"First of all, it can sound like them all, an ARP 2600 or a Minimoog or a Roland Jupiter. This synth is polyphonic and multitimbral, it has a very flexible filter, LFO and Envelope control, portamento/legato, a great arpeggiator and analog-like dedicated knobs for quick and easy synthesizing! Everything is MIDI'd up and controllable, there's a great pitch bender and a 'morphing' feature."
"Short demonstration of a user defined audio analysis played from a Continuum on an Onde from La Voix du Luthier (audio recording: you can hear the friction noise on the Continuum surface ;-) ).
The original audio sample that was analyzed was kindly provided by Deep Forest (can you guess what song it is coming from ?). It was analyzed with the tools we are currently working on at Haken Audio (demonstrated at last Superbooth) and played realtime as an additive set by the Eagan Matrix (synth engine of the Continuum, also shared with Expressive-E Osmose). Only a very small part of the analysis is used here.
The left hand (that you barely can see) is on an Osmose...
"I have been wanting to recreate this beautiful Euro-Disco music for a long time and I finally managed to make it come true!! I loved 'Love Spy' of 1986 ever since I heard it for the first time (along with other great Mike Mareen songs from the 80s like 'Agent Of Liberty' and 'Dancing in the Dark', but also the 70s). Check out his official channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGpnwyllnz10CAwVbWBku9g
As is often the case, for many songs/soundtracks there is no information available on what the composers used to create these music. It is not the first time that I have relied on intuition, experience and in particular my ear to try to understand with what and how to recreate all the sounds of this track. I worked hard on each sound to try and make my version as authentic as possible. In the end I was very happy with the final result and I hope you enjoy watching this video :)
You can hear the sound of the CS1x (preset 105_Jupiter) at minute 0:15 and at minute 0:48.
Unfortunately there is no official video of the 1986 song (there is only the one created for the version "Love Spy - Reloaded 2004"), but a user here on YouTube uploaded the video with the original track of "Love Spy" and the result is great!! A little curiosity: in the video you can see 2 fantastic synths... a Roland JP-8000 and a Yamaha CS6x."
"Don't know if anyone is still interested in these Nymphes MPE explorations with the Linnstrument. Here's yet another with the Hologram Microcosm.
Overall I am very impressed by how big the Nymphes sounds when compared to other six voice polysynths. Makes me wonder a bit if I overestimate the importance of oscillator per voice.
"It is one of the greatest innovations in music history, and it came from Sydney, Australia.
The story of the Fairlight CMI's creation, its cultural impact and ultimate demise is told via exclusive interviews with both Fairlight co-founders Kim Ryrie and Peter Vogel as well as Fairlight engineer Peter Wielk and Professor Samantha Bennett of the ANU School of Music.
This video was produced by Tom Compagnoni for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
"DRONE is a modular 4 voices drone synthesizer using Teensy 4.0. I have been working on the v2 that is fully Eurorack compatible for a while and this is what I have now...
"Original vintage Pro-One in absolutely amazing condition. Works perfectly.
The Pro-1 serial number is 2645, all models before 1500 have a power supply problem, and all numbers after 8500 do not have the correct J-wire keypad. This one is therefore perfect.
Delivered in its original box!
Some modifications made by Mécanik Synthétik (Mtl) in March 2021:
- CPU upgraded with the TURBO CPU of 'Music Technologies Group,' which allows having in particular for the arpeggiator to have sequences up to 256 steps. Also used to retain sequences in memory.
- Midified with the Midi kit from 'Music Technologies Group.'"
