"I've been waiting 50 years to experience analog synthesizers responding intuitively and immediately to pitch, timbre and volume changes from the slightest movements of my fingers on a keyboard! In this video, you'll see and hear unprecedented control of one of the most extreme patches I've ever made. It incudes (4) Vintage ARP 2600's synthesizers and (1) Vintage 1969 Moog IIIc modular synthesizer playing all at once in unison mode or where each modular synth is playing a separate voice in the chord. I've never heard my favorite all-time analog synths sounding so musical, so different and just so good!
To accomplish this task, we are using 5 channels of Haken Audio CVC (Control Voltage Converter) to receive MPE messages from an Expressive E Osmose and also from a Haken Audio Continuum. These state of the art MIDI controllers are able to understand the players most subtle finger movements and immediately translate those messages to the CVC. Without any perceivable latency, the CVC can then send 4 independent control voltages to alter any parameter in real-time on any one of the synths being used as a voice.
My special guest, Osmose and Continuum expert performer Josh Madoff demonstrates all the features on both of these keyboards by playing musical examples. I'll be explaining what's going on, playing some duets with Josh and also providing an in-depth breakdown of the patches on each synth. I'm optimistic that we'l be seeing controllers n the near future delivering higher and higher levels of artistic experiences for performers.

I Heart Vocoders! So I thought I'd try putting the @ArturiaOfficialMicrofreak's Vocoder thru the @teenageengineeringEP-133 K.O. II Sampler Composer. I sampled two parts of the Vocoder into the K.O. II beforehand, and then did the live Vocoding as you see in the video (though the live Vocoding was a bit too hot.) A super fun minimal setup!"
"Like most people, I've always wanted to own an original Roland TR-808 but it's always been the wrong price or the wrong time or both. Earlier this year my time finally came.
I wanted to make a video showing why it's still a very relevant and useful instrument in a modern studio and that it's not just purely about nostalgia, whilst that obviously plays a part!

"Previous owner mentions it was serviced and recapped. We noticed the glass on the screen appears to be a little loose but this does not effect operation. Otherwise it's tested and fully functional. Screen is bright and easy to read. This one has Curtis CEM 3389 which would make it a Rev A (as opposed to a later Rev B version with Curtis CEM 3387 chips). Some say the Rev A is the better sounding version. Classic Waldorf rack synthesizer."
"The German-made Hartmann Neuron is a polyphonic synthesizer that broke new ground using a new form of synthesis and sound-modeling they say was based on technology found in neural networks. What the Neuron actually does is it analyzes audio files (samples) and creates digital computer models of these sounds which can then be re-synthesized and processed using the extensive amount of on-board data-wheels and joysticks with control of more 'musical' sonic aspects such as instrument shape, size and acoustic behavior. The joysticks allow for real-time tweaking of up to three parameters at once - 3D modeling in a true 5.1 surround sound environment."
"The synth was brought back to 100% operating condition. The only issue at the
time and which still exists is a couple of segments of the display not
illuminating, however it is still fully legible."
