Richard Devine & Nona Hendryx - Modular Performance at Berklee Performance Center Boston Tonight!

via Berklee.edu:

"Crossing Wires: An Evening with Richard Devine and Special Guest Nona Hendryx

Thursday / April 10, 2014 / 8:15 p.m.
Berklee Performance Center
136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA, 02115 (view map)

Richard Devine is at the forefront of sound synthesis and electronic music. His ability to combine the world of analog synthesizers with the latest digital sound design techniques has made him a unique voice in the world of electronic music. This concert will feature Devine, students from the Electronic Production and Design Department, and the Berklee Interdisciplinary Arts Institute.

From her beginnings in the '60s doo-wop scene to her revolutionary, solo ventures in the art-rock and new wave genres in the '80s, Nona Hendryx could be called music's 'Queen of Transformation.' Hendryx found her start in the group Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles, whose fresh and tight harmonies had earned them a reputation as the 'Sweethearts of the Apollo,' and an induction into the R&B Hall of Fame in 1999. After signing to Atlantic Records, the group lost a member, but the remaining members reinvented themselves as what would become the iconic funk-rock group Labelle. In the '70s, Hendryx's empowering and socially conscious songwriting abilities helped Labelle earn three gold albums and a No. 1 platinum hit with the single 'Lady Marmalade.'"

"Selling a YAMAHA CS-50 vintage analog synthesiser with unique MIDI interface and special added tuning card all in full working condition !

The YAMAHA CS-50 is 4 voices of the legendary YAMAHA CS-80, said to be the ultimate vintage analog polysynth by many specialists.

This one comes with its 4 original metal legs and lid (lid has additional metal reinforcements as shown on 1st picture). The power supply has been fully recapped before the sale and the sound cards recalibrated. In addition to these, it is equipped with a tuning card* and a MIDI kit that has :
- all of the main features of the Kenton kit
- control of brilliance (cutoff) of HPF via CC or velocity or aftertouch (impossible with the Kenton kit. The Kenton kit only allows control of LPF !)
- control of LFO depth to VCO and VCF via CC or aftertouch.
- etc...
Full MIDI kit instructions are included
Kenton kit + installation sell for £612, here you have an even more developped MIDI kit which should then could be valued at at least £650. Meaning the CS-50 alone has a value of £1450 ! A true bargain...

*The tuning card installed allows you to tune the instrument yourself instead of going to or calling a technician to do it (like a guitarist tunes his instrument before playing...)."

The BMF's Rare 1966 Moog Modular, Then and Now

via The Bob Moog Foundation on Facebook:

"BMF #TBT: The BMF's rare 1966 Moog modular, then and now.

Kimball Sugg, a student at UNC Greensboro when the college purchased this rare early modular in 1966, called this beauty his "first love." It's just one of the many instruments of historical and technical value that we steward, maintain, and share with the world.

ADDAC703 DiscreteMixer - Part2 from ADDAC System on Vimeo.

"Here's the second module of our 700's Heritage Series.
Inspired by Moog CP3 mixer, this is a totally discrete analog mixer and it's not, by any means, your standard breakfast mixer, although it can behave like one.

This is a wolf in sheep clothes, behind it's harmless looks there's a dark snarly soul behind that panel that wants to take your sounds into a realm of gritty gnarly growls.

Features:
.4 Independent channels with input jack and volume knob
.1 Feedback/gate knob
.Master output volume knob
.6 Front panel trimmers allows user to adjust the Input resistor trimmer for each channel, feedback and master output
.1 Front panel trimmer allows to adjust the mix Bias
