"GODWIN / MORESCHI CD 1 - 1984

What is this thing?
Why does it look so awesome?
Who controls it?
How?

Also released under the Moreschi brand and sometimes with a reversed control panel, the questions are piling up over here and since this unicorn doesn't get captured very often we thought we owed the internet quality photos and an in-depth, technical video demonstration of its functions.

We haven't managed to crack open the Treble sounds - we need the schematics to properly access those - if anyone has them please contact us - and stay tuned for a Part II then.

The video probably has the information you need but let's dive in to a basic rundown here just in case:

The CD1 is an Italian auto-accompaniment unit derived from the Godwin Drummaker 32.
Hooking this up to an electronic accordion, foot pedals or an organ you get organ and polyphonic sounds, pre-programmed chords, arpeggios, bass lines and drum machine patterns.
It's unclear which accordion model is compatible to the CD1, if such an object exists.

The unit has 6 sections: Drum machine, Bass, Chords, Arpeggio, Treble and Solo sounds. Plus a modulation section.

The 2 arpeggio sounds are the same as on the Drummaker 32 while the drums are unique to the CD1.
Our plan is to unlock the last tabs sounds properly once we find the schematics or manual but in the meantime the unit trigger 4 chords with the Program push buttons so you can still use it and it sounds great."

Chromaplane Tuning Website Jam

video upload by Perplex On

"I am really fascinated by the #chromaplane @koma_elektronik but couldn’t justify the purchase yet. But while surfing their website i stumbled across the chromaplane tuning website and couldn’t stop playing with it. 😄 A poor-man’s version of the real deal if you will 😅 In this case, the ipad just mirrors the website and the pen replaces the mouse, which feels even a bit closer to holding the pickup mic of the real thing. By using #blackhole loopback audio driver i was able to add reverb to it and record everything in Ableton."

Novation Summit Demo custom patches

"Recorded without any external FX or compressors.
Even if Novation Peak / Summit is far away from sequentials flexible mod matrix I honestly think they do sound very good when being programmed with a nice touch! :)"

MORE Dark and gritty modular synth set by NE's Stephen McCaul

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Here's another dark and gritty modular synth performance by Chief Noisemaker Stephen McCaul.

The bottom case is a six voice case with Incus Iteritas Alia (2), Debel Iteritas Alia, Tymp Legio, Manis Iteritas Alia, Virt Iter Legio + Ampla Legio.

There is a Librae Legio for the percussion submix (paralleling the main mix) and an Electus Versio on a send. The rhythm sequencing is from an experimental prototype that isn't really product worthy.

Pitch sequencing comes from Opp Ned. And the Xer Mixa mixer ties it all together.

The top case is an effects rig for another project but i used a Fala Versio and a Yester Versio in that case for some additional effects.
