Composition in Electronic Components: Experiment I


Uploaded by DeRaafMedia on Sep 17, 2011

"A musical composition. A composition maybe made from the point of view of a computer or other electronic device.

Do computers like us? Do they like the interaction we have with them.

We don't know. All we know is that we most probably slow them down with our presence, almost grind them to a hold.

There is a huge difference in the computational abilities between us. If we want to compute something, we need to go sit behind the keyboard and mouse, that slows down the computer. It needs to listen. Even if there where fast way's to interact, like speech or even brainwaves, it would slow the computer down.

This little experimental musical piece explores this. We got a little micro controller that happily sends it's serial communication to his companion, a little emulated SID chip. This serial communication consist of random registry entries so the SID can generate some random sounds.

But there is a opportunity for a human to interact with this micro controller, a PIR motion detector. If there is any movement registered this electronic circuit needs to slow it's activity down (by a factor of 10).

"Rare chance to get hold of one of these, in great shape & fully working!*

This is a very basic analog synth, designed by David Cockerell who designed all the coolest EH stuff & also worked on the EMS synths, of course. It has a very growly, distinctive filter! Played from the 'keys' it's good-sounding & very straightforward (no envelope!) but spend a bit of time with it, mess around with the sliders while you're playing & you'll be surprised at the 'hidden' sounds you can get.

In very good shape, & I have cleaned the slider pots. If you check the clips on Youtube, you will notice they all sound awful. I think this needs to be played as much on the sliders as the keyboard, to manually open up the filter etc. Sliders were full of crackle & stiff to move, are now smooth & crackle-free. All the slider caps are original & intact, except the tip for the On/ Off switch which is missing- purely cosmetic! The cardboard back has a little wear around the sockets, & the battery clips in perfect condition, no sign of any leaks or corrosion at all.

There's a particularly nice PWM bass sound, very reminiscent of the riff of Being Boiled (Human League), which would have been a Korg 700s, I think?


*I'm not entirely sure what the deal is with the SENS setting. There is a Piezo mic stuck underneath the touchpad, which I'm guessing might re-trigger the filter if you tap the keys(?) Again, looking at Youtube, there are videos that claim to show it working, but I'm not convinced.. as far as I can tell, the Sens setting seems to have no effect on filter or triggering or anything..

Works from 2x 9v batteries, & has an internal speaker. I think this sounds great with batteries, through the speaker! There is a 1/4" Output socket & a 1/8" socket for a PSU **I have never used this with a PSU.. being EH you'd imagine it's 18v+, & I have a suitable PSU for my Electric Mistress, but I have a feeling this may be 9vAC. The only pic I've seen of a PSU with this (on Matrixsynth) was EH-branded & 9v- tricky to find any info on this! My advice- be careful & stick to batteries!!**"

"This is a classic old mono synth designed by Tim Orr of EMS in the early 1980's and was sold as a kit. Not too many of these left in good working order now and they are highly sought after by those wanting real analogue sound with knobs and buttons to play with! THis example has had a couple of mods to improve the signal to noise ratio on the outputs and the addition of an LFO LED light on the front panel that flashes in time with the LFO rate. I had one of these as a teenager and got hold of this one again recently with a view to making some mods of my own but time is not with me so I have to let it go now. The key contacts can be temperamental on these but this one is pretty good and currently they all work.

Also included is a paper and CD (.pdf) copy of the original Electronics Today magazine articles that describe all the processes as well as construction details. Very useful - I learnt more about how it works for these than I ever knew back in the 80's!"

SOLARIS Estradin 314 SOVIET ANALOG POLY SYNTHESIZER

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Up for auction is very rare soviet analog polyphonic synthesizer - SOLARIS (Estradin-314). It was manufacture on the same "Estradin" military radio plant in Zhitomir city where was produced power moog-type synths Altair-231, Estradin-230 in eighties. SOLARIS uses organ style drawbars to create the basic tone, and has a analog filtering as well. Inside it has 12 voice boards that correspond to each key in an octave, and then uses a divide down system to get to the other octaves. Because of this the sound of the oscillators are really thick and meaty. The filter is really extreme and sounds fantastic, as well the envelope is really punchy, so you get great synth stabs, sweeps and percussive organy sounds. If you use the envelope and filter sections carefully you can get great moogy leads out of it, warm organ sounds, flying ambient textures, in the high resisters it can sound like a string machine, or even a theremin if you crank the resonance. It has tons of character and can sounds really unique!


Estradin 314 Solaris CONTROL PANEL:

-Pitch bend

FILTER section: Envelope amount, Cutoff, Resonance, Attack, Sustain, Release.

REGISTERS section: Harmonics 1-5 ( 8", 4", 2", 2 2/3", 1" ).

VIBRATO section: Lfo speed, Lfo pitch amount, Lfo filter amount.

-Amplifier release

-Brilliance ( Filter blend )

-Tune

-Power On/Off

CONNECTIONS: output 1/4 jack, pedal 5-din input, power plug, fuse.

The supply voltage - 220-230V/50Hz. For use with 110/127V, a voltage converter is necessary."

New 2012 Vako Orchestron Discs - SOLO TRUMPET & TROMBONE

New 2012 Vako Orchestron Disc - SOLO TRUMPET

Published on Nov 24, 2012 by optigandotcom

"Now available at http://www.optigan.com/shoptigan

A new release in our line of Vako Orchestron discs, SOLO TRUMPET. It's unlikely that there will be sufficient demand to do a second run of 25 of these discs, so your best bet is to buy as many of these as you need while you can! Any future additional copies will most likely be done as one-offs, which are twice as expensive to produce, and thus will cost twice as much.

SOLO TRUMPET is an entirely NEW sound for the Orchestron. This is an actual acoustic trumpet sound, taken from the original Optigan/Orchestron master tapes, but never actually heard on any Optigan or Orchestron disc until now! Please excuse my awful playing here, which is just a quick noodle to demonstrate the sound!

PLEASE NOTE: This disc WILL NOT play properly in an Optigan! They WILL play, but the sounds will NOT be mapped correctly to the keyboard- they will be mapped mostly haphazardly across the chord buttons. Please don't order this disc expecting to easily use it in an Optigan. In the future we will be porting the Orchestron sounds to the Optigan- please be patient! :)

Stay tuned for more Orchestron discs, both new and remastered titles!"

Trans Computer Maschine v1.05 Released

via wallyaudio in the comments of this post.

"Hello everybody, I've got very good news:

All known bugs were fixed so 'Trans Computer Maschine' just ended its beta stage and v1.05 is ready for download.

Please spend a little time and check it out, I renamed the presets so it's indicated when it is for synth or sequencer playing (I know people thinking the plug-in was not working because they couldn't make a sound quickly).

Check the included documentation if want to, but I'm sure will be very easy for anyone to make new sounds just having a look to the presets.

freeware for the world, KVRDC12 still going on...

Cheers,

WC"

Update via wallyaudio in the comments: "Trans Computer Maschine v1.07 released - It's smoother!

Hi everybody,

Here's probably the last update for the KVRDC12. Updates after the contest might come with added features.

The v1.07 fixes are related to subtle clipping issues, probably unnoticeable for most people but I'm sure 'golden ears' will appreciate such improvement:

- Fixed high mixer levels causing internal clipping.
- Fixed Triangle and Saw-Triangle waves making 'clicks' when changing notes.

Have a good time with 'T-C-M'.

Regards,
WC"

It has had a Filter CV input socket fitted to allow CV control of the Low Pass filter, leaving the pedal input free to Osc 2 pitch etc.

In addition it has a new UK power supply, new trimmers, Op amps, keyboard bushes and been recapped. All of the sliders, which with age can get stiff, have been stripped down, cleaned out and relubbed and work like new.
