Check it out: 1980 Alpha Syntauri Computer Music System | Synth History


video upload by MR TUNA Music

"My friends, I present to you the complete 'alphaSyntauri' (Alpha Syntauri) Computer Music System circa 1980. I finally got it all set up and (mostly) functioning after buying this from a nice old lady in town. The old Apple II clone had a shot power supply so I found a new one and we're off to the races!!

This is a not-so-quick demo of some of the features I was able to coax into functioning, and a few sounds that came standard with this cool vintage computer music system."

Maths Sample & Hold patches!


video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Maths is famously patch-programmable, but can it act as a Sample & Hold? Let's find out!

Hi! It's Pete from the Make Noise Instagram channel, guest-hosting on YouTube. This video walks through two S&H-like Maths patches: the classic Arcade Trill (a stepped modulation patch created by Tony Rolando, as found in the Maths manual) and a new one called 'Hang Function,' which riffs on some of the ideas from Tony's Arcade Trill and takes them in a more explicitly 'S&H/T&H' direction.

I encourage you to patch along with this video and to use these ideas as starting-points in your own experiments. Thanks and happy patching!

Hang Function: 06:00

The New Wave Synthesizer - Roland Jupiter-4

The Jupiter-4 came out in 1978 and was one of the first polyphonic synthesizers along with the Prophet 5 and the OB-X. Being affordable, he was often found on the coming New Wave music. Human League, Depeche Mode, Heaven 17, Duran Duran, Simple Minds and many other groups used the synthesizer. The sound is very unique and stands out from the big brothers. Wilder, louder, darker. I prefer this sound character over the others.

The demo track shows a typical drummachine triggered bass with some sounds of the JP-4
all synthesizer sounds: Roland Jupiter-4 (1978)
drums: LinnDrum (1982)
recording: multi-track without MIDI, played by hand"

"Only cosmetic issue is a small pin hole (pictured) on the upper right side of the control panel from an old Devo pin.

Included is an excellent gator hardcase made for a mixer but it fits the Minimoog really well with room for a power supply and expression pedal. And it’s got wheels!

Cat not included."
