8 Track Sequence

YouTube via mik300z | August 14, 2010

"This is the boring side to recording, but...I hope it demonstrates the use of the esq1's simple 8 track sequencer using 2 then 4 bars at a standard 120 bpm. This old gear is quirky but allows ideas to be put down quickly. sometimes you can take just one little piece of the sequence and it inspires something else, the ending was a little improv based on what I took from the sequence. The sequence itself is nonsense but It threw me to another path ....thats what I love about it:)"

Homemade VCO playing "Hymn" by Vangelis

YouTube via mmachinibarra | July 17, 2010

"The melody was played in a test version of the home made Synthesizer VCO developed by us: Jorge & Miguel Machin. Additionally we used Andromeda A6 Synthesizer's filters and envelopes to shape the signal and a MF 104z for delay effects. The chord progression was played in a Yamaha Motif XS."

Omnichord Spoken Here! A Suzuki Songbook

via this auction

"'Omnichord Spoken Here! A Suzuki Songbook'

Printed in 1985.

"An exciting collection of today's most popular hit songs for your Omnichord System Two"

Yes, a songbook made specifically for the Omnichord. 118 songs! But the best part of this book is obviously that cover! Look at that amazing anthropomorphic Omnichord! Possibly the creepiest thing ever!"

More Advanced Electronic Music Projects

via this auction

"'More Advanced Electronic Music Projects' by R.A. Penfold.
Published in 1986. Paperback.

Includes DIY projects for effects such as Phaser, Phase Shifter, Fuzz, Ring Modulator, Chorus, Noise Gate, Vibrato, and more. There are also projects for DIY percussion synthesizers with a range of effects including drum, cymbal, and gong type sounds.

'Each project has an introduction, plus circuit diagram, description, and any necessary constructional and setting up notes being provided. Printed circuit layouts and other detailed constructional information have not been included, and the projects are not really in the "dead simple" category as a certain amount of experience at electronics construction is really needed in order to tackle them confidently. However, anyone who has built up a few simple electronics projects should have little difficulty in building most of the designs featured in this book."

This book is a little rough on the cover with some bends and pen scribbles (I don't know why), but inside it's in good shape. This is a great book for anyone interested in building their own effects or building an analog drum synthesizer (it would probably sound like a Tama Techstar, old Simmons module, or the PAIA DRUM module)'"

Electronic Musical Instruments: What They Do, How They Work

via this auction
"'Electronic Musical Instruments: What They Do, How They Work' by Larry Kettlekamp
Printed in 1984. Hardcover.

"Larry Kettlekamp shows how synthesizers, electronic organs, computer rhythm units, sound processors, and other electronic instruments were developed; how they work and are played; what they are capable of doing; and how they are being used in concerts and recordings."

Lots of nice black and white pictures of gear such as the Minimoog, Korg Polysix, Moog Opus 3 , Moog Liberation, Polymoog, Roland TB-303, Yamaha CS-01, and more. Nice picture of Bob Moog with a Moog Modular, Minimoog, Sonic 6, and accessories, worth the price of the book alone!"

Boss Dr Pad

via this auction

"Classic 80s Boss drum pad/module/synth. Also known as Dr. Pad 1
Works fine but runs better with a Boss power supply than with 9v batteries.

2 x 80s digital gated snares plus tambourine, hand claps, cymbal and timpani. Variable sweep with time and range, decay (note length) pitch sensitivity and pitch allow for quite a lot of tweakability. Variable level output and sensitivity controls on the back panel. You can trigger from external sources via the trigger in.

Play with a virtual version here to hear the basic sounds - the actual unit can vary and bend the sounds much more."

Lost In Time by TSF

YouTube via TheSynthFreq | August 13, 2010

"Hi :)
Here is my new song written today. This song is a "draft" that will be completed and re-uploaded once a few parts are finalized.
The Roland Alpha Juno-1 is controlled by Midi so that its bass patch is controlled by the EMX-1 and timing is precise.
To sequence the bass line, I played the Juno-1 (out to in of the EMX) and recorded it to the EMX. From there I turned the volume down on the [synth] part [1] so that the Juno is the only synth heard, not the EMX.
Another new sound that I wrote on the EMX [synth part 4], is "spaced" sound using the random LFO routed to the pitch of the oscillators in the EMX and the FX send is set to delay/echo.
D-50- a new patch I wrote for it, that is warmer and has more saturation of chorus and reverb through it. T5 of the TVA has been set to T5=65, for the ADSR.

Please enjoy! :)

:) TSF"
