MTI Auto-Orchestra

via this auction

"Here's an MTI model AO-1 Auto-Orchestra. Back in the day this was intended to be sort of an all purpose accompaniment machine. It included drum beats, plus accompaniments consisting of bass, strings and sort of organ chording. The bass, string and chord tones run from a set of bass foot pedals (similar to a Moog Taurus). The chords play automatically and are pattern synched to the drum beats. The bass notes can either be played fully "manually" with the pedals, or can be set to be sort of semi-arpeggiated, also synched to the drums. There was also a volume pedal that could be selected to control one or a few of the different sounds...

One other thing that I'm not too sure about -- you can see in the pictures below there's a line of switches at the bottom of the machine marked Drums, Chords, Bass and Strings. The last 3 of these are latching toggles that turn the respective sounds on and off. The Drums switch, though, doesn't latch and doesn't seem to do anything that I can determine. It's normally in the "out" position, which should be (according to the standard of the other 3 switches) drums off rather than drums on, but the drums are definitely on. So I don't don't know if it's broken or it's been modified or if that switch is intended to do something I'm not understanding. In any case, you can turn the drums off by pushing the "Start/Stop" button or by turning down (or pushing in) the drum volume control. If anybody is familiar with these machines and knows whether the Drums button is suppose to latch or what it's supposed to do, if you message me I'd love to post any information you might have here.

As far as the bass pedals go, the machine uses a very simple scheme. One of the pins on the keyboard connector is +5 volts, and each of the other pins represents one note. Just connect the 5 volts to whichever note you want to sound. You could wire this up to some yanked organ pedals like I had planned to do, or you could just put a line of momentary stomp box switches on a panel or who knows what else. I bought a male connector for the keyboard port -- it's not pictured here, but I still have it and I'll include it if you want it..."

Arturia updates SPARK Creative Drum Machine to v1.5

"GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is shipping Version 1.5 of SPARK Creative Drum Machine, the latest update to its highly-creative hybrid hardware/software beat production centre, as of October 2...

Upon its June 2011 release, SPARK Creative Drum Machine revolutionised hands-on beat-making by cleverly combining analogue synthesis, physical modelling, and samples with the intuitive workflow of a hardware drum machine, as well as offering in-depth control over the sounds of the 30 classic analogue and digital drum machines it so successfully captured; now, with the introduction of Version 1.5, Arturia has taken the art of creative rhythm programming and performance to a whole new level with a dazzling array of new performance-orientated features and a truly heavyweight library totalling 118 kits/1,800 instruments!

New to Version 1.5 is the Tune feature, allowing users to easily compose melodies on the MIDI controller’s hardware drum pads and sequencer step buttons; the sample engine now enables Choke groups, so users can creatively specify samples that will cut each other off when triggered — perfect for emulating a hi-hat ‘choke’, for example (whereby triggering an open-hat sample first, followed immediately by a closed-hat sample will authentically cut off the open-hat prematurely), and also offers creative modes for layering samples (circular, random, stack, threshold); finally, the flexible FX Pad now includes the famed Oberheim SEM V filter featured in Arturia’s acclaimed Oberheim SEM V soft synth namesake, bringing unique warmth and depth to those still-sought-after synth sweeps.

Last, but by no means least, Version 1.5 sees SPARK Creative Drum Machine’s library considerably expanded to include no less than 28 new kits exploring the current span of electronic and urban music stylings — from euphoric EDM synths to almighty analogue dubstep kits, as well as the latest in alternative hip-hop, Arturia has teamed up with the world’s most in-demand sound designers to bring professional perfection to any production.

Thanks to Version 1.5, there has never been a better time than now to ignite your rhythmic creativity with SPARK Creative Drum Machine... beat the future!


SPARK Creative Drum Machine can be purchased from the Arturia online store (http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/buy/online-shop.html) or any dealer for €499.00 EURO/$599.00 USD"
