Buchla 200 - Video #1 & Synthe-modulaire Compilation 2015

Published on May 28, 2015 Hathor Menat

And via Hathor Menat: "Also I created a french modular forum 5 years ago which is called: synthe-modulaire.com. Each year we make a modular music compilation based upon a theme which comes from a consensus of all the interested participants. Last year opus was promoted through VSE but i thought you might be interested in relaying it through your blog as well.

Volca Beats: Snare Fix mod + MIDI Out mod by Shivatek

more pics

"En este album se ven las modificaciones que le realicé a un Korg Volca Beats, en primer lugar se realizó el Snare Fix que consiste en agregar el famoso "Missing c78 capacitor" lo cual le quita ese espantoso sonido a distorsion que trae de fabrica y lo remplaza por un dulce y calido snare analogico como corresponde :) y en segundo lugar se perforó el gabinete plastico y se le agregó un conector hembra para utilizar el MIDI Out. De esa manera se puede manejar otras cajas de ritmos (Obviamente en channel 10 MIDI). Gracias Ivan Herman, Saludos!"

Googlish:

"In this album the changes you made to a Korg Volca Beats, first the Snare Fix comprising adding the famous "Missing C78 capacitor" which takes away that awful sound distortion that brings factory was made and what are replaced by a sweet and warm analog snare accordingly :) and secondly the plastic cabinet was drilled and added a female to use the MIDI Out connector. That way you can manage other drum machines (Obviously MIDI channel 10). Thanks Ivan Herman, Greetings!"

KORG MONOTRON PLAYED BY MIDI KEYBOARD AND CONTROLLER CC

Published on May 29, 2015 BOB ''T'' --------------

"Here's a old video i decided to upload at the demand of one subscriber. It's my mod Korg Monotron played from a midi keyboard (Yamaha SY 77) and a midi controller CC (Xstation). Using Reaper and Expert Sleepers Silent way. The problem with the basic mod is that the voltage going to vcf affect the pitch so it's difficult to obtain a normal monosynth from that project. Now that Korg got the Volca serie on the market i don't need it anymore. I burned my Volca Bass trying to save on a power adapter. But i'll buy another one soon because i loved it. I should have done it without fx but it's too late (it's a Lexicon Reverb hardware). Thank for watching."

Prophet 5 Rev 1 Demo Video

Published on May 29, 2015

Little bit os synth trivia: that first patch from The Cars "Let's Go" was created by none other than John Bowen of John Bowen Synth design.

"This is the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev 1, Serial #122. It belonged to Greg Hawkes of The Cars, and was famously used on the Cars song "Let's Go!" as well as numerous other Cars songs and albums.

This synthesizer's electronics were expertly restored by Greg Montalbano of http://analogsynthservice.com. He is one of the few techs in the world with the knowledge to repair a Rev 1 Prophet 5. This particular Prophet had serious issues with its power supply, including numerous blown capacitors. Greg M. rebuilt the power supply, repaired a bad IC, and thoroughly calibrated and tuned the instrument. I oiled the wood, cleaned the keyboard, repaired a faulty keyboard contact, and carefully repaired a crack in the wood. Given her age, and the fact that she played countless stage shows and studio sessions, she's in wonderful shape and sounds fantastic."

via this auction

Note this one needs some work: "As I tested the unit in Test Mode after warming it up for few hours, there was slight constant noise and I noticed voice chips number 3 and 4 are not working properly. I also noticed the Square wave was not producing any sound, and also some kind of effect that seems like Portamento is constantly on and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off since the bender board panel has been removed.

So I'm selling this AS IS to be used with some servicing done. Besides the issues mentioned above, everything appears to be working fine to the best of my knowledge, all other buttons and sliders responding correctly as well as Saving Memory works fine."

"The RS3 is fed with a simple 5U modular sequence; various LFO rate and deph settings.
The MAM (Musik and More, Bavaria, Germany) RS3 Resonator is a clone of the resonator section of the Korg PS 3100 and PS 3300 synthesizers, originally redesigned in the 1990s by Jürgen Haible. An absolutely must have for those lush old-school electronica effects..."
