-midi-patterns

There's some tracks I made with the software on my SoundCloud page:
