"Vintage ARP Solus mono synth for parts or restoration. Powers up and makes noises that can be altered with controls but when you press the keys no note changes happen. Who knows maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm just the dumb guitar player. This was thrown in on a trade many years ago. I had thoughts of having it repaired but now I'd like to see someone get it who'll understand and use it. Nothing inside looks or smells burnt, I tried touching-up the solder joints hoping that would fix it but nothing got better or worse.It is beyond my skill set of repair and collecting dust. It has 5 broken faders (master tune,VCO 2 waveform mix,ADSR decay, sustain and release) but there is enough of the fader shafts left that they can be adjusted with a little effort.The knobs for the 5 broken faders are missing"

Abe's Road Test: Ableton Live + Keith McMillen's QuNeo 3D MIDI Controller in Japan

Published on Feb 20, 2013
A bit of an Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations vibe to this one.

"During a recent visit to Japan, Dubspot instructor and globe-trotting performer Abe Duque got a chance to road test Keith McMillen's QuNeo 3D controller and was impressed. The QuNeo is a USB MIDI controller that offers pressure sensitivity as well as directional control on a series of low-profile pads and sliders. We've had our eye on the QuNeo for some time and have been eager to see how it performs in real-life situations. Abe's report shows a multitude of uses for controlling Ableton Live's clips, effects, and envelope parameters in real-time. He found that while the touch-sensitive interface may take some getting used to, it also provides numerous control options that don't exist on most other MIDI control products.

The QuNeo pad MIDI controller from Keith McMillen Instruments brings a fresh design philosophy to a market dominated by endless variations on the same common designs. While its pads appear superficially like those of an MPC or NI's Maschine, the QuNeo also adds touch recognition in multiple dimensions. The "3D" in its name refers to the fact that its sensors can send velocity, pressure, and location information in addition to simple on/off note triggering. The drum pads can send x/y axis information, or each pad can send 4 separate note/pressure commands, one from each corner, making the 4×4 pad array into an 8×8 grid of 64 triggers. Some pads can also send direction and width information. The QuNeo's dimensions are also identical to an iPad's, which allows you to use it with popular iPad stands and accessories.

Free Download: Abe's Ableton Live QuNeo Template

To get you started with the Keith McMillen QuNeo, Abe Duque has provided the Ableton Live template that he uses in the above video. Please visit our blog at http://blog.dubspot.com/quneo-road-test/ to download the template."

Elektron Analog Four and Octatrack

"Wow. We happened across a Mr. Cenk (Jake) Sayinli at the DV Romford store with a compact little setup consisting of the Octatrack and the new Analog Four synthesizer.

Grabbing a camera and a couple of staff iPhones we managed to capture a 4 minute improvisation which just goes to show how much you can achieve with these two incredible pieces of gear.

"Sorry for the handheld camera! Quick video showing how Sync-Gen II allows for easy and accurate compensation of start lag in external/slave sequencers and drum machines.The mighty Elektron A4 is a nice example - the Start Lag is just over 23ms which would normally cause some sea sickness when slaved. Sync-Gen II allows for 4096 samples (85ms) Advance or Delay over your DAW External Tempo Sync."

FutureRetro Mobius Sequencer Test

Published on Feb 19, 2013 JohnLRice·189 videos

"This quickly recorded demo of my FutureRetro Mobius sequencer is post-sale and pre-shipment. I can't remember if I had ever really tried this after I purchased it used years ago. I know I powered it up at least. I should have kept it but, oh well. The existing sequences I'm playing with were most likely programmed by the previous owner.

The patch it is controlling is two Synth Tech MOTM-300 VCOs Pulse out with MOTM-380LFO for PWM, a MOTM-440 VCF, MOTM-800EG and MOTM-190 VCA into a Roland M-120 line mixer. One effects send of the mixer goes out to a Modcan 59B delay then to a Grove Audio PM Resonator and then to a COTK C1660 Phase Processor before returning. The other effect loop goes to a Roland RSP-550 effect unit set to a Hall reverb."

New Hollow Sun SOTU




A new instrument from Hollow Sun

"If you have even the vaguest interest in anything cosmological, you will no doubt be aware that NASA and other international space agencies have been sending probes out into the deepest recesses of our solar system and, with the aid of telescopes as well, have been recording the radio waves emitted by our universe and converting them to audio. The music of the spheres as was once referred to in the middle ages ... or the Sounds Of The Universe ... or SOTU.

It's intriguing and beguiling stuff - long evolving soundscapes that rumble and warble and bleep and phase and swirl, the kind of thing you might expect from an exquisite album of abstract electronica or 'chill out' music. I did contact NASA to license these recordings but they weren't keen. Well... bollocks to them because...

It's all a con, a cunning ruse - there's a race of impish aliens out there who have a machine that generates these sounds which they broadcast around the cosmos to confuse us earthlings ...

And we have laid our hands on it and recreated it for Kontakt 4..."

"POEM’s Thomas Janak talked to “I dream of wires” producer Jason Amm about the documentary and the work it entailed, future plans such as the announced shorter theatrical version and more but the conversation also touched on the modular synths themeselves, what they do to people, why they are still popular and why the resurgence of using modular systems is at an all time high. Note: The 4 hour hardcore version of the documentary is only available for a very short time and you should get your copy NOW! www.idreamofwires.org"

"This is a custom-made, fully functional, utterly unique, guitar. It's by New Voodoo Customs and is 1 of 3 steampunk models made in the series (all 3 have the typical New Voodoo skull on the headstock, only these have a copper plate, monocle and chain on them to denote they are part of the steampunk series) . The guitar itself is neck-thru not bolt on, and is otherwise real quality guitar. There are 6 switches-all work: phase for both pickups (coil tap), kill for Optical Theremin-type (aka Dr. Blankenstein Illumiringer) ring modulator (sensor is IN POCKETWATCH -when closed and open it is protected by glass and metal watch body),wet/dry for FX, bass boost (+3db) on/off (aka "Nitro Boost"), and standard 3-way pickup selector. FX control, tone, and gain knobs all there and working as well. Red LED indicates when Theremin sensor is triggered, Green light is functional but is a light only. Guitar looks INCREDIBLE, and is truly a work of art..."
