"Monophonic, made in Japan. Serial #131712. Measures 20"x12"x10". See images for all features. This auction includes the keyboard, 8 short patch cables, and some literature I downloaded from the internet a few years ago with patch settings.
32 full size-keys, control wheel for modulation or pitch), and modulation button below control wheel.
Functionally excellent. Cosmetically very good with paint scratch on top surface. I bought it used in 2011, and have used it very little in my smoke-free studio. I tested all its functions this week in order to write an accurate description for this ad. Note that the control wheel requires included cable patching from Control Wheel out to VCO Frequency to function,
Fully tested. All functions work well. All knobs, buttons, sliders, etc. work smoothly. Keys are even and smooth. Manual is in very good condition. Images are of the actual auction item."
::ABOUT ?* is almost the same as the Zachtekind & ?Kind. A walkman with extension circuit that is powered by the walkman itself, controlling the Walkmans playback speed with buttons linked to the potmeters next to them. It is a simple device that makes it possible to playback tape in very slow speed and switch between selected speeds, intuitive and playful. it is stereo. Has a build in radio (AM/FM, no extra controls over this radio are added).
::Audio/CV - input cv in for playback speed control -5v to +10v (example: 0v = low pitch, 5v is high pitch, so it is in reverse from normal). - amount of CV can be adjusted with a potmeter. - output audio out from walkman.
::Controls: - 5x pot for playback speed per push button momentary switch. - 1x ON/OFF toggle switch for 1st playback speed pot switch override.
::Power: - 2x AA battery, The range of the speed control pots is different when powered from a battery.
"This colorful device is an updated version of the nice little velocity sequencer originally included in LDM Design’s popular Chance 10 pack. reVel expands the idea to include a unique duration based mode and expanded functionality such as individual randomization per step.
With Sequencer mode, you set a fixed sequence of values up to 32 steps long, and each note will take the velocity level of each proceeding step in the sequence.
Using this mode you can add randomization amounts per individual step to create more variation in the output. However, if your sequence of notes in Live’s piano roll, or live incoming midi, varies in the distribution of notes in any section of time, the sequence of velocity values will fall out of step with the notes coming through.
You may want this as a creative way to make differing patterns, yet you may also want a specific flow of velocity values in each section of time. This is where the Function mode comes in!
With the unique function mode, you can set the flow of values over a specific number of beats, and then however many notes come through in each section, it will retain the flow of velocity values over time. Now we can get a specific groove and let the notes flow freely.
In function mode we get a global randomization amount which will define a maximum amount of randomization for any note that comes through."
"Today I experimented with SONICWARE's own sound engine, CUSTOM OSC.
The CUSTOM OSC engine can play sounds while switching between two different waveforms at arbitrary period.
For example, it is easy to "switch between a sine wave and a square wave every 1.5 cycles," and the unique "undulation" and "overtone" sound is interesting.
You can also adjust the DUTY of the waveform.
As is common with all ELZ_1 play engines, you can control the synth engine parameters with LFO and ENVELOPE.
In the case of CUSTOM OSC, you can experiment with a variety of sounds by modulating the switching cycle between two waveforms, waveform type, DUTY, PITCH, and more.
In today's experiment, I created a sound that would be suitable for nostalgic, chill music, chiptune, and dance music.
Depending on the settings, it may be suitable for various genres of music. Please take a look.
"We were super excited to receive this unicorn, vintage groove box - the machine that was the very last breath of the Elgam in 1982 - it was shipped out as the company folded.
The Elgam Crazy Band 48 was the follow up to the now sought-after Elgam Carousel and it shares some of its functions but not any of it's components, schematics or architecture.
The unit was well packed in a sturdy box but only emit a loud hiss and one single note on arrival.
Yep - this is often the reality of unboxing vintage gear.
This machine is now in the shop for repairs but it's a long journey to get it back up and running - if it ever will.
The music in the background is from a similar device we demo:ed in an earlier video : the Godwin Drummaker 45."
Sitting in front of my newly acquired S6, and wow! U.D.O have nailed it with this! I am as usual, just becoming familiar with the instrument, and so far Im loving the sound of it. Undoubtably is going to be fantastic for binaural pads etc, but the envelopes are super snappy and the drive on the filter gives it some real grunt!
I just thought I'd share this patch I created this afternoon. I'm going to have fun with this one :) -
"Welcome to the soundset for a semi-modular system Moog Sound Studio: DFAM + Mother-32. 'DM Generative' is a collection of 25 patches. This genre of sound design is very popular inside modular culture, and Moog Sound Studio suggests a good set of features to enter this club. Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo break, pattern uniqueness, short and long sounds alternation, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and fx-like tones, freaky splashes during a sequence - all these things are included in the soundset.
That was a hard work. Each patch took me up to 2 hours. I tried to find interesting combinations of settings and patching. Hope you will enjoy the results.
Generative timbre may be a good addition to (or a lead part of) ambient or techno tracks, jams and performances. You may also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice it to one-shots or make loops - you’ll get a unique material for further processing.
The main point of the soundset is the high level of interconnection. In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are soldered and can’t exist separately: 🔸 they modulate each other with LFO and Envelopes 🔸 a sequence from one synth change parameters on the other one 🔸 gates and triggers interact to break predictable patterns 🔸 audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies/intervals or - crazy experimental inharmonic tones 🔸 or they may be used just as audio sources sent to the other synth for processing with its different filter and envelope, giving them a 'second life’.
The soundset is presented in PDF format. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn a lot about the synths and discover their true depth.
To recreate these patches, you need up to 15 patch cords.
There are audio examples of all patches inside the folder with the soundset. Audio examples for a patch are presented in three variants: DFAM only, M32 only, and both together.
The patches don't include Mother-32 patterns.
For the video demo, I added delay and reverb to the synths and background pads to put the timbres into a musical context.
