Synth Wizards Interviews: Michael Boddicker

Published on Dec 15, 2019 Syntaur

"Michael Boddicker has performed and composed on an insane number of hit records, television shows, and feature films, from Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' to 'Fatal Attraction'. He graciously spent an afternoon showing us his scoring studio, his amazing modular synths, and even his attic."

"Just in the modular department, we saw during our interview his Moog System 55, Moog Model 15, e-mu Modular, Buchla modular, and I think he also had a Serge tucked away. We saw literally thousands of pieces of gear while strolling through his attic. He's very passionate about music and synths, and has had an amazing career putting all of this stuff to work. It was a very fun interview.'

"This is a little Sunday morning jam with my modular synthesizer and the Roland Juno Gi keyboard. Some simple percussive sounds and some drones can add up to something really moody."

Published on Dec 15, 2019 itijik

"Nothing better than being inspired by your past self. Poking around my ancient XP laptop running Ableton Live 7 and I found this nice "floating keys" jam. It's totally rough, but I love it so much I'm just letting it play out. Feeling it.

"Yep - you read that right. Knobs and sliders and LFOs and envelopes and effects all wrapped up in a nice chunk of real hardware.

Ever had a need for that nice cloud of sound swirling around you? The GR-1 delivers. Not only do you control the size and number (and shape) of the grains, you can determine how widely they are spread around the stereo field.

Now with the latest OS installed, you can easily have a multi-timbral GR-1 (up to 4 parts) doing all kinds of different things all under the same nice set of hardware controls.

This particular unit was purchased new from the most recent batch, used *very* briefly, and is now up for sale. A printed manual (latest (2.12) version) is also included, because those of us that buy hardware like to read printed manuals. We just do."

ARP PRO/DGX Monophonic Analog Lead Synthesizer SN 0396

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Robbery Assault And Battery Bridge - keys only (rehearsal)

Published on Dec 1, 2019 Brian Holt

"Brian Holt demonstrates the use of the ARP Pro DGX Version 1 Synthesizer in the bridge section of Genesis' "Robbery Assault and Battery". In the original recording Tony Banks used a Pro Soloist, which had the same sounds but rocker switches for the patch selections whereas the DGX has push-button type switches."

via this auction

"ARP PRO-DGX Monophonic Analog Lead Synthesizer in excellent condition.

Unit is in working order. Was recently serviced - had the bus bar cleaned and a general check over by Robert Rosen of Rosen Sound in Burbank, CA. All of the functions work, including the AT controller under the keyboard. Sounds amazing.

Here's a recent demo of me playing it: [above]"

test CRUMAR PERFORMER after repair-mod-midi and UNITRA RYTM16

"no fx"

Sounds like a drunken surreal version of "Take me out to the Ballgame". Posting this mainly for the UNITRA RYTM16, and it's from maker Alexey Taber. This is the first post to feature the UNITRA RYTM16. Not sure if it's related to the Eltra Unitra.

The Peeps Music Box / Handmade synthesizer.

Like a little mini wooden Buchla Music Easel. Also see the PEEPS / Handmade synthesizer.

The Peeps Music Box (Full turorial)

Published on Dec 15, 2019 suis-je fou

"The Peeps Music Box is a battery powered digital handmade synthesizer.

It’s a micro version of the «Buchla Music Easel», one of the best synthesizer ever made, designed by Don Buchla in 1972.

Some features were deleted but others were added. It is not a modular synthesizer like the original Buchla, but all the switch buttons act like pre-patched possibilities that I felt like the most interesting patchs to use with the original Music Easel.

The Peeps Music Box have all these functions :

DSI Prophet Rev 2 / Factory Presets - Bank 1 / Tillborg

Published on Dec 15, 2019 Tillborg

"Whenever I get a new synth I like to go through the factory sounds first. With that in mind I thought I would pick out a few favourites and do a little video to give an idea what somebody can expect right out of the box when getting the Prophet Rev 2 (8 voice).

All sounds are factory presets with no external effects or processing."
