MidiSizer MidiGAL w/ MidiPAL v1.4 firmware

via this auction

Not sure when the MidiGAL was released, but this appears to be the first time it has been featured here on the site.

Details via the listing:

"MidiSizer MidiGAL, hand built with love by Pete Kvitek and running MidiPAL v1.4 firmware.

It includes 19 different MIDI 'apps', ranging from MIDI debugging or routing utilities to compositional tools like arpeggiators, scale, midi delay, and pattern generators.

Although this MidiGAL is running Mutable Instruments firmware, there is a number of other firmware variants that were developed specifically for MidiGAL.

I think you can flash your own firmware if you know what you're doing.

Product page for MidiGAL is here - midisizer.com/midigal/
MidiPAL firmware info: mutable-instruments.net/midipal

The unit is in a clear acrylic case and ships with the power supply pictured in the listing."

Last pic below is minus the case via the midisizer website which has the following details on the MidiGAL:

"Although MidiGAL can run Mutable Instruments MIDIpal firmware, there is a number of other firmware variants that were developed specifically for MidiGAL:

MidiClk — MIDI clock tester/generator
MidiArp — advanced MIDI arpeggiator
MidiSeq — polyphonic MIDI step sequencer
MidiGAL differences from MIDIpal

While MidiGAL hardware is almost identical to the original MIDIpal, there are some minor differences:

8×2 LCD (MIDIpal uses 8×1)
tactile switch (MIDIpal has no switch)
external EEPROM (MIDIpal has no external EEPROM)
4 x I/O ports (MIDIpal has 8 of them)"

Pics of the inside below.

"If you're looking at this listing you probably know about this weird beast. Part digital, part analog, all Italian.

I have seen a few of these over the years and never saw one completely functional, as this one is. Even the poly works!

Some of the pots and switches could use a cleaning. I would be glad to clean them before shipping if the high bidder would like this.

The pics tell the story: No missing parts, no broken shafts, pretty clean inside and out. One of the feet on the back has been pushed in. See pics."

Vergers by Sarah Davachi on the EMS SYNTHI 100

"Released (LP) November 2016 by Important Records

Composed, performed, recorded, and mixed by Sarah Davachi
Mastered by James Plotkin
Layout by Konrad Jandavs
Special thanks to Richard Smith

Vergers is Davachi's third full-length release following Barons Court (2015, Students of Decay) and Dominions (2016, JAZ Records), and her second appearance with Important Records following 2014's August Harp cassette on the Cassauna imprint. In this work, she meditates on a single electronic instrument, the EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer, while also weaving sparse acoustic elements – her own voice and violin – into a series of three long-form, muted gestures.

Elements of distance and alienation are certainly at play in the textural quality of these compositions, a feeling that is further defined by track titles that reference the spirit world and an album title that calls to mind the solitary tasks of the church orderly. The record opens with the aptly titled, 'gentle so gentle', a side-long movement that harkens the glacial character of Davachi's previous efforts. 'ghosts and all' and 'in staying' suggest a more disjointed path, with the latter culminating in a subtly dissonant dirge that leaves little absolve between the organic, the artificial, and the impermanent.

Sarah Davachi - Vergers Promo Published on Nov 29, 2016 Shasta Cults

In the video above Sarah Davachi plays with a SYNTHI AKS.

Update: via Sarah Davachi's bio page:

"Sarah Davachi (b. 1987, Calgary, Canada) holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy from the University of Calgary, and a master's degree in electronic music and recording media from Mills College in Oakland, California. As a composer of electronic and electroacoustic music, Davachi is engaged in practices of analog synthesis, psychoacoustic manipulations, and studio composition. Davachi's compositional projects are primarily concerned with disclosing the antiquated instruments and forgotten sonics of a bygone era in analog synthesis, with concurrent treatment of acoustic sources – particularly organs, strings, and woodwinds – often involving de-familiarization through processing. Her work considers the experience of enveloped sonic dwelling, utilizing extended durations, gradual transformations in texture, and simple harmonic structures that emphasize variations in overtone complexity and natural phasing patterns.

Her work as a music researcher concerns aspects of experimentalism, organology and archival study, and phenomenology and perception, and has been published and presented within Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom..." You can find her full bio here.

THEREVOX ET-4.1 ANALOG SYNTHESIZER ONDES MARTENOT CLONE

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

via this auction, and on Reverb

"A truly inspiring and unique analog synthesizer utilizing the kinetic interface of the rare Ondes Martenot synthesizer from the 20's and famously used by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. This synthesizer features dual oscillators that track pitch through the wire and pulley system capable of wholly distinct sounds and expression of vibrato and glissando. This is a hauntingly gorgeous sounding instrument and comes with a built in spring reverb unit and comes with an ATA travel case. These are hand made in Canada and have a 3-4 month turnaround and are very rare to see used. This is an instant inspiration in the studio and will add an otherworldly element to your performance or recordings. We pack perfectly and ship fast!

Features:

-Two independent temperature compensated analog oscillators with sync function
-Six octave positions for each oscillator covering C0 to C8
