NOISECOLLECTIVE Modular Synth Masterclass Workshop with Gino Robair

NOISECOLLECTIVE is having a modular synth masterclass workshop with Gino Robair. The event will be held at the Mothership club in Turin Italy. You can pick up tickets at NOISECOLLECTIVE here. The following are the details on the event, first in Italian, then English further below.

IL WORKSHOP
Il workshop prenderà in esame una serie di tecniche da utilizzare durante l'improvvisazione con sintetizzatori modulari in un contesto di gruppo e pone le basi per un concerto la sera stessa, con i partecipanti al workshop.

Il workshop si concentrerà sulla sensibilizzazione e l'ascolto globale durante l' improvvisazione, esplorerà strategie di patching per ottenere la massima varietà ed evitare la stagnazione.

Verranno presi in esame concetti come primo piano / sottofondo, solista / supporto, controllo gestuale, e intenzione / non-intenzione.

Particolare interessante per i musicisti che utilizzano sintetizzatori modulari perché spesso la tentazione con lo strumento è quello di sovrapporre semplicemente suoni.

Gino utilizza strategie, concetti e spunti basati sul suo lavoro e sul lavoro di John Zorn, Butch Morris, ROVA Sax Quartet, Anthony Braxton e Frank Zappa.

I partecipanti devono portare un loro strumento. Possono utilizzare qualsiasi synth analogico, anche se il workshop è prevalentemente incentrato sui sintetizzatori modulari.

Dr. Blankenstein's "Boom-A-Ring" The Electronic Didgeridoo of the Future !

"This one doesn't need too much explaining, the title really says it all. It's an electronic didgeridoo with the illumiringer effect built into it. There is only one in the world, some will say that's a good time... some might not. You can expect nothing less from a one of a kind prototype. Since I am one of the world's worst didgeridoo players, I thought it best to let her go. I am sure there is someone out there that is a great player and deserves to own this sucker more than myself. Before doing so, I wanted to make a proper video of it (I don;t think I'll be making anymore anytime soon. This one was built years ago). The video is longer than I would have liked it to be, but I had a lot of ground to cover. Feel free to skip to the middle when the real demo action starts."

via this auction

"this synth is in amazing condition for its age (1974) with very minor wear the keys and action are in near mint shape and all functions and electronics are working perfectly.

the Korg 700s is the holy grail of the synth punk era, used by everyone from the Cure to the Human League and the Cars.

2 VCOs and a killer filter with stable tuning. very cool little synth

this unit is in excellent condition with very minor wear. you will have a hard time finding one in this shape for its age.

it even comes with its original case and I am throwing in a used synth house midi kit with it that i had installed in my SH-101.

NOTE: it is not installed so it would have to be installed by a synth tech or someone who has experience with soldering and electronics."

Emulator III Rack with Extras

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

via this auction

"This is the same exact sound and parts as the Emulator III keyboard but in a more portable rack version.

Very few of these rack versions exist and one is not likely to find another one in such nice functional condition and this with all the extras. Cosmetically it is great shape minus some rack rash, but the front is very clean.

The emulator units require an external device connected to it's SCSI connector at the time of powering on. After a successful boot-up there is no problem in data communication over SCSI.

It can be quite difficult to set up the SCSI chain with a large number of equipment (included), and a possible set-up could include the RM45 (44MB removable HDD) and HD300 (300MBHDD), by adding a 24-speed CD-ROM drive and 1GB jaz drive in the universal CD player.

EIII> HD300> RM45> CD-ROM drive> jaz drive with all powered on for OS to boot up from internal HDD.

By adding the jaz drive and a 24x CD-ROM drive removable 1GB, it becomes a high speed and very convenient system setup.

The unit has been upgraded with an OLED display, built in 540MB HDD, external Jaz drive, CD-ROM drive, and makes it a high speed and very convenient system setup.

Bound reference and instruction manuals are included."

Vintage Roland TB 303 with Kenton Mod & Extras

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

via this auction

"Roland TB 303 in very nice condition. Sparingly used in smoke free studio always kept in its case. Works very smooth and has a fantastic sound.

Comes with an installed Kenton mod which adds sockets for:

CV - provides Volt per Octave control over the oscillator frequency
Gate - controls when notes play (0 volts = note off / >3 volts = note on)
Filter - controls the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter (from aux out of converter)
Accent - turns on or off the accent feature (0 volts = accent off / >3 volts = accent on)
Slide - turns on or off the slide feature (0 volts = slide off / >3 volts = slide on)

It also comes with the Kenton Pro Solo MKII control box which is the hub in between your DAW and the TB 303. This way you can control the TB 303 from your computer in ways not possible just using a 303 as stand alone.

Power supplies included for both TB 303 as well as Kenton Pro Solo MKII.

Lastly the original black vinyl case is included."
