Synthesizers.com Puzzle

Just a few pics of my completed Synthesizers.com puzzle.

I didn't actually do the work though. :)

I gave it to my wife and daughter for Christmas this year as a bit of a gag gift. They love puzzles, and work on one almost every night, but they aren't into synths like me (they do support my habit though :). Well, they finally got around to tackling this one, and I was surprised to hear that they actually enjoyed it! They said it was a fun one because the pieces were distinct. On some puzzles where the patterns appear to be too similar it can be frustrating, but not so with this one.

Published on Aug 7, 2016 Karl Charles

"The original Roland TR808 TV commercial from 1980."

"I’ve been digging through my archive looking for this since I saw the 808 doc last year at the BFI. Very happy to be able to share it for 808 day."

Update: at the very end of the video you will see a 1980 copyright for Origin Workshop.

"Origin Workshop is the home of Director Alexander Dunn and Producer Matthew Jarman.

After meeting while working on the feature documentary 808, they set up Origin Workshop in 2015
to develop new projects and craft content. They are currently developing a number of projects including

DreamsOfWires - Arturia Microbrute (with Korg Volca Keys)

Published on Aug 5, 2016 DreamsOfWires

"I picked up a cheap Microbrute today, since I sold my Micromoog and Minibrute SE (not because it sounds like the offspring of the two), so the first thing I did with it was a little idea I'd already recorded using the Minibrute and Micromoog a while ago, but never got around to finishing and uploading it. I'll probably finish that version too and upload it to Soundcloud this week.

Anyway, this is pretty typical stuff from me really, sounding like something from a cheap slasher flick. The bass notes were done using the Volca Keys, both parts were recorded, improvised, and messed up live into Cubasis on an iPad, with AUFX:Dub and AudioReverb, using an Arturia Keystep purely as a keyboard.

Special thanks to those who bought my albums, it really is appreciated, it helps."

This is a Theremin standard which has been part of the Hermigervill live show for ages, but never properly recorded or documented.

The backing track is a MIDI track which runs through a MIDI modified Korg Polysix."
