Kawai K-3 Digital Analog Synthesizer

Note the listing has this as a wavetable synth. It's not in the sense of a Waldorf wavetable synth which allows you to use a modulations source such as an LFO or envelope to scan through them in real time. On the K-3 you simply select a digital wave shape for each oscillator much like on any standard PCM based synth. The filter on the K3, however, is an SSM based analog filter.

Circuit bent Speak & Spell vs Plogue chipspeech


Published on Aug 3, 2015 Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc.

"The next version of chipspeech (free for any current users) will include the official Speak & Spell vocabulary files. For this occasion we've decided to do a comparison between our own 'bent' S&S and chipspeech's emulated TMS5XXX engine.

The output is post-processed with chipcrusher's S&S impulse and a slight bit of verb was added to match the ambiance of our office."

New Make Noise soundhack tELHARMONIC Tutorial Video


Published on Aug 3, 2015 MAKEN0ISE

"The tELHARMONIC is a Multi-Voice, Multi-Algorithm synthesizer module named for the music hall considered by some to be the location of the first electronic music concerts. It was coded by Tom Erbe with the goal of presenting three historically important pioneering electronic tone generation techniques less often implemented within the modular synthesizer.

The tELHARMONIC's roots go back further than the advent of electronic music, as it also takes a new approach to handling music theory in the modular context. TONIC, INTERVAL, DEGREE and D-GATE, allow for patch-programming of complex chord progressions, scales, melodies and playing styles. This Voltage Controlled Music Theory guides the Algorithms in a unified way, whereas CENTROID, FLUX and H-LOCK sculpt the timbre of each Algorithm uniquely, allowing for complex sounds to be created around a unified melodic structure and pattern.

3 Voice Additive Harmonic synthesis inspired by Thaddeus Cahill's Telharmonium, 1897 http://120years.net/the-telharmonium-...

Noise synthesis inspired by early computer music piece "Analog 1: Noise Study" by James Tenney, 1961

3 Voice Phase Modulation synthesis inspired by early commercial digital synthesis, 1980's

CENTROID, FLUX and H-LOCK animate each Algorithm uniquely

All Algorithms available simultaneously at their respective outputs

6 octaves of continuous 1V/ Octave pitch control

4 octaves of quantized pitch control

Voltage Controlled Music Theory

DEGREE Modulation able to be synchronized by clock or gate via D-Gate input

Gate Out completes the conversation between tELHARMONIC and rest of system!

Utilizes High performance DSP hardware with 24bit, 48kHz codec, 32 bit floating point processing

Reasonable power consumption

Pairs well with Optomix"

Stewart Copeland's SYCOLOGIC PSP Percussion Processor Electronic Drum Module

Note the listing has ended. It was a non working unit and sold for $26. Capturing the pics and info for the archives. These are the first pics of the PSP on the site. In fact there were only four prior Sycologic posts prior to this one as you can see via the Sycologic channel label at the bottom of this post. Further below are a couple of scanned print ads currently listed here. Unfortunately the scans are not complete so we can only get a glimpse of some of the functionality.

via the description for the actual hardware unit: "DESCRIPTION - This listing is for a SYCOLOGIC PSP Percussion Signal Processor Electronic Drum Module. We are selling this item from the personal collection of musical legend, Stewart Copeland.

If requested, we can provide a certificate of authenticity, issued by Techno Empire and signed by our president, that this item was procured directly from Stewarts studio..."

ArmonConcert - Strings/Brass/Reeds/Piano Synth...


Published on Aug 3, 2015 noddyspuncture

"Here is the 'ArmonConcert' I repaired... a very retro and cheesy 70's Italian keyboard that is actually pretty decent...! It has it's own unique sound. Very interesting to play with... seems to respond well to some external effects too...;)"

This is the first video demo of the ArmonConcert I've seen. One was featured in this audio track. You can find pics of the front panel and some of the inside in this previous post of one for sale.
