1950s Jenny Ondioline Demo Record - Synthesizer Precursor

"A vintage record demonstrating Georges Jenny's Ondioline tube-driven electronic instrument, an important but almost forgotten ancestor of the modern synthesizer. I've included English translation of the French-language narration in this video." flexi disc
Spirits Of The Temple Electric
YouTube via JohnLRice.
"This was a modular synth patch similar to the one used in my "They Don't Care What You Do" video. I was using it to play around with watching the output run through an oscilloscope to see what it looked like. I started liking the audio and I thought a video tape of the o-scope would be good enough for a quick and dirty YouTube video. Once I started playing around with video effects though, the whole thing turned into something breathtaking and mysterious! (IMHO of course! ;-)
Watch it once through as is and then go back at watch it again and randomly pause the playback in many places and you may be surprised at the images you see! I see different faces (human/animal/???), bodies, buildings, structures and cosmic landscapes etc . . . many with seemingly very iconic spiritual/religious overtones! I mused that by chance I had stumbled upon a way to view an alternative electronic dimension and the beings or spirits that live and rule there! (I sure do miss those old Outer Limits TV shows! ;-)
So, I hope you enjoy this. I may make a second version in the near future with the same music but just a selection of the images as a slide show so it will be easier to ponder and let your imagination run wild.
Thank you are taking the time to watch, rate and comment!"

Gristleized Drone Commander
Untitled from Phillip Walker on Vimeo.
"This is a demonstration of a Drone Commander made by Eric Archer (ericarcher.net) being run through one of the new Gristleizers made by Endagered Audio (smashingguitarsasheville.com). The original Gristleizer was created by Chris Carter of Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey (thanks Chris). Also involved in this piece is a cruddy stereo reverb made by Realistic."

"DISCLAIMER:
Many of the images used in this video were taken from a Google images search. If you are the owner if any of these images and do not approve of their use in this video, please contact me and I'll remove them.
Hey guys, been a while since I did a video but I've had this project in mind for some time now. Took a good few days to gather the raw materials and a few more of fiddling with Pro Tools, Fireworks and Windows Movie Maker (which will crash if you so much as look at it the wrong way)!
Anyway, this video might be a little slow for some people and bear in mind there may be room for improvement. Please leave some comments (constructive criticism more than welcome) if there's anything you'd like to know or think I should change.
This is part 2 of 2, which mainly focuses on the sounds of the Logan String Melody.
Hope you enjoy it!"
Bromus - Fraunhofer Lines (Korg DW-8000 demo song)
YouTube via BromusTbg
"Bromus - Fraunhofer Lines
Song recorded with Korg DW-8000 synthesizer only. All synthetic sounds came from this synth, only rythm is created from the Roland's TR-606/808 samples.
Used Stuff:
Hardware:
- Korg DW-8000
- Smallstone Phaser mk2
Software:
- Roland TR-606/808"

See the site for more. The following is just a snip on the Mark II Wind Controller. You'll find samples on site.
"The circuit boards are housed in a wooden case made from cherry and walnut with some decorative inlays on the bottom part. The main body of the case was assembled as an octagonal assembly, but was rounded on the outside for that traditional instrument look and shape. There are three circuit board assemblies, the main board that has the processor and other active circuitry, an upper switch assembly for the fingering buttons, and a lower switch and LED assembly. The lower assembly connects to the main board before being inserted into the case. The upper switch assembly is also inserted into the case and connects to the bottom half sandwich with a small ribbon cable."

"light of harmony newsletter July 2009
Greetings!
A bit late, oh well. I’ve been busy clearing out the order backlog and am almost finished (hooray!). Currently building the last of the Infernal Noise Machine preorders, and hope to be finished this week/early next week.
· I still have a few sets of INM PCBs remaining if anyone is interested. USD$666.00 + S&H.
Lead time 8-12 weeks, as I still have to finish the Quad Plague Bearers and get going on a few other things.
· Two group buys currently in the sign-up stage:
o Joysticks – It’s time again! This time, however, the purchase is of brand new joysticks from the manufacturer – not NOS (New Old Stock) units from a liquidator. Details can be found in the Muffwiggler forum thread.
o Jacks – I finally found them! I have been searching for 3.5mm mono NC-switched vertical PCB mount jacks with M6x0.5 threaded bushing since I started f(h), and finally found some with a panel-PCB height less than 15mm. They are only slightly larger in dimension to the ubiquitous Kobiconn 16PJ13x. I know that many others have also wanted this style and I am so stoked on finding these that I’m organizing a group buy at cost – USD$0.075 each (7.5¢). Details in the Muffwiggler forum thread. The MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) has already been met.
That’s enough for now, toodles.

A100 Motorik rhythm
A100 Motorik rhythm from Peter Speer on Vimeo.
"I wanted to use our still-new Doepfer A-118 Noise source in a drum pattern. This is the result.
Here's the patch:
The envelope generator on the Moog Rogue is set to auto-trigger itself.
The Audio Out from the Moog Rogue is sent to the Symmetrical input on the A-119 External Input, only to trigger its Gate output (the Audio Out on the 119 is not used).
The Gate Out from the A-119 is sent to a multiple, and from there to:
1. The Trig. In on an A-160 Clock Divider
2. The Gate In on an A-140 Envelope Generator
The /4 output on the 160 is triggering a Boss Dr. Pad (Snare 1 setting). The output from the Dr. Pad is sent to the mixer (off screen).
The /8 output on the 160 is triggering the first envelope on the A-143-1 Complex Envelope Generator (set to Attack-Decay mode) the output of which is opening the bottom VCA on the A-132-3 Dual VCA. The output on the bottom VCA is sent to a mixer (off screen).
The CP2 gate out on the 143-1's second channel (set to LFO mode) is patched to the CV In on an A-150 Dual Voltage Controlled Switch (here acting as a VCA). The output of the 150 is send to the mixer (off screen).
The triangle output from a Plan B ELF LFO is sent to a Frostwave Resonator's input, the output of which is connected to a Frostwave Blue Ringer. The Ringer's output is patched to the Input on the upper 132-3 VCA; the output of the upper VCA is sent to the mixer (off screen).
The White Noise output from the 118 is sent to the In 2 input on an A-196 Phase Locked Loop. The Phase Comp. Output from the 196 is sent to the first Input on the A-150. The second input is left unpatched.
The Colored Noise output from the 118 is sent to the Input on the bottom 132-3 VCA.
The first output on the 140 is opening the upper 132-3 VCA.
The second output on the 140 is sent to a multiple, and from there to:
1. the Low Pass Frequency CV In the Resonator
2. to an attenuator, and then to the CV In on the Ringer
I think that's everything. Two A-118 noise channels, one Dr. Pad channel and one M37-->filter-->ring modulator channel. Panned for stereo but otherwise no outboard effects used.
theshamblers.blogspot.com"
A-118 Noise from Peter Speer on Vimeo.
"I could listen to this all day!
We just got a Doepfer A-118 Noise and Random Voltage module. It's great!!
In this patch, the Colored output from the 118 is being fed into a channel on the A-132-3 VCA. The Random Voltage output from the 118 is being multed and sent to:
A. the Gate In on a A-140 Envelope Generator (the output of which is opening the VCA)
B. the Trigger In on an A-160 Clock Divider (the /4 and /32 outputs are sending CV to the two halves of an A-150 Dual Voltage Controlled Switch, strictly for blinkenlights purposes)
C. the CP3 In on an A-143-1 Complex Envelope Generator (the Mix Out of which is modulating the Low Pass Frequency on a Frostwave Resonator)
The output from the VCA is sent to the Audio In on a Frostwave Resonator filter; the Resonator is sent into a Frostwave Blue Ringer ring modulator; the output from the Blue Ringer is sent to a mixer, and from there to the computer.
The audio sync is a hair off. Please accept my apologies.
We recommend the A-118. I'm already finding it to be more useful than I'd anticipated!

Synthex - Analog Synth & Effect - Analogue Synthesizer
"This is the latest, custom-made, hand-built, all-analog, synth and sound effects generator from deep in the laboratories at Abstract Data.
It is an extremely versatile synth - giving you instant access to full-force, knob-turning analog power.
Whether you're a musician, producer, sound designer, DJ or live performer - all the best of analog fatness and warmth can now be yours.
At the heart of Synthex is a true Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) that outputs Square and Triangle Waveforms - but that really is just the start.
Use the two external audio inputs to create massive Hard Sync and FM effects, control the Mix and Levels with dedicated cross-faders,
reconfigure the internal signal path with the flick of a switch and lose yourself in a world of pure analog bliss.
What does it sound like?
The video below demonstrates four very simple routines that range from more familiar, full-bodied analog warmth, through to some of the more experimental Synthex sounds.
This is just a taste of what Synthex is capable of and because it will accept absolutely any type of 'line-level' audio input, your imagination really is the only limit.
The external audio inputs used in this clip are all straight, symmetrical waveforms being fed from a software sequencer via an external soundcard.
The last clip uses two waveforms per input for a little extra something."
video previously posted here
YouTube via abstractjuz
"Synthex is the latest model in the Hex Series of Hybrid Synths and Effects from ADT. Analog VCO with Square and Triangle Wave outputs via a dedicated cross-fade. Hard Sync and FM Modulation via two external audio inputs - also with their own cross-fade. Two switchable modes to go from more familiar analog sounds to awesome, bizarre and completely freakish sound effects. Great for tweak-heads and sound-designers alike. A very limited quantity of this model will be available for sale - please PM me if you'd like to know more."

Damp allows you to silence the decay on an instrument much like choking a cymbal. Lastly, I demonstrate a function that turns the drum machine into a 16 part monophonic, multi-timbral sound module. Here, I sequence four parts (DXClav, Bass1, Snare1 and Closed Hi Hat) with a Roland Fantom X6."
SY MANN - SWITCHED ON SANTA - Tijuana Christmas (1970)
YouTube via cosmocorps2000.
Don't miss the kawazy vid below. "SY MANN showed his earliest musical talent at age 6 when he began to correct mistakes, made by his older sister who was then a cello student, by reaching up to the keyboard of the family player-piano and striking the "right notes". His parents took him to a piano instructor when he was 7 and in a short time it was discovered that he possessed absolute pitch. During public school assemblies he gave demonstrations of this phenomenon to the applause and wonder of his classmates and teachers. He continued his music education at NYU. Excelling in his music studies, Sy was elected to membership in the National Honorary music fraternity, PHI MU ALPHA SINFONIA and, later, held the post of student president of the music department of NYU School of Education. Back in civilian life after almost 4 years of service, Sy returned to NYU for his B.S. degree in Music Education, now a married man and father of a baby boy. Not particularly desirous of entering the teaching field, Sy continued with performing engagements, playing for most of show business' top acts as well as stints with the bands of Alvino Ray and Benny Goodman. In 1949 he entered the radio field as staff pianist and arranger for New York's top independent station WNEW. He then established himself in the recording, jingle and film music fields. In 1954 he joined the CBS music staff and currently is pianist-arranger on the Arthur Godfrey Show where he doubles on trumpet, vibraphone, clavietta, electric harpsichord and other assorted keyboard instruments. He has contributed his talents to numerous stars like Barbra Streisand, Tiny Tim, Sammy Davis, Connie Francis. Anybody who plays piano can play The Moog Synthesizer. It is a computer like instrument with a piano keyboard. Since only one note sounds at a time to make music one needs a multi-track tape recorder to record each line of music separately. An electronic engineer is needed not only for the circuitry but also to program the millions of different sound combinations available — also each time the sound is changed The Moog has to be tuned! It takes about one hour of recording time to produce 30 seconds of listenable music. In this album Sy takes the Moog Synthesizer and creates today's electronic Christmas tree out of this new musical wonder. The Moog, a strange machine of lights, cords, inputs and outputs enters the festive world of the merriest season of all. It's a wonderful gift for today's caroleers. Sy Mann giftwraps all your Christmas favorites in the most exciting musical sound, and puts them under your glittering tree. Gift tagged to read 'Merry Christmas from The Moog!'"
SY MANN - SWITCHED ON SANTA - My Favorite Things (1970)
"MUSIC: Sy Mann - My Favorite Things from the album SWITCHED ON SANTA! (1970) One of this numerous Moog records from the past. Now the Moog plays popular xmas songs VIDEO: Scenes from Tales From The Crypt (GB 1972) Episode: All Through The House Starring Joan Collins After Joanne Clayton (Joan Collins) kills her husband on Christmas Eve, she prepares to hide his body but hears a radio announcement stating that a homicidal maniac (Oliver MacGreevy) is on the loose. She sees the maniac outside her house but can't call the police because of her husband's body. The segment ends with the maniac, dressed as Santa Claus, being let into the house by Joanne's little daughter. He strangles Joanne to death. (from Wikipedia)."
Update via Mal in the comments: "This was recorded in Jean-Jacques Perrey's Recording studio in Manhattan using his (and Gershon Kingsley's) moog modular. Jean-jacques engineered the album (uncredited) and I also believe that manny of the tracks were actually arranged and recorded by him. Also... Santa on the front cover is in fact Jean-Jacques Perrey!!!"
