Early Perfomance: Live Jam with Push 2 and Novation Launch Control XL

video upload by Avivie

"This live jam was recorded using Ableton Push 2 and the Novation Launch Control XL. It’s an earlier version of the track, before the synth layer you might’ve heard in my Shorts. Kept it simple here to focus on the groove and flow.🔥"

ALAN R. PEARLMAN FOUNDATION TEC TRACKS PANEL DISCUSSION AND BOOTH EVENTS AT THE 2025 WINTER NAMM SHOW

The Foundation promises an exciting event schedule in advance of Alan R. Pearlman’s centennial.

KINGSTON, NY, JANUARY 17, 2025– The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation has announced a series of exciting events during the 2025 Winter NAMM show, featuring a TEC Tracks session in conjunction with Korg, USA, featuring a distinguished panel of filmmakers, sound designers and composers discussing ARP's profound influence on movies, games and television. The session; Behind the Screen: ARP Synthesizers Impact on Sound Design in Film, TV, Gaming and More will take place on Thursday, January 23rd from 4PM to 5PM in Ballroom B at the Hilton Anaheim. Moderated by DJ Cherish the Luv, panelists include: Anthony Marinelli, Mark Isham, and Michael Stein.

In addition, the Foundation will be exhibiting at booth #10700, where we will have vintage instruments to play, host famed synthesist and composer Anthony Marinelli as well as other luminaries, and have short demos including a primer on integrating vintage (and modern) ARP synths into Eurorack modular systems.

ARP synthesizers have been woven into our storytelling tapestry for over half a century,” said Dina Pearlman-Ifil, ARP Foundation founder and daughter of Alan R. Pearlman. "We’re excited to inspire at NAMM with insights into my father’s genius from some very influential artists, and to go ‘behind the screens’ with the influential creators who put the endless potential of ARP synths into their work.”

The Foundation continues its work with contributors, collaborators, vendors, manufacturers, venues, and owners of rare original ARP synthesizers. Among their goals is the creation of installations where students can utilize ARP synthesizers as part of their music curriculum, and to explore the endless possibilities of electronic music.

And a message on the Los Angeles Wildfires:

"RESPONSE TO THE LOS ANGELES FIRES
The Alan R Pearlman Foundation acknowledges the horrors of the Los Angeles fires and would like to share a few words about this, and about our presence at the NAMM show.

We have been keeping close watch and staying in touch with our numerous friends, colleagues and family in Los Angeles. While it appears that Anaheim, the home of the NAMM Show, is safe from imminent danger, the impact that this tragedy inevitably has had, and will have, on our community of musicians, producers, film and recording professionals and friends cannot be downplayed.

Because Anaheim has been deemed as safe, we will be displaying at the NAMM Show in booth 10700. We hope to see many of you there and to learn more of how you’ve weathered these unprecedented circumstances, whether directly or through contact with those you know who have been impacted.

We salute the NAMM organization for their pledge of $50,000 to donate to the 2025 LA Wildfires Relieve Fund, and their encouragement of more contributions. (Read NAMM's President & CEO John Mlynczak statement.) We encourage everyone that is either going to NAMM or watching from afar to join us in supporting our music family who are being affected by these horrific events.

For those of our music family who are in need of gear from losses from the fires, please reach out to us and we will try to connect you with members of the industry who are helping musicians replenish their studios."

Secret weapons for live modular.

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Secret weapons for live modular.
ok ok, It's a bit of an exaggeration…

But let's move on… It's just to call again about the RITOURNELLE serie.
This is a serie of module for sequencing. That is perfectly suited for live performances and improvisation.

No there is no random here, but algorithm. It means that you can retrieve the sequence you like, and play with it.
… and so, you're not the slave of the random...

RITOURNELLE CV Generator
RITOURNELLE TRIG Generator
And a bit of the RITOURNELLE TIME-SHIFTER.

4x Sony DPS-Serie: D7, M7, R7, F7, Digital Studio FX + Synth, komplettes Set

Note this is the first post to feature them. Apparently the F7 features a vocodoer with 2-oscillator monosynth and drum synth.

"ENGLISH DESCRIPTION (consult the German one too, as it may contain a few more details): You are bidding on a complete quartet of the legendary Sony DPS-7 series, including the rare F7 filter and vocoder module with 2-oscillator monosynth and a drum synth with 20 sound generators. I have another complete quartet, which is enough, so this one has to go. Everything is fully functional. There is the usual rack rash, especially scratches on the top surfaces (plus some on the D7's buttons), but nothing that goes beyond what you would expect at this age. The batteries are fully charged (and can easily be replaced if ever necessary). All the buttons, encoders and potentiometers work smoothly. Note that the F7 is a 110V version, so you'll need one of the usual step-down transformers to operate it in Europe. I have a semi-defunct DPS-D7 that may serve as a PSU donor in a possible transplantation.

Google translated from German:

The complete quartet of the Sony DPS-7 series is available here, i.e. D7, M7, R7, and the rare F7 with its filters, vocoders and the only synthesizer that Sony has ever built (a virtual analog monophonic and drum synth). Since I now have another copy of each of the four devices, all the surplus ones have to go, because one set is enough for me.

The four devices in question here are all in perfect condition. They have the usual rack installation marks, especially scratches on the top (also a little on the buttons on the D7), but otherwise nothing that goes beyond what is to be expected at this age. The pictures are pretty brutal. The batteries are full, the buttons don't stick and the potentiometers slide as they should. Note: the F7 comes in the 110V version. So it needs one of the usual voltage converters ("travel adapter", "step-down transformer" etc., which can be bought second-hand for a small price). Unfortunately I still need mine for another device, so I can't give it away. But I still have a DPS-D7, which works but has a few minor flaws and a 220V power supply. Since the devices are electrically identical, I would also sell the D7 if you are interested, so that a power supply exchange is possible."

"Beautiful condition! 45 year old synth but you would never no it! No scratches rusty screws or any of the screen print missing, and the keys are white! Functions as it should without issue. This is a 100v model so will need a transformer to use in the UK (Transformer not included in the sale). Comes with a Reprinted manual and hard flight case with castors."
