Serge Modular Synthesizer #1 Used by Greenpeace to Save Whales



via Doug Lynner on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"Here is an odd, and significant, bit of synth spotting.

In the new book, Once Upon a Greenpeace, which is an insider's memoir of the first Greenpeace expedition to target saving whales, Serge Modular Synthesizer #1 makes a prominent appearance.

Here is the excerpt from the book where it is setup. You can guess what "equipment" is being referred to! This is from the Amazon Look Inside feature and no Serge photo was available there so here is a link to the March/April 1977 article (and picture) about it in Synapse Magazine too.

The book and the synth history are available on Amazon

"Origin is the most powerful synthesizer on the market.
As a matter of fact, it goes beyond the traditional definition of synthesizers. It is a hardware DSP system that houses several synthesizers in one machine. Some of these synths come from the past, such as the Minimoog, some are totally new and innovative.

Loaded with modules extracted from the best synthesizers of all time, Origin lets you combine these modules and take advantage of the additional possibilities put onboard. The result: a new type of sound accessible through an extremely intuitive interface.

"Watch in quality 1080p HD [audio comes in at 4:00]

Considering less than 300 people on the planet have a Waldorf Wave

I'm not auditioning for best performance here, just hitting some keys to make noise to demo the patches since there are very few demos online of entire banks, and almost no videos like this. It is what it is, folks. Enjoy!"
