MATRIXSYNTH T Sighting

MATRIXSYNTH T spotted in the wild and some synth spotting.

springreverb

YouTube Uploaded by canmarcvancouver on Aug 22, 2011

"We found and dead guitar amp in a field. This one had a spring reverb tank inside. We pulled it out and hooked it up and it sounds awesome. So if you go looking for old junk to make cool sound effects with, an old spring reverb is always a fine choice."

"The synth is an sh101 has the filter closed, 100% keytracking, 100% enveloppe, zero attack, half decay, zero SR. It's a sequence Jesse came up with on the fly so we could test out the reverb.

The signal path is = Sh-101->DI->reverb tank->DI->Focusrite ISA1

We added the DI box (black box in the video) to properly isolate the tank. We used a clean gain stage (focusrite ISA1) because we have it, but it's not necessary. Reverb tanks can be used with super cheap gear and still will be a great effect and there are dead guitar amps everywhere, and they themselves are super clean, but you either need to hit them hard or crank their gain cleanly. Most musicians will hit them with a lot of signal instead and get a lot of signal out them so the high end pre-amp isn't vital. Because they are passive devices you can nail them with a ridiculously loud signal.

This tank also has two small isolation transformers on it, visible in the tank at both ends so we didn't really need our DI box in there. You should always isolate a reverb tank though. Check the tanks you find, they don't always have transformers in them. If not, a stereo DI box is $20, or a pair of audio transformers at the local shop is $5."

Ensoniq SQ80 Synthesizer

via this auction

Posting this one here vs. C for the verbiage from the manual. It's always interesting to see how manufacturers presented their synths.

"Welcome to the ENSONIQ SQ-80, the first studio synthesizer designed 'for live performance. In a world of synthesizers, sequencers, MIDI controllers and MIDI disk drives, the SQ-80 is something different. It is all of those things and more, in one easy-to-use device. Here's what you get:

• An eight-voice, polyphonic, poly-timbral synthesizer, capable of playing eight different sounds at once, with dynamic stereo panning for each voice.
• Voice section employing state-of-the-art CrossWaveTM synthesis techniques; combine different attack and sustain segments to create a rich variety of complex, dynamic sounds.
• 256k bytes of synthetic, sampled and multi-sampled wavedata in ROM — 75 different Waves.
• Dynamic Voice assignment — each Track/MIDI Channel has access to all eight voices.
• An integrated eight-track MIDI sequencer with 20.000 note capacity and features you would expect to find on stand-alone or computer-based Sequencers.
• A full-featured MIDI controller keyboard capable of sending eight MIDI Program and Volume changes at once.
• Key (Poly) Pressure keyboard — Polyphonic Pressure (or After-touch) affects only the note or notes you press down on, allowing a whole new level of expressiveness. Of course, for sending to instruments which only recognize Mono (or "Channel") Pressure, the SQ-80 can send that too.
• A 3.5" disk drive for fast and reliable storage of up to 600 Sequences and up to 1,728 Programs on a single disk.
• Disk storage for all your MIDI devices —the ability to receive and save to disk any System Exclusive message of up to 64k bytes from any device.
• An eighty-character fluorescent Display and user-friendly "Page-driven" programming scheme to help you keep track of it all.
• Stereo Headphone jack for private listening at home or in the studio.
• Program and Sequence formats which are upwardly compatible with the ENSONIQ ESQ-1, so sounds and sequences created for the ESQ-1 can be played on the SQ-80.

Enough with the verbiage from the manual. What you are getting is a working as new Synthesizer! No broken keys. It comes with 1 Voice Crystal #3."
