"Carmella" - with Roland D-20


YouTube via organfairy | September 28, 2010

"Strangely enough some notes are missing. I think the reason is that the Roland can only process a limited amount of notes at the same time.

I made this song as a workstation file where the D-20 plays on it's own while controlling the Yamaha HE-8 organ and the Roland JX-8P synthesizer. But since it can become a little boring just to watch the instrument play by itself I did a little montage about a recent repair of the disc drive.

The song was originally recorded by Taco Ockerse and release on his 1982 album 'After Eight' though in some parts of the world this album was released as 'Puttin' on the ritz'."

E-mu Emulator III EIII Sampler SN 038464


via this auction

"E-mu Systems Emulator III sampler keyboard, model number 6081 and serial number 038464. It is running the latest firmware (2.00) and operating system (2.42)... The EIII is the most powerful digital sampler with analog filters ever produced. The analog processing section has the same analog filters - the Curtis Electromusic CEM3387 - as the Waldorf Wave and Microwave synthesizers, among others. And its famous users include Depeche Mode (on "Violator") and New Order (on "Technique")...

This EIII has fully expanded memory (8 MB) and a 1GB CompactFlash card installed in lieu of the old, unreliable hard drive. The CompactFlash card is loaded with the complete "Emulator Standards" sample library volumes one and two. It also includes the E-mu Systems "Universal Sound Test" bank, which you will need if you plan to calibrate the machine or have a technician perform any maintenance. And if you ever wish to re-connect the original 40 MB hard drive (though why would you), it is functioning properly and mounted in the keyboard chassis...

restored by Jeff Blenkinsopp at EARS in New York City [see this post], one of the three best synth technicians in the New York tri-state area. Jeff stripped the machine down, cleaned all the cards, connectors and ribbon cables, re-capped the power supply and restored the original floppy drive. After Jeff returned it to me, I repaired the original internal hard drive and installed the CompactFlash card."

Shots of the inside after the hop. As always if you are considering bidding, be sure to read the description in full at the auction.

If you send me a message I will email you some samples of the synth being played. This synth has a noise oscillator, and the LFO has sample and hold and sine wave settings. It has an external audio input so you can put other audio through the synths filter."

New Buchla Modules - 223e, 296, and 260e

http://buchla.com
Update: prices added after each description below.
via Ross / cray5656 / vicmod

"Model 296e SPECTRAL PROCESSOR

A 16 channel bandpass filter with built-in analysis and synthesis capability, the 296e can function as a real time performance filter, a programmable compound equalizer and even as a spectrum transferring vocoder.

Center frequencies are selected to complement the ear’s discrimination curve. Each frequency band has its own VCA input and envelope follower output, allowing for rather intricate transformations. The 296e can be split into two 8 band filters, with vocoding interconnections internally provided, or two 296e’s can be cascaded (with a behind-the-panel connection) with one performing spectral analysis, and the other synthesis.

A unique user interface can present instantaneous envelopes, thus creating a real time spectrum display, or two response curves may be entered, stored and edited in real time. Modulation may be applied to the response curves, creating some rather strange effects, and a “freeze” facility allows for storage of the instantaneous envelopes.

Envelope decay times are adjustable, and pre-emphasis may be applied to smooth the frequency response when vocoding.

All settings can be stored as presets in systems with a 225e or a 206e preset manager." $4600

"Model 223e TACTILE INPUT PORT

You don’t care for spatial control? The 223e substitutes an innovative arpeggiator for the rings of the 222e

This three panel unit tactile sensor responds to a feather-weight touch, or to several pounds of pressure. An additional (1 panel unit) module houses the outputs, the arpeggiator controls, and the edit facility.

The tactile surface is normally mounted in the first row of a 201e-12 or 201e-18 cabinet: alternatively, it may be mounted in the recently announced 201e-3u frame, relieving spatial binds in crowded systems.

An ergonomic array of 27 keys sense pressure and velocity; fourteen respond to location in one or two dimensions. Arrayed into multiple user-defined groups ranging in size from 1 to 25 keys, they produce a variety of user-programmed control voltages.

Location, pressure, impact and tuned voltages, as well as pulses, are presented at a total of 30 outputs. The LCD based user interface is remarkably simple and flexible. The arpeggiator features multiple patterns, internal and external clocks, and many other sundry features.

All settings, including key programming, can be memorized and recalled by the 225e or 206e preset manager" $2550

"Model 260e DUOPHONIC PITCH CLASS GENERATOR

The Model 260e Duophonic Pitch Class Generator consists of two independent, voltage controlled pitch class generators. (A pitch class generator produces a singular pitch in every perceivable octave.) Frequency modulation inputs and a five band spectrum-shaping facility are provided.

When switched to the "barber pole" mode, an internal computer takes over pitch control of both generators, and issues pulses for triggering an external envelope generator (a model 281e, for example), which in turn can drive a voltage controlled amplifier (like a model 292e dynamics manager). When the 260e's output signals are gated through the latter, Shepard tones and other auditory illusions (such as the tri-tone paradox) may be produced.

The rate of change is variable to 2.5 octaves per second in either direction, and is voltage controllable. Additionally, the pitch intervals can be adjusted from quarter-tones to tri-tones to continuous (for Risset tones).

With its multi-voicing, equalization, envelope shaping, and frequency modulation capabilities, you will find the 260e musically more interesting than the standard Shepard tone generator employed in perceptual psychology experiments.

The settings of the 260e can be stored and retrieved as numbered presets with a model 225e or 206e preset manager." $900

Roland TR-808 with Mods


via this auction

"At all times, you hear the very 808 I'm selling here.
The recordings are not altered, I have justed added some plugin compression to even out the sounds.
[Note these are hosted on http://www.gearslut.net] - if anyone knows the page with the links there, let me know and I'll update the post.]

Sample 1:
First, standard snare (no cable inserted).
Then, when the BD kicks in, some white noise from a Korg MS20 plugin is inserted into the 808's snare circuit.
You can hear when I open the LP filter of the MS20 plug at 0:14, leading to a brighter snare sound.

Sample 2:
A bright synth pad is routed to the CYMB / HH circuit of the 808.
Then I'm tweaking the Cymbal sound on the 808.
From 0:15 to 0:20 you hear the untreated 808 Cymbals, then the cable with the external synth pad is plugged in again.

Sample 3:
Different kinds of ext. noise routed to CYMB / HH.
Later in the clip, I'm demoing the switch toggling the reverb of the Claps (on/off).
After that you hear a cheesy synth pad routed through the 808's clap circuit."
