Hand-assembled Shruthi-1 - SSM2044 filter

via this auction, cutie.
"This is brand new music synthesizer of mutabile instruments top brand. Synthesizer goes by the sissy name of Luxette, and is of well-respected Shruthi royal family. Unknown color, unable to determine: shiny look, red when looked from right, blue when looked from left, yellow and green when looked from top. Not unlike soap bubble at all or visiting angels from faraway suns. Hencefore warning: scares birds - all kinds of birds specifically vengeful birds! Some parts are of static color: Touchable extremites are darkness and citrus. Rectangular 32-symbols writing area is of same colour as orange-froot, and shiny dots of enlightment that go blink-blink are orange-coloured too. Rooftop of electric music synthesizer can be removed to reveal circuit of colour of dark forces. To ensure maximal cooperation rooftop should not be left open for normal operation, cutie.

Vibrations are above 20 hz and below 18kHz as perceptible by human auditory organs. Emits audio vibrations not suitable for dogs and house ferrets. Emits song of indian accordion, song of japanese fairy violin, song of african sitar, song of irish pagan seductress flute, and song of american ghetto beat box. May emit voice of universally acclaimed composer Emirson Lake Palmeer. Awesome beauty for Duran Duran karaoke too, had a blast with Sharmila Lady-fox the other day on chauffeur song. Does not emit though song of galactic spaceship fleet, song of baby faced by imminent danger, song of mother nation working towards visionary goal, song of purest mathematical abstraction, and soundtrack of enamoured tapir. Sorry for that. Now come here and let the voice of Shruthi entice you. Come closer, come closer and see the kaleidoscope spiral, cutie.

Shruthi synthesizer device does not have two voices, three voices, four voices, or thirty-two voices even, no, no, no: have one glorious voice, but wise proverb says unicorns have one mighty horn too, unlike polycorns. Comes with shiny expensive electronical components shaped like candy pills, shaped like baby spider, shaped like blue-faced deity of vedic times, and first class, top rate, award-winning music filtering spider from SSM company of decadent usa, model reference number 2044. Good for your prosperity, your health and successful wife, but still not good enough for the enamoured tapir sound. Might be okey-dokey for smitten capybara or infatuated alpaca sounds. Dunno-dunno, cutie.

Does have multiple endearing menus on the board, great variety and first rate selection of options from all eras : vibrating strings, filtration, the little algebraic curves that go up and down and up and down forever or just once, interconnections, device that makes musical progression when single key of input device is pressed to emulate well-respected performer of great skills, 64 kbits of memory for the sounds of your wicked conception. Does have little hole on the back to insert sound-trunk-appendage, hencefore songs recorded from microphone, videocassette or educational organ are slowly traveling through Shruthi filtering spider. Does have pair of medium-sized holes with 5 little holes for entrance and exit of so-called "Music Interchange Data Inlet". Come and plug your keyboard instrument, cutie.

Does not have moving part that goes schwiiin schwiiiiin when rainy weather! Does not come with snorkeling equipment for underwater exploration! Does not have matching towel! Does not have off/on/sleep contraption! Output magnitude is eternally programmed to auspicious value of 8.537. Move your ears more more far away from loudspeaker for softer, mellower, little ball of fur song. Comes with energy coupling device suitable for insurgent democratic countries of Westeuropa, voltage label says nine. Can work with other house-hold energy coupling device of other countries, insurgent, decadent or glorious. I think this is all you need to know, cutie."

StudioBLADE from Music Computing


YouTube via musiccomputing | October 28, 2010

"StudioBLADE™ keyboard production stations represent a giant leap in music production technology. They are simply the most powerful, compact and affordable keyboard production stations available today.

What is a Keyboard Production Station? Keyboard production stations can be loosely defined as keyboard workstations that are connected to a computer, which is needed to provide additional processing power and features. While keyboard workstations are suited for live performance and sketching out ideas for a song, keyboard production stations, with built in high-power computer cores, allow users to go from composition to recording to mixing and finally mastering of songs that are ready for radio or direct Internet distribution.

More Power: StudioBLADEs are powered by high-performance computer cores utilizing Intel® processors that are perfect for today's demanding musicians and the virtual instruments and software applications they use. Running Windows® 7 (64-bit), StudioBLADEs are extremely versatile, powerful and perpetually upgradeable. Base models equipped with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors can be easily upgraded to the latest Intel® Core™ i5 processors for even more performance.

Running Windows® 7 (64-bit), StudioBLADEs are extremely versatile, powerful and perpetually upgradeable. Base models equipped with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors can be easily upgraded to the latest Intel® Core™ i5 processors for even more performance.

StudioBLADEs are available in 61-key and an 88-key versions, perfect for live or studio use. The waterfall keys are velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted action, and are professional in feel and ultra roadworthy. Pitch and Mod wheels as well as octave up and down buttons with indicators are included and after touch capabilities complete the playing experience.

See More Clearly: StudioBLADEs are equipped with a built-in telescoping and tiling 10.1" touch screen that adjusts to your desired viewing angle, making it extremely ergonomic to use. StudioBLADEs also provide two (2) additional external video ports so the user can run up to three (3) monitors simultaneously in cloned or extended desktop mode.

Controls with Feedback: Built into each StudioBLADE are Music Computing's ControlDAW™ midi controller and GeoMIDI™ midi mapping software. ControlDaw presents the user with four (4) banks of eight (8) plus one (1) master channel strips each with three (3) mappable encoders with LED indicator light rings, one (1) knobs for panning, solo and mute buttons and a high-quality fader. An 8X8 grid of lighted pads (64 total) is also provided that can be used as drum trigger pads, a Monome (with appropriate software) or as a trigger pad for sequences, etc. Controls for note-repeat enabled software and transport buttons are included as well as real-time feedback between the controllers and software making ControlDAW the ultimate midi controller for music production.

Hear the Difference: The standard configuration for StudioBLADEs include a 24bit-48 kHz audio I/O with two (2) combo XLR & ¼" mic/instrument 48V phantom power inputs, two (2) balanced outputs and a stereo headphone jack. The optional upgrade gives you a 24bit-96 kHz audio I/O with two (2) combo XLR & ¼" mic/instrument 48V phantom power inputs, six (6) ¼" balanced inputs (line-level), two balanced outputs and a stereo headphone jack. StudioBLADEs also offer Firewire ports in the event outboard audio I/O or other Firewire devices are needed.

Thousands of Sounds: Music Computing's SonicSource™ is a robust VSTi synth containing over 8GB of sound presets that is included with each StudioBLADE, ready to use right out of the box. Additional sound presets will be made available on a regular basis from Music Computing, enabling the user to compose with even more creativity.

Ground-Breaking Price: In the past, keyboard production stations or keyboard workstations outfitted with external computers were relatively expensive, leaving the average person to only dream about owning one. Well-equipped StudioBLADEs start at only $2,599, making them an affordable tool virtually any musician can afford.

Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V Sequencer-less Multi Mode Demonstration: JdM, NutekK Labs 'Stubenhocker'


YouTube via nutekklabs | November 12, 2010

"The Waldorf PPG 3.V is the reincarnation of the PPG Wave Synthesizer which was originally developed by Wolfgang Palm, who is also the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis. Wolfgang Palm was brought back on board to assist in the development process of PPG 3.V. Included in this demonstration of the Release Version 1.0 are some of Mr. Palms favorite patches from Jay de Miceli's factory bank (019 Eternally Resistant, 023 H A A R P E D).

All Sounds in the Stubenhocker demonstration are from JdM's (Jay de Miceli) factory content, utilizing the PPG's Multi Mode. The composition was completed without the use of an external sequencer, using only a combination of the Arpeggiator and the SEMITONE-KEY mode, along with some careful modulation routing to improvise a nifty sequencer. The finished sound is achieved by using only the on board effects and EQ. In fact the only thing that was not from Waldorf was use of the Allen and Heath Zone 92 filter and a bit of compression. The whole piece uses 8 voices with a modest CPU hit of no more than 4% of an Intel i7.

Jay de Miceli's factory bank includes his one of a kind Vinyl Attack drum sounds which he uses beautifully in Stubenhocker, showcasing the ability to achieve club ready drums and percussion with the PPG 3.V right out of the box."

Kraftzwerg as an IDM-Groovemachine


YouTube via traumaduo | November 12, 2010

"A 4 Voice!!!-Jam
with the monophonic synthesizer Kraftzwerg

4 "Midi to CV"-Tracks were used for controlling the 3 Oscillators individually.

The 1st Midi-Track controls the Frequency of Oscillator 1 and sends the appropriate Trigger Signal to Envelope 1. Env. 1 is connected with the Filter.

The 2nd Midi-Track contains also Frequency- and Trigger-Signals. But this ones controls Osc. 2.
Osc 2 is connected to the VCA who is controlled by the Envelope 2.
This produces the higher Percussive Effects.

The 3rd Midi-Track sends the Frequency (Pitch) to Osc. 3.
Because the Kraftzwerg has not more Envelopes or Mixers left, Osc. 3
is modulated by the Autofilter of Ableton Live with a Sample&Hold.
This Midi-Track plays the lower Bassline.

The 4th Midi Track contains very short Frequency-Voltages for Osc. 3. This Notes plays the higher Melody.

Due to the fact that Osc. 3 is processed by a Reverb and a Delay and the Pitch changements are very short, you got the impression of hearing a duophonic Melody sorting out from Oscillator 3!

Also a separate Midi Track was recorded with CC-Datas from the Kaosspad.
The Kaosspad is processing OSC 1 and 2 from the Kraftzwerg nearly like a random-processor.

I added also some connections from both LFO's to the Oscillator 1 and 2."

MOOG OPUS 3

via this auction
"The Moog OPUS 3 is a polyphonic analog synthesizer with a 49-note (C-C) keyboard.

The OPUS 3 features three sections - strings, organ and brass. Each offers a single VCO for sound generation. The oscillators' ranges vary from 8' - 4' (string) to 16' - 1' (organ). For the organ and brass parts there's a resonant multi-mode (low, high, band-pass) VCF, with its own envelope generators and controls for cut-off and resonance. A switch to choose between preset and manual filter modes for the brass is also featured. A simple LFO can be routed to FM or VCF modulation, and has controls for amount, delay (up to 20 seconds) plus rate. VCA controls only include volume panning for the stereo outputs.

A chorus effect is available for the string and organ sections, with adjustable depth, delay and rate. Other features include the tuning knob and pitch bend wheel. There is only a single preset sound for each section, with no user programmable patch section."
