[cubisteffects] modded Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler Feedback Mod

YouTube via cubisteffects | January 28, 2011 |

"This demo is of the [cubisteffects] Line 6 DL4 Feedback Mod. The stomp switch on top of the unit engages the feedback. The two knobs on the side control the intensity of feedback/oscillation (white knob) and the blend of feedback and input signal (black knob).
The mod changes with different modes, the best ones being Tube Echo, Auto Volume and Reverse. Also, the feedback effect changes with drive pedals in front of the DL4, and changes in bridge to neck pickup."

D-50: Initializing patches, PG-1000 setup

YouTube via TheSynthFreq | January 28, 2011 | 3 likes, 0 dislikes
Note the braille.
"A new video explaining the 'init' process of D-50, how to work through a reset of a patch from the ' init' settings and a basic PG-1000 edit. Always check the Chorus settings and the balance of the two L and U first. Set the Chorus parameters to 00's since they are most of the times always going to be set to high values from the init process. This video is not the full length since my iPhone 3GS has a 9min limit and I guess the phone got bored of all my rambling on. lol

Challenger 25th Anniversary Tribute Created with Korg KRONOS Released

"KARMA Developer Stephen Kay, working with the new Korg KRONOS, has released an inspirational and heart-felt tribute song/video to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster which occurs this Friday, January 28, 2011.



Accompanied by his long-time partner David Alvey on guitars and backing vocals, Kay used the new Korg KRONOS to record all of the keyboard, synth and drum parts for the resurrection of his 25 year old original composition 'The Challenger (Where No One's Gone Before)'.

'25 years ago, right after the event when I wrote and recorded a version of this song, the Internet was nothing like it is now," comments Kay. "There was no YouTube, no Facebook or Twitter - no social networking sites and forums to release this on myself. While I received some great responses and positive interest, I was unsuccessful in getting it released back then.'

In early 2010 Kay, now the developer of KARMA Technology at Karma-Lab and a partner with Korg and Yamaha, discovered that the 25th anniversary of the disaster was approaching, so he re-visited his effort and realized that perhaps the song might finally be able to find an appreciative audience.

Kay found a challenge of his own in resurrecting the song: the tracks and the equipment used to play them were now decades old, and it would be difficult to restore them, particularly as the original master tape was decomposing and decaying. He could have re-recorded the song anew, though it had been years since he had regularly performed, but he felt the emotion held in his original performance would be more appropriate and vital. He found help restoring the tapes into new digital files, and brought his old equipment out of storage, including his now 30-year-old Apple II+ computer, which he successfully nursed back into working order.

The story of this process, which he figures may be of most interest to 'musicians and recording geeks,' is related on his site ChallengerTributeSong.com with great care and comprehensive detail, along with the history of the Challenger mission, the astronauts, and other resources related to the production of the song and video:

http://www.ChallengerTributeSong.com

In all, the project took some six months to complete. Not wishing to gain from this financially, he hopes that it will encourage donations to the Challenger Center for Space Science Education, founded by Challenger family members, www.challenger.org. And he merely wishes to once again take the chance to convey the heartfelt message of hope and inspiration to all who would challenge the odds, and to remind the world that 'it¹s with the brave that the future lies.'

Gestures Gear VBlog: Introducing the Yamaha WX7...

YouTube via AccumulatedGestures | January 26, 2011 |

"... to Accumulated Gestures' saxophonist Sean Patrick Little, here playing the instrument for the very first time.

The WX7 is a vintage wind controller made by Yamaha in the late 1980s that is long since out of production. Not having its own built in sound module, the WX7 is here setup to control a Dave Smith Instruments Desktop Evolver via MIDI.

About us:
The Accumulated Gestures are an 8-piece neo-soul/funk band from Perth, Western Australia. With lead vocalist/producer Donovan de Souza being an avid collector of synthesizers and vintage keyboards as well as a current move towards incorporating more synthesizers in our band sound, our Gear VBlog aims to show the strengths and limitations of synth interfaces, synthesizers and other musical gear. The kind of videos Donovan would have liked to see when he was buying electronic gear in the first place.

Find us at: http://www.myspace.com/accumulatedges... or add us on our more frequently updated page on Facebook."

eChucK Standards Document - New Format Hardware Synths

"There’s a new type of music synthesizer on the horizon. It’s simple, elegant, inexpensive, and can take many physical forms. Born out of a desire to make electronic models of software music programs, the e in eChucK is for electronic. The ChucK part refers to my particular favorite music programming language, but that is not important here. What is important is the standard, linked below... [here]

OK, OK, what IS it then? Well, imagine a modular synthesizer with the case and front panels removed. You’ve got a bunch of circuit boards with wires hanging off of them scattered about on a desktop. Now make each board small and simple by reducing it’s design to minimal form. Now the circuit boards are really small and the wires just changed into 22 ga. solid hookup wire. You rearrange the boards onto a panel or in free space, supporting their light weight with the stiff wire, and make your own free-form synth sculpture. Rewire to your heart’s content to make the music that you want. That’s the idea behind eChucK.

To summarize, eChucK is a standard of tiny simplified synth boards wired freely with various miniaturization tricks like thumbwheel pots and micro switches, mini screw terminals for pcb i/o, and plain old wire for hookup."

Original EMS AKS SYNTHI for Auction

via this auction
"100% operational EMS Synthi AKS synthesizer, a true vintage original from the early 1970s. It was bought about 5 years ago from a couple who had stored it in a closet for around 30 years. Literally like finding a low-mileage T-Bird in a little old lady from Pasadena's garage! Everything works: no scratchy pots (except for a slightly scratchy reverb level knob) and no iffy sequencer problems. Just plug it in, make a patch and you're ready to travel the spaceways. Comes with an instruction book, all the original patch pins, connector cable for the keyboard, and of course the power cord. This synthesizer has so much history, I almost feel foolish trying to explain it. Created in England by Peter Zinovieff, Tristram Cary and David Cockrell, this unit (of which only about 750 were ever made), or its counter top brother, the VCS3, has been featured on albums by Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Brian Eno, Alvin Curran, Thomas Lehn, White Noise, Tim Blake, King Crimson, and Jean Michel Jarre. The list goes on and on. This has been described by many as being LSD in a box. It's really all that and more. As mentioned, I have had zero issues with it in the entire time I've owned it, but because of its age I'm selling it as is. The photos don't do it justice, it's a beautiful machine that I think you'll be proud to own as I have for these past 5 years."
