This project was a really difficult, it was 70% timing and 30% execution. Many people have seen videos with floppies and stepper motors playing songs. These motors have a quick response time because they are not under a heavy load. The problem with a flatbed scanner is the large moving carriage head. It was not designed to move quickly and when it is playing music you will notice the head changes directions. This is to prevent the carriage from smashing into the chassis. So as the notes are playing the carriage head has to periodically change direction and this will add many seconds to a 3 or 4 minute song. As for the drums they are just a couple of solenoids connected to a pulley system in order to ampilfy the movement.

My Tangerines dream of a Diva in a red shift - free download by OctopusEmpire
"An ambient track, the inspiration should be obvious from the track title. All sounds except drums are from the latest beta of U-He Diva, no analog synths were harmed in the making of this track. Some reverb overall from Logic, otherwise all effects from Diva.
All patches are original, no presets used.

If there were underwater nightclubs with chillout rooms, this would be what hundreds of Octopi would be grooving around to, I'm sure.
Enjoy."

Gets going after the three minute mark.

Fearless love (Sleepwalker solitude mix) by OctopusEmpire
"'Ready to be, what I am
Still not knowing what it includes"
At the request of rbarata on KVR, I reworked my Diva demo - My Tangerines dream of a Diva in a Red Shift. The original moved from fairly experimental to predictable Berlin school electronica about half way through. The challenge was to redo the track without this shift to make the track more true to it's beginnings.
With the addition of a stunning emotional vocal from rain_and_sun and a few more hours of work Fearless love (Sleepwalker solitude mix) was finished. It is by far my most experimental piece but probably one of the most rewarding, emotional and powerful pieces I have written (in my humble opinion).
It is difficult to leave a track so sparse, there are always empty areas that could be filled in with more and more noises. My pride and enjoyment from this piece comes from not filling in those gaps.
Thankyou to rain_and_sun and to rbarata without whom this track would not have been."

Ensoniq ESQ-1 Synthesizer - 3.53 Hidden Waves OS & More

via this auction

"The ESQ has a great voice architecture in that it has three DCOs and a rich analog VCF per voice. The Hidden Waves OS EPROM allows for some amazing sounds and textures by giving you access to more DCO waveforms. A fresh CR2032 battery was installed in a new battery holder, replacing the old solder-tab lithium battery. The ESQ-1 has the SQX-10 Sequencer Expander Cartridge which expands the sequencer capacity to 10,000 notes. This ESQ-1 is the more solid metal model which predates the later plastic models..."

Doepfer A100 Basic System 2 Portable (Black Case) With MIDI

via this auction

Noisebug (RSS)

"The a-100 basic system 2 is a portable true analog modular synthesizer. This modular system is capable of creating basslines, leads, pads, percussion and effects plus filter processing. The Midi module makes this system compatible with keyboards, sequencers and computers.

The voltage-controlled oscillators have a solid frequency range of eight octaves. It can produce four waveforms simultaneously: square, sawtooth, triangle, and sine wave. The frequency or pitch of the vco is determined by the position of the octave (range) switch and tuning (tune) knob, and by the voltage present at the cv inputs. Frequency modulation (fm) of the vco is therefore a possibility. Footage (the octave of the fundamental) is set by the range control, and fine tuning controlled by the tune knob.

Also included is a voltage controlled low-pass filter, which filters out the higher parts of the sound spectrum, and lets lower frequencies pass through. the cut-off frequency determines the point at which filtering takes effect. You can control this manually, or by voltage control (filter modulation, for instance by an lfo). The vcf1 is a "transistor ladder" design, with a cut-off slope of -24 db/octave, as in various moog synthesizers. That's what gives it its classic, legendary moog sound. The filter resonance (or emphasis) is adjustable all the way up to self-oscillation - in which case the filter behaves like a sine wave oscillator.

This system is based on the Eurorack format and is compatible with most of the new eurorack module makers out there along with modular synths and vintage keyboards like Arp, Moog and Oberheim. It is also 100% Portable!
