Red C64 Synth MSSIAH SID2SID Commodore Custom 8-bit Synth

via this auction

"Here are some of the features of this custom C64:
-Custom paint job in fire engine red.
-MSSIAH Vinyl Keyboard labels: full digital color prints that show the functions of MSSIAH
-MSSIAH: The MSSIAH is a midi cartride for the Commodore 64. It has a suite of applications that you can use to play the c64 via midi. I controlled mine with Ableton Live 8. Worked like a charm. http://www.8bitventures.com/mssiah/
-SID2SID: An additional circuit board to add a 2nd SID chip. I have two 8580 sid chips installed. They each have a separate 1/4" output. It gives you 6 voices of polyphony/6 tracks in MSSIAH Sequencer and Drummer apps, as well as mirroring the output from your first SID chip to your second SID chip in MONO and Bassline modes, to give you stereo output. http://www.8bitventures.com/sid2sid/
-Video Output Mod: RCA Composite Video Out. Just plug an RCA cord into the screen of your choice, from this output, and you can see the MSSIAH program in action.
-Feedback Mod: 500k pot. Sid input is grounded when it is turned to the left. Turn it to the right to apply feedback. Will make the sounds much filler and grittier.
-2 500K Pots: One controls the feedback, the other can control parameters in the MSSIAH software.
-Filter Input Mod: 1/4" Audio Input to Sid #1 for filtering external sources or samples.
-C64 1351 Mouse: Use it to control MSSIAH.
-Joystick
-Power Supply"

Circular Keyboard

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Aug 23, 2011

"A couple of christmases ago I made a decoration that was inspired by J.M.Jarre's circular keyboard from the 1980's. Now it's time to take it one step further.

In this video I make an actual circular keyboard out of it. But I still need to make some kind of electronics for it. But now that I have made the mechanical part I don't believe that the rest will be that difficult.

The music is something I made in the year 2000 and is a Barbie-like take on Ralph Hütter and Florian Schneider's "Europe Endless" originally recorded by Kraftwerk in 1977. The arpeggio is made using a PC programme called SEQ-303. It is basically a 16 step sequencer on a PC with sliders and MIDI control. The rest is played on Yamaha HE-8 organ, Roland SH-2000 synthesizer, and Kawai MS-20 keyboard."

New MATRIXSYNTH.COM Domain Coming - Possible Site Outage

Just a heads up. I'm switching over to matrixsynth.com domains for the site. M will be m.matrixsynth.com, B will be b.matrixsynth.com, C will be c.matrixsynth.com and some of my non synth sites will move over if you track them, WATCHMATRIX for example. Note you shouldn't need to do anything on your end. Blogger will redirect you including all old links you might have. However, there might be a short downtime. Don't panic, the site will be back up soon. I just tested one and there was about a five minute downtime. MATRIXSYNTH will switch over last.

Done at 2:32 PM. Zero downtime.

Update: it looks like the Google Search box on the top right stopped working. I'm guessing the site will need to be re-crawled with the new domain name. We'll see how it goes.
