LOGAN STRING MELODY 1974 | HD DEMO

YouTube Published on Jun 1, 2012 by AnalogAudio1

"I played the String Melody dry, without any effects.

The Logan String Melody is one of the earliest string keyboards (string machine). It was produced in in Italy. In Germany, some units were produced under the "Hohner International" label - like the one in the video. The String Melody was inspired by the ARP / Solina String-Ensemble. It has strings in 3 footages (CELLO, VIOLA, VIOLIN), which are mixable via volume faders. ATTACK and SUSTAIN of the strings is tweakable. Each half of the keyboard has these features. Two bass presets can be added to the left half of the keyboard.

It has a decent analog string tone, 3 footages can achieve bombastic string pads. I would wish it had some kind of vibrato..."

Gotharman DeMoon Synthesizer

"The Gotharman DeMoon is an amazing handbuilt four-note polyphonic filterbank synthesizer with a built-in granulator, distortion, step sequencer, and note randomizer. This is not your run of the mill virtual analog emulator but a much grittier, ballsier alternative perfect for building dirty, glitch 4-bit/8-Bit sounds as well as speaker shaking bass, screaming lead sounds and lush pads.

These are like hen's teeth now and this unit is in MINT condition, complete with the protective plastic cover over the LCD screen

The DeMoons four oscillators are continuously variable from triangle to saw to noise and waveshaping can be modulated from all sources, including the oscillators themselves. The oscillator section also has two LFOs and an envelope plus the polyphonic and unison (with detune option) modes already give you a diversity of sounds from this section alone.

The deMOON's four filters are independently programmable and can be routed in series or parallel with individual low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filters. The DeMoon also features the Minigran, a brilliantly easy granular synthesis engine that works by cutting up and rearranging the input into small fragments to generate new timbres. It also features an inbuilt distortion unit that has five kinds of distortion effects from your regular gain and fuzz up to insane distortion effects like XDIS that will really "destroy" your sound.

The DeMoon also features an intuitive step sequencer and note randomizer - dead simple to formulate stunning arrangements as well as a MIDI in channel for use with MIDI controllers.

I can't really do this unit justice you have to check out the sounds - and the peerless Nick BAtt gives his usual excellent overview right here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK8JONB_q7U

"This box features a "log amp" that lets you convert the Korg & Yamaha Hz / Volt CV control to the V / Oct standard used by Moog and others. You can also go the other way using the onboard anti-log amp. The MS-02 also has CV junctions, trigger processing with inversion and an adding amp."
