Schmidt Design Prototyping from Designer Axel Hartmann

Auto-translated via Axel Hartmann on Facebook:

"What does not come out on this rendering; - at the Schmidt you can adjust the color and intensity for all Leds (collected) and for the display accentuating free and above all floating over the complete spectrum by knobs. This is a very fine feature that always hits bright enthusiasm"

Update: according to Swissdoc, this was one of the initial design renderings of the Schmidt shared by Axel Hartmann on FB thread and not new: "the picture shown by Axel Hartmann is one of the first renderings he did for the Schmidt about 10 years ago. So that is nothing new. Very similar to the Little Phatty. Design was changed to what we know by today."

NuEVI Feels Like - by Nyle Steiner and Mark Steiner

Published on Aug 5, 2018 Mark Steiner

"How does it feel to play the NuEVI?

For wait list and info, email: TheNuEVI@gmail.com.

NuEVI created by Johan Berglund of Berglund Instruments in Sweden.
EVI invented by Nyle Steiner.
Save the EVI movement successfully realized and driven by Steve Anderson.

Jason, my 12 year old son asked why we were doing such a strange thing in this video. I told him it was just a stunt. He said, quite seriously, "that's really not a stunt, Dad, that's just screwing around."

A little bit distorted by youtube compression, but not as badly as often can be for an isolated saw wave sound. Doing this video I did tests and learned that their compression doesn't distort a pulse width modulated square wave. And that both are far less distorted if you pan them at about 6% (or more but I did 6%) away from center. So happy find. Thank you for listening!

Setup: NuEVI midi to CV.OCD converter to Doepfer Slew on breath, controlling a Manhatten Analog - Nyle Steiner Synthesystem Filter, which is filtering a Pittsburgh Modular VCO, which goes through Valhalla Hall reverb. A journey of human to digital to analog through digital... all used to strengthen each other."

Forst, West Germany | SE-02, Plumbutter, Minidisc, OP1, Fieldkit FX, Thyme

Published on Aug 5, 2018 HAINBACH

"The last piece in my holiday series - back home today. The Ciat-Lonbarde Plumbutter is a beautiful filter - running the Roland SE-02 through it gives wide stereo movement and adds even more warmth to this tiny but powerful synthesizer.

Minidisc plays lyrics I sung and cut-up through the lovely delay and frequency shifter on the Field Kit FX, OP1 is the choir patch.'

Moog Grandmother and Octave Cat Messing About #1

Published on Aug 5, 2018 Earmonkey Music

"This video is a general messing about with the Moog Grandmother with the Octave Cat signal patched into the audio in of the Grandmother. You can create some pretty big sounds with the Moog and the Octave Cat is no slouch. Really, this is just me experimenting and talking a bit about what I'm doing. Mostly music and knob twiddling though."
