Wolfgang Palm Creates PPG Waveterm Demo Disk

via wolfgangpalm.com where you'll find an audio demo.

"Building up on my simulations of the Waveterm system, I assembled a demo disk with new wavetables and resonators. These were generated by analysis software, which I developed over the years. I could only dream of those tools in the old days! (1979) Today I can calculate wavetables in the optimal numerical range (limited by the 0-63 range) or can generate reasonable resonators. I did not enter the data by hand, but “injected” it directly into the waveterm by the simulator, and then saved it to the simulated disk. There is one version for the Waveterm-B and also one for the Waveterm-A.
Lars Johansson makes real floppy disks from the images I gave him. Infos can be obtained from him."

DOMINION X is MFB’s latest synthesizer. It combines analogue synthesis, programmability and modular patching. With advanced circuits, increased functionality and a new design, DOMINION X is the first of MFB’s next generation musical instruments.

DOMINION X offers three oscillators for maximum flexibility. Each waveform can be varied in symmetry. Besides altering the pulse width of a rectangle, you may also continuously turn a saw tooth into a triangle and a triangle into a sine. All oscillators also offer ring modulation. In addition, VCO 2 and VCO 3 can be synced to VCO1. Finally, VCO3 can modulate the frequency of VCO 1 and VCO 2. The analogue oscillator circuit is processor-controlled for stable tuning. To complete the available sound sources, noise or an external audio input can be added to the VCOs in DOMINION X’s mixer section.

The filter offers six operation modes. Available are three low pass variations with 12, 18 and 24 dB/oct. slopes. Also available are high pass-, band pass and a notch filter with slopes of 12 dB/oct. respectively 6 dB/oct. Variable filter modulations are possible via an invertible envelope, keyboard tracking, LFO, VCO, different MIDI controllers as well as by the use o the CV-input.

The two ADSR-type envelops are internally routed to the VCF- and VCA-sections. In addition, envelope 1 can also modulate the VCO section. LFOs 1 and 2 offer six waveform shapes including sample & hold. They may be switched to one-shot-modes to emulation simple envelopes. A third sine-LFO works in combination with a keyboard's modulation wheel and can dynamically address the VCO, VCF and VCA sections.

Modulations are assigned by the use of selector switches, located at the destinations. This allows easily setting and re-routing internal modulation paths – ideally for your live-performance.

To integrate external modulators, control- and audio sources, DOMINION X offers nine inputs. Therefore, oscillators, filter, VCA, CV/Gate and mixer can be easily combined with other analogue synthesizers such as MFB’s MEGAZWERG, analogue sequencers such as MFB’s URZWERG PRO or modular synthesizer systems.

An additional selector switch allows assignment of velocity for up to eleven modulation destinations.

DOMINION X offers 128 programmable patches for your personal sound creations. To support sound programming without an attached keyboard, different demo sequences are available. To use DOMINION X as a filter box for external audio sources, the VCA can be opened permanently. Finally, there is an insert available to integrate an effect or distortion unit into the signal path.

DOMINION X has the following dimensions: 330 x 170 x 60 mm. An external power supply is included."

ARP 2701 Pro Soloist with MIDI & Moog Filter

via this auction

"You might wonder why this is probably the most loved analog preset monosynth ever. I would venture it might well be due to its huge expression possibilities applied to the strikingly wonderful quality of its presets. It is interesting to know that its rich sound quality is in part due to its 4034 filter which is ARP's Moog ladder filter copy, before Moog's well-knowned law-suit and several bandpass filters. The Pro/DGX has the different sounding 4075 filter..."

Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue Deluxe

via this auction Close-up of the control sheet below. "The Flower Electronics Little Boy Blue Deluxe is a boutique synthesizer made by musician/sound artist Jessica Rylan. It was made in a limited edition, I purchased mine in 2006, and is no longer available from the manufacturer (i.e. pretty rare/collectable). Details are archived here - http://flowerelectronics.com/Deluxe.html Features: 2 voltage controlled oscillators, manual and voltage control of oscillator wave shapes, 1/4" input with variable gain, envelope follower with optional inverter, 2 channel mixer, intermodulating output stage, stylish oiled fir case LBB Deluxe runs on 2 9v batteries (supplied). Current drain is low, typically offering 50+ hours of battery life. The circuitry is hand-built with premium parts, using discrete transistors, no chips. Instruments are supplied with a set of banana cables for patching. Input and output are via standard 1/4" connectors. Output is a hot line level, for extra buzz. I have used this extensively for shows and recordings with the bands The Failed NASA Experiment, Black Stepdad, Lustfaust, Yajé, Evils, Fredrick Stanley Star and The (plexus) Collective. What that means is that whilst it has been well used it is really, really, really well built and has never failed. It is still in full working order and sounds as wicked as the day it was first bought. It has suffered a few scuffs and dents along the way and I have documented these in the pictures above to the best of my ability and these haven't affected the functionality at all. There are some sound samples on this page - http://flowerelectronics.com/Standard.html Here are some various videos to give you an idea of seeing it in action with other equipment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fET6naTUrfc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42SpcCP8a5w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC0Gz4PYndU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJz1KMg8BDc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfakMBKEag8 So it's a noisy little bugger ideally suited for power electronics, ambient noise and experiment scunge etc. It's great for effecting vocals/guitars/keys/etc or as a standalone sound/chaos generator. This (long and heavy going) VHS improv I did for Bang the Bore utilises the LBB Deluxe quite extensively - http://vimeo.com/21620771" [embed below]
