Published on Oct 17, 2017 Manuel Kohn

"This is my first video on YouTube. I want present you a very rare Drummachine form the 80s. It's a individual item from Swiss. The machine was made from a privat music engineer. More details you can find in my ebay-auction..."

Fascinating bit of synth drum history.

via this auction

Googlish:

"A drum computer or sound module from the year 1986, which was produced as a single piece in Switzerland, is available for sale. Very realistic Conga and Bonga sounds can be generated. The device as well as the case are in a clean and cultivated condition with light usage traces. From inside, the device has been cleaned by me. All contacts were checked. There is nothing spared or damaged. Everything works to 100%. The device is operated with two 9V block batteries each. The unit can be connected to an amplifier via "Output" with a normal instrument cable (jack / jack). There are also 4 matching suits made of artificial leather. The pads can be played by hand or with sticks. It is a real collector's item for lovers. This great sound module is only available once in this world! The measurements of the suitcase: 70,5cm long x 30,5cm wide x 9,5cm high. The two batteries are not included in the auction. The device is immediately ready for use ;-)"

Kozepz and Weinglas at Noodlefest

Published on Oct 17, 2017 Wein Glas

"After an earlier collaboration this year, their album FRNDS, Weinglas and Kozepz got the opportunity to perform a live set together for the very first time at Noodlefest 2017, V2, Rotterdam.

Part 04 - phases and tines (stay tuned for more!)

In these times of often unwanted changes it is good to have something steady: Like friends all over the world. So what can be better than two friends from the Netherlands and Germany collaborating to make international noises for one world. Noisemakers kozepz and weinglas are making the world a better place! Even if this means that we all have to listen to their dark soundscapes and aural pollutions first."

Update on the gear used: "Kozepz and Weinglas making noises with Cocoquantus, Plumbutter, two Hordijk Blippoo boxes, some samples, and a Tetrax!"

i don't know if it's really useful (the intro tune was a quick little something i made up in Sunvox with noises only from the synth.) But i'm quite happy with it's overall aesthetic and well, since it's my first attempt at anything like this i'm just glad it worked and ended up making noises :P

New Vindor ES1 Saxophone Style Wind Instrument & Controller on Kickstarter

via the Kickstarter campaign:

"At Vindor, we believe that anyone can make music. Playing music should be affordable, accessible and fun for everyone.


That's why we designed the Vindor ES1. It's an electronic saxophone that is easy to play, fun, and inspires creativity.

Playing music develops cognitive, motor, and emotional skills. It also builds confidence and encourages everyone from kids to adults to express themselves.

The Vindor ES1 is:

Affordable. For less than $200, the Vindor is cheaper than buying or renting a saxophone, flute or clarinet.
Relevant to all ages. Lightweight and tough, the Vindor ES1 is designed to be played by adults and children over six years old.
Satisfying to play. By digitally producing tones, the Vindor ES1 eliminates the squeaks and squawks that frustrate beginners.
Creative. With a unique sound, quick response, and four-octave span, the Vindor ES1 gives you the flexibility to be inventive and to experiment.
Mobile. Lightweight, compact and with a built-in rechargeable battery you can play the Vindor ES1 anywhere.
Quiet when needed. You can play the Vindor ES1 with headphones to play or practice in peace (and out of earshot of roommates, parents, neighbors).
Connected. Use it as a controller for software instruments and with music apps like GarageBand on desktops, tablets and smartphone.

The way you press the Vindor's buttons to make different notes is the same as a saxophone. We have eliminated a few advanced keys to simplify the playing experience. Even though saxophones are bigger, what each finger does is identical in both the Vindor and saxophone.

The Vindor also has corresponding sound and fingering to a flute or a clarinet."

"Here is Matt Berry's 'Take My Hand,' otherwise known as the theme from Toast of London realized entirely via multitracking an analog Stylophone Gen X-1 over drums.

The Gen X-1 is a shockingly versatile Stylophone at the same time as being a delightfully fun analog synthesizer.

Of course, you should also check out Toast of London if you can view it on television, or on Netflix if you cannot. Not only is it sublime comedy, but Matt Berry's accompanying music is fantastic... and not just because it is often analog-synth-laden.

nonlinearcircuits Hyperchaos Deluxe

hyperchaos deluxe1 Published on Oct 17, 2017

"Hyperchaos Deluxe as the centre of a patch controlling a thru0 VCO, VCF, Timbre and a Bong0."

via nonlinearcircuits

"Hyperchaos Deluxe is based on the description in A UNIQUE SIGNUM SWITCH FOR CHAOS AND HYPERCHAOS by C. Li et al and is an expansion of the circuit used in Primal Hyperchaos.

There are 10 different CV outputs and 2 gate outputs. The CV IN is associated with the CLIMAX pot which determines how high the peaks go. The module can be greatly influenced by the CV in signal and can exhibit some fairly nutty responses at times.

The Rate input can be used in a few different ways:
1. With nothing patched in the circuit operates in slow mode
2. With a cable patched in, but its other end hanging loose, the circuit operates in fast mode.
3. Feed a gate signal to the Rate input and the circuit will vary between fast and slow modes (gate high = slow)
4. Feed a fast clock signal and you can get the circuit to operate at different speeds. This is quite dependent upon the frequency of the incoming clock and can take some tweaking to get right. If the clock is too fast it will mainly appear to be in slow mode.

Probably 3 is the best option as you can have the CVs cruising along and then suddenly going nutso when the gate ends."

Amateur guide to the ARP 2600 contains swearing and impatience

Published on Oct 16, 2017 Ian o'Brien

"This is part one of a DIY series about the amazing musical possibilities within the ARP 2600 synthesizer.

There's a lot of bullshit, nonsense and outright rubbish about the ARP2600 on YouTube. Fallacies, mojo and outright falsehoods, to the left right and center.

I want to show what it really is, starting here with just the synth itself, no extras. The series will not focus on technical explanations. Only one goal - how to get a good sound out of it?

Forget the waffle.....The ARP2600 is *not* a science project or a weird curiosity it's a musical instrument .
I think the designers didn't properly understood this at the time.

I don't give an arse about the specs and details, this is about sound and how to make music x"

Dave Smith Instruments In The Spotlight With the OB-6 and Sunshine Jones

You'll find the full interview at Dave Smith Instruments here.

"Sunshine Jones is an electronic musician from San Francisco, California. He is a production machine that seems to be in constant motion. Hand made releases, full fledged vinyl releases, customized eurorack modules, hand built synthesizers, tutorial videos, consultations with manufacturers, beta testing, and non-stop encouragement for people who are curious about getting their heads together about playing live electronic music.

From 1991 – 2005 he was one half of Dubtribe Sound System. While Dubtribe continues to perform periodically at festivals and special engagements, Sunshine travels the world solo these days playing 100% live improvisational electronic music, and hosting the Play Live! seminars where he discusses how to play live music as an electronic artist, and what it means. His aim is to encourage people to get started regardless of what gear they have. But his focus always comes back to doing it without a computer, without a tablet, and without a phone. The idea is to play live, and get into the moment. He is also a well-loved, and well-traveled DJ.

He has produced, recorded and released music on Jive, BMG, Universal, Defected, King Street, Oh! Stockholm, Cosmic Disco, Treehouse Muzique, and dozens of other indie labels. He also operates the San Francisco-based record label, The Urgency Of Change. For more information about Sunshine Jones, visit his website."

Eventide Enters Eurorack World With EuroDDL Module AES New York

via Eventide

"LITTLE FERRY, NJ, USA: recording technology trailblazer Eventide is proud to release the EuroDDL — entering the ever-expanding Eurorack modular market with a 16HP digital delay (DDL) module made to sound less digital than the average delay while enabling external control of every feature and function — at AES New York 2017, October 18-20, Jacob J. Javits Convention Center, USA…

With the EuroDDL, Eventide’s old school design strictly limits the amount of digital circuitry to only what’s required for delay. Soft saturation clipping, LP (low pass) FILTER, FEEDBACK, insert loop, and +20 dB boost are all analog.

The digital section is minimal and constrained to do nothing more than simple, yet flexible, delay. The DDL itself is pristine. It’s long. It’s short (0.11msec resolution). It’s smooth, it loops, and it goes backwards (REVERSE). The delay converter is 24 bits with a maximum delay time of up to 10 seconds at 192 kHz sample rate and 160 seconds at 16 kHz sample rate. Delay time can be varied smoothly and over a wide range — either manually, via TAP (BPM) tempo, or by remote control voltage. Short delays can be used for comb filtering and flanging effects. Longer delays for echo effects. Infinite delays for looping. Backwards delays for reverse effects.

To be a true performance instrument, all the controls of the Eurorack module must be remote controllable. The EuroDDL does just that with jacks — clipping, KILL, REVERSE, FEEDBACK, MIX, and LP FILTER — to accept VC (voltage control) and T/G (trigger to gate). It’s designed to be played as an instrument... and it’s designed to ‘play nice’ in the rack with RETURN/SEND and CLK (clock) IN/OUT.

“There’s usually a modular this or that floating around at Eventide; we wanted to create a delay that can be played by musicians — musicians like our own resident experimental music artist Anthony Saunders,” says Eventide Director of Marketing Communications Nalia Sanchez. “Plus, we wanted it to sound, feel, and behave like an analog instrument by doing as much as possible with analog components. It adds cost, but makes a clear difference. There seems to be something that happens to sound when it’s operated on in quantized time. The EuroDDL module keeps whatever that ‘something’ is to a bare minimum.”

The EuroDDL design is derived from the Eventide DDL-500, the 500 Series delay module about which Tape Op’s Eli Crews wrote: “...it has a unique feel and sound, partly due to the fact that the only digital part of the audio path is the delay line itself.”

Eventide will be demonstrating the EuroDDL alongside award-winning plug-ins on Booth #321 at AES New York 2017 — the 143rd International Convention — on October 18-20, Jacob J. Javits Convention Center, USA.

Currently available in limited quantities, general availability of the EuroDDL is scheduled for January 2018 with an MSRP of $399.00 USD.

The instrument handles sixteen meticulously selected Chamberlin and Mellotron sounds accurately sampled from the original units. Each key’s signal path consists of special independent digital sound source and optronic audio gate with specific dynamic curve. This fully polyphonic sonic array gets mixed and goes into the timbre control, optronic master gate and high precision pedal-controlled VCA at the final stage. Other highlights include MIDI input, computer USB interface, highly reliable touch keyboard, self-calibration routine, etc. Built with love and by the best Russian military quality traditions :-)"
