Five Step Path - Refeld [auxilia - defunkt records]

Published on Jan 19, 2018 Five Step Path

This one is in via Tomas Borosko:

"I have been obsessed with Waldorf lately and their character of a sound. I have been focused on making tracks solely using the Blofeld synthesizer, utilizing its 25 voices and 16 multi-part midi channels. The video I am sharing with you today shows the midi data being fed into the synth. All sounds programmed on the synth and sequenced via Renoise. It was recorded in real time, so everything you hear comes out of the main output. I figured I would share this with MatrixSynth to show what the synth is capable with, especially completely immersing into it like a full track. The track has been mastered.

20 01 18 Serge Modular - Scrotum Lab Panel Nr 1

Published on Jan 20, 2018 batchas

"Sound at the beginning is from Serge Paperface and Machinedrum.
Then comes the sound from 258, 555-VCO and the 2 different LPGs present on the panel.
An LFO is sent to a XFader to fade between TIMBRAL GATE and RESONANT LOPASS GATE.

All works fine on the panel, except the AM/RING which first needs to be done. I'll be able to make the PCB very soon, now that I got my computer back."

Rare James Sing Along Vintage Guitar Synth

This one was spotted on Craigslist and sent in via Kaden Harris. I don't believe I have ever seen one of these before. You will find two demos and a pic of the inside below.

From the listing: "I have this one of a kind guitar synth from about 1965. I've emailed many different gear professionals and none have ever seen one. I even got replys from Roger Mayer, Tom Oberheim, and guitar world. I was told it is a hand built prototype and I believe this could actually be one of the first guitar synthesizers ever made. I received it without the original power cord and guitar pickup. It has an obscure cinch jones 12 pin input so I bought the appropriate adapter and had a quarter inch jack connector installed. It has a new power cable. The unit passes signal and it has a bass octave tone that works. It has several organ tones but I can't seem to get them to do anything. Ideally it could use a modern synth pickup adapted to it and other work to get it going. I'm looking to trade it for a high end guitar. Here's a couple links for a demo https://www.instagram.com/p/BZYtezUA1eM/

Anyone ever see one of these? Newest date stamp on anything inside is 1965. 12 pin input, 2 1/4" outs (there are 2 identical channels). Nothing labeled lol. Really want to get it back in working order. I cant find ANY information on it. #james #singalong #vintage #guitarsynth #1960s #organ #stompbox #guitareffects
