"According to Roland serial # decoder UK, this was made March 1983. Just serviced this month by a well known bay area pro tech. New battery, clean internals, re-calibrated, cleaned switches and replaced few switches, reloaded original factory sounds. Works and sounds great"
"This Korg Trident MKII has been completely refurbished by a technician with the original battery repaired, and all main board electrolytic capacitors replaced. All knobs, buttons, and keys are working perfectly and all voices are tuned and calibrated.
This is one of the classic 2-oscillator golden age analog synthesizers that there is no comparison to, except other classics of the era. 16 total VCO's into SSM filters with lush BBD string ensemble and extra brass section, along with a beautiful flanger that can be applied to any section. The keyboard simply sounds majestic!"
"Using ROSSUM PANHARMONIUM as an FX unit with GIBSON LES PAUL SPECIAL 2001 creating stunning FX between strange reverb, harmonizer and dobro. Entering the modular by DOEPFER A-119 External In modified."
"4th in a series of simple live jams inspired by some of my favourite vintage sci-fi and horror from the cinema and TV. I thought it'd be a fun idea to see what I can do with a simple setup, perhaps ony 2 analog synth voices, and modest digital effects. These will be inspired by the lo-fi, low-budget synthesizer soundtracks of the 70's and early 80's - often very simple, spartan compositions, which is what made them special I think.
In this video I'm just experimenting with the Sample & Hold module whilst I learn how to use it. See the subtiltles for an explanation of what you can hear. The modules used were 3 AJH Synth VCO's, 2 VCA's, the Sonic XV and Gemini filters, the Entropic Doom noise module, Fixed Filter Bank FFB 914, Contour Generators, Dual LFO, Ring SM, Precision Voltages, and the Sample & Hold. A little reverb is added courtesy of Audio Damage's EOS2.
I have fond memories of the film 'Invaders from Mars' after seeing it multiple times as a child, and finding it pleasingly creepy (despite some of it seeming a bit silly), I loved the idea of aliens living under the sand pit at the end of my garden. So, I re-watched it recently, and decided to dedicate a spot to it among my 'fantasy soundtracks' series.
