"Here is a super rare ELECTRO HARMONIX MINI SYNTHESIZER model EH 0400. Unit is fully working 100% and comes with the original EHX power supply. 2 fresh 9 volts are included so you can play anywhere from the onboard speaker, which sounds really crisp and crunchy. The keys have been weathered cosmetically over time by some previous owner who got a little excited... However the playability of the keyboard is still flawless. Every key works and has a solid, fat tone. I opened it up and cleaned the interior and sliders as best I could. Everything is original, including the cardboard back cover. This is a rare collectors item, and this thing packs a serious punch for it's size and the sound does not disappoint. I ran it through a couple of 4x10 bass cabs and this synth blew the roof off my practice space. You will fall in love with the quirky nature of the EH 0400. The sound gets pretty far out there from Hendrix riffs to unknown cosmological territory.

I can film this unit in operation for you but that's already been done... check out this VIDEO..."

The China Concerts (Part 8 of 9) - Jean Michel Jarre

"Peking: October 21st and 22nd, 1981 & Shangai: October 26th, 27th and 28th, 1981.

... After two years of negotiations, the Government of the People's Republic of China agreed for the first time to officially invite a western contemporary musician to give a series of concerts in Peking and Shangai.

... On October 12th, a team of sixty musicians and technicians left Paris for Peking with 15 tons of stage gear in the plane's hold. A gigantic stage installation, one of the most sophisticated concert happenings yet seen, and the technical, diplomatic and human accomplishment of five triumphant concerts fired the Chinese public with enthusiasm.

... The film of the China Concerts retraces this unique adventure, and, with Jarre's music, illustrates post-Mao China: its sufferings, its beauty, its desire for modernity, its aspiration for liberty ... images captured in 1981, at a historical moment when it seemed China was opening itself to the outside world...

... In 9 parts. :-("

ROLAND PHASE FIVE Rare Vintage Analogue Phaser

"Offered for sale is this Roland Phase Five pedal in perfect working order. These rare units were amongst the earliest pedals made by the Roland Corporation in Japan in the mid seventies. It's a pretty interesting phaser - the speed ramps up or down between the fast and slow settings (using the footswitch on the right) just like a Leslie speaker. Things get really interesting when you select the Touch Control function using the middle switch and adjust the Sensitivity - the phasing gets more intense the harder you play, again ramping up or down. I believe this is a unique effect and is very effective in use, the dynamics of your playing adding a swirling intensity. See the YouTube demo below to get a clearer picture of the effect."

"Vintage Roland AP-5 Phase Five in action. Watch the sensitivity-section affects the phasing - the harder you play, the more phaaaazze you get. Also, see how you can switch between fast and slow phasing using the Continous Control section"

BeHringer Mini FEX and the Vamp 3 - Con Moerenhout

YouTube Published on Aug 24, 2012 by conmoerenhout111

"By this experiment, I have used my Synthix software. I have used one of the ARP synthesizers for the basic riff. For the rhythm I have used komplete7 Elements.
At the first sound, I use the microKorg. I have this run through the Behringer Mini FEX effects and the Vamp 3. The mini effects were 2 times the FBX and 1 times the FBQ.
At the second sound I used the Mono Tribe. Which I have this run through the Mini FEX effects run."

"Vocoder" The higher number of bands the clearer the vocoding. Similar to bit reduction but different of course. Vocoding deals with harmonic bands while bit reduction deals with the number of digital bits sampling a sound.

"Here's a bit of a review from sound on sound explaining all of the units functions:
The front panel is divided into three main sections, the first of which is Formant Input. Here there's a variable-gain mic amp with XLR input, basic 3-LED level metering, and a Select button that scrolls around Mic, Line (Ess On), Line (Ess Off), and Auto. The Ess On setting is designed to help vocals remain clear after processing, while the other setting is used for instruments. I suspect that Ess On routes vocal fricatives (sibilant 'S' and 'T' sounds) directly to the output, though no technical explanation is given. The Auto setting vocodes the Source input with itself, so any peaks and dips in the frequency response are exaggerated.

Next is the Formant Warp section, whose controls include:

Band, which optimises performance for low- or high-frequency sounds, with the lower setting designed for use with drums, bass instruments, and so on. Once again, no explanation of exactly how this works is given, but it's my guess that it changes the frequencies of the vocoder filter bands. Gender, which moves the formant of the sound feeding the Formant input (usually a voice) up or down without changing the musical pitch.

Q and Order, which affect the Q (bandwidth) and resolution of the digital filters. Playing with these brings about some very noticeable timbral changes: as Q is advanced, the sound quality becomes more resonant, as you'd expect, but it also seems more granular and electronic. Order reduces the intelligibility of the voice and rounds the sound out more, so for clearer enunciation lower settings are best. Noise Mix, for adding noise into the Source signal path, which can help make vocal effects more intelligible, not to mention more hissy and menacing.

Formant Freeze, which allows the filter shape to be frozen at any instant in time, for static filtering.

An oscillator is also included, to allow users to generate the familiar budget sci-fi robot voice effect. This is variable from 92Hz to 241Hz, or it may be switched off. As in the case of the FilterFactory, all the controls output and receive MIDI controller data, so sequencer automation of any function is possible, and a MIDI dump of the current settings can be made.

In the Output section you'll find a Mix control, but this mixes only between the Source input and the treated signal. It isn't possible to mix any of the Formant input directly into the output to improve intelligibility, unless you use an external mixer. The Source Kill button, however, is quite useful. When this is switched on there is no audio output from the WarpFactory unless both inputs are present, while if it is switched off the Source signal will continue to sound even if the Formant input stops."
