"A reminder: there are only 2 days left to book at the discounted 79 USD hotel rate via the reservation link on knobcon.com site (your card will not be charged until the day of the event.) there is going to be some serious knob knerd socialising going on here and you're going to regret it if you don't stay onsite!

... and a request: if you want a table to show off your stuff, please RSVP via email (listed on knobcon.com) or other messaging technology to me. i'd like to know approximately how to lay the main room out.
thanks!"

Analog Synthesis Course by MusicInclusive LLC

"MusicInclusive™ LLC is an Indie label and publishing company that is also interested in artist education. They will be offering two 3-day live instructor-led hands-on courses in analog synthesis at the Marriott Hotel, Mechanisburg, PA, one starting Oct 17 and one Dec 18, entitled:

ANALOG SYNTHESIS (1.25V) - SYNTHESIZER PROGRAMMING : "How to make the knobs, dials, sliders, cables - and yes, even keyboards - do something cool!"

The course will cover the basics of analog synthesis - from psychoacoustics to waveforms, from oscillators to filters, from envelopes to patches. Training is open for anyone - from senior high-school to professional musician - and is designed to teach you how to make the best use of your analog synthesizer or VST® or RTAS® plugin, iPad® synthesizer application such as Animoog® or the the Korg iMS-20®, or any rack or patch-based digital or modeling or keyboard synthesizer based on an analog foundation.

Students will learn how to generate, modify and shape waveforms to produce all kinds of sounds - from emulating natural instruments to grungy synth basses and sparkling synth leads - from sound effects to space music, and you will get hands-on experience using both real and virtual synthesizers in the classroom.

Detailed information may be found here: http://www.musicinclusive.com/analog_synthesis_125V

Places are limited to ONLY 12 ATTENDEES PER CLASS and if you are interested in securing a place, you may BOOK NOW directly on the site here: http://www.musicinclusive.com/store

If you want more information, send an email to: inquiries@musicinclusive.com

We have other courses in the works as well - on Animoog and the iMS-20 - which will be followup classes to the Analog Synthesis class and will build on the principles learned there.

See you on the 17th October!"

Synth-Project DIVA C Hardware Controller for DIVA


You are looking at the DIVA Controller for Urs Heckmanns DIVA soft synth. This is hardware and not a render. According to the site there are "two Doepfer USB64 MIDI interfaces, one special wheel electronic for pitch and mod wheel and the MKE Electronic for the four octave Fatar keyboard with velocity. The controller has about 90 know and 25 switches…"

CGS (Serge) 8 Step Programmer Sequencer Demo.AVI


YouTube Published on Aug 23, 2012 by Richarius Molindarius

"And here we are boys and girl! :D Finally 8 months after buying the 9 PCBs, did I start putting this guy together, this past Monday. The 8 daughterboards went together in just over 3 hours, building them in the 'assembly line' format. The wiring to the mother board and the front panel combined though, took 2 more days along with a bit of bug solving yesterday and finishing it, this morning. She's working beauty! :D
If you don't have one and you want a very powerful configurable sequencer / programmer, get to ordering from Ken! :D It can be as short as 1 step, or as many steps as you like! :D Forwards, backwards, jumping to and fro between all of the steps. Manually triggerable as well as the ability to use each step to trigger external things. And 4 channels of Control Voltages! 1 pot for each step, for each channel. The amount of things that can be done with this thing, are scary! :o :D

Hope you enjoy! :D"

Quick note: Moving forward I will be using the Richarius Molindarius label for these rather than the old dolphinicus label.

"I frequently receive questions about my music setup and how I connect and record the various instruments, when filming my "Synth Jams". This video gives you an overview of my workflow, and hopefully inspires you to design your own live performance setup.

If you have further questions, post them underneath the video, or write me a message.

Of course I'm also interested in how you make music, so go ahead and tell me about your setup or link me to your own audio/video on the internet. :)
