"This Hammond Novachord has been in the family since the 1960’s when my grandparents bought it from an estate in Nyack NY. It’s been prominently displayed in the living room for just as long but last played in the early 90’s. I cannot attest to current functionality but believe it to be complete and will need minimal tlc to return it to its previous glory. Sold as-is, open to assist investigate as best of my ability."

"Roland's new MC-707 is a powerful groovebox. The MC-707 features 8 tracks that can each be full drum kits, a synthesizer or looper. The MC-707 can put together full tracks with its powerful sequencing and effects. To test out the sampler we decided to sample some of our own videos and a few others.
The MC-707 comes with 80 drum kits including the classic Roland TR machines. The synth engine has 64 voice polyphony with four oscillators per voice that feature both analog style waveforms and PCM samples.
"A semi-self-generating patch using a Moog Mother 32 and an Ultra Random Analog module sent through a Eventide Space hall reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on Reverse setting.
Finally, I have a dedicated random source! It's a bit of a game-changer when your music is based on random modulation... For this patch I went a bit overboard and simply connected every output of the URA to something on the M32, and 045//Extraterrestrials is the result - not quite melodic, not quite atonal, but something in between.
PATCH NOTES:
The sounds present in this patch are the M32 square wave providing tuned notes, clicks from a sub-audio LFO patched into the Ext Audio input, and odd tones from the filter resonance being driven into self-oscillation.
The M32 is triggered by random gates, which also clock one of the URA's sample & hold circuits. The filter cutoff and resonance, mix between the oscillator and a square LFO, LFO rate, and some Eventide Space parameters are all randomly modulated (the Space modulated directly from the URA). The M32 envelope is a very short pluck, and the LFO triangle wave is patched to the VCA CV input, providing wavering, uncertain volume modulation.
One channel of Maths is providing a constant voltage offset for one of the inputs of the URA, but the effect is subtle at best, and so this isn't necessary - the patch can be recreated without any noticeable difference by omitting it.
"Voltage controlled panning on this one is quite hard!
This version is uncut. It's the part of the session when I look for sounds that I prefer.
Next videos (part 02 and part 03) are the parts I typically publish after finding these sounds."

Eliane Radigue | Feedback Works 1969-1970 [2012, Full Album]
Video Description:
"Un día me encontré con esta obra casualmente se mimetizaba con el sonido ambiente, fue en una casa de playa , por lo que no era fácil oír por el intenso sonido del mar, estaba atenta, quería escuchar que era lo que realmente sonaba, y no lo encontraba, hasta que aparecen fantasmagóricamente las voces soprano, despacio, atrás de todo, incorporándose poco a poco sutilmente la encuentro reproduciéndose en un lector de cd , aparece mi amigo Gerardo Figueroa, y me presenta a Eliane Radigue, máxima exponente de la música electrónica desde los años en que compartía con Pierre Schaeffer. y Henry en los años 60.............. nunca mas pude encontrar este disco, hasta hoy....por eso lo comparto. tiene la simpleza y sutileza de mezclar los sonidos puros y perderse infinitamente en las islas resonantes..."
Googlish:
"One day I found this work coincidentally blending in with the ambient sound, it was in a beach house, so it was not easy to hear from the intense sound of the sea, I was attentive, I wanted to hear what it really sounded like, and I could not find it, until the soprano voices appear spookily, slowly, behind everything, gradually incorporating the encounter reproducing in a CD player, my friend Gerardo Figueroa appears, and introduces me to Eliane Radigue, the greatest exponent of music electronic since the years I shared with Pierre Schaeffer. and Henry in the 60s .............. I could never find this record, until today ... that's why I share it. the simplicity and subtlety of mixing pure sounds and getting lost infinitely in the resonant islands ... "
"I've had many inquires from patrons about having some Serge content . . . yay! Originally pre-released to patrons https://www.patreon.com/synthtodd I'm now going public :-)
So...here we go: This is the most simple, basic, no-frills Krell patch on the Serge system that I can devise. Hopefully it will serve as a catalyst for your creativity and imagination to take it deeper, morph it, modulate it and incorporate it with other modules, patches and sonic equations.
Of course, it can be ported over the eurorack. The usual suspects would be in a Makenoise system SSG to Wogglebug, DUSG to Maths, NTO to DPO and VCA to Optomix. Enjoy!"

"Record samples, slice them up on the fly, and weave them across time with other sample slices all while arpeggiating and looping them!
Distributor Rec is an improvement of the original Distributor patch. This patch has three main functions: 1. Records an audio sample to each key; 2. Slices up those samples and arpeggiates them; 3. Interweaves slices from one sample with other sample slices as you play keyboard (or the sequencer).

"Since the original battery is dead by now (it is soldered in, and so I could not easily replace it myself), the User patches from 000 to 199 have no patches loaded. You would have to replace the CR2032 battery to get the User patch locations to hold any patches you copy or load to that range after the unit is powered off. This should be done by an experienced service technician, or a capable hobbyist. I don't recommend doing this yourself if you are not experienced with electronic board soldering, since you don't want to take a chance on damaging the circuits. There are some internet postings showing a recommended installation of a new battery holder, one that will allow easy changes of the battery in the future.
The ROM chip in this unit is the last Oberheim factory version 1.11. Hobbyists will probably want to pull that chip and replace it with the 1.16 or 1.20 versions that you can find for sale here on Reverb. But the updates in these new ROM versions are primarily for improving the unit's real-time response to certain external sysex change requests. They do not affect the basic operation of the unit during live playing, as far as I know."
