Live EMS Synthi and Voice of Saturn

Latest tracks by recompas

"The performance took place in an installation where the audience consisted of 6 people, each with a set of headphones. They sat inside a space somewhat inspired by native american teepee's and other native structures that was meant to inspire a calm state of meditation or induce a dreamlike state with the materials used in construction and the video being projected on the cieling part. The recordings are of 6 separate performances."

"Playing around with my DIY synth.

t's a 3-VCO analog synth that has a transistor ladder VCF, two ADSRs, two LFOs, a ring modulator, and a noise generator. I'm not actually playing but automatically driving using dual LFO that are synchronizing each other."

KORG monotron mod. experiment / VCOもう一個つけてみました

YouTube via gajeanalog | April 24, 2010 |

"I've got this nice analog synth newly released by Korg. The synth itself is fun to play, but I want to add another oscillator to enrich the sound. This is my first experiment to add a VCO to Monotron. The 2nd oscillator output is sent to VCF as well as the first oscillator (i.e. the original). This can do soft sync also.

The mod. info including schematics is uploaded at http://gaje.jp/projects/synth_effect/...

Also check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcxOsy... [below]
The embeded version is introduced there from 4:33.

KORG の新製品のアナログシンセ monotron そのままでも十分楽しいですが、VCO がもう一個あるともっと楽しそうだと思いました。

DIY Optigan / Orchestron Disc Player

YouTube via gajeanalog | December 12, 2010 | 1 likes, 0 dislikes

"Check out the article http://gaje.jp/projects/synth_effect/...

Optigan and Orchestron are optical organs manufactured in 1970s. One day I heard the sound and liked them, and thought I wanted to play them. However their manufacturing were terminated long time ago and nearly impossible for me to obtain. But the discs are still available, so I have a chance if I build the player by myself.

This is my DIY optical organ built from analog record turntable. It supports both Optigan and Orchestron discs."

Oneness

YouTube via attorks | December 13, 2010 |

"It is very hard to be original if you have uploaded so many videos to YouTube. I think this video is more of the same but yet a little different. Like most of my videos, the music in this video is totally improvised on the sequences I pre-programmed; hope you will like it.
Anyway, the video starts with some arpeggiated notes from the Waldorf Q Keyboard after which the sequences from the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO/Blacet MiniWave voice, the self-built Modular and the Synthesizers.com Modular are brought up; these are all 8 step sequences from the Doepfer MAQ16/3 and the Synthesizer.com Q960. Also some noise percussion is added provided by the Formant noise module filtered by the CGS high-pass filter. The Mellotron strings are provided by the Roland XP-80 and the solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

The title refers to the oneness between my friend Anne and I.

You see here the first 15 minutes of a 23 minute video. You can see/hear/download the video and music from my website soon."

YAMAHA SS-30 rare vintage analog string synth

via this auction
"Very rare yamaha ss 30 vintage string synth , never released in the US
- often compared to the ARP Solina String Synth .

A chunky (its heavy, 20kg!!) wood veneered string synth from the 70's. Its a dedicated string synth with all the control needed to make those 70's string sounds. It really has a rich and lush sound , wonderfully simple and effective controls.

Control section running from left to right
pitch/ detune - The outer pot adjusts the overall tuning and the inner pot detunes the voices against the pitch which can produce a wonderful thickening effect ( some sources describe this synth as a duphonic/ multiphonic ,others describe it as a 4 voice polyphonic. It uses divide down chips enabling all keys to be played at once)

Orchestra -Depth ( Speed 1/2 ,cello ,violin ) A great ensemble effect with 2 different effect types (speed) and the ability to separate the effect between cello and violin ( so you can have ,for example cello effect and violins dry )

Vibrato ,Delay/Depth- Very nice vibrato effect.

Sustain, Cello /Violin - sustain 1 control each for cello and violin giving again the ability to have separate amount of sustain for cello and violin sections . Very short to very long .

Keyboard split 0/1/2/3 .0 setting is no split and just the violin sound over the whole range. 1 gives a split with the lowest octave for cellos the rest strings. 2 setting gives 1 and a half octaves to the cello . 3 gives 2 octaves to the cello. The splits are indicated by a white dot above the note on the control panel

Cello ,Volume, attack/slow ,cello1/cello2 - control section for cellos giving control over attack fast/slow. Choice of 2 cello sounds.

Violin Attack/Slow, Viola/violin1/Violin2 /Volume - Same as cello control section though the volume is at the far right.

Brilliance Cello/Violin Very usable low pass filter for cello and violin."

Appegiator , poly mode ,chord memory ..korg really piled in the options."
