"Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.17 Transforming Guitar to Bass
By Bill Ruppert

Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we create a remarkable collection of impossible sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals!
No keyboards, samplers or midi pickups were used.

In this episode explore producing unique bass sound using just a guitar and effect pedals.
I also show all the individual pedal settings at the EHX forum listed below.

Pimp Synth Rack

more pics here

via Joe:
"needed a solution for my sprawling synth collection, and it needed to take up as little space as possible. I found these racks at Costco, which can handle up to 4600lbs (800lbs per shelf); more than enough to store some ancient gear on. This is actually two of the racks, as I needed some extra shelves. The racks are $84 a piece. With all the gear mounted I can easily roll the entire rig around on carpet with no problem, allowing easy access to the back for patching. I've left about 3 inches of clearance on each shelf so you can actually use the controls on each synth. The rack is wide enough to handle any 61 key synth, with ample room left over on each side to get your arms around the synth for lifting."

Arp 2600 with 3604P Keyboard

via this auction

"Earlier version of Arp 2600 with 3604P Keyboard. Everything works. Fully serviced by the tech at Main Drag Music in Brooklyn, NY in 2009. He is the best synth tech in New York area. The keyboard cable + connectors are replaced with DIN type for more stability, but you can bring them back to original condition easily. Comes with NOS original connectors and a cable for who wants more authentic look (but less reliable connection.). Tolex has some minor rips. Very clean.

"It's cool! You can play it with a drum stick, trigger it from a drum machine trigger out, or any sound input to the jack.

This particular one has a reaaaaallllly loooonggg booooooommmm! It self-oscillates at decay maximum and at minimum is a tight bip. The tuning range goes from super-high pitched to sub-audio bass rumbles. You can even make it sound kinda like a rimshot or conga."

xavier van wersch @ simultan festival 2007

xavier van wersch @ simultan festival 2007 from simultanfestival on Vimeo.

"Xavier van Wersch (NL 1976) obtained a degree in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague after having studied visual arts and philosophy. His work reflects an organical approach to the field of electronic music. In his compositions, performances and installations there is always an element of controlled chaos. He explores the relation between man and machine by conceiving the two of them together as hybrid systems in which erratic behaviour is the principal condition for interaction. Another common theme in his work is recycling. Like a modern Frankenstein, van Wersch constructs his machinery from parts of deceased equipment and disfunctional devices.

To balance his usually rather noisy live performances, van Wersch produces more beat-oriented tracks under the alias 'xaf'. As a sound designer he worked with a.o. Nederlands Dans Theater, Icelandic National Ballet / Maska Ljubljana, the Poni Collective and Ivana Müller. He is the director and founder of re.Bug, an organisation that supports and develops projects in which art, technology and ecology meet. After a 4 year stay in Belgium, van Wersch now lives in Hungary. He has been invited to teach at Novus School of Arts in Budapest and is currently setting up a studio in the school.

Monomachine SuperPoly

YouTube via Catabolicdj | July 06, 2010

"Expanding the polyphony on the Monomachine through the Userwave function. Here, the polyphony is quadrupled in the first part and tripled in the second part. If needed, you can take out some of the polyphony after the fact with some creative use of filters and EQ. The new Monomachine +Drive option allows more than 7000 userwaves to be stored and used. Looking forward to getting that on this little guy. (HD video available - good for taking a look at the screen in detail ;-) )"

A viewer has asked some great questions about the A-90 and this video and a future video on the A-90's battery replacement is to try to help answer some of those questions. Please let me know if any clarification in needed. :) If anyone else has any advice as well, please comment and add your insights on the topic. :)

Ballad for Robert Moog

YouTube via SynthManiaDotCom | July 05, 2010

"A synthesizer song dedicated to Robert Moog.

Like many keyboardists, I first fell in love with synthesizers having heard a Moog (the song "Amore Grande Amore Libero" by Italian keyboardist "Il Guardiano del Faro") as a child in the 1970s.

I made this song with a Synthesizers.com modular and a Kurzweil K2500X - it's a simple, gentle song dedicated to "the father of synthesis", based on a string pad, and a modular solo."
