Camel Audio Cameleon 5000 Additive Synth Overview, Part One

YouTube via gearwire

"While centuries past, synthesis was reserved for the likes of royalty appointed wizards, the enlightenment and technology teamed up to make it available to everyone. Bill Holland sums up the hidden powers of additive synthesis in this, his demo of Camel Audio Cameleon 5000."

Camel Audio Cameleon 5000 Additive Synth Overview, Part Two

"With the Camel Audio Cameleon 5000, Bill Holland shows that changing up sound and modulating it is as natural and easy as an actual chameleon changing colors to match its environment. In our next video, Bill Holland shows you how to change colors to match your environment."

Brand New EMS SYNTHIs

via Matt on the AH list:
"I just spoke to Robin Wood at EMS and he told me that they plan to start making the Synthi A & VCS3 again in the next two months. They have sufficient parts to make about 40 VCS3s and even more Synthis. The timescale to completion will be about 18 months after that.

To join the waiting list you must send a cheque for GBP 150 to Robin and should then phone every 6 months to find out the progress. The VCS3 will cost GBP 3200 + VAT. Robin says that there are quite a few people who have been on the waiting list for years, so the allocation & availability isn't clear."

Before you get too excited, there were a few follow up threads stating that this has been stated several times in the past. Regardless, it is interesting. Robin Wood and EMS is still around, and there is the potential (parts) for new SYNTHIs. Definitely a fascinating bit of synth history. Hopefully it will happen. Just remember to pray. Because... Every nun really does need a SYNTHI. [more every ads]

Note EMS Rehberg also has them.

Millioniser 2000 Promo Video Rock Erickson London, England 1983

video upload by millioniser2000

via rock in the comments of this post. See that post for a scan.

"Rock Erickson -The first American called to Europe to play and record with Walter Mueller's Millioniser 2000. Harmonica like in principal giving the end user complete control over synthesizer and midi functions with the sensitivity of your own breath. This instrument is a one of a kind powerhouse. The video starts off by showing the functions of Millioniser 2000 and then merges into the on stage video which was shot in London. Rick Fenn of "Lie For A Lie" Sony Music was the music director and lead guitarist along with Charlie Barret from The FIXX on bass. The Millioniser Breath Controller units that I'm currently using in the studio are breathing new life (literally) thru their capability to dynamically control some of the most popular software and rack synths ( Garritan Personal Orchestra, Roland Sound Canvas, Yamaha VL70 ect ) and samplers like SampleTank & Tascam Giga Studio ) in both the mono and polyphonic arena. If you have comments or questions please post here or email"

Make Noise QMMG Test

YouTube via thedeepelement
"'m testing out a)Make Noise's Quad Multi Mode Gate (qmmg) module and b)Flip's UltraHD camcorder. I wanted to share a video of how extreme the module can get with normal Tip Top Audio and Cwejman waveforms. I first preview all four channels without activating the gates. Then I turn all the channels to VCA, Both, LP and finally HP modes. After that I manually mangle the sound and return back to VCA mode. Everything is coming out of the summing mixer. So in short you get a Mixer, VCA and multimode filtering. Why don't you have this yet?"
