Silent Mind by Bendu

A new release from supporting MATRIXSYNTH member, Bendu.

"Tracks created, recorded and assembled by Bendu in Los Angeles, California.

Window was created for a live performance at the Moogfest edition of Modular on the Spot in 2017. This version was realized with a modular synthesizer comprised almost entirely of Make Noise modules, augmented with a Make Noise 0-Coast synthesizer and a Korg SQ-1 sequencer.

Bowl was created for Disquiet Junto 0318 Linear Training. The task was to make "a piece of music based on a single held tone." I recorded a twenty-inch quartz crystal bowl for far longer than the prescribed "five to ten seconds" and used this as the basis for my music. The original unaltered recording begins the piece.

Indigo meditation was created for Disquiet Junto 0323 Music for Meditation. The piece is for a meditation focused on the third eye. Quartz crystal bowls at 323.24 Hz, 168.26 Hz, and 257.3 Hz, and a Verbos Harmonic Oscillator at 64.32 Hz into a Make Noise MMG modulated by a Bubblesound ULFO. Vocals by Clive Owen Wilson, a cat, and water bowl percussion by Banjo, also a cat.

Cogitate 2 was conceived as a live performance for a Voltage Control Lab workshop. It was realized using the same modified Make Noise Shared System and performed at Modular on the Spot LA in 2017.

Published on Aug 3, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Episode 8 of 54HP includes something a little different, an iPad controlled case with drums and bass-line, the 'iPad Acid Composer.' The Quicco Sound Mi.1e module connects over bluetooth to an iPad running a free app that has sequencers, clocks, LFOs and sliders that can output control voltages. The drums are made with the Snazzy FX Kick_me, ALM Dinky’s Taiko and Bastl Skis and Noise Square. The Synth sound is made with an Intellijel Dixie II+ oscillator, and LXD for VCA, and the Eternal Spring Filter as the wild and squelchy acid filter.

CASIOPROPHET - How to bring you the Prophet-5 sync sound in a Casio CZ synthesizer

Published on Aug 2, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

Sound tutorial (or more a experiment) that want to show how can bring expensive sounds in cheap synths. It`s all about good sound programming. The famous Sequential Prophet-5 sync sound is one of the most iconic sounds in history of synthesizers. Sure is the Casio CZ no Prophet . The Prophet-5 is fantastic with unique sound. A real classic and analog beauty. But you can create also on cheap and underrated synths sounds with legendary soul. Try it."

EDP Caterpillar for EDP Wasp Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"An extremely rare 'Caterpillar' controller designed by Chris Huggett. The caterpillar has four ports on the back for controlling up to four EDP synthesizers via 7 pin DIN sockets. One link cable is also included (not pictured in this sale).

As you can see this has aged really well, and has been recently serviced by SRS prior to sale.

The two controls on the front panel are for:

1. selecting how many devices you want to control (1-4 or Voice setting).
2. Selecting Unison, Poly or Cycle, there is also a separate Hold setting that gives you the option of also selecting Unison, Poly or Cycle.

The unit powers off of a single 9V battery.

Note: There is a design flaw with the Wasp circuitry that does not allow the lowest C note (first key from the left) to trigger the Wasp. However by the time EDP designed the Gnat they fixed this problem and the lowest C note will trigger a Gnat, this has been tested as I also own a Gnat and Gnat Special. The unit has been tested working fully prior to listing.

This is not a synth but a controller please be informed :)"

VINTAGE 1975 KORG V-C-F VOLTAGE CONTROLLED FILTER SN 750203 w/ Original Box

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

via this auction

"Vintage 1975 Korg V-C-F effects unit, made in Japan. This is a voltage controlled filter with onboard knob and slider controls for the signal parameters, plus an external treadle pedal for optional foot control of the sweep. These were considered the first "guitar synths" for their unique filter manipulation.

Perfect clean operation and the full complete original set in near mint condition as pictured. Includes the main unit, treadle pedal, connector cable, box, manual (in Japanese & English), plus original warranty cards from its first retail sale in Japan. This unit is designed for operation at 100VAC, so a voltage converter will be required for use anywhere outside Japan."
