Neurohedron: Overview

Neurohedron: Overview from Tedb0t on Vimeo.

"The Neurohedron is a novel music instrument and multimodal software controller that I conceived of as a nonlinear sequencer—a three dimensional hardware interface with twelve nodes arranged as a dodecahedron. With this structure, there is no clear or de facto path that the progression from one step to the next may take, unlike the linear and prescribed nature of a traditional sequencer. In conjunction with its neural-network-based software, the Neurohedron is a tool for shaping improvisational composition and performance.

SK-Synth: A subtractive FPGA synthesizer

via stekern on electro-music.com where you will find more info including samples and download links.

"This is a project I have been working on for a while.
It is a subtractive synthesizer implemented in an FPGA.
Features:
* 2 DCO's with sawtooth, square, triangle and sine waveform generation
* LFO that can be modulate the filter, amplitude or pitch. Possible waveforms are: sawtooth, square and triangle.

* LP-12 filter with adjustable frequency and resonance.
* Filter envelope
* Amplitude envelope.

I have been using a Avnet spartan 3A devboard with a breakoutboard with midi connector and a I2S DA-converter.
In this device the polyphony is set to 8 voices, but it is easily adjustable in the VHDL-source code. I also have received reports that it is easy to implement several SK-Synths to achieve multitimbrality (on a spartan-3e board).

The synth is controlled by a computer application written in Qt and it runs on both Linux and Windows.

Using the Snyderphonics Manta on the Android Lust Animalia Tour

Using the Snyderphonics Manta on the Android Lust Animalia Tour from Christopher Jon on Vimeo.

"I recently returned from a five week tour with Android Lust where I played the Manta as my main instrument . The Manta is a touch sensitive instrument interface which can be programmed in an environment such as Max/MSP.

For this tour the Manta was controlling a Virus Rack and a Mono Evolver via a patch I wrote in Max For Live. I'm also processing Shikhee's vocals in real time (with a granular Max For Live effect) and controlling the parameters with the Manta in "centroid" mode (turns it into an XY multitouch surface).

Sorry for the spotty sound (camera microphone).

Vintage Sequential Prophet T8 w/ Road Case, Extras

via this auction

"Here's a rare find - A killer vintage early 80s monster polysynth package for your consideration. Enclosed please find one 1983 Sequential Circuits Prophet T8 8-Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer (recently serviced and working perfectly), a flight case (not pictured), T8 MIDI Guide, original manual, full set of schematics and valuable Wine Country Productions extras: A Prophet T8 Long Term Survival Kit and T8 Diagnostic ROM... fantastic polyphonic aftertouch keyboard (which was quickly licensed and put into production by New England Digital for the Synclavier VPK keyboard) and flexible programming possibilities.

Regarding the state of the instrument: As mentioned in the description, this T8 was recently serviced by a top tech here in LA and works as new. It is worth pointing out that the keyboard mechanism is in excellent condition (the tech mentioned that it was the nicest-playing and feeling T8 he'd ever worked on), which is an important consideration when considering a T8 purchase. All controls work fine, and I've tried to include photos which accurately convey a sense of its physical condition. There are some scuffs and scratches here and there, which is to be expected for a 27-year-old instrument. However, none of these affect its operation in any way whatsoever. Please note that one NOS replacement knob and one LED panel switch are included with the Long Term Survival Kit, but neither of these is currently needed (unless the buyer felt like replacing one of the slightly scratched knobs with the one from the kit.) More info on the kit and the Diagnostic ROM can be found here: http://www.winecountrysequential.com/t8.html You can hear some sound examples of this particular T8 here: http://soundcloud.com/majorhavoc/sets/sequential-prophet-t8-sound-examples If you're reading this, I assume you know what this instrument is and what it can do, but some basic background can be found here: http://www.synthmuseum.com/sequ/seqprot801.html"

TINYSIZER analog modular synthesizer.
This time more in the ambient / electronica style to show some more

by nature, i made some overdubs and recorded them in Ableton Live.
All sounds, even the drums are from the TINYSIZER."

"This is a very short, not enough information given, video of the Music From Outer Space company's Sound FX Synthesizer, of which I bought 2 x circuit boards to build synths from.
For some odd reason, I don't explain WHAT the synth is made up of, until the end. Go figure! HAhahahaha.
Anyhoo ... the sound fx potential from this guy, is huge. I'm majorly impressed and can't wait to get the 2nd one built. Once it's done as well I'll be able to get a better idea as whether to buy more of them or not. Already, barely playing with it for a few minutes - I am DAMN impressed and will more than likely, be ordering more - to set them up for 'patches' that I ilke, to be able to manipulate at will, whilst recording live improv. stuff. :)

Damned, impressive. :o"

AS Europa Sequencer Tutorial #01 - Europa and TBX-303

YouTube via rezfilter | October 03, 2010

"Europa & TBX-303 - a complementary pair.

This video is a basic overview of the Analogue Solutions Europa MIDI sequencer / drum computer [www.analoguesolutions.com].

In the video, we see how to construct a basic pattern (drum beat) using the internal sequencer. The Europa is connected to both an Ensoniq ASR-10 (drum sample source) as well as an AS TBX-303 (synth).

The video also demonstrates the live transpose, and mute features of the Europa while a sequence is running. Additionally, at the end of the video, the AS Oberkorn MK3 is plugged in and synced to the Europa's clock - the Oberkorn controls a sequence on a Sequential Circuits Pro One synth."

Simmons SDSV Electronic Drum Brain

via this auction
"The Simmons SDSV or SDS5 as it was also called needs no introduction to the Electronic drumming world.

The SDS-V was hailed as “the world's first fully electronic drum kit.” It was first heard on Spandau Ballet's 1981 hit, “Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) and later on ABC's hit "Poison arrow". After that, it caught on with many 80s musicians and was featured by such bands as Duran Duran and Rush.

It consisted of the now famous Hexagon pads and a modular, rack mount brain. The standard kit came with five modules, kick, snare and three toms. Simmons modules are extremely rare but one which is fully populated is even more so!

This auction is for an original fully populated rack mount brain comprising of Kick, Snare and five tom modules! I also have the original pads (2 x Kick pads, 1 snare pad, 5 tom pads in white with black riot shield type playing surface ie hard with aluminium trim) which are NOT included in this auction, though I may list seperately in the future."
