Vermona ET 6-1 - Benjamin LAZZARUS


Published on Apr 2, 2019 Benjamin LAZZARUS

"This track is only made with sounds coming from the Vermona ET 6-1, Electric Combo Organ 1972
Video: 'Melancholia' Lars Von Trier

https://benjaminlazzarus.bandcamp.com/

Morceau réalisé avec l'orgue Vermona ET 6-1, un orgue à transistor des année 70, à mi chemin entre le Vox continental et le Farfisa Compact. Un look "europe de l'est" habillé en faux bois en plastique, un son très typé rock garage et une magnifique réverbe intégré. Une petit particularité que j'aime beaucoup la fonction "repeat" qui permet de jouer les notes en croches que j'ai utilisé dans ce morceau. Avec la poignante fin du monde du film "Melancholia" de Lars Von Trier."

Googlish:

"Piece realized with the organ Vermona ET 6-1, a transistor organ of the year 70, halfway between the continental Vox and the Farfisa Compact. A look "Eastern Europe" dressed in faux wood plastic, a very typical rock garage sound and a beautiful integrated reverb. A small feature that I really like the "repeat" function that allows you to play the notes in eighth notes that I used in this piece. With the poignant end of the world of the film "Melancholia" by Lars Von Trier."

NANDAMONIUM 2019 - RAW Sounds Demo Euroack


Published on Apr 1, 2019 synthrotek

"Low pulsing drones, dive bombs and high-pitched laser sounds! This drone monster has six square wave oscillators with a delay, essentially combining two 4093 NAND Synths and one Cosmic ECHO.

The Nandamonium has two SAG CV inputs. When the CV jack is patched and the switch is toggled to "CV," the NAND circuit is powered directly by the incoming voltage. Beyond controlling pitch, the incoming CV can also be used to create lofi rhythmic effects.

Dial in your drone with the Nandamonium!

Features:

Six tunable square wave oscillators and two level controls
Delay rate, mix, and feedback controls, with touch control over the rate and mix
Warp switch: adds a bright, "small" speaker tone
Blast switch: introduces max feedback into the circuit momentarily, great for adding rhythm and strange sounds
Two SAG CV inputs, one per NAND synth
CV/On Switch allows selection of CV control or internal power control (1 switch per NAND synth)
3.5mm jacks
Specifications:
Module width: 38HP
Module depth: 22mm
+12V current draw: 15mA"

Ess and the Digitone - King of FM! #TSR19


Published on Apr 1, 2019 Gaz Williams

"I am a self confessed Elektron nut and it was my great pleasure to chat with Ess from Elektron about the Digitone FM synthesizer. Although not new (it was released last year), I felt that the way the Digitone offers a fresh look at FM it deserved another look. Ess also makes superb music that reminds me of the early 90s electronic music scene I was part of.

This video is from Thomann's fabulous Synth Reactor event that I took part in.

Ess's music can be found here: https://auvrel.bandcamp.com"

SYNTHPLEX Pics - Minimoog Prototypes & Hybrid System with 8 SEMs, Minimoog & Taurus Pedals


A few pics and short summary in via an anonymous reader.

"So I went to Synthplex on a complete whim this year. I originally wasn't going to go but one of my coworkers convinced me to check it out. I'm very glad that I did!

I arrived just in time for the BT keynote, which is where my friend was waiting for me. I had no problems with getting a seat right near the front. The talk was very nice, and mostly focused on the subject of appreciating synthesizers as instruments, as opposed to using them as preset banks.

Afterwards we headed to the popup synth museum, which was adjacent to the halls which held the keynotes. The museum was a bit out of the way and so it wasn't too busy and it was relatively easy to get in front of a synth. In terms of keyboards, it was my first time with a CS-80, MemoryMoog, and Jupiter 4. I really liked all of them! The Jupiter 8 which they had was also very nice.

The one surprise for me was the EML Electrocomp 101. Wow that thing is fun! Too bad that used prices on them are a bit out of control at the moment :-\

After that we finally made our way to the vendors halls. You've seen the video by now [see here], but there was a guy there with some very early Moog prototypes. Holy cow, I never expected to see those there.

Other highlights were the Waldorf Kyra at the Waldorf booth, which now had quite a few presets added to it, and a Moog 3p at the Noisebug booth. The latter, I would totally buy in a heartbeat if I could. What an inspiring beast. I might take a trip out to Noisebug to check it out. I was a bit disappointed/surprised that Moog didn't have a booth though. I was looking forward to finally trying out the Moog One in person.

Finally, the single coolest thing that I saw was this beast at the Rosen Sound booth.

8 voices of Oberheim SEM, plus a built in MiniMoog Model D, and Taurus pedals. Wow what a sound. After playing that thing and the CS-80 in the same day, I would take an Oberheim 8 voice over the CS-80. It makes me more than a little sad that Tom Oberheim wasn't able to get his 4 voice synth out the door.

Overall, I'm super glad that I went, and being there put me in a better mood in regards to my music hobby. I actually feel like making music again. I'm already looking forward to next year's event and am planning on spending more time there, especially in regards to the keynote speakers and concerts. It might be something that you would enjoy as well :D"


Update: image of Rush's Geddy Lee with the system sent my way via @analogsteve. I thought that looked familiar. Here's another image of the system with the top SEM section separated.

Update2 via @Chris_Randall of Audio Damage: "It wasn’t the real one. It is a “cover version” he made. Virtually identical, though."
