"One of three highly modified AKS used by Britain's first all synthesizer band Zorch since 1972. This one is probably the most modified and widely gigged Synthi A and is still in regular use with the original owner."

Doepfer A-180-3 Dual Buffered Multiple Announced

via PatchPierre.Net

"Following the many requests in the Doepfer Yahoo-group, Doepfer announced today that an A-180-3 Dual Buffered Multiple will soon be released.

Module A-180-3 is a dual buffered 1-in-3 multiple.
The signal applied to the input socker appears as a buffered signal at the three output sockets.
Each output has it's own buffer, i.e. the three output sockets are not simply connected to each other. The lower output of the upper unit is normalled to the input of the lower unit.
That way the module works as a single 1-in-6 buffered multiple provided that no signal is applied to the input of the lower unit.

Application: copying/buffering of control and audio signals.

Update by Dieter: "the prototype pcb of the dual buffered multiple (A-180-3) arrived and has been tested. As expected no problems occured. The
module will be released about September 2015. The price will be the same as the A-138u because it very similar (i.e. Euro 50)"

Patch Touch: for Oberheim Matrix - Matrix-6/6r/1000 iPad Editor

iTunes: Patch Touch: for Oberheim Matrix - Coffeeshopped LLC

Note you need at least OS 2.13 on the Matrix-6 keyboard for this to work. MIDI sysex support on the Matrix-6 was added in version 2.13.

"Patch Touch: for Oberheim Matrix is a patch editor for the Oberheim Matrix-1000, Matrix-6, and Matrix-6r synthesizers. If you have one of these synths then this is the editor for you! Patch Touch gives you touch-based control over all of the voice parameters on your Matrix. Just make a change on the screen, and the change is instantly sent to your synthesizer.

Patch Touch has been designed to give you access to as much as possible all on a single screen, making it easier to change and understand the structure of your patch.

Here are some more features:

* Copy/Paste envelopes
* Create random patches
* Copy the current patch from your synth to your iOS device, for further editing
* Save your patch from Patch Touch to the memory on your synth!
* Play the synth using the app's built-in mini-keyboard (with aftertouch support)

Use this app either with a MIDI adapter for your iOS device, or via a wireless MIDI connection to your Mac or PC, with your Matrix synthesizer connected to your Mac or PC via MIDI.

Requirements

* An Oberheim Matrix-1000/6/6r synthesizer
* A MIDI adapter for your iOS device, OR a Mac or PC connected to your Matrix via MIDI and a wi-fi connection between your Mac or PC and your iOS device.

NOTE: This app does NOT make any sound! It's just an editor for your Matrix. If you don't have a Matrix synthesizer, this app won't do anything useful for you.

This app is not affiliated or endorsed by Oberheim. It's just an app I made to fill a need!"

Wayne Joness - ANATEK Wind Machine Demo - Very RARE MIDI Breath Controller

Published on Jun 23, 2015 WayneJoness

"Video demonstration of the very rare Anatek Wind Machine. This cool box converts the control voltages from a Yamaha BC1 or BC2 directly into MIDI. Otherwise, you need a compatible Yamaha product, such as a Breath Controller input keyboard, or the VL1m to use the Breath Controller. For this demo, I used the Synful Orchestra virtual plug-in in Digital Performer. Synful has direct support for MIDI controller 2, Breath Controller. The Beethoven music played at the beginning was made with Synful, but I did not create this version, I do not know who did the introductory music."
