Have fun with Keyboards!"
Rare ARP 2600 Blue Marvin Discovery w/ Ryan Hawkins & Rob Rosen

"Join Ryan Hawkins and me for an in-depth look at an extremely rare ARP 2600 called the "Blue Marvin". It was the first ARP 2600 prototype created in 1971 before the later gray faced Tonus versions of the instrument were made for sale to the public. There are a lot of quirky physical aspects to this beauty since it was never really completed for final production, but in spite of that, it sounds magnificent! In particular, there is a type of harmonic distortion that it delivers only to be found on the original R.A. Moog modular synths from the late 1960's through the early 1970's.
You'll also hear the back story about how it was found in a post office, changed hands and then how it was restored by Ryan. We'll explore the front panel by comparing it to the first production Tonus model and also give you a Hands-on demonstration of the compelling sounds that it delivers. All music in this video is composed and performed by Ryan.

Rendez-Vous (J. M. Jarre) on Novation Nova Live!
video upload by yarosystems
"I am playing this great piece by master Jarre in a different way. The Novation Nova, a portal to sonic realms, becomes my instrument of choice, orchestrating a captivating composition using 5 tracks and 4 arpeggiators - all performed live. Almost a whole song on 1 virtual analog sythesizer. How mind-blowing is that!"
Impro #1 on Ernst Krenek's Buchla 100
video upload by JesterN
"These days I have the honour to play one of the earliest Buchla 100 synthesizer. Dating from 1967 (number 12 in the books) and owned by Austrian composer Ernst Krenek, this beautiful instrument is located in Krems an Donau, Austria. This is an excerpt of an impro working on gamelan repetitions that is going to be released on a future album. Thanks to the Ernst Krenek Institut / AIR Residency program.

This is a bit of an odd post. I spotted Anabrid's Analog Thing Analog Computer on Reverb and was curious what it was, as it has not been featured on the site before. Below you'll find some info from Anabrid along with a user video featuring some audio.

Little Impro with THAT by Analog Thing
video upload by JesterN
"Playing THAT:: Bernd Ulmann's beautiful analog computer. This is Sprott SQM Model an example of a simple three-dimensional chaotic flow with a quadratic nonlinearity. The model consists of three coupled differential equations. Translating and solving equations through circuits is feels very organic. I was used to do this on paper, and had found it quite simplistic to approximate it digitally, just using brute force computer iterations."

THE ANALOG THING (THAT) is a high-quality, low-cost, open-source, and not-for-profit cutting-edge analog computer.
THAT allows modeling dynamic systems with great speed, parallelism, and energy efficiency. Its use is intuitively interactive, experimental, and visual. It bridges the gap between hands-on practice and mathematical theory, integrating naturally with design and engineering practices such as speculative trial-and-error exploration and the use of scale models.
Dynamic system modeling on THAT can serve a variety of valuable purposes. It may help understand what is (models of), or it may help bring about what should be (models for). It may be used to explain in educational settings, to imitate in gaming, to predict in the natural sciences, to control in engineering, or it may be pursued for the pure joy of it!
A DIFFERENT PARADIGM
Analog computing is one of three major computational paradigms (analog, digital and quantum). As digital computing approaches the limit of Moore's Law, analog computing offers a strategy to diversify today's digital monoculture. Analog computing is:
ideally suited for dynamic systems modeling
ideally suited for neuromorphic AI applications
significantly more energy-efficient than digital computing
inherently safer than digital computing in the face of cyber threats
THE ANALOG THING is designed to allow an extensive range of analog computing applications with a small set of calculating elements.
5 INTEGRATORS
Circuits that perform integration over time.
4 SUMMERS
Circuits that add inputs continously.
2 COMPARATORS
Circuits that compare inputs to support conditional functions.
MASTER / MINION PORTS
Interfaces that allow daisy-chaining mutiple THATs to create arbitrarily large programs.
8 COEFFICIENT POTENTIOMETERS
Rotary knobs to provide user-defined inputs.
2 MULTIPLIERS
Circuits that multiply inputs continously.
PANEL METER
A digital panel meter for precision measurements of values and timing.
HYBRID PORT
An interface for controlling THAT digitally to develop analog-digital hybrid programs.
DYNAMIC SYSTEMS MODELING
With THE ANALOG THING, you can model dynamic systems including:
market economies
the spread and control of diseases
population dynamics
chemical reactions
mechanical systems
a variety of mathematical attractors
COLLATERAL LEARNING
As collateral learning benefits, THAT offers introductions to:
CALCULUS
Inseparably linked with rates of change and the accumulation of quantities, analog computing offers a practical approach to differential and integral calculus.
ANALOG CIRCUITS
With computing elements built around operational amplifiers, analog computing enables users to gain a hands-on understanding of analog circuits.
CONTROL ENGINEERING
Applicable in adaptive control systems, analog computing offers a practical introduction to control engineering.
