ARP ODYSSEY - Marc Doty Inside Look Part 3: Oscillator Functions (2 of 2)

Published on Nov 19, 2015 ARP

"Section two of Marc Doty’s breakdown of the Oscillator functions on the ARP ODYSSEY by KORG complete with sound demos and instruction."

All parts here.

Troubled Voltages (Korg Arp Odyssey)

"This one features nearly ALL sounds from the (Korg) Arp Odyssey alone, except for the live hi-hat, cymbals, and tambourine.
Since the Odyssey is mono/duphonic, the chords you hear were pieced together ONE note at a time! (yes, you heard that right).

The Kick, snare, & 'zaps' are Odyssey as well.

Korg really nailed this re-issue. Sounds just like the originals to my ears!

"The first ever Synth with Midi! The Prophet 600 is extremely versatile and easy to use! Its best functions include the onboard arpeggiator, 2-track sequencer and poly-modulation. The P600 is great for creating analog effects, swells and drones. It has a cool glide effect and has very flexible modulation possibilities!"

"Simply a legendary synth. Conditions are excellent both cosmetically and sonically. J wire keyboard, working perfectly, no annoying double trig, or key not working. Absolutely gorgeus synth for bass sounds, but you can also make some very cool bell sound."

"Demonstration of my Pro One that I cleaned and replaced the rubber key stops etc... It is an analogue synthesizer."

via this auction

"Great Christmas gift. Great vintage condition. It is 100% functional. Expect some minor cosmetic blemishes as pictured. There are three small blemishes on the keyboard (D#0, A#2 and C3 see pictures). I have tuned and calibrated the Pro One using the manual (included). I have cleaned the synthesizer inside and out and cleaned the keyboard J wires and pots. I have replaced all of the rubber key stops. It plays beautifully. There is a (added) microphone connection on the back of the Pro One that is not hooked up internally (the phone plug audio out works fine). The Pro One’s Serial number is 100-2547. My Pro One has always been in a smoke free pet free home studio & never gigged with."

The Collidoscope Prototype Double Granular Synthesiser

Crazy Synthesizer Demo Published on Nov 19, 2015 Doctor Mix

"Meet The Collidoscope, a prototype double granular synthesiser by researchers Fiore Martin & Ben Bengler. More instruments and gear on http://www.doctormix.com/blog/

This hybrid keyboard is a combination between a sampler and a supercollider synth engine, designed to be played by two performers at the same time."

Update: some additional info & pics via Doctor Mix follow. Note it is currently a prototype and not for sale. If it does end up being produced for purchase they do not have an estimate of how much it might cost.

Update2: You'll find the website for Collidoscope at http://collidoscope.io. Note the Collidoscope is not by DoctorMix. They only featured it and of course made the video above. The Collidoscope is an independent project.

"The Collidoscope is a prototype synthesiser designed by researchers Ben Bengler & Fiore Martin.

Based on a granular synthesiser engine the instrument can be played by two performers at the same time (as they stand opposite one another on the sides of the unit) using the 2 built-in sets of keyboard, gooseneck microphone, colour display and controllers.

The Collidoscope samples from the microphones (or line inputs) and displays in real time a waveform of the sample and allows it to be played back instantly. The main sliding knob positioned below the waveform allows for the visual selection of a portion of the sample to be played (by moving it horizontally), and for the modification of the size of the portion being looped (through rotating the knob).

Two additional sliders allow for the high passing of the sound and for the extension of the boundaries of the loop being played to its neighbouring audio material, fading in more of the audio sample without changing the rhythm of the loop.

There are also two backlit octave selection buttons and a sturdy metal button next to the microphone base to start sampling.

The Collidoscope is revolutionary for the way in which it changes the relationship between the performer and sampling process, allowing a seemingly infinite way of manipulating the sound without interrupting its flow."
