MONOTRIBE! CV Sync w Bliptronic 5K - Part A - The LA CarMageddon Blues
YouTube Uploaded by VJFranzK on Jul 23, 2011
"DIY - Clever Prevails Again! I connected the sync out of the MonoTribe to the Bliptronic 5K, and then the headphone output of the BT5K back to the audio in of the MT, allowing the analog resonant filter of the MT to round out the "digital toy" sounds of the BT5K into an interesting timbre that at times resembles car horns honking the blues. ( Major contruction projects in LA caused a traffic jam dubbed "CarMageddon" recently, so it seems a perfect name. )"
VINTAGE 70s LOGAN STRING MELODY II
via this auction"Rarely offered for sale, this Italian made instrument produces lush retro string/orchestra sounds as well as spacey organ sounds.
Individual sounds like violin, viola and cello can be mixed in various combinations. There are controls to alter attack and sustain. Sounds amazing!"
Update: auction link updated. Thanks goes to popman in the comments for catching it.
Heavily Modified Roland MC-202
via this auctionTons of pics at the auction.
"This particular MC-202 has been modified with the same features as detailed here (with the exception of MIDI input): http://www.subatomicglue.com/202l0g/
The extra features are: CV/GATE/CUTOFF/PULSEWIDTH/PORTA/VOL/ACCENT/MOD/VCFINSERT/VCAINSERT.
The SPDT (on-on) toggles control PW (CV/INT), CUT (CV/INT), VCFMOD (CV/INT), ACC (VCA+F/VCA)
Having a proper CV input allows external control without stepping and lagging, which was problem with the factory CV input that runs through the MC-202 CPU."“The Masterpiece” Vintage Rhodes Chroma
via this auction
SN 21030828
"This beloved, historically significant keyboard has been carefully upgraded in 1986 at the CBS Fender Rhodes factory where they replaced the power supply and new eproms, and again in 2009 by Steve "Doc" Hickerson, a factory authorized Chroma technician who put in a brand new, completely redesigned power supply and brought the keyboard to like new spec. Doc has worked on Chroma's since they were introduced. He has a reputation for experienced, knowledgable, excellent work and has been trusted by a list of famous performers, to include Eric Clapton.
This is my 2nd Chroma. I purchased the first in June of 1983 at Music Sound World in Tulsa, Oklahoma where I was writing music for the soundtrack of “The Masterpiece” (Called Toymaker’s Dream back then).In 1984 CBS/Fender sent me a brand new (improved edition) Chroma, with the latest version of their upgrades and fixes. This is the one is the one being sold here.
Back then, the Rhodes Chroma was a REVELATION! It put million dollar sound technology at the touch of our fingers for a mere $5600. Amazing.
By today's standards it's still well specified. It was the only open architecture, multi-voiced, portable synth commercially available with a weighted keyboard and a programmable Expander (not included) that allowed for layering performances and sequencing those performances on a computer (before MIDI). I ran this one on an Apple IIE for awhile with MasterTracks 8 channel software and it performed perfectly.
We finished the soundtrack for “The Masterpiece” and I recorded a solo album with it 1985.
The rapid fire changes in keyboards caused by the introduction of MIDI made the Chroma an instrument better left to my home studio. That’s exactly where it has remained operating as the master keyboard in my suite through a Chromaface MIDI interface, for years (also being sold on eBay). The sheer weight of the Chroma (142 lbs. in the anvil flight case) made it impractical for the road. When it wasn't in use it was cased and carefully taken care of."
Resonator Neuronium by Katavist
Resonator Neuronium 1 - Summing Node from Katavist on Vimeo.
"This is the first in a series of Resonator Neuronium-demos attempting to debunk some erroneous assumptions about this machine, such as the one that it only spits out uncontrollable noise and can't be used/played as an instrument. Admittedly there's always some trial and error involved, and the machine definitely has its own will - but isn't that charming?
The only sound source in these videos is the Resonator Neuronium (with additional external effects).
