"Original stand and flightcase for Elka Synthex, complete with bags for stand's disassembly and attaching knobs. A very rare item which will add value to your Elka Synthex."

Note the auction does not include the flyer from what I can tell. Posts on MATRIXSYNTH are rarely primarily about the auction. They are about the pics, video and/or interesting bits of info. The auction goes away but the post does not. Sometimes the fact that a rare item is up for auction is interesting of course.

GENESIS P-ORRIDGE's Ensoniq EPS 16?

via Craigslist New York

"This keyboard is in perfect working order. It comes with 50plus unique discs. This keyboard has been played by GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE live with HAWKWIND, PIGFACE, PSYCHIC TV and THEE MAJESTY. It has been used in the studio on countless recordings involving Genesis P-Orridge. Lady Jaye also played it live several times before switching to percussion driven samplers. The library of discs that come with it include sounds recorded and sample by Genesis P-Orridge and Psychic TV that will be recognized by the purchaser as classic signature PTV3 samples. This is a rare opportunity. It comes in a robust flight case that has survived rock and roll tours and airline baggage handlers since 1993! Not only do you get an amazing sampler, sequencer and keyboard but you get sounds and noises that nobody else will ever have. The keyboard itself is signed by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and still has PTV stickers from touring on it for ease of identification. The manual is available online for downloading. This keyboard is quite literally a piece of Alternative Rock and Roll history!" via Romsay

Crease (Original Song by James Cronin)


YouTube via EnvelopeGenerator — April 05, 2010 — "Here's a song I wrote. It's a little cheesy, a little creepy, a little bouncy, a little ambient.

(Sorry about the sound, YouTube screwed up the audio!)

And here's the synths I used:
Drums - Alesis Performance Pad (sampled through Akai S1000)
Bass - Moog Prodigy and ARP Axxe
Arpeggio - Juno 6 (sampled through the Akai)
Hook - Juno 6 (sampled through the Akai... again)
Pizzicato thing - Juno 6 (guess what? sampled through the Akai)
Brassy synth - Microkorg
Doot-de-doo riff at the end - Juno 6 (not sampled! holy crap!)"

Elektron Monomachine Karplus Strong technique


YouTube via darenager — April 05, 2010 — "A very basic demo of how to do Karplus Strong synthesis using the Monomachine.

Not intended to be a musical perfomance just a demo of the technique, here's how:

Start with a short sound, such as the GND Noise machine, set a short decay, turn the delay send up, set the delay time to the shortest possible, set the delay feedback at 64, in the key follow page set the delay time and DBAS to negative key follow - you can experiment here for different sounds.

Adjusting the various delay parameters will change the sound, keep the delay time short and feedback around 64, I made some percussive sounds, plucked string type sounds and FM sounding tones by experimenting with the settings. Have fun ;)

Im sure after watching this video, you will at least have a small indication as to how it functions."

Electrocomp EML 500


via this auction

"This is a rare Electrocomp EML500 analogue mono synth. It was launched as Electrocomp's answer to the Moog Prodigy but was never made in anything like the same quantities. It has two VCOs (with a weird sync capability), noise source, an interesting LFO, sample & hold, pitch scaling (for exotic microtonal scales), ring modulator, multimode filter with HP, BP, LP modes (very rare at the time), envelope generator, CV/Gate in and out (although not 1v/Oct) and a mic input. Capable of some very odd sounds and the 3.5 octave keyboard makes it a lot of fun to solo on. I bought it to replace my EML100 but it's not really in the same league as that or the EML101, still a cool synth though."

Right on Target (Patrick Cowley tribute) - Harlem Nights


YouTube via harlemnightsmusic — April 04, 2010 — "Tributing Patrick Cowley.. Recreating this classic early 80s club track, some variations later on. You may recognize some elements of Menergy and Megatron Man. Patrick Cowley is one of my ATF artists. It's great to see his genious work being rediscovered by many nowadays.

Recreated by ear (loosely). No sampling of the original track was involved. Check out my other vids for more 80s recreations.

Synths used:
- Korg Electribe SX (Oberheim DMX drums, Linn cowbell)
- Korg Minikorg 700S (bass, rhythm accent)
- Creamware Pro12 (Prophet 5 brass)
- Crumar Performer (strings)
- Korg MS2000R (arpeggio fx, noise fx)
- No Juno this time :-)

ARP 2500 modular synthesizer for auction

via this auction
"Rare, early ARP 2500 modular synthesizer in very good cosmetic condition and working 100%. A friend of mine bought this one from Phil Cirocco of CMS/Discrete Synthesizers in late 2007 and it's still working solid. As you can see, this is an earlier 2002 cabinet with a 3000 series four voice keyboard.

It includes the following modules-
1002 Power Control
1003 Dual Envelope Generator
1004T VCO
1005 Ring Mod / VCA
1006 Lowpass filter / VCA
1016 Noise / Random Voltage
1023 Dual VCO (rare prototype)
1027 3 x 10 Sequencer
1033 Dual EG with delay
1036 Dual S/H, Clock
1047 Multimode Filter

Cosmetically- The veneer on the cabinet does have some chipping here and there, but overall it still looks very good. Some of the modules have a former owners name and the serial # etched in on the corners.

Internally- According to Phil's description when he sold it, the power supply had been upgraded about 2 years prior to my friend buying it to a 1.5 Amp, low noise high performance unit. The separate 12v lamp power supply had also been rebuilt around that time.
The keyboard works great as well as all of the knobs, switches, matrix sliders, etc. No scratchy pots whatsoever! Phil obviously took care of this thing. I did notice that one of the LEDs on the sequencer has since burned out, but if this is an issue I can have it replaced.

This is not a plug in and play unit like an Arp 2600. Patching is required if you want sound. Please be aware of this."

Guild Melodic Rhythmer Vintage Analog Drum Machine


via this auction

"The Melodic Rhythmer features 16 different drum patterns, including: March, Shuffle, Rhumba, Tango, Fox Trot, Western and more. For further control of patterns, this unit enables the user to toggle Cymbal, Claves, Cowbell and Bass Drum, as well as, Tempo and Volume. Judging by the complete lack of any information on the Melodic Rhythmer, it seems to be quite a rare bird!"

"Work in progress, 8 page x 64 step MIDI sequencer, built with PureData with an "mlr" like mode. It can be driven by internal timing, or a looping midi clip to match Live's tempo. Made to work with the Impulse drum machine in Ableton Live, but could be adapted for whatever... also, maybe next I'll add clip-sequencer mode for some super choppy break biz, without needing robotic fingers. ;)"
