Erica Synths 8channel Sequential Switch Techno jam

Published on Aug 14, 2014 EricaSynths

"Demo by Erica Synths teamrider $KODEK. Erica Synths 8 channel SEQUENTIAL SWITCH, allows you to sequence up to eight sound sources in advanced ways or route one sound source sequentially to eight different sound modifiers – VCFs, waveshapers, VCAs, etc. It has unique control interface that allows you to pause, skip and merge steps, set sequence length, but what really sets it apart from other sequential switches is Gate output – when used with ADSR and VCA, you get really powerful sequencer with real time control over each sound source in the sequence. Use Sequential Switch with random clock source and you get a heart of insane random, self-generating patches!

"Soquelle's first single "Tense" blending smooth vocals with crunchy Sp1200 beats, Prophet VS & SH101

Listen to Soquelle's first single 'Tense', melding low-end club, mid-end smooth & hi-end glitch

The Story
The inspiration for this track is to stop and examine the state of being "tense". To step back for a second from all the pressures around you, the crushing industrial landscapes that may swallow us all, & find that moment of tranquil light lying idle on the other side.

The Technical Aspects
It took us two months in our home studio to craft a unique sound that could capitulate these visions, using old '80s analog equipment, a couple EMU SP-1200's, Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, Roland SH101, a soprano saxophone & unknown DIY methods that we'll never be able to repeat again.

Groove Electronics MINI-CV MIDI to CV Converter

via this auction

"Here's a quite obscure and rare British-made MIDI to CV converter - I have had this working and it seemed to track over a small range but I didn't spend much time experimenting with the scale/tuning trims. Due to the condition (it's metal construction but the body is quite worn and a few bits are a little warped) and having not explored it hugely, it's got to be sold as seen.

Features:
MIDI IN Port
MIDI Thru Port
MIDI Channel Select Trimmer
3.5mm "GND Trig" Output
3.5mm "+VE Trig" Output
3.5mm Control Voltage Output
Tune Trimmer
Scale Trimmer
Doesn't include PSU - it requires 12V DC Negative Tip, Positive Ring"

Sequential Prophet 5 rev2

via this auction

"There are 3 distinct Prophet 5's, the rev 1, rev 2 and rev 3. To be honest I have never seen (or even met someone who has seen) a rev 1....so if you want a Prophet the choice is pretty much between the rev2 and rev3. The major difference between the rev2 and the rev3 is that the rev2 uses SSM chips and a lot more discrete components and the rev3 uses Curtis chips. The rev2 is the the better sounding of the two with a more organic sound, though back in the day the rev3 was much more reliable....so bands tended to use rev2's for recording and rev3's for touring.

The rev2 reliability issues were primarily down to tuning, this was down to a transformer that got very hot (have a look at the size of the heatsink!)...i.e. thermal drift and the fact that the voltage control DACs for the oscillators were made with discrete resistors. Nothing actually wrong with building DACs with discrete resistors except that you need to use very precise and matched resistors....which weren't readily available in the 80's. These days ridiculously precise "ppm" (part per million) resistors are available for not too scary money. So the internals circuitry has been changed to incorporate the better resistors (and a few other more modern components) and a modern over-rated toroidal transformer to ensure that the tuning and reliability is as good, probably better than any rev3.

The rev2 is very rare, with only 200 having ever been made and is an incredibly beautiful sounding machine. This version is in very good condition, apart from a dint or two on the woodwork and pretty bad silk screening on the mod panel. I am at the moment considering building a totally new hardwood cabinet, re-screening the mod panel and fitting Kenton MIDI...this will however add well over £1000 to the price so I thought I'd put it up for sale as is....as I'm a bit buzy at the moment and someone could grab a bargain.
