Flight of Harmony Sound of Shadows Delay Module

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Sound of Shadows (SoS) is a voltage-controlled (VC) digital delay module based around the PT2399 echo IC1 from Princeton Technology – which was, by the way, originally designed for Karaoke equipment.

The SoS is essentially two separate modules: a delay and a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA). The focus of the SoS was the delay while the VCA was thrown in because half of an LM13700 IC was unused, so the VCA is very basic.

As with all f(h) products, the SoS was engineered towards maximizing functionality while keeping cost as low as possible. If some aspects of the unit seem awkward, it is most likely due to this. The goal is to make unique, useful, enjoyable, and affordable instruments, not just hoover2 out your bank account.

And remember: every instrument has its quirks and unexpected aspects, so RTFM! All the way through! Specific quirks are mentioned in the description of the particular feature they apply to, so please read this through before emailing!

"Moog MG-1 w/ mods & hard case + Midi to CV converter

This Moog MG-1 synth is fully functioning and in good cosmetic shape (normal signs of wear on an instrument of this age).... Tone Source tuning knob is not original.

This unit has had the following upgrades performed:

• Filter input: send external audio signals through the famous Moog filter
• PWM mod: Tone Source Modulation only effects Tone Source 2 - this allows for pulse width modulation when the tone sources are in sync
• 1/4" audio output on back
• Inside of unit was cleaned / black goo removed

Also included in this auction is a MIDI to CV converter that runs on a 9V battery (included) and velcros to the back of the synth
It includes midi in, 1/4" CV out, 1/4" Gate out, on/off switch, and learn button.
2 patch cables also included
Its set up to work with the MG-1 (on midi channel 5) but will work with many analog monosynths.
Programmable with the Learn button or configure your own settings online at midiimplant(dot)com
Manual included"

Just realized I didn't have a MIDImplant label. I added it with this post and added it to previous posts as well. See the MIDImplant channel below for more. You can find them at http://midimplant.com.

IDOW Extended Interview #10: Trent Reznor & Alessandro Cortini, NIN


IDOW Extended Interview #10: Trent Reznor & Alessandro Cortini, Nine Inch Nails from I Dream Of Wires on Vimeo.

"I DREAM OF WIRES is an independent documentary exploring the history, demise and resurgence of the ultimate electronic music machine, the MODULAR SYNTHESIZER. A special edition, 4-hour extended cut is available to order now on DVD and BluRay from http://idreamofwires.org. The feature-length, theatrical cut is set to premiere spring 2014.

-- IDOW Extended Interview #10: Trent Reznor & Alessandro Cortini, Nine Inch Nails --

In January 2012, the I Dream of Wires team visited the Hollywood studio of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, for a joint interview with fellow NIN member, Alessandro Cortini. Through his continued interest and adoption of cutting-edge electronic instrumentation, Reznor's been witness to the evolution of the synthesizer, from the giant unobtainium of '70s modulars, to the digital "how's the piano sound?" ROMplers of the '80s, right through to the current dominance of computer-based plug-in synthesizers. In our interview, Reznor expresses his enthusiasm for the recent wave of boutique modular synthesizer manufacturers, for having "brought a lot of that magic back into the synth world, that got lost in the Korgs and the Yamahas and the Rolands…." Additionally, Reznor and Cortini offer insight into the influence of an instrument's physical presence, and how for both of them, the process of interacting with hardware plays a crucial role in the resulting sound.

"We are delighted to announce a permanent loan from UNC-Greensboro that includes a variety of synthesizers and other vintage instruments and equipment, including four legendary modulars: a custom built Moog Modular from R.A. Moog, Co., two ARP 2600s, and an Aries 300.

Due to the historical significance of this gift, we asked music technology journalist Geary Yelton to write a guest blog for us exploring some of the very early history behind the instruments.

Read more here about these fascinating synthesizers, and the man who bought or created them for the university in the early days of modular synthesis."

Thom Holmes: Indexing Moog Modulars 1967-1970

"The first rock recordings with a credit for the Moog Modular Synthesizer: The Electric Flag’s soundtrack for The Trip (The Electric Flag with Paul Beaver, September 9,1967; Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. (the Monkees, November 11, 1967)"

via The Bob Moog Foundation where you'll find the full post.

"Historian Thom Holmes provides another excellent installment in his series 'A History of Moog Modular in Recordings'.

This month he's having a bit of fun providing some fascinating insight with facts and figures surrounding the evolution of the Moog Modular's use from 1967-1970.

From The Beatles to Hendrix, from Beaver and Krause to Lamont Young, from Switched-on Bach to The Trip, ​a lot of information you may have never known is revealed in this data-based portrayal."
