Maps w/ Trent: SxE1 Silhouette
video upload by Whimsical Raps
"A stroll through the new SIlhouette module, describing functionality & the use cases that I've had in mind while creating the module. A little bit of description of some technical details, and other novelty items.
Preceded by a 20ish minute performance trying to dig into the radical timbral transformations possible with the module, driven by a pair of simple arpeggios."

"Behold! The great and iconic vintage string synthesizer (or organ if you will) Hohner String Melody II.
Anyhow, this awesome instrument has 8 sliders that control percussion, bass and melodies. Also Attack and Sustain can be controlled on the bass and melodic part separately. In result You can get many different vibes out of the String Melody II - from pretty classic but somewhat unique organ to Stranger Things type space synthesizer. And I have to add that sounds are just amazing. No wonder a lot of well known bands and musicians had these in their studios.
Some of these are also known as Logan String Melody II in the market. I don't think there is much difference between them though."

"This item came from a Grateful Dead equipment storage unit many years ago. Selling as found no guarantees if working, the red lights come on when plugged in and the little screws that hold it together were missing."

THE Ambient MONSTER // Steampipe
video upload by Starsky Carr
"Yes it can do flutes, pan pies, strings, pipe organs and cellos. For me, however, the Erica Synths and 112dB Steampipe is a glorious ambient machine. Scary movies, sci fi spaceships, beautiful textures and feedbacks..
But if you've got a wind controller, the delicate nuances you can get from the Steampipe are like nothing else."
