MATRIXSYNTH Site Performance Load Issues Fixed

For those of you who have been having trouble loading the site, the problem should now be fixed. Turns out it was due to the Archives widget on the right of the site. On most browsers it would not load the full archive tree until you started expanding it. I'm guessing on some browsers it would actually attempt to load the full tree or a good portion of it. At over 90,628 posts including this one, that would definitely be a problem. As a quick fix, I have the widget set to only show up on this page on the top right. Don't click on the link if you were experiencing the load problem as it will likely hang your browser again.

If you are still seeing load issues on the site, please comment below or shoot me an email - email icon is in the Contact section at the bottom right of the site.

SPARTACUS - Sura's Theme - Theremin/Chelys

Published on Mar 14, 2013 copperleaves·58 videos

"This music is "Sura's Theme" from the television series, SPARTACUS. I am playing it on a Moog Etherwave Pro theremin, and a replica of an ancient Greek lyre known as the "chelys". According to Greek legend, this instrument was invented by the god Hermes, who took the shell of a tortoise and the horns of an antelope, stretched a skin over the shell then added some strings. He later gave the instrument to Orpheus.

The chelys in this video has 12 strings and is tuned to a diatonic scale."

Techno demo of Elektron Analog Four, NI Maschine MK2, Arturia Minibrute by Jordan Passmore.

Published on Mar 14, 2013 Jordan Passmore·49 videos

"Here is a demo I recorded of the Elektron Analog Four, Native Instruments Maschine MK2, and Arturia Minibrute. The A4 is doing the bassline and main melody, the Minibrute is doing the filtered clicks and Maschine is doing the drums. The Minibrute is being ran through a phaser, analog delay, analog chorus, then finally through the A4. The A4 is only affecting the gating (VCA trig) of the passed thru audio."
