"A time-lapse of a DIY synthesizer. Shot using an iPhone with a time lapse app capturing 1 frame every 5 seconds at 800x600 resolution. 46000 frames total give or take a few frames here and there. The time-lapse covers every aspect of the build from start to finish, what it does not show you are the countless hours of reading, researching, tuning and yes even a little bit of trouble shooting.

The synth is comprised of mainly MFOS (Music From Outer Space) DIY kits. The Sound Lab Ultimate, 16 step sequencer, and cv/gate buffer are among some of the many great kits available from them. MFOS is a great resource for the beginner as well as avid DIY enthusiast. A custom layout was created to incorporate all these modules as well as some other custom bits onto one panel. By creating my own layout I was also able to incorporate a neat graphic EQ style led bar display that reacts to the sounds created by the synth. The upper right of the synth is were the control patching takes place, the bottom half is for making the sounds, and the top left is the 16 step sequencer.

The audio for the video was cut from a series of live on the fly Robotlegs style jams. Nothing rehearsed all off the top off your head stuff here folks, trim the fat and leave the tasty bits. Comprised of four computers running Ableton live synced via midi with all audio channel eventually ending up routed to the master clock computer for recording, Most of the synth style sounds were created using the synth in this video as well as two synths similar to the one in this video( MFOS Ultimate, Sound Lab Mini Synth Plus) Additional sounds come from a, Korg Monotribe, Monotron, A Nord Clav style keyboard, as well as various other digital and analog wizardry."

Microspheres - Philhelmon 2009 (new mix)

Published on May 22, 2013 Philhelmon·37 videos

"'Microspheres' is an outtake from the 2012 album, 'Enjoy it while it lasts'. But somehow I still like the song and want to share it on my YouTube channel. It's inspired by all those great synthesizer performances of the past but also the pioneering work by all those legendary people at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Philhelmon received raving press and radio reviews/interviews worldwide. The CD was mastered in New York City and involved some excellent singing and playing by a wonderful cast of national and international musicians.
If I were you I would get my hands on one of the last copy's of this beautiful physical Deluxe 3 gatefold card case CD. This Limited Edition with a 26 page artwork booklet is almost sold out! Only a few copies left now!

Thank you for watching and as always feel free to subscribe on YouTube or Henk Bol/Philhelmon on Facebook.

Hope you enjoy.

Best regards,

Analogue Preservation - An Unpublished Synth Book Featuring Hi-Res Pics

via Tim Mantle on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"About 7 years ago for a Final university project I created a book called Analogue Preservation. I shot a lot of synths using a Hasselblad HD back. Here is a small selection of images from that book...there are many more of these. One of these images shows a section of the Arp 2600 to give you an idea of the clarity I got from the camera I was using. I wanted to record these synths in extreme detail so you could go to the book and know exactly what each synth could do, bye eye rather than reading a spec. There is only one book but I still have all the high rez pictures (facebook obviously compresses these to nasty jpg). Graduated with a first in Photographic Arts"
