SN 2601

See the seller's other items for more.

"This is your chance to own a one-of-a-kind piece of music history!!! This is THE Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 vintage analog synthesizer owned and used extensively in studio and touring by Paul Humphreys of OMD during the 1980's. It has been used on many of OMD's greatest hits. The memory patches are loaded with original sounds created by Paul and show the virtuosity of this synth pioneer. You will never see or hear another one like it!

This synth was acquired directly from Paul Humphreys' ex-wife at the Southern California home where he lived and worked during the 1980's. It is version 3.2 and has recently been restored to perfect working condition by Audio Rehab, a top vintage synth repair shop in L.A. Cosmetically, it shows the wear you would expect from a work horse of the 80's OMD sound."

HackMe Rockit Demo


YouTube Published on May 17, 2012 by snolan1990

"This is a demonstration of some of the sounds and features of this HackMe Rockit synthesizer, designed by Matthew Heinz, which I built from kit a little while back. This demo is less about music and more about the technology and functions of the machine so if you are not into synths you will probably find it boring. You can find out all about the synth or order your own kit from this site http://hackmeopen.com/?page_id=474&fb_source=message.

The Rockit is a dual oscillator monophonic synthesizer. The oscillators are 8 bit and each have 16 different waveforms. It has a VCA with full ADSR as well as a multi-mode 2 pole VCF again with full ADSR. Add to this a pair of LFOs with complex routeing options, Full MIDI support and 16 patch memories and you have a nice little package.

Because of the 8 bit wave table oscillators this thing can do a plethora of Atari sound with the VCA and VCF wide open but once you start get them involved then it moves over to more traditional analogue mono sounds.

Just so you are aware I built the little box case for my Rockit from scratch, the designer does have a case for sale from his site but I am planning to rack mount this thing at some point so I built my own cheap case as a temporary method of keeping it dust free."

Donna Summer - Love To Love You Baby(1975)

YouTube Uploaded by glauciomunduruca on Sep 10, 2006

Donna Summer passed a way today at the age of 63.

"In 1975, Summer approached Moroder with an idea for a song she and Bellotte were working on for another singer. She had come up with the lyric 'love to love you, baby'. Moroder was interested in developing the new sound that was becoming popular and used Summer's lyric to develop the song. Moroder persuaded Summer to record what was to be a demo track for another performer. She later said that she had thought of how the song might sound if Marilyn Monroe had sung it and began cooing the lyrics. To get into the mood of recording the song, she requested Moroder turn off the lights while they sat on a sofa with him inducing her moans and groans. After hearing playback of the song, Moroder felt Summer's version should actually be released. Although some radio stations refused to play it due to its suggestive style, "Love to Love You" found chart success in several European countries, and made the Top 5 in the United Kingdom... In 1977, Summer released the concept album I Remember Yesterday. This album included her second top ten single, 'I Feel Love', which reached number six in the US and number one in the UK."

I feel love - Roland Juno 60

Published on Apr 6, 2012 by harbalite

"I Feel Love (Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte) played by midi connected (via Kenton PRO DCB) Roland Juno 60. Bass drum is Jomox MBase 01. All other sounds from the Juno 60. All sounds analogue, no effects other than the Juno Chorus effects. Cakewalk Music Creator 6 used for midi and recording. No harm intended"

Happy Nerding Super Sawtor - First Impressions


YouTube ublished on May 17, 2012 by JohnLRice

"This is just some footage of me messing around with the new Super Sawtor module from Happy Nerding. I'll do another video later that describes what is going on in detail.

The Super Sawtor takes a sawtooth wave from a VCO as an input and "animates" it so that it sounds anywhere from slightly modulated to something like many VCOs at once.

With this video I'm often switching back and forth between the straight unprocessed sawtooth wave and the processed Sawtor output set at various degrees of "spread". The video starts out mono and then later I has the second channel. At one point I modulate the top channel with a LFO and also add some delay/echo during the last couple sections."
