Vintage MUSITRONIC 6 Keyboard ORGAN MKS-470

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

via this auction

Be sure to see the pic of it folded up.

"Circa late 1960's, this is a rare MUSITRONIC 6 Keyboard Organ once marketed to schools as a teaching tool for potential musical prodigies. There are 6 identical 4 1/2 octave organ keyboards, each one with its own volume button, 5 tone position switch, and a low/high balance switch. They are all attached to the main organ which controls which organ is to be played. Two control panels have color-coded on/off switches that match the knobs on each keyboard. Measuring 75" long, 31" wide, and 29" high, this organ has 4 smooth rolling wheels. When not in use, the organ can be easily folded up and neatly stored away.

This 6 Keyboard Organ is in good working condition. All of the keyboards work although there is some static due to dust; it is in need of a good potentiometer spray. Great for classroom or stage group use !! Awesome at a party !! This is an incredible unique piece of music history that would make a wonderful Christmas gift for the serious collector !! Please enlarge all photos for maximum viewing. Pick up only: Manhattan area or Kearny, NJ."

micromac-d with touch arpeggio and seq with NEXUS

Published on Dec 9, 2012 by macbethsynthesizers

"Here's an experiment that I did. I replaced one octave of touch keys that I'm working on on an old scrap SH101.....it works perfectly!....my next shot is to give the scrapper SH101 a full three octaves as opposed to the two and a half octave keybed. If this all works- the touch keyboard I'm going to do as a stand-alone will have this built is seq! The sequencer is driving the up and coming Micromac-D synthesizer and I also played here the prototype of the experimental NEXUS 1 analogue touch synthesizer!"

Here we see him tweaking with the MacBeth NEXUS 1 prototype. All sounds are recorded to the camera mic, as opposed to the desk- so don't expect high quality. It was a fun day and I was a guest in the evening for a fantastic gig that featured the MacBeth M5N played by a master!"

"An ARP Odyssey Christmas"

via Steve Alcorn on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"This may be of interest to folks who like old-school analog synthesis, I have completed a CD of Christmas carols performed entirely on an ARP Odyssey synthesizer. The individual tracks were originally recorded in 1976.

This CD is called "An ARP Odyssey Christmas" and is a set of 20 Christmas carols in (mostly) classic arrangements. It is available on CD Baby and iTunes; information on how I made the recordings may be found on the CD Baby web site (cdbaby.com/cd/stephenalcorn) under "Album Notes".

The Odyssey is a monophonic synth, capable of amazing sounds, but only capable of playing one note at a time on its short keyboard, no chords or harmonies. (It is actually considered 'duophonic', but the second voice has limitations.) Because of this, each carol is a multi-track recording made up of several parts (up to seven) in which each part was actually played and recorded individually, in real-time sync with the other recorded parts.

This to me is really a bit of music history that might be of interest to anyone who remembers, or is curious about, some of what was happening with electronic music in pre-digital times (back when one had to compete with the brontosaurus for the use of the only quarter-track tape deck).

The album notes from the CD Baby web page, below, list the Christmas carols and "orchestration", and which go into some detail about how I did the recording. (I might mention that the professional results possible for 21st century home-brew recordists were not possible in the 1970s, as signal processing equipment was not available to folks without substantial trust funds.)

If you do take a look at this CD (and a listen), I hope you like it. If you have any questions about what this is and how I did it, I'd love to share my experience."

Korg Poly-61 repair session

Published on Dec 9, 2012 by MusicMiK - now MiK-Music

"Getting lots of questions about repairing the Korg Poly-61, most of them related to the digital clock/synchronization of the DCOs, i decided to create a video about this.

It's not only Poly-61 specific, i also tell you something about equipment you should have, some simple safety measures and an introduction into general debugging techniques before it comes to the Poly-61 specific stuff.

Originally i thought this wouldn't be very spectacular as the Poly-61 worked last time i used it, but i was surprised to find a real defect during creating this video :)

Sorry for the focus problems and some other minor glitches, this was a very spontaneous idea and due to the usual lack of time, i didn't have an eye on perfection here. It took lots of hours to create this - making it better would eat up several weekends i think. I hope you understand that i prefer to do lots of other, more important stuff.

And after some very bad experience here at YouTube, i want to add this disclaimer - not meant for the ones who give positive feedback and thus keep those videos online, but meant for those with a destructive nature only being able to criticize the work of others:
The meanings and processes i show and describe here are my personal meanings and ways i work. If you have different meanings and processes, i will not try to convince you of my way to do stuff and expect you to also tolerate my ideas - so i will simply delete insulting comments.
If you think, i'm doing it wrong, simply make it better. I just try to help."

Audiobus demo with Eigenharp Alpha

Published on Dec 9, 2012 by Geert Bevin

"I received an early copy of Audiobus (http://audiob.us) yesterday to try it out while playing live MIDI through it. I was pleasantly surprised that it barely adds any latency and reacts really well. The shortcut bar is extremely useful and app-specific icons makes it very easy to interact with backgrounded applications while having another app in the foreground.

In this short demo I'm using my Eigenharp Alpha with a pre-release of PPG WaveGenerator. It's fed into JamUp for additional effects and amp simulation. Loopy HD sits at the output side to build up the loops. I'm also using FunkBox, MIDI-synced to Loopy, for the drums.

The Eigenharp is connected with iConnectMIDI through a USB hub, into the camera connection kit to send the MIDI with virtually no latency and at a very high bandwidth. I use a Matrix USB/SPDIF interface that's also plugged into the USB hub and recorded the iPad audio digitally without any post-processing.

This is all extremely promising imho!"
