"### A Description mistake was made while rendering the movie. Instead of "A Vactrol...." it was supposed to say: "Total control over the functions of the KOMA Elektronik pedals with the onboard KOMA Elektronik Expression Controller!"

More information:
http://www.koma-elektronik.com (the official development blog)

All the pedals KOMA Elektronik will release in the fall of 2011 (KOMA BD101, KOMA FT201, KOMA HN104 & KOMA SH103) will have a special innovative expression controller built in which allows the musician to control all the features of the pedal by just moving their foot, hand or any other body part over the bottom of the pedal.

The CV signal of the onboard expression controller will be an output on the patchbay, which is also featured on all the pedals. This way the musican can control all the functions on the pedal without even touching the pedal! For instance, when you use our delay & Gating pedal, the KOMA BD101, you can control the LFO speed, gate amount, delay time & feedback of the effect, while playing your instrument! No need for external expression pedals anymore, with the KOMA FX pedal series it all comes in one package! Total control!

organfairy's first synthesizer - expander

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Mar 15, 2011

"After making the sequencer for my first synthesizer I am making an expander - a box with some extra filters and envelope generators.

Instead of just showing the building process I am gong into details about a simple VCA that I am using in this design. It is made using just a diode and a resistor so it is quite simple.

The music that goes with this video is something I made in 2004 on a Yamaha HE-8 organ, Roland JX-8P synthesizer, and Roland Rhythm Arranger analogue drum machine."

KORG DW 6000 HQ DEMO - SYNTHESIZER 1985

YouTube Uploaded by AnalogAudio1 on Mar 15, 2011

"The KORG DW-6000 "digital waveform synthesizer" came out 1985. DW stands for "digital waveform". Few months later, Korg presented an updated version, the DW-8000.

The KORG DW-6000 has 6 notes polyphony, 8 waveforms (including sawtooth, but no pulse or square, which is a pity), and superb 24db analog filters - one for every voice (unlike the Poly-800). There is also a chorus, which can be switched on or off. It has an UNISONO mode, which helps you to get fat basses. 2 envelope generators (ADBSSR). MIDI interface, SysEx abilities. Tape interface to load/store soundbanks.

The basic sound of the DW-6000 is somewhere between Poly-800 MK1 and DW-8000. To my ears it sounds more like a Poly-800.
You can produce some decent sounds with the DW-6000 - which you can't exactly duplicate on a DW-8000.

In this clip I played the DW-6000 dry, without any external effects.
____________________________________________________________

THE SOUND PROGRAMS IN THIS MOVIE:

Do you have a DW-6000 and want to play with the powerful sounds you are hearing here? I will send you the "ANALOGAUDIO1 DW-6000 PATCH BANK" (64 sounds) via email for 12,99 Euros (through PayPal).
You will get a MP3 with sound data for the tape interface of your DW-6000. (How the tape interface works, is described in the manual of the DW-6000, which you can download for free somewhere in the internet).

The bank contains lush analog pads, great retro sounds, fat basses, sequencer sounds and funky leads (in one word: all you are hearing in this video and some more).

These sounds are mainly suited for electronica, techno pop, disco, dance, trance and classic electronic music (Jarre, Vangelis, etc..).

As an experienced synth player / programmer I programmed these special sounds carefully - these sounds are not available anywhere else!

The soundbank will not work with the DW-8000 / EX-8000.

If you are interested, please drop me a mail.
______________________________________________________________
DEUTSCH: zu den Sounds im Video:

Wollt ihr euren DW-6000 mit den hier gehörten, phatten Analogsounds aufwerten? Für 12,99 Euro (über PayPal oder Überweisung) bekommt ihr die "ANALOGAUDIO1 DW-6000 PATCHBANK" mit 64 first class Sounds - als MP3 via eMail. Diese MP3 wird durch das TAPE INTERFACE des DW-6000 eingespielt.

Die "ANALOG AUDIO 1" Soundcollection verhilft den verstaubten DW-6000 zum neuen Glanz - mit organischen, rohen Bässen, funky Leads, warmen Analog-Pads, Sequencer-Sounds, fetten Retro-Sounds (also alles was man im Video hört und ein paar mehr). Also eine Art Frischzellenkur.

Als DW-6000 Kenner habe ich die Soundbank mit viel Liebe zum Detail programmiert. Diese zeitlosen Klänge unterstreichen den analogen Charakter des DW-6000. Sie eignen sich für Electronica, Electropop, klassische EM oder für andere Styles, wo echt analoge Power gefragt ist. Diese Sounds sind übrigens nirgendwo anders erhältlich. 12,99 Euro, die wirklich gut "hörbar" investiert sind... auch fühlbar.

PS: Die Sounds funktionieren nur mit dem DW-6000, also nicht mit DW-8000/EX-8000.

Bei Interesse schickt mir bitte eine Mail."

Earthquakes off the east coast of Honshu, Japan - Friday March 11, 2011 by Micah Frank

The above by Micah Frank was featured on PBS.org here.

"What would an earthquake sound like if we could hear it?

Micah Frank, a sound programmer from Brooklyn, has attempted to answer that question by producing aural interpretations of the seismic activity from Japan’s earthquake. Frank is the founder of the Tectonic Project, which aggregates earthquake data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and turns it into sound sculptures in real time. These soundscapes paint a chilling aural portrait of disasters like the one in Japan.

'I listen to some of these, and they are really sort of haunting,' Frank said in an interview Friday."

RIP Mr. Tsutomu Katoh - Founder of KORG

A letter via Seiki Kato, President of KORG Inc.

"Dear Sirs and Madams,

I would like to inform you that our founder and chairman Mr. Tsutomu Katoh passed away early this morning (March 15, 2011) after a long fight with cancer.

Since he founded Korg Inc. in 1963, Mr. Katoh has led our company with great talent, vision and leadership. He was loved and respected by all the employees, all Korg family members and made a huge contribution to the lives of countless musicians around the world.

Plans for a memorial service will follow very soon.

I would appreciate your prayers for him and hope he can rest peacefully now.

Sincerely,

Seiki Kato
President
Korg Inc."

Tsutomu Katoh and the History of Korg

Another hero lost; one of the first to define the world of synthesis as we know it. The gifts he gave us will always be remembered and will inspire new synth enthusiasts and musicians for decades to come. Tsutomu Katoh-san, you will be missed. Thank you for everything you gave us.

Via Wikipedia: "Founded in 1962 in Japan by Tsutomu Kato and Tadashi Osanai, Korg was originally known as Keio Gijutsu Kenkyujo Ltd." and later "Keio Electronic Laboratories (京王技術研究所^?) because its fledgling offices were located near the Keio train line in Tokyo and Keio can be formed by combining the first letters of Kato and Osanai. Before founding the company, Kato ran a nightclub. Osanai, a Tokyo University graduate and noted accordionist, regularly performed at Kato's club accompanied by a Wurlitzer Sideman rhythm machine. Unsatisfied with the rhythm machine, Osanai convinced Kato to finance his efforts to build a better one..." And indeed they did.

This sad news in via Amos of Moog Music and Michelle Moog-Koussa of the Bob Moog Foundation.

Update: some condolences and pics on the KORG Forum here.

Some video of the legacy of instruments he brought us with a rare interview in Part 1 (previously posted):

Sonica Synth w/ Serge Oscillator by Frank Evanoff

via this auction

"In 1979, the first Sonicas were produced, a collaboration with Larry Heller. There were 650 built, but very few are seen nowadays. Serge Tcherepnin of Serge synthesizers (producer of high-end modular synths!) did the oscillator design, and the oscillator inside the Sonica is indeed a Serge oscillator. The neck is incredibly comfortable, and easily fits into the hand, facilitating the sliding action used for playing the Sonica. Creator Frank Eventoff's neighbor in Silverlake was a modelmaker and carved the bodies - they produced them in runs of 24 at a time. The body is made from finely hand-carved mahogany. Donna Summer bought one of the runs of 24 and created a Sonica Orchestra.

The sound of the Sonica can best be described as somewhere between a sitar and violin. When run through a simple delay, an amazing array of soundscapes are derived. The front panel features a Key/Pitch Knob, and an On/Off Volume Knob. It also features three buttons. "Slider," which is a tremolo type effect, "Tone," which is actually a tonal boost, and "Half-Step," which raises the note an octave. It features a built-in speaker, with an 1/8 inch output to connect to an amplifier or recording device. It runs on one 9-volt battery which is installed by accessing a plate on the backside of the device. The Sonica really shines when sent through a tube amplifier, producing a crystalline sound unlike anything I've heard before."

Custom Red & Black Circuit Bent Roland MC-505

via this auction

"So, what's new on this machine?
Aside from the stellar paint job and wooden ends from http://www.customsynth.co.uk I applied a mini breadboard to give the MC-505 a patchbay for the nineteen or so newly-added contacts. This was a lot harder than it sounds, considering the casing is metal (always a risk of shorting connections) and there's not a lot of space to work with when reassembled. In the end, I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out..even if it took a few months.

This machine now allows you to short out only the sounds, but keep all the other functions intact. Everything behaves as normal when the breadboard is or isn't in use. The resulting audio is largely unpredictable but can be reproduced if noted. Think of it as the heaviest sequencer Roland never made.

Furthermore, all green LEDs were replaced with red (except for the main playback indicator at the middle top), the white buttons/keys were whitened with retr0bright, and the LCD screen was replaced with a snazzy, new red-on-black unit.

This project was something of a proof of concept which turned out to be pretty fun. This is certainly a one-of-a-kind piece that I never really intended on keeping for very long. Now it just needs a good home where someone will use it on a regular basis.

Those who might be interested in this unit would also be a fan of Metasonix gear, NIN's Year Zero album, Ed Banger-style techno, EBM, Nitzer Ebb among many other noisy electronic styles. /namedrop

All audio below is direct from the MC-505 with absolutely zero post-effects/EQ. Expect to hear some patch switching, knob twiddling and adjustments on the breadboard though. All patterns used were simple presets.

So, what's included?

- Modified Roland MC-505
- Power cable
- Nine mini jumper wires for patch creation
- A copy of each vinyl release on Radiograffiti
- A free copy of each album released by our DIY label from now on.

So, anything else I should know?

There are a few minor paint errors on the front panel which happened while at customsynth. I tried to take photos of this (apologies for the grainy shots), so please look them over to see if this is going to drive you nuts. I found that it's barely even noticeable when in use.

If you have two or more connections on the breadboard, please remember to remove the jumper wires before you power up the machine. Sometimes it will hang on power up *if* you forget to remove them. It's completely harmless...but it will cause a small heart attack when you forget and see that it's not powering on. Simply remove the connections, unplug the unit, wait a minute, and power it back up.

The breadboard has seventeen rows with five tie points in each row. Because there are only about nineteen connections made, only the center nine or ten rows (of five each) have any effect when used. This should be an ample amount of connection points for anyone.

The value wheel has been replaced, but the values still skip by two when cycling through at high speeds. This leads me to believe that it might be an OS issue, but don't quote me on that.

I've used this particular unit extensively for over three years now with zero issues, but considering the nature of circuit bent gear, the sale will be final with no returns. Contact me in the off-chance something does happen."

In first step you listen a simply demo in usually quality. Later follows a demo with 24 instruments made in DSR-2000.

Library Ash EP is of the genre "wtfpop." FM oscillator storms, a chiptune cover of Aphex Twin, and plenty of vocal pitchwarp.
