AN EXPLORATION OF THE BUCHLA 100 ELECTRONIC MODULAR SYNTHESISER

All Tracks created at Meme Tune Studios, London, UK utilising the Buchla 100 modular synthesiser. No additional processors were used in this recording. It should be noted that the Buchla 100 features its own sequencer module and this was used to produce the repeating rhythms in the music on this record and also the melodic and harmonic content. On the first track the voltage controlled touch plates (model 112) were used to produce some of the more performance-orientated sounds on the record. On most tracks the patches were set up and left to run by themselves, with minor human intervention other than adjusting the various potentiometers. The Buchla 100 system is very adept at producing self-perpetuating sounds and it is this aspect of it that is explored here

Korg Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Keyboards in Limited Edition Colors

"MELVILLE, NY, September 5, 2013 - Korg continues its 50th anniversary celebration by offering a run of keyboards in limited edition colors: the MicroKorg and the 61-key Krome Music Workstation.

The popular MicroKorg synth/vocoder, which celebrated its 10th birthday in 2012, is available in a limited-edition Gold finish [see this post] with the original wood side panels. Quantity is limited to 2000 units world-wide, starting in December 2013. First launched in 2002, MicroKorg made the synthesizer available to everyone by combining mini-keys, battery power, a simple-to-use interface, and phenomenal sound, all at an attractive price. Today, it's still a popular choice not only for keyboardists, but also for bass players, singers, guitarists, producers and DJs looking to add its vintage sounds to their instrument arsenal.

The Krome Music Workstation is now also available in eye-catching, limited-edition colors. While supplies last, the 61-key version is available in red, blue, and gold color choices. Like the mainline Krome models, these limited editions offer a carefully chosen selection of piano and drum sounds derived from the flagship Kronos, as well as new electric pianos for high quality sounds at users' fingertips. Also included is a plethora of other sounds and powerful production tools such as a piano-roll style sequencer, complemented by a widescreen color TouchView display, for an intuitive and organic experience.

The Limited Edition MicroKorg can be found at Guitar Center locations in the U.S. in December 2013, for a U.S. Street price of $399.99. Limited edition Krome models in red and blue can be found in December at select, authorized Korg USA dealers - and gold models at U.S. Guitar Center locations - for $999.99"

SoftPot Homemade MIDI Guitar

Published on Aug 7, 2013 girtnessshroom·1 video

"Sorry for low sound quality, low video quality, my chronic mumbling, and generally low production values.

This is a video about a prototype of a sort of MIDI guitar I made. For want of a better name I'm calling it a "SoftPot" guitar because the main component that distinguishes it from a normal MIDI are the long touch sensitive strips called SoftPots. They are like normal potentiometers that you find under most controller knobs, but in strip form.

I appreciate that there are several similar instruments (MIDI guitars) that you can just buy off the shelf, but I never found one that was fretless, and I think this homemade version turned out a good deal cheaper. Plus, making stuff is fun.

Post any questions you have in the comments and I'll try my best to answer them all.
