Drummed Up Basses - Studio Electronics Boomstar 4075 Drums and Bass by Drew Neumann

Published on Feb 7, 2013 StudioElectronics·5 videos

"A pleasantly chatty live tweaking session of the Boomstar 4075 demonstrating its very capable analog synth drum and bass sound creation muscle----mystery arm and a touch of delay and reverb sweetening included. No EQ, or compression here, just a touch of squeezing in Peak and gain boosting in Soundbooth (yes Soundbooth has its place) to "bring" the loudness to which we've all become too accustomed, perhaps unfortunately."

All parts here.

Fun, K?

EDP Wasp in Mint Collector's Condition w/ Elby MIDI & Box

via this auction
"EDP Wasp in Mint collector's condition, with Elby MIDI fitted and box

MIDI is inside. The MIDI in socket replaced one of the Link sockets so no extra holes.
There is also a filter cutoff CV input. This comes out the cab of the case on a flying lead - the reason is again, so no holes drilled.

There are no marks or scratches, it looks new! Which is unusual. Normally the keyboard graphic is worn, and the case split around the screw holes.

Comes with original box, which is now so old it's deteriorated!"

Atari Video Music C-240 with Lars Larsen (LZX Switched On) Mods

via this auction

"The original Atari C-240 Video Music device is rare, and here is an even rarer unit with modifications by Lars Larsen from LZX Industries! Switched On, the synthesizer store in Austin had Larsen modding c240s for a brief time in 2010 and 2011 before Larsen moved on and started LZX.

The some modifications that make this unit 1000x more handy than an original:
Replaced the terrible flimsy wall wart power supply with a new standard 3 prong
Replaced the coaxial output that required RF demodulation to be usable with a standard component (yellow rca) out
Replaced the rca audio input with standard 1/4" input
The other modifications are a bit more esoteric:
Extra Inputs
Atari Fuzz Chip output
Knobs and switches to control video grids
Someone else wrote all this stuff up and provided a youtube link, and the description is proper:
'This is a limited edition video music modified by Switched On Music Electronics in Austin Texas. Switched On modified 10 of these last year, adding a composite video output (NTSC), 1/4" audio inputs and outputs, a fuzz output (audio from the Atari's built-in distortion circuit=insane FUZZ), and waveform mixer controls for the comparator. With the mods, the Video Music can function as a video synthesizer with no audio input at all--this gives you quite a bit of control over color and shape. It is difficult to achieve this sort of functionality without spending thousands on new LZX system.'"

"Camel Audio announces availability of Biolabs: Light Space

EDINBURGH, UK: professional audio plug-ins developer Camel Audio is proud to announce availability of Biolabs: Light Space, the latest in a line of highly-affordable and creatively inspirational ‘powered by Alchemy’ range of sound libraries, compatible with their free Alchemy Player v1.5 or Alchemy v1.5 — the ultimate sample manipulation synthesizer...

All presets are beautifully blended with a richness of round-robin variation and multi-layered instrumental complexity, covering a wide range of genres and moods, musically suited to ambient, electronica, and soundtracks.
