"Odyssey ARP 2811 and Sequencer 1613 from 1977. Both are in museum cosmetic condition and work perfectly fine. They are sold together. Alan R. Pearlman is the other father of electronic music along with Robert Moog and Tom Oberheim. These are the precise instruments I recorded the Droids album Star Peace in 1978 with."
"The R-53 is directly derived from our legendary TM-1 device.
It uses a 12AF6/BD6 remote-cutoff pentode and a 12AV7 dual triode. Waveshaping is provided by a vacuum-tube "pulser" circuit that spits irregular pulses onto the input waveform. They synchronize erratically with the input pitch (if a waveform with sharp transitions is used). Combined with true vacuum-tube circuit distortion, this can provide a vast range of complex, aggressive distortion effects, utterly unique in the world.
A basic ring-modulation function is also available in the unit--applying a carrier pitch from an external oscillator to the screen grid of the pentode, this allows making inharmonic sum-and-difference pitch sound effects, with a unique vacuum tube pentode sound."

unfortunately, I did not have much spare time in the last year, so all of my ElectriXity projects had to wait in a line. Eventually, I have been able to finish this one, which is the first of a series of rhythmically orientated soundscapes made with patchblocks. Most of them derived from a patch which is based on prime numbers to avoid too much regularity in the rhythmic patterns. This is an edit made of two live jam takes, so please don't expect video and audio to be in sync at any given second ;-)
Wish you all the best for 2021 and stay healthy!!
Enjoy"

"I hereby declare against all common opinions that I love my Korg Volca Beats. I am not ashamed to admit it and so I want to express my gratitude and pay tribute to the many happy hours I have spent playing around and listening to my beloved drum machine. And yes, I also and especially adore the sound of its snare. Change my mind!"
"I'd like to wrap up a year of 153 videos with some highlights. I felt this year went by way too fast, but looking back on so many great moments of exploring modular gear it made me realize many of my favorite modules were released in 2021. If you're new to the channel, this recap may point you to videos you may like to watch. I have no idea what 2022 will bring but let's find out together!"
