"Vintage early 80's analog synth Rhodes Chroma Model 2103 #0567, the last significant project by ARP synthesizers. 16 channel programmable polyphonic synth with true dynamic keyboard feel (velocity and after-touch sensitive full-size wooden keys). This keyboard is in great physical condition. It has seen no use since it was purchased from the music store 35 yrs ago. The keyboard is close to being physically immaculate, clean in and out, not a nick on it. Original wood looks great and all keys like new and snap right back responsively with no marks on them at all. Keyboard has the original power supply which still works. That being said, electronics like to be on and 35 years of no use results in some necessary internal service. When switched on the fan runs but LED's aren't lighting up. This will need to be checked out by a technician but I've already discussed with and been estimated to completely upgrade to full working condition the following, where necessary, new power supply, new CPU board, any issues with analog voices etc. somewhere in the range of $1000-$2000. Pro re-furbed units have been recently selling by known brokers in the $8000-$9000 range and there is currently one selling on eBay for ($9699)."

Astro Pi / Tim Peake inspired piece created for the Brighton Modular Meet

Published on Jun 30, 2018 The Mad Music Machine

'We were thrilled to be invited to run a demonstration of the Mad Music Machine at the Brighton Modular Meet.

We thought it would be a good idea to create a patch using waveforms generated from our Astro Pi data with samples we created from the European Space Agency commentary of Tim Peakes flight from Earth to the International Space Station.

We used the Synthesis Technology WaveeEdit programme to create the wavetables which on the E370 are taken from the pattern formed by the humidity data recorded in our experiment. The E352 uses a sample of the engine noise of the Soyuz TMA-19M which on which Tim Peake travelled - this is modulated in cloud mode to give the 'engine' sounds.

As the data was generated on a Raspberry Pi so we thought it would be appropriate to use Sonic Pi for for the sequencing :)

Her Caitlin jams with that patch :)"

TERMINATOR (Matrixbrute x4)

Published on Jun 30, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Get the headphones on and crank the volume up to full :) The original piece is a masterwork. Absolutely stunning. I created a version/arrangement for Matrixbrute. Four-part.

I've grown the texture with each re-entry of the theme, building to an ultimate, wet-your-pants, uber-powered climax.

This arrangement is slightly different from the original i.e. bassline etc, but in this version it works well. I'm happy with how this turned out. I spent a little time on the arrangement last night, and recorded/filmed the work today. All takes are live; no editing.

The arrangement sounds far bigger than only 4 parts. Such is the sheer analog strength of the MB.

I assume there shouldn't even be any need for more discussion RE the Matrixbrute's strengths/weaknesses: the instrument is hands-down one of the best mono synths. Ever.

And I'm a fussy bugger :)

RE musical info: key of Ebm, 13/8 time. :)

All best
Enjoy

Novation Peak meets the Zoom Q2n

Published on Jun 30, 2018 suitandtieguy

"Playing around with the Peak and the A-49, which is apparently my new hotel room workstation. The line audio is going into a Zoom Q2n's "ext audio" input, which has a mic pre in it. It sounds pretty good considering that and the video isn't bad at all, actually.

This is a neat little patch I just made on the Peak. Animate 1 modulates the amp EG release, and Animate 2 brings in 2 cycles of a positive only LFO on the start of the sound.

Animate 1 and 2 are mapped to S1 and S2 on the Roland A-49. these two pieces go together very well."
