via this auction

Update: "Fantastic and nearly perfect ARP 2600... perfectly playable, has NOT been upgraded or modded. Calibrated and adjusted by Ed Miller, LA - Area synth tech on 5/22/14. Newly tightened and cleaned keyboard connector, unit is completely STOCK and near perfect condition. UNPOTTED submodules means that this synth can be worked on easily, but at this point in time is PERFECT and needs NOTHING electronically, keyboard tracks perfectly. THIS IS A MONSTER SYNTH AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC.

It is a 2601 model, so one of the last made, therefore in much better condition than earlier models - All sliders and controls function smoothly, no corrosion on any component, including the interior electronics. Purchased from a professional recording studio, not a "touring" machine. Silk-screening is pristine, The machine looks brand-new. Less than usual wear on Tolex, for a synth nearing 30 years of age and a thoughtfully smoothed over corner of the keyboard case shows some wood. Keyboard could benefit from rebushing, but ALL KEYS TRACK PERFECTLY and the machine is guaranteed to be playable as a musical instrument upon arrival. One slightly discolored key, Mr. Miller tells me this is because of differences in plastic dyes used during manufacture.

Complex and infinitely adjustable machine, but a novice can get it running within ten minutes without any manual at all. Just work from left to right and follow the silkscreened flow chart. Much simpler (and also much more complex) than it appears.

6 patch cords included, no manuals, but these are easily downloadable or obtained from other ebayers. Also including two 1/8" to 1/4" patch cords for audio output to your amp, otherwise playable through the "reference" internal speakers."

Theremini | Dorit Chrysler


Published on May 28, 2014 Moog Music Inc ·266 videos

"Dorit Chrysler, co-founder of the New York Theremin Society, uses her looping pedal to explore the sonic possibilities of the Theremini, Moog's latest addition to the theremin family.

The Theremini is a re-imagination of one of the oldest electronic musical instruments in history, and Bob Moog's first love -- the Theremin. Its design fuses the experience of performing with an instrument you don't actually touch, with a powerful sound engine derived from Moog's award winning synthesizer, Animoog. The Theremini guarantees immediate success to any player at any skill level, while providing new ways to experiment with music, education, and gestural control.

Assistive pitch quantization allows each player to adjust the instrument's level of playing difficulty. At the maximum position, the Theremini will play every note in a selected scale perfectly, making it impossible to play a wrong note. As this control is decreased, more expressive control of pitch and vibrato becomes possible. When set to minimum, the Theremini will perform as a traditional Theremin - the analog heterodyning oscillator controls pitch and there is absolutely no assistance.

"The Neogene /ˈniːɵdʒiːn/ is a geologic period and system in the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) Geologic Timescale starting 23.03 ± 0.05 million years ago and ending 2.588 million years ago. The second period in the Cenozoic Era, it follows the Paleogene Period and is succeeded by the Quaternary Period. The Neogene is subdivided into two epochs, the earlier Miocene and the later Pliocene

New Intellijel Springray - Full Featured Spring Reverb Module

via Intellijel

"There are many excellent digital reverbs available these days but there is still nothing quite like the timeless and magical character of a true spring reverb.

At Intellijel we have a huge love for true analog devices and it has always been important for us to explore as many of these fundamental analog building blocks of synthesis as possible.

In the development of this module we were blown away by how much there is to explore. Each tank has a totally different set of chanacteristics and there were many unexpected surprises when feeding it a wide variety of sound sources. One of the most interesting results was how a slow attack saw waveform from a Dixie almost sounds like a realistic cello!

Features:

PRE tank and POST tank Ambler Tilt EQ
VC Feedback
Limiter in feedback path so you can prevent high gain feedback from clipping the output. (Uses THATcorp RMS and VCA ICs)
Selector switch to choose up to three different connected tanks (one on the front and two on the back)
VC Mix of the wet/dry balance (uses a full linear VCA xfade circuit)
Drive input with large gain (can overdrive the tank inputs)
External processors can be inserted into the feedback path via the SEND/RETURN normalled inputs. Extremely interesting results when patched through modulated BP filters etc.
Three different sizes of Accutronic tanks are available"

Elektron Analog Four Goa Step


Published on Dec 10, 2012 Daniel Troberg·60 videos

"Elektron Analog Four can make very different kinds of music. In this example, the extremely popular goa step genre is exposed. All audio is mixed in the AF and all effects are AF effects. The bassdrum, snaredrum, and all the lead lines are AF. The wobble, hihats and percussive elements are from the modular. The AF sends pitches and gates as well as clocking two analog sequencers. No midi was used in the recording of this video.

Elektron Analog Four Feedback Modulation Drone, Polyrhythm & Oscillator Sync


Published on Dec 9, 2012 Daniel Troberg·60 videos

"Elektron Analog Four can generate sounds without using traditional oscillators or note sequencing. In this example, all the sounds are created only by feedback paths and resonating filters together with intricate lfo modulations. The amplifier section is triggered by a note-on and that is why the sequencer is running. Note, at 19:33 the sequencer is being stopped and the release phase of the amplifier envelope was still active while uploading this video.

Limited Edition Pittsburgh Modules Starting with the Dual Ring


via Pittsburgh Modular

"We are starting a line of limited edition modules as a way to share some of our more esoteric designs with the world. The modules will range from chaotic and noisy, to simple, to over the top. Each production run will be limited to 50 modules, and each module will be hand signed and numbered on the rear of the panel. All limited edition modules will be available for sale exclusively on shop.pittsburghmodular.com, and once they are gone, they are gone.

We are pleased to announce the Dual Ring, our first limited edition module. The Dual Ring houses a pair of ring modulators with linked inputs and an output mixer, creating unique sonic and signal routing possibilities. The Dual Ring was a request of our good friend Dave Skipper. We were a little skeptical at first but the results prove this was an inspired idea."




[The Dual Ring houses a pair of ring modulators with linked inputs and an output mixer creating unique sonic and signal routing possibilities. Each ring modulator offers 3 types of effects based around the classic ring modulation circuit.

A ring modulator multiplies two audio inputs together resulting in a unique form of amplitude modulation or frequency mixing. The output is the sum and difference of the frequencies present in each waveform. Ring modulation produces a signal rich in harmonic and non-harmonic tones often sounding metallic or bell-like.

The individual ring modulation circuits in the Dual Ring can be used independently, mixed, or chained together resulting in a large palate of uniquely rich and complex tones.

Effect 1: Ring Modulator - (Switch Full Left) Outputs the sum and difference of the X and Y inputs.

Effect 2: Floating Z Modulator - (Switch in Center Position) Outputs the sum and difference of the X and Y inputs summed with the ambient voltage within the circuit.

Effect 3: Linear Amplitude Modulator - (Switch Full Right) Outputs the sum and difference of the X and Y inputs summed with the carrier (Y) signal."

via Pittsburgh Modular on what it's like to be a boutique modular manufacturer and why they decided to come out with the limited edition modules:

"Three years ago Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers started as a crazy idea to sell a few strange, handmade modules out of a basement. Thanks to your enormous response to those modules we've grown meteorically.

Shipping modules and instruments in large numbers takes a tremendous amount of time and resources. Resources that we can not commit to every idea we have. While we have been working hard to expand and improve our manufacturing capabilities, at heart Pittsburgh Modular is still a small company that remains committed to producing high quality, hand made electronic instruments. Over the past few years, we have chosen to focus our energy on modules that make up the core of our amazing synthesizers. Because of this, we have a lot of concepts and a lot of modules that were designed but never sold. Most of our ideas are too strange to fit in with what Pittsburgh Modular has become and it would be impossible for us to maintain a product line that included all of our designs. Still, we want the modules for our systems so here is the idea..."
