Symphony for 100 Stylophones, by Paul Fraser
Symphony for 100 Stylophones, by Paul Fraser from machine project on Vimeo.
"Paul Fraser and L.A. Stylophonic- L.A.’s premier stylophone ensemble, plan to gather a group of 100 stylophone players at the Compton Civic Center Plaza for an interactive concert that will use sound to highlight the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial sculpture and the surrounding plaza’s period Modern architecture. All ages are welcome and no musical experience is necessary. Those who are interested should meet at the Compton Civic Center Plaza at 1pm and then participants will be directed with numbers, symbols, and shapes to teach them about the instrument in small groups. The event culminates with a final performance in which all 100 participants will come together to play the final, experimental composition, filling the plaza with sound.
About the stylophone: The Stylophone is an easy to play, battery powered miniature synthesizer. Though the individual low-fi instruments sound simple, when they are layered together, the effect becomes amplified and immersive.
This event is part of Machine Project’s Field Guide to L.A. Architecture.
Video Producer, Emily Lacy
Project Producer, Bennett Williamson
Shot by Emily Lacy and Cascade Wilhelm
Sound recorded by Chris Candelaria
Editors, Tom Cabela and Jarrett Silberman

ELKA Synthex Polyphonic Synthesizer

via this auction
"Up for sale is the mighty Elka Synthex polyphonic analog synthesizer. This is a gigantic eight-voice synth from the early eighties with a great user interface design, an unbelievable sound and lots of possibilities. With it’s heavy-weight keyboard (better than a e.g. Jupiter 8, OB-X) it’s a real joy to play. Aside from that it’s built like a tank.
Like other big polyphonic synthesizers it has standard features like 2 DCO’s, 2 LFO’s, 3 mode chorus, etc. But there are also some very unique specials on board:
✰ A multimode filter (HP, LP, BP 1&2)
✰ LFO routing to VCF, VCA, PW 1&2, OSC A&B, OSC B ring mod & sync
✰ Super versatile Joystick (can be combined with DCO, VCF, LFO2, etc.)
✰ Mono/Stereo mode (panned-detuning)
✰ An internal Sequencer (transpondable, note-length, step & realtime)
✰ 40 factory presets, 40 re-writetable patches
✰ Glide / Portamento can be set independet on e.g. just OSC B
✰ A splitable keyboard and many other cool things!
About 1600 were built by Elka and this one was probably
built in 1983.
The Synthex is in superb shape, very clean in & outside and has factory Midi installed.
Only the wooden side panels are new high quality custom made.
They are made with walnut and look much better than the original side panels.
The unit is fully checked and serviced."

Apologies to those with dyslexia. This appears to be the first FCUK post.
"Frequency The Frequency CV input accepts 0-5V control voltages, quantized to semitones, to cover the MIDI note range 0-63. It is possible to limit the CV input with the CV attenuator. The basic frequency range of the VCDO is ten octaves from MIDI Note 0 to MIDI Note 120 (8.18Hz to 8372Hz), and can be selected by the manual Frequency knob.
Detune The Detune CV input is not quantised, and allows for -5V to +5V CV to modulate +/-8 semitones. The manual Detune knob allows adjustments to be made +/-100 cents.
Waveform The VCDO section has 16 waveforms which you’re unlikely to have seen before, arranged as a wavetable. The VCDO is able to crossfade from one to the next, creating a wavetable which you can scan through under voltage control, -5V to +5V. It would have been easy to include standard waveforms like ramps and triangles, but there are many oscillators that produce those. This oscillator has its own character and provides something different.
Sub Wave As well as the main oscillator, there is also a sub oscillator with 8 waveforms. Each waveform can be selected at one of four octaves, either +1 octave (above the main osc pitch!), in unison, -1 octave, or -2 octaves. Additionally, the Sub Wave can be selected externally by CV, -5V to +5V.
Glide Waverider also includes a glide/portamento effect, glide times range from 12ms/octave to 2.4secs/octave. Turning the Glide knob to minimum switches the glide effect off. Additionally, Glide can be externally controlled by any gate source, 0V = Glide off, 5V = Glide on.
Crush The Crush knob controls the sample bit resolution of the output (ie bitcrushing). This can be reduced from 8-bit down to 1-bit in eight steps.
VCDO and Sub Osc Outputs 8-bit, 62.5KHz sample output rate. The internal waveforms and calculations are 8-bit, and new samples are output via the on-chip PWM modules at 62.5KHz. The PWM modules’ outputs are at 125KHz."
