Roland SPV-355 rare analog synth pitch-CV Gate

Trope SPV-355 Hog pt.2 video upload by siebenjager

Note Part 1 was not on YouTube.

"Trope generative music run through Roland SPV355 pitch-voltage analog synth, Space Echo, and Electroharmonix HOG. One channel of the iphone stereo output went to the HOG while the other fed the SPV-355 and the Space Echo in succession. The SPV is intended to track a monophonic input source so it gets glitchy as it locks onto different harmonics. More endless noodling."

Trope SPV-355 Hog pt.3


"fed it a cleaner signal this time, the hog output at octave up setting fed the 355 which then used the pitch conversion."

via this auction


"This is a pretty unique little synth, it has a similar feature set to the SH2 with some differences but is a good alternative that fits in a rack. There is a front panel audio input that takes a monophonic signal, like a voice or a bassline, and generates voltages for the pitch CV (1v/oct), gate and envelope (followed from the source). You can then use these to control the internal 2 Oscillator analog synth, an external synth via CV/gate/envelope, or both simultaneously. There are also CV/Gate inputs for use as a standard synth module, you can use any cv/gate keyboard or midi/CV converter that gives 1v/octave. Audio ins and outs (with the exception of the effects send/return) are on the front panel and CV/gate I/O is on the rear.

I just posted some videos of it in use on Youtube under user ID siebenjager [below]. My favorite thing about it is how crude the pitch to voltage converter is, it makes it easily abusable. It tends to be more interesting when mistracking, though you can get it to track well if you send it a very clean well defined harmonically flat mono signal (like an oscillator or organ tone). When I want to use it as a "normal" synth I just run it off the CV/Gate inputs. For someone looking for a flexible guitar synth, this is probably the last thing I'd recommend. Ironically, I think this was its original intent as the output is pretty low output, probably -20, intended for an amplifier. But for someone looking for new sounds that wants to also be able to use bread-and-butter monosynth sounds this would fit the bill."

Arp 2600

via this auction
"This Arp is a gray face model with the 3620 keyboard that allows for duophonic playing and gives the user an additional LFO... The Arp 2600 is equipped with three oscillators, a 24db/oct filter, two envelope generators, an lfo (but each oscillator can function as an LFO as well), a sample and hold, a noise generator that can generate noise colours ranging between white and pink noise, an analog ring modulator with a preamp input for processing external sources, an analog voltage controlled amp, and a spring tank for adding spring reverb. Architecturally, the synthesizer is somewhat pre-patched but adopts an semi-modular format with 1/8 inch jacks for bypassing the pre-patching and allowing the user to build a synth structure of their liking. This modular format allows for nearly limitless possibilities and for all sorts of experimenting. Since the Arp was designed to be a teaching tool it is very easy to use and anyone looking for a doorway into modular synthesis should seriously consider this synth."

The “Retr0bright” Project

The Retrobright Project tells you how to bring the white back in old plastic cases stained due to time. This can obviously apply to the Commodore 64 as pictured and other gear like the Roland CR-8000.
"Anyone who has dug their old computer or console out of the cupboard or loft for some retro gaming will probably have noticed that it maybe hasn’t worn too well with the test of time. The plastics these machines were made of is called ABS and to make it flame retardant (just in case it catches fire after a marathon session) the plastics manufacturers added chemicals that caused the plastic turn yellow or, even worse, brown over a long period of time."
