EG&G 124A - from lab instrument to analog synthesizer

Published on Nov 11, 2019 HAINBACH

"In which I demonstrate the awesome sound power that is the EG&G PARC 124A lock-in amplifier when used for #willitmusic. This research instrument is a crown jewel of making music with test equipment, as it has all the parts that make an analog synth - VCA, multimode filter, oscillator. I have covered lock-in amplifiers before, but this one truly is the best so far. It can do tiny microsounds, glassy pings, throbbing basslines and process a TR-606 into a monster.

Ratcheting the Easel Sequencer

Published on Nov 11, 2019 UncertainMusicCorps

"A short explanation of how to ratchet the Easel sequencer with the help of the 208 Toolbox. (It *should* also work with the VSTi version using the Left Hand modulation source to replace the Envelope generator if you add an appropriate cycle delay value but as I don't have the VSTi that's just a guess).

Using the pulser to trigger an envelope that is looping at a different rate to that of the pulser gives an envelope with a kind of phase shifted trigger as the frequencies of the pulser and the looping envelope beat against each other. I then use that to control the gate of the complex oscillator.

I can then riff over the sequence using the modulation oscillator by controlling its gate with the pressure out from the 218.

It's kind of possible to do something similar on an unexpanded Easel using the 218 preset pads to double the pulser rate but its hard to set up, doesn't sync properly and is limited in scope to the point of not really being worth the effort. There's a bad proof of concept video here if you have 40 seconds to waste.":

Elektron Analog Heat - USB Class Compliant Audio Walkthrough

Published on Nov 10, 2019 tubesockor

"The Elektron Analog Heat recently got a firmware update (1.20) which enables USB Class Compliant Audio. This means the Heat can be used as an audio insert to an iPhone, let an iPad run audio plugins pre or post the Heat's own processing, be a sound card to a computer or just allow a live recording of the audio coming out of it into a smartphone.

This video covers a walkthrough of the different configurations, with some simple examples of each."

Enjoy and thanks for looking."

Korg Mono/Poly MP-4 Vintage Analog Synthesizer w/ Signed Gig Bag

"1980's Korg Mono/Poly MP-4 synthesizer in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The Mono/Poly is a 44 key "mono-polyphonic" analog synthesizer manufactured by Korg from 1981 to 1984. This model is the sister synthesizer to the Korg Polysix, with four highly stable voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), a 4-pole, self-oscillating low pass filter (LPF), several modulation capabilities and pseudo-polyphony (paraphony) functionality.

The four VCO's can be shared in four-voice Polyphonic mode, or linked in Unison for a versatile monophonic lead. Each VCO has its own level, tune, and waveform type control. Waveforms include triangle, sawtooth, and variable pulse wave. It has a great VCF (filter) section as well as two envelope generators (one for the oscillators and one for the filter), and there are also two individual LFO's which can be used to modulate the Pulse Width, Envelope and Arpeggiator independently.

A very flexible and fun synthesizer, other cool tricks up its sleeve include chord memory and an effects mode in which oscillators have a variety of ways to be synced. The built-in arpeggiator and sequencer can run all 4 VCO's at a time or cycle through each voice per note! There's also portamento, CV/Gate, VCF and VCO mod inputs, a white noise generator, and the pitch/mod wheels can be assigned to control LFO, pitch, or the filter.

This synth was imported direct from Tokyo, and as such runs at 100v. All functions are stable and functioning as intended on USA power, 120v "on paper," but typically ranging between 110-120v.

Cosmetically, this synthesizer is very clean, with only light scuffs on the wood framing the keyboard. All original knobs are intact as are the four rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure. The original soft Korg-branded green carry case is included, along with some text on the exterior referencing the band Earthshaker."
