The Mind-Blowing EMS VCS3 Sequence in Pink Floyd's On The Run


video upload by Andy Whitmore

"Unlocking the Magic: Synthi AKS Sequence in Pink Floyd's On The Run

Demo of a wide range of sounds & special FX of the VCS3 - & how to program them - explained by Andy Whitmore at Greystoke Studio.

The VCS 3 (or VCS3; an initialism for Voltage Controlled Studio, version) is a portable analog synthesiser with a flexible semi-modular voice architecture, by Electronic Music Studios (London) Limited (EMS) in 1969.
This product was called various names by EMS. For example, the printed logo written to the front left of products are: "V.C.S. 3" or 'The Putney (VCS 3)' on the earlier version, then "The Synthi (VCS 3) II" on the later version (Synthi VCS 3 II).

The VCS 3's basic design was reused by EMS in many other of their own products, most notably in the EMS Synthi 100 (1971), and the Synthi A (1971) and AKS (1972) (essentially a VCS 3 housed in a plastic briefcase). The AKS also has a sequencer built into the keyboard in the lid.

VCS3 - as used by
BBC Radiophonic Workshop
Brian Eno
Chemical Brothers
Hawkwind
David Bowie
Flood
Ice-T
Jean-Michel Jarre
John Paul Jones - Led Zeppelin

ElectroComp EML 100 Vintage Analog Modular Synthesizer in Blue

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this auction

"Rare vintage ElectroComp EML-100 Analog Modular Synthesizer, dating back to the early 1970s. This synth, with its unique blue color, is a piece of electronic music history. Please note that this instrument is being sold as is, with some functional considerations.

Condition: Considering its age, this synth is in good physical shape, showcasing the enduring quality of its construction.

Functionality:

Oscillator 3 (Osc 3) always produces sound and is in working condition.
Amp Shaper's output occasionally works as expected after the synth has been powered on for approximately 15 minutes. While the synth does produce sound from Osc 3, it's evident that some repair work is needed to fully restore its functionality."

"This is Serial number 002... Absolute mint condition, should be marked as brand new or open box. I opened it up and have only had a few hours on it but it's amazingly deep and supposedly the most accurate recreation of the ARP 2600 ever made."

The Pill - Ducking Effect Pedal

The Pill - Ducking Effect Pedal from The Pill Pedal on Vimeo.

The Pill has been featured in a number of posts featuring 2-Minute Warning. If you were curious what exactly it did, here you go.

The Pill Pedal - Controls: Audio Demo from The Pill Pedal on Vimeo.



"The Pill is the first of its kind Ducking Effect Pedal. It brings a music production effect to the live stage.

All it does is ducking. It's its core purpose. Analog, true bypass and handmade in Europe. It's made by a musician, for musicians.

Release. Depth. Trigger. No need for more.

Release: Sets the duration of the ducking. From short to long.
Depth: Sets the ducking volume level. From subtle to complete silence.
Trigger: Sets the sensibility (gain) of the trigger input. Quickly adjusted to fit the input source."

Overdrive 💥 Cinematic Ambient Jam (Roland JD08 + Pill Pedal // JU06A // Arturia Keystep Pro)


video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"WIth this 2nd video featuring the Roland JD-08 synth, I wanted to make a more cinematic-like jam! The Keystep Pro is sequencing both synths featured here: the JD-08 (128-voice, 2-part digital synth) and the JU-06A (4-voice digital synth, modelling the analog JUNO-60 and JUNO-106).

The JD-08 is going through the Pill Pedal (ducking pedal) which is being triggered by a sequence coming from Track1 (Keystep Pro).

In order to add some movement to the JD-08, I'm also playing live with its "PITCH FINE" parameter on the transitions. On the outro, I also enabled the "famous" distortion of the JD-08 on its PAD sound 😉

- Roland JU-06A : Bass
- Arturia Keystep Pro: sequencer"
