MATRIXSYNTH

A Nice Song for Spring

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"This 1970s Wurlitzer 'Music Learning Module' inspires with its simplicity, making just one sound.

It sounds like a transistor organ, playing a simple, unfiltered waveform. No sensitivity to velocity and a simple gate-like envelope. Immediate attack, immediate release. We could easily recreate this sound with a modern day synthesizer, but would we have been as drawn to or inspired by that sound if it wasn’t coming out of this bright blue relic? Probably not.

We hooked it up to Chroma Console to add a little bit more variety and life to the static nature of the sound. Maybe we’ll make a longer video of this pairing, but until then, enjoy this little synth-pop jam!"

Shakmat Griffin's Claws: Demo

"Attenuators and VCAs are the secret sauce of every modular patch, providing opportunities for creative control and sonic movement. However, simple attenuators require constant adjustments, while voltage-controlled ones never offer precise attenuation throughout the evolution of your patch. Enter Griffin’s Claws, a new way to automate attenuation in an intuitive yet detailed way in your system.

Griffin’s Claws features four recordable attenuators with offset normalization, selectable linear or logarithmic response, and cascaded mixing on the outputs. Syncing with external clocks, gate outputs tied to fader movements, Sample & Hold, non-volatile memory of 16 presets, select bus compatibility and control on rate and amplitude complete this rich set of features. With such flexibility and precision, you will find that Griffin’s Claws soon becomes indispensable in both live performances and studio setups.

"Roland Super JX-10 Synthesizer with PG-800 progammer for sale. The JX-10 basically has 2 JX-8Ps under the hood with 24 DCOs in total, and was Roland’s flagship polysynth in the 80s. The electrolytic capacitors of the power supply in this unit have been replaced, as well as the battery. The synth is both functionally and visually in very good shape but the aftertouch does not work anymore – a common JX-10 issue. It comes with an M-64C memory cartridge. The Eprom has been upgraded to version 2.3 which drastically improves midi-compatibility."
