Hope for Japan - Soundtrack

YouTube Uploaded by SuricateHill on Apr 8, 2011

"This is my track "Some hope is always there". I composed it as my personal share for the terrible incidents that happened in Japan last weeks. It's a soundtrack/score-thing, divided into several parts according to the different happenings.
Note: I know the video itselfs is'nt very great - if someone would do better please contact me.
For insiders: nearly all of the sounds used were done by a Clavia NordWave Synthesizer, mixing in Cubase.

Enjoy listening
-Andreas"

KOMA Elektronik - BD101 prototype - Musikmesse 2011

YouTube Uploaded by KOMAelektronik on Apr 10, 2011

"Christian from KOMA Elektronik shows the prototype of the KOMA BD101 Analog Gate and Delay at the 2011 Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany.

KOMA BD101: Mangle and cut your sound apart with an innovative vactrol controlled analog delay circuit in combination with a fully adjustable wide range frequency gate. It sounds like you're playing your instrument on the porch outside of your house and inside your amp is slowly sinking in the toilet, CV controlled of course. This might sound strange, but that's just what this pedal is about: create weird resonant frequencies, shift between heavy delayed sounds and super short pulses, with whatever instrument you want to plug into it. The BD101 comes standard with a solid footswitch, multiple inputs, an audio and control voltage patchbay and our new innovative expression controller."

Farfisa Soundmaker - Italian Analogue Mono-Poly synth

via this auction

"Built from 1979 to 1981, this thing cost around £900 new (this model was bought in 1982, I think I've got the receipt somewhere!) which put it in competition with some pretty serious hardware. It also explains why it's so rare. It was in production until just before MIDI, the Prophet 600 and Juno 106 came along, but looks like it's from an entirely different era. The whole keyboard and front panel are angled slightly forwards, as it was designed to sit on top of a combo organ or piano (although a snazzy stand was also available as you'll see from the promotional literature included)."

Roland TR-909

via this auction

"The classic House/Techno/Electro drum machine. The 909 is a strong/hard hitting analog drum machine. Samples do not do it justice, especially since you can tweak songs as it plays.

This 909 is in amazing condition. There are a few LIGHT scratches on the casing that are barely noticeable. The case, knobs and jacks are perfect. See the pictures."

"This was a commission for Chris Wing (www.winganimation.com) who lives in San Francisco and writes cool dub tracks.

I have only used six patch combinations in the video, but there are literally thousands to explore.

The box has MIDI in and out, and a switch to route the drum machine's audio signal through a 'voice modulator' section, which has pitch and LFO controls.

Apologies for the inferior drum programming - I'm looking forward to hearing Chris do it justice!"

"He only used six patch combinations in the video, but there are literally thousands to explore. The box has MIDI in and out, and a switch to route the drum machine's audio signal through a 'voice modulator' section, which has pitch and LFO controls. I have labeled very simply the basic buttons/knobs but if you know them well you can easily remove these! But they are handy to familiarize initially... It takes 6xAA Batteries and has a really cool multi-colour-changing "on" light."

Rare CRUMAR ORGANIZER 2

via this auction

Videos below.

"You are looking at a Mega Rare CRUMAR ORGANISER 2 SYNTHESISER DOUBLE KEYBOARD... Tonnes of Drawbars to play with, amazing Fat Analogue Hammond Sounds with a great Analogue Rythm section Called the NERVE CENTRE.
if your lookign for a Fatte Hammond Vintage sound then you better get your cash out!

Really awesome Analogue beats which can be linked to keys, chords or run on their own with seperate volume, outputs for the ryhthm section, which sounds like a really early Appegiator when linked to Key presses."

Update via Flemming in the comments: "Notice that there are two rows of buttons for the rhythm. The top row chooses the rhythm. The bottom row chooses the arpeggiator pattern. This way it is possible to combine let's say the TANGO rhythm with the SAMBA arpeggio. This gives far more possibilities compared to the usual single selector row where rhythm and arpeggio is inseperable."

Kebu - Requiem for a Dream (Roland D50 demo)

YouTube Uploaded by kebunator on Apr 10, 2011

"I took some time to learn a bit more about programming my Roland D50, so I made a tune using only the D50 and its built in effects.

The song was programmed/performed and recorded using Cubase SL. Most of the patches used are my own programs or variations on presets. Each instrument was recorded individually by multitracking. No plugins were used except for mild EQ on some tracks and a single-band limiter on the master track. The reverbs, delays and choruses heard are all D50's own effects. The video was later compiled showing how the various parts were played."
