"Kiwisix upgrade with new batter, power cord, cpu and midi in-midi out. 1981 analog goodness! Chorus, phaser and ensemble strings effects. Slight damage to wood veneer on one corner. Good playing condition. See kiwisix manual for all the cpu functions. 1000 plus editable tones, kiwisix mod sequencer mode. FYI Arpeggio latch function is modified for use as sequencer mode, in other words you have to hold your hand on the arpeggio chords the entire time, no arp hold with kiwi mod unless it's a buried function that I have not found."
"Crumar Bit One Vintage Analog synth, classic Italian sounds.
This is a beast that has been well looked after and in very good condition for the year. I have had it for approx 10 years and now sadly selling. Decided to sell and have had it serviced at Synth Prof in Norfolk where it is currently so I know it is all working as it should, and will send it from direct to you from there. This has been priced at £70 to include full insurance.
"IN THIS VIDEO THERE ARE A LOT OF LOUD BASS AND HIGH FREQUENCIES. PLEASE MIND YOU EARS AND LOUDSPEAKERS!!!!!
Hope you enjoy my video of this fantastic (reborn) sound generator synthetizer that i do love.
Would many, many thanks to Korg/Arp, AlgamEko (specially Anna) and Magazzino Musicale Merula (Brà Italy) for let me a lucky and happy man.
"Join us for another episode of "Office Hours," our experimental live-patching live-stream where we bring the synths and you tell us what to patch in the chat!"
"A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by the anticipation of the new (school) year. I wanted to do one last huge setup, with a lot of different gear, before the semester starts and I get busy. I was super happy with where this one went.
At the heart of it is the Arturia Keystep Pro, which is sequencing four melodic lines (bass on ARP Odyssey, pads on SH-01a, melodic arp on Subharmonicon, and granular melody on Clouds), while also providing clock for the non-MIDI DFAMs. Despite the huge assortment of gear on the table, this one just worked for me because the instruments each have a really beautiful baseline sound.
Arturia Keystep Pro — Sequencing and clock
Korg ARP Odyssey into Empress Echosystem — Bass
Roland SH-01a into Strymon Ola into Meris Ottobit Jr. — Pad
Moog Subharmonicon into Meris Polymoon — Arp melody thing
Mutable Instruments Clouds into Strymon Magneto — Granular melody
Moog DFAM into Empress Multidrive into Union Tube & Transistor Lab — Kick and snare
Moog DFAM into Erica Synths & Ninja Tune Zen Delay — Hi hats and noise weirdness
Written and recorded in a 48-hour period and uploaded as is, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.
"last week I went to see the nervous squirrel to pick up an item for the museum of everything else. the video on that item is coming out this weekend! but we also messed with his synth quite a lot! this video is after we played around for the whole day and shot this video : [posted here]
The support on Patreon will be funding the opening of the museum in a couple of months! aswell as the continued machines and videos. thanks very much for the support."
"Minimal Violence are Ash Luk and Lida P, a Vancouver duo who make raw, hardware-based techno with shades of industrial and ’90s trance. Since emerging in 2015 they’ve appeared on labels such as Technicolour, Lobster Theremin and Berlin institution Tresor, which this year released the first in a three-part EP series.
On this episode of Patch Notes, Ash offers an early preview of Minimal Violence’s new live direction with a solo live set from their studio. 'What I’m using here is mostly what we would use for our live set with a few additions,' Ash says.
'MPC1000 at the helm of everything, sequencing the kick, breaks, synths and other sounds. The MPC is the key point of construction for moving from track to track in the set, it allows for the flexibility of bringing different parts in and out but still provides some structure as to different pre-selected segments available per section.
'The 707, 606 and 909 are all synced via the MPC but programmed externally so allow for some more fluidity throughout the live sets. The Moog DFAM is a new addition to add more texture to employ in parts to flow when moving from track to track. Additionally the DFAM is sending out a VCA to the modular to rhythmically change the texture and pan of the effects.
'For external effects we have our modular setup on one send and the OTO BIM delay on the other. We’re only starting to tap into the world of modular I but want to continue integrating it into the live setup, the focus is on employing the modular setup to process external signals to create and modulate otherwise unimaginable effects that bring in their own creative flow to the mix.
Phase Two of their three-EP series is planned to drop before the end of year on Tresor. Phase One is available now and you can find the rest of their catalogue on Bandcamp.
