Moog Grandmother // Gram Jam No. 2
Published on Jun 11, 2018 Chimy Music
"Gram Jam round two! These are seriously fun to make. Still totally digging this synth. I've learned a few tips and tricks since my last video. I'd imagine I'm probably a couple hundred hours short of fully understanding what this thing is capable of.
This jam is actually a re-work of one of my older synthesizer compositions entitled, 'Analog 5.' Once again, other than the drums, all sounds were created using the Moog Grandmother. Hope you enjoy!"

This track sums up a beautiful month of touring Germany, Czech and Croatia. Recorded on the beach the Lighthouse Festival in Porec, in between soundcheck and my performance on the beautiful modular floor there. You can hear birds from Brno, voices from Prague and the sea."

"Palindrome is a granular morph plotting sampler geared toward experimental sound design.
The basic concept behind Palindrome is to fuse four granular samplers with a coordinate plotting grid and complex modulation sources in order to facilitate the creation of morphing sound effects and unusual instrument patches.
The plugin’s main grid section facilitates the creation of custom paths that determine the trajectory of a playhead over time. This playhead travels across a user-definable path that corresponds with the outputs of the samplers which are smoothly morphed using a bilinear interpolation algorithm. Palindrome also features 8 user-definable multi-breakpoint modulation envelopes to facilitate the creation of intricate modulation shapes.
With its 4 granular samplers, morph-plotting system, 8 multi-breakpoint modulation envelopes, dual effects processors per sampler, shape presets, 4-note polyphony, deep randomization system, global reverb, 1.4GB sample library and numerous factory presets, Palindrome brings sound designers a powerful new sound sculpting tool.
Test of Mutable Instruments Marbles with Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter and Mutant Drums

"Mutable Instruments Marbles module controlling Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter (BIA), and Hexinverter Mutant Bassdrum and Mutant Hihats modules.
Marbles sending random triggers and voltages. Trigger one (T1 - coin toss side 1) triggering Mutant Bassdrum. Trigger two (T2 - constant pulse) triggering Mutant Hihats. Trigger 3 (T3 - coin toss side 2) triggering BIA.
Three random voltages (X1, X2 and X3) and Y generator all controlling different CV controls on the BIA.
Using a Doepfer A-155 sequencer to send voltage changes to the "rate" input on the Marbles to speed it up and slow it down based on the sequence step. Also sending clock to Marbles."
NuEVI playing MicroBrute - Mark Steiner
Published on Jun 10, 2018 Mark Steiner
"NuEVI from Berglund Instruments playing Arturia's MicroBrute directly via midi. I'm also working on fully patched modular sounds, MatrixBrute and Roland SE-02 demo videos with the NuEVI (coming soon).
With the latest update for the MicroBrute, the pitch bend and mod wheel midi no longer interfere (caused bad zippering sounds). Before this, midi control from a wind synth didn't sound very good (CV was GREAT though).
Now is sounds very smooth and great for a wind synth. You must drive the filter using the mod wheel, as the MicroBrute has very limited midi in. Sadly, exposing analog tones like this on Youtube does tend to add a little distortion at times, but you still get a good idea of the amazing tone this synth can get...in a fully clean way.
But it's a very inexpensive true VCO Analog Synth and has a Nyle Steiner filter. It sounds great.
For updates and wait list for the incredible NuEVI, email: TheNuEVI (at) gmail.com.

What can Alice-1387 synth? - Mighty Bass by Soviet Monster!

"Just pure sound recorded directly from the board
This analog synthesizer was made in USSR in the year 1983 and spent many years in conservation, so it seems to be in a good state"
RARE KAWAI MEMORICORDER MC-1 WITH ORIGINAL MANUAL SN 331021

via this auction
Never seen one of these before.
Note the "Digital Excellence" DX logo on the left. The DX is in Yamaha font. The red orange stripe is reminiscent of Roland.
Update: You can find one sitting on top of a Kawai DX800 Digital Organ in this video. Considering the name, I am again curious if there is any relation to Yamaha. I checked Wikipedia and found the following:
"Koichi Kawai, the company founder, was born in Hamamatsu, Japan in 1886. As the son of a wagon maker, Kawai developed an ability to create mechanical devices and inventions as young boy. His neighbor, Torakusu Yamaha, a watchmaker and reed organ builder, noticed Koichi riding past on a unique pedal-driven cart he built himself. Impressed, Yamaha, who was struggling to build his first upright pianos, took the early-teenager in as an apprentice. While just a young man, he became a key member of the research and development team that first introduced pianos to his country. He proved to be a gifted inventor who became the first to design and build a complete piano action in Japan. He was awarded many patents for his designs and inventions.[1]"
Fascinating bit of synth history.
Update2 via swissdoc: " With a bit of Google I could spot this document in French, which reveals the function of it
It is to store registration settings of the organ. It can save to magnetic card. Thats it. Nothing fancy."

4-digit BPM display Synchronization status indicator
Rotating MIDI clock display
Tap 4 way Nudge control for manually adjusting the BPM Lock-in time
Typically 2 - 4 sec's (readable beat information)
Accuracy: 0.1 BPM
Input level: Nominal line level (1V peak)
Display: 1 x 4 character 7 segment LED BPM Range 60-230"
