Interesting look at the cost of repairing the synth below.

"Acquired in 1998 in San Francisco, this Arp was fully restored by SynthPro in 2014. Fully functional, perfect working order. Even had the bushing in the keyboard replaced to make the action smooth. A great Arp if you're looking for an Arp!

2104 work done below:

Problems:
1. Broken slider switch for OSC1 LFO PWM
2. Broken slider switch for OSC2 LFO FM
3. Chassis missing all screws
4. Slider pots stuck, needs cleaning
5. bad key contacts along with bad key bushings
6. KB CV memory drifting
7. bad 100k ohm slider for OSC1 S/H-ADSR frequency control

Solutions:
1. Replace broken slider switch for OSC1 LFO PWM
2. Replace broken slider switch for OSC2 LFO FM
3. Install new chassis screws
4. complete chassis, circuit board, and slider cleaning and slider re-greasing
5. Replace key contacts
6. Replace C8 along with stressed transistor
7. Replace 100k ohm slider for OSC1 S/H-ADSR frequency control
8. replace commonly failure components to prevent failures

Now for the parts list:

Slider switches = $2.00 each X 2 = $4.00

Chassis screws, (size 6-32 X 1/2 ) = $1.98 pack of 12 = $1.98

Chassis screws, (size M4- .70 X10) = $0.56 pack of 2 = $0.56

Key bushings = $1.08 X 37 = $1.08 each = $39.96

100k ohm slider pot = $25.00 each X 1 = $25.00

Transistor = $10.00 each X 1 = $10.00

.47uF @ 100V film cap = $3.19 each X 1 = $3.19

1uF @ 35V Tantalum cap = $0.43 each X 4 = $1.72

22uF @ 16V tantalum cap = $1.72 each X 1 = $1.72

10uF @35V tantalum cap = $1.05 each X 4 = $4.20

3.3uF @25V tantalum cap = $1.16 each X 2 = $2.32

250uF @ 50V electrolytic cap = $3.42 each X 2 = $6.84

Key Contacts $0.00

PARTS TOTAL= $101.49

Labor = $30.00 an hour X 13 hours = $390.00"

DRUM PAD PLUGGED UP TO A 2000 VOLT JACOBS LADDER

Published on Feb 19, 2017 LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER

"It had to be done! wiring up a 2000 Volt Jacobs Ladder to a drum pad to make it musical!

kind of sounds like a special effects crash or something. but With ADDED SPARKS.

Built from a microwave. and some tinfoil. its definately a bit of a hack. and tends to overheat and smoke! wait for the end to see the fireworks.

completely live. on a home built Modular synth... the drum pads on the top trigger kick and snare. and 2 completely seperate synth voices for each of the 2 synth notes. these go into an arduino powered beat recorder. so only had to play the riff once and it automatically records it and re plays it, planning on doing a how to of that soon for people who want to build one. ran out of drum pads so used 2 toy drums with piezo mics glues onto them. there is a footswitch too which turns on an extra channel which the bass goes through an electro harmonix POG and some distortion for extra dynamic bits.

middle part is just a delay that one of the toy drum pads was going through. the great thing with the pt2399 delay is it stops working if the voltage goes too low. so the extreme end of the knob twist just shuts down the delay, making it great to turn on and off quickly and easily.

The Jacobs ladder was just mic'd up. tried keeping it as far away from the modular as possible to isolate the awesome sound it makes. but inevitably theres some bleed from the noise drum pads."

Hors Série - Nightcall Kavinsky Cover

Synth parts are from a Korg Polysix VST. The Yamaha CS1X appears to be the controller.

Update: added the originals below for reference. The track is from London Grammar, covered by Kavinsky, covered above.

"En attendant la prochaine vidéo sur le Yamaha VSS30 qui arrive sous peu, voici un petit cover fait sous Ableton Live à grand coup de LaunchPad :)

J'ai précisé le contenu des pistes pour plus facilement comprendre à quoi correspondent chaque colonne du Launchpad. Hormis les percussions, les sons viennent du plugin vst du Korg Polysix qui est un synthé que je trouve tout bonnement fantastique.

Et enfin cette vidéo a pour but de montrer qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir 50 000 instruments pour composer un morceau.

Enjoy ! d^^b"

Googlish:

"Waiting for the next video on the Yamaha VSS30 coming soon, here is a little cover made under Ableton Live with great blow of LaunchPad :)

I have specified the contents of the tracks to more easily understand what each column of the Launchpad corresponds to. Aside from percussion, the sounds come from the plugin vst of the Korg Polysix which is a synth that I find simply fantastic.

And finally this video aims to show that it is not necessary to have 50 000 instruments to compose a piece.

KAWAI K3m Synthesizer Module - Abusing the beast with MAQ 16/3

"KAWAI K3m Synth, wavetable synth with analog filter. A dirty digital diamond in the deep dark world of forgotten gear from the 80's Doepfer MAQ16/3, Moog SP ripping a hole in spacetime."

The K3/m is not technically a wavetable synth. It has digital waveforms like the KORG DW synths, but does not have wavetables you can scan through like PPG and Waldorf synths. In essence the K3 is closer to PCM based ROMplers than wavetable synths.

"This synth sounds killer and has had what appears to be a filter mod as the added control near the mod wheel shows. I'm not sure what was done but it adds an aggressive distortion filter when cranked that is very cool. Everything looks to be stock and overall the board is in good condition for it's age. To issues of note are the 2 missing fader caps which are not a big deal as you can still easily move the sliders with your finger. Also it has 1 key that sticks and has to be pulled back up manually. May be just a bad spring or it may need a new key."

"Outtake" noodling

Published on Feb 18, 2017 raycastile

"This video is for the three or four people who will enjoy watching it. The rest can move along.

My track 'Around and Back' was originally recorded as a long improvisation. I didn't like the way that turned out, so I used the improvisation as the basis for an organized composition, then re-recorded it using multiple takes.

This video begins at the tail end of the original improvisation. I could tell that it had been a wasted effort, as you can hear in the way I go off the rails at the end. After some twiddling, about two minutes in, I started playing a string pad (XILS V+ plugin) and began a sad, slow improvisation that reflected how I was feeling. The DAW did not capture this audio, but the iPhone camera did.

So this is the impromptu improv shot by the phone. If the DAW had recorded it, I would be presenting it with that audio. But this is all that exists. Sorry.

I just thought it sounded kind of cool, so I decided to share it with the few people who might like it. I don't consider it part of my 'CS-60 series,' so I didn't put that name in the title, and I'm not adding any tags."
