"Excellent condition holy grail synth. All voices tune and everything works except the lowest C note won't sound, undoubtedly an aged contact not electronic issue. See pics for cosmetics. Sounds glorious and with the Kenton midi retrofit this is the best version of this synth outside of the $20k+ LAMM version. Don't be fooled thinking the plus is better, it is not .. the factory midi and sequencer on those overtaxed the z80 processor affecting the envelopes. The original MM with Kenton (this) will never have those issues. Includes light duty hard case..."
"Acoustic modelling synthesizer. Ahead of its time, and still a unique tool/instrument. Only 600 made. Includes manuals and reference guides. Check it out here and here"
"It's a secret. Don't tell anyone. But go buy an XpressO at DynaSample.com. You will be glad you did. And get a NuEVI or soon, the EWI/woodwind type version (the NuRAD)... info and no-pay wait list at TheNuEVI.com."
"More channeling Richard Pinhas than Robert Fripp this time around
I really ought to tidy up that pile of boxes - interestingly it's not rubbish it's all my nascent electronics hobby stuff - need to find it somewhere better to live AND I need to get around to building my 16n"
"Old school Sci-fi inspired jam using a Eurorack modular system including AJH Synth modules (see gear list) and 2 Arturia Keysteps. One Keystep is sending pitch to the XVCO, which is filtered by the Sonic XV, to create a continuous drone, but it is simultaneously transposing the other Keystep's sequencer (via Midi). This sequencer is is controlling the 3 AJH VCO's, which are sent to both the Ladder filter and Gemini on separate audio channels. The Gemini is being used as a stereo filter here, in Dual mode, both sides being modulated in opposition to create stereo movement. All 3 audio sources are then mixed in real time using AUM on the iPad.
I'm dedicating this to one of my childhood heroes who passed away this month - actor Paul Darrow, whose charismatic, witty, and vividly memorable portrayal of the character 'Avon' in an old UK sci-fi TV series called Blakes's 7 has stayed with me throughout my life. Ironically, I re-watched the entire series just recently. I like to think he escaped the final gun battle, and made it away on the Liberator (ship) to some distant refuge with a cargo-hold full of riches.
Gear used:
AJH Synth MiniMod system with 3 VCO's, 2 VCA's, Ring SM, Sonic XV, Ladder and Gemini filters, Dual Contour Generator, DH-ADSR (as an LFO). Frequency Central XVCO (drone) & Wave Runner (LFO).
Arturia Keystep x2.
Recorded into AUM on an iPad with EOS2 reverb. iConnectAUDIO4+ audio interface.
Eurorack cases made by me.
Filmed on a LUMIX GH4.
Next album: 'Live' single-take recordings, no overdubs, all analog instruments. Most tracks are based on past compositions, but re-recorded and re-imagined, as I've wanted to do so for a long time. Most tracks are complete, but I'm in no rush."
