Dawless Jamming by Jörg Schaaf of Radikal Technologies

Dawless Jamming Vol 1

Published on Jul 26, 2016 Jörg Schaaf

"I am using the Spectralis 2, an Accelerator, the Strymon Timeline delay and some eurorack modules (RT-451, Crossmodulated oscillators, VCAs and Envelopes).
All the drum and fx sounds in the Spectralis have been sampled from the eurorack system. Before starting my jam I spent a couple of hours in the creation of new kicks, snares, hihats and strange sounds. The Spectralis 2 hybrid synth does all the sequencer and bass sounds. I hope you enjoy the video!"

Gotharman's anAmoNo X - The Single Analog Filter

Published on Jul 26, 2016 gotharman

"Today I am tweaking the single analog filter available for anAmoNo X. At the end of this video, I play back a beat, where the kick drum is made by the single filter, with sequencer controlled feedback."

"...presenting a completely DAW-less jam :-), only using the left hand to control patterns and synths - the right hand is holding the cam, so you see some first person synth perspective ;-).

I will try to put in some Youtube video text overlays to tell you what is going on... :-)

Gear used:
Alesis Andromeda - Lead Sequence #1
Commodore 64 SIDs in a MB6582 - Lead Sequence #2
Yamaha FS1r - Bass Sequence #1

SH-101 Classics #2 - Aphex Twin - Polynomial C

Published on Jul 26, 2016 Simon Stokes

"This is another absolute favourite of mine that I was looking forward to trying to work out. Patch made entirely on the 101 going into a TC Electronic M350 for reverb duties.

Kick and hats from TR-8, break from a sample."

Electro Harmonix Mini Synthesizer for iPad

Published on Jul 25, 2016 pantsofdeath

Mini Synthesizer for iPhone - Electro-Harmonix
iPad version: Mini Synthesizer - Electro-Harmonix

"From synthmuseum.com: It also has a single VCO with only one waveform -pulse- and an octave divider (dividers almost always produce square waves, as is the case here). The pulse wave has a dedicated LFO for PWM, controlled by the Phasing switch and the Phase Rate slider. (PWM is electronically easy to do and many manufacturers pretend that their PWM circuit is really a phase shifter). This is run through a filter that can be made to be a real phase shifter! The envelope controls on this filter are deceptively simple: you set the frequency at key down and the frequency at key up and the amount of time it takes to change from one to the other as a key is pressed/released.

The filter has a resonance (Q) switch and a 2x switch that raises one (but not both) of the frequencies being emphasized by an octave or so. The result sounds like (and probably is, although I don't have a schematic) a real phase shifter. Finally, there is a VCA and an effects processor. The effects processor is an analog delay line, with the usual echo controls, and I believe it is only available on the later units. Early ones don't have either the delay line or the strip above the keyboard that works like a ribbon to produce performer-controlled glide.

Between the bizarre filter and the fact that it likes to play notes below middle C - way below - I think this makes an excellent bass machine for serious analog junkies, although the lack of ability to do a percussion envelope will probably rule it out for Techno use."

Atlantic Research TMG-1 Test Message Generator and TSS-1 Test Signal Source

A bit of vintage lab equipment.

Atlantic Research TMG-4 Test Message Generator

Published on Jul 25, 2016 Stephen Cain

According to Steve Cain:

"This is an Atlantic Research TMG-4 Test Message Generator I found in a dumpster today.
It is plugged straight into a 10W guitar amp.
I appoligize for the audio quality.
I did not want to risk recording gear on an initial test."

Update via Steve Cain:

"The freaky part is, the end of the second video [top video above], I had turned the amp volume all the way off. It's pumping enough juice to power the speaker anyway" ... "and they made Minuteman Missiles too." ... "Atlantic Research Corp. was a major military and NASA contractor back in the day."

Vintage Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 Synthesizer Black Walnut Wood End NOS

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Here's something you definitely don't see often.

Update: the listing notes the wood is Oak, but it appears to be black walnut. Thanks goes to Anonymous in the comments for catching it.

"Here is the LEFT (if you are facing the machine) wood end bell for the Prophet 10. This was ordered directly from Sequential and not used. This is for the side closest to the heatsink or the drive. If you have a rev 3 Prophet the drive is on the side of the machine on this side. If you have a Rev 2 Prophet it is located on the front of the machine.

Both the wood ends on my P10 look great so I am passing this onto someone else. NO ONE is making P10 wood end replacements. They only made about 400 (that's what I grew up reading and hearing who knows if that is true) so there is not much of a market for reproductions.

If your P10 is missing a wood end, or yours is cosmetically damaged, I am sure you are happy to see this auction."
