The Technos Acxel Resynthesizer Overview Videos

"This is the full length video demonstration for the Technos Acxel re-synthesizer from around 1988. There are two parts to this video"

Technos Acxel part 2


This one is in via Kevin Kelley who let me know he will be uploading some user demos in the future as well. Can't wait! The Acxell Resynthesizer has only been featured on the site a handful of times. It is a rare synthesizer sold between 1987 and 1990 according to Wikipedia. Their is a new Axcel2. You can find information on the main Axcel2 website here.

On the original Axcel via Wikipedia:
"The word Acxel is short for 'acoustical element' (as pixel is short for "picture element".)
The Acxel consists on 2 components: The "Grapher" (graphic console) and the "Solitary" (Rackmount containing the Synthesis and Analysis hardware). Standard - 256 Oscillators (8 voices), up to 1024 Oscillators (32 voices).
Instead of having an LCD or CRT screen, the Axcel has a bank of 2114 LEDs mounted behind finger-sized conductive sensors (a smaller number were also used on the Technos 16\pi synthesizer main panel). All data readouts, and a lot of data input, are processed using this innovative method.
The 16\pi is the Acxel ancestor (1984 - never in production, 4 unit delivered at that time), introducing the concept but limited to 64 Oscillators, including a keyboard.

The Acxel never found mainstream favour and was never a commercial success, due to its high cost, and relative difficulty of use. As a result of this, Acxels today are very rare (about 35 were sold from 1987 to 1990), obscure and expensive, and they never did replace traditional sampler as was their intention. Their legacy, however, lives on in modern-day resynthesizers such as VirSyn's Cube, Camel Audio's Cameleon 5000, and Image-Line's Harmor."

via this auction

"Incredible condition, you would think this came out the factory this year! No mods, all original, perfect for a collector. Everything works perfectly and has a wonderful tonal quality to it, especially with the early MK1 12dB filter. UK power model, serial number 282572 as can be seen in the photos. I'll supply a Kenton CV kit (CV, Gate, Trig, Filter controls) along with it if you choose to modify it although if you want to preserve the value you may not want to."

Eurorack Sampler Live Beat

Eurorack Sampler Live Beat from Kevin Park on Vimeo.

"A quick test to see if I can play a beat live and sync up the recorded audio. Since the setup video I replaced the Brains with a Moddemix so everything has to be played live.

Future video series will show the beatmaking process with in depth patch explanations and better performances.

Here's a description of the Pressure Points touchplate functions from left to right:

1st four touchplates are drum chops
2nd four are global parameter changes for the Phonogenes, (for example switching things like "organize" for verse and chorus)
last 8 are sample chops

Feedback welcome!"
