"All suonds from the LEM BIT 99 (the same of Crumar BIT 99), just the percussion sounds come from protools software. This can give you an idea of this fantastic 80s Italian synth. "Fantasmagorie" by Émile Cohl widely considered to be the first fully animated film ever made. Music played via MIDI with a Crumar BIT 99, an 80s Italian analogue synth."

According to the listing the video above was made using this synth.  Wish the pics were a little bit bigger.  I don't recall seeing the gold Programmable Voices list on the Bit 99 before.


Koma Elektronik BD101 Analog Delay and Gate Pedal

"Koma Elektronik BD101 Analogue Delay with 'Hard Gate'.

This pedal offers users more tweakable on the fly options than nearly any delay pedal I have seen/used. Too much to list or copy and paste so here is the 'tagline' from Koma and a link to their website:

'Mangle and cut apart your sound with an innovative voltage controlled analog delay circuit in combination with a fully adjustable wide frequency range gate!'

http://koma-elektronik.com/?product=bd101-analog-gate-delay

A few things I will say, this pedal incorporates its own CV output by way of the three infra reds in the bottom right corner of the pedal. These act as emitters and receivers judging distance/depth. This can then be used to control any parameter of the pedal via the onboard patchbay or another pedal (I've used it to control INFANEM gear, analog delays and Eventide gear to name but a few).

This pedal is really quite special and amazing fun with a synth/iPad or guitar pedals. Lots of functionality and great sounds.

Comes with original Koma PSU. Free Postage for Buy it Now!"

Moog Source Analog Synthesizer SN 2116 Project Machine Minus Panel Membrane

Kind of interesting to see what's under the panel membrane. What's curious is the seller states he drilled the two holes you see.  That leaves the question of how the original membrane connects to the synth engine.  Details via the listing:

"I bought this Source a while ago. It came to me with various parts of the membrane panel not working. All of the analog components work, and I was able to mess around a bit shaping sounds. However, to gain full access to all the parameters, the membrane needed to be replaced.

Instead, I decided to build a whole new switch panel using normal push button switches. However, I’ve come to realize a project like this is more than I have time for. As it sits, it literally just needs a new membrane panel installed. The only modification I did was drill the two holes you see on top of the chassis. This was to be for the wiring harness of the new switch panel. If a new membrane panel gets installed, these holes will not interfere with any membrane switch function.

The only other detail is that the three wooden pieces that surround the keybed need to be reglued in place. They are fully intact, but the original glue had just crumbled when I took apart the board.

For those not in the know - the Source is the closest sounding thing to the original Minimoog! I was pleasantly surprised, when I first messed around with it, at just how accurate that statement really is. It doesn’t have a third oscillator like the Model D, but it does have a dedicated LFO, sequencer, arpeggiator and sample + hold functions!

Obviously, this board is sold as is, AS A PROJECT. I won’t accept and returns or give refunds. Please understand what you’re getting into making this purchase!"

An Interview with Mutable Instruments Olivier Gillet

via Art Music & Technology

"I mention it during the intro, during the interview and during the outro - I'm a fanboy of the work of Olivier Gillet. As the designer/developer behind Palm App "Bhajis Loops" and "Microbe" (as Chocopoolp) and the Mutable Instruments modules (with Braids as one of my alltime favorite modules), Olivier is on the front lines of music technology creativity. If you haven't yet heard of his work, I'm glad to be introducing you to him.

In this interview, we talk about Chocopoolp's creation, how this morphed into Mutable instruments, and how a DSP-trained student became a leader in the mostly-analog world of modular synthesizers. We also learn a little about how he works, and where he is taking Mutable for the future. The conversation flys around a bit, but Olivier keeps me on track...

Enjoy!"

The podcast was downloadable so I popped it up on SoundCloud to embed and have in the archives. The interview is by Art Music & Technology.
