Matter - Modular Performance

Published on Apr 20, 2016 anthony burchell

"Been sick all day so I revisited yesterdays patch. This is the Mutable Rings being sequenced by the Antimatter Brain Seed which is being clocked by the metropolis that is controlling the z3000 bass. The elements is getting a copy of the pitch cv from the metropolis and its fm is being modulated by the pressure points going through the Intellijel µscale quantizer. The pressure points is controlling the elements dampening knob, the Rings structure, and the rings dampening knob."

" Electrocomp Model 500 Synthesizer
Electronic Music Labs Inc.
Vernon, Conn. 06066

My father, Wally Cirillo, owned this Classic Electrocomp Model 500 Synthesizer.

This was Wally Cirillo’s (Famous Jazz Pianist) first ever synthesizer that he owned.

My Father could make this thing sing like a canary.

Beside his Steinway Concert Grand Piano, this was his baby.

Just a few years before he passed away in 1977 he purchased his Arp 2600 Synthesizer and then this one, got put away and stored until now.

I was going threw some of his stuff that we had put away and found this. I forgot about this synthesizer, I figured his Family (sister) had taken it just like all of the Autographed Albums of my Dad & Joe made. To my surprise it still looks & Plays great! I plugged it in and hooked it up to my Amp and it still worked making those great sounds.
39 years in storage and in a homemade carrying case Wally Built for it. WOW!

There are some issues: the Slides move but with some resistance. (Needs to be cleaned).
There are 3 broken slides that can be repaired, and some Scratches and dings from being used and or stored.
The Keys are as white as the day they were put on. There is on the bottom a Number scratched into it. 524

I’m assuming that this is the serial Number? Not sure, there is no other markings on the synthesizer except for the front panel.
This is a Great Fixer Upper for the Vintage Musical Instrument collector’s out there."

Live Korg Volca Jam 35 : Microkorg, Korg Volca & Renoise

Published on Apr 20, 2016 Todd Smith

"I've taken a few days to explore Renoise more and try to get it work with Ableton the way I like it and pretty much nailed it last night. In this jam I don't push past 16 bars but I'm running a 16 bar 4 pattern loop that cuts the Volca Bass every other pattern so I take small advantage of external sequencer. I'm using Renoise to mute my VST and sample based tracks with PC keyboard. The Korg Volca Bass , Korg Volca Keys and Korg Volca Beats are sequenced by midi with Renoise. I use the local knobs to control the Korg Volca parameters and volume. The Korg Volca Beats only supplies the high hats , the snare and kick are samples from Renoise. I used A few VST's for background sequences. The ReFX Nexus and LennarDigital Sylenth1 are sequenced and muted by Renoise. The Microkorg is played live and supplies a pad and FX.
