BLUE ZTVCO DRY DEMO & Surrounding Controversy

YouTube Uploaded by bluelantern320 on Jan 3, 2012

Update 10/4/2013: I heard from Ian Fritz and the controversy is over. Blue Lantern no longer offers the ZTVCO. That said, BL posts will resume.

This one, which seems to be a reoccurring theme with Blue Lantern, comes with a good dose of controversy. You might recall from a few years ago BL got into a bit of heat selling MIDIBox SIDs on eBay. MIDIBox explicitly forbids the commercial resale of MIDIBox SIDs. Blue Lantern stopped and went into producing affordable eurorack based modules and systems.

This latest controversy surrounds the source of design for the new BLUE ZTVCO. You might recall from the comments in this previous post, the design of that prototype module appeared to be a copy of Ian Fritz's Teezer (TZFM Saw VCO debuted Sep'08) design. Ian Fritz's modules are available via The Bride Chamber and Elby Designs.

In short:

1. Is the BLUE ZTVCO based on Ian Fritz's design?
2. If so, to what extent?
3. If so, is it legal?
4. If so, is it fair and does it matter?

The answer to 1 and 2 will not be known until someone gets a hand on the ZTVCO and reverse engineers it. I asked BL if he would be willing to provide the schematics to put the issue to rest and he replied no. He said people can reverse engineer it when it it's available and he is sure someone will. The answer to 3 is quite possibly so. There is currently a good thread on the subject on the electro-music.com forum here. The answer to 4 depends on you. My personal opinion is that it is not fair and it definitely does matter. Whether legal or not, I view it as stealing. These designs do not come out of thin air. They take time and talent and sometimes years to produce. You will see some insight on this in regards to Ian's Teezer design from him directly below. When someone makes their designs available, credit should be given.

The following is a response from Blue Lantern in regards to the claims made against him. The most important thing to read out of his points below is "3. This is not a clone, this vco is a beast in it's own cage."

Ian Mason - Gotta Lotta Love (1978)

YouTube via nzoz1978. sent my way via Ian. Spot the synths.
"Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1978:

Ian Mason's promo-video for the single 'Gotta Lotta Love' taken from the 1978 album 'Nobody Takes Me Seriously'.

This track was produced by John Farrar; most famous for writing hits for Olivia Newtown-John.

Ian Mason:

Ian Mason began playing in bands as a teenager, during the 1960's. His own band Mason's Cure (later known as 'Stylus) made a name for themselves in Australia as a live act.

Ian Mason also became an in-demand Jingle composer during the '70's. He composed many memorable advertising Jingles for radio and television. One of his most remarkable pieces was a 1978 Jingle he did for Melbourne radio station 3XY. The jingle was 'I Can Feel It' and was performed by the 3XY Supergroup Party which featured 300 of Australia's finest performers and musicians (found on NZOZ1978 under the title '3XY Supergroup Party - 3XY Radio Promo (1978').

During the early 1980's, he bought a-state-of-the-art recording studio called 'The Music Farm', which was used by many famous Australian and international musicians; including Australian Crawl, Mi-Sex, Moving Pictures, Tim Finn, Redgum, Goanna
Band, Divinyls, INXS, Jimmy Barnes and Midnight Oil. He has worked and traveled overseas - playing with Stevie Wonder, Toto and many others.

Ian Mason remains an in-demand musician and is greatly respected by his peers and the music industry.

Ian is now working as a composer of film and television and is currently producing his first Feature Film!

Bloody Marys with an Angry Goddess (CM16) by Ian Richter

New release from supporting member Ian Richter available on Bandcamp and other digitial outlets.

"A short visit to the Indochinese Peninsula at the wrong time of the global pandemic breakout, led Ian Richter to over a year and a half of living in Vietnam, and to a deep love affair with the Vietnamese folk religion. Ian was intrigued to find a place drenched in culture and mysticism existing hand in hand with hyper capitalism (yet officially committed to socialism).

Over the course of the last 18 month Ian recorded, mentally and physically, the sounds of his encounters and experiences. From daily life, through industrial and natural landscapes, to ancient and modern dance, forging foreign with familiar, mysticism with science, and claustrophobia with liberation.

An Arab And A Jew Make Sweet Love by Ian Richter

A new release by supporting MATRIXSYNTH member, Ian Richter.

"IDR-Newswire / TEL AVIV / May 29th 2018 / ​Tel Aviv-based South African-born musician and producer Ian Richter has just released his first LP under the moniker ​Ricatelli​. The album, entitled “An Arab and a Jew Make Sweet Love”, offers an eclectic electro-acoustic collection of mid-tempo grooves layered with everything from Eastern percussion to modular synthesizers.

When asked about what inspired the album, Richter recalled the scandal surrounding Dorit Rabinyan’s 2014 novel ​All the Rivers​, explaining, “'It's insane to me that a book telling the love story of an Arab and a Jew was removed from the high school curricula in Israel. With all the literature about war and conflict, why remove the one positive example?'

The album is mostly instrumental, and takes the listener on a journey through a variety of beat-based music genres. Richter produced the album at his home studio, recording a colorful palette of instruments including synthesizers, guitars, samplers, and drums. Some tracks include vocal takes, mostly performed by Richter, with the addition of manipulated samples and computer-generated speech.

Richter views the root of the Middle East conflict as 'a segregation caused by fear-mongering that exists in many parts of the world', saying, '​As a musician, I thought I'd just point to something that's already going on - love between Arabs and Jews. Oh, and yes, they have sex too.'

The album 'An Arab and a Jew Make Sweet Love - By Ricatelli' ​is available on all major streaming platforms and online music stores.

About Ian Richter
Having lived in two of the world’s most conflicted regions - South Africa and Israel - Ian Richter has been exposed to culture through a unique set of circumstances. Growing up in the sleepy surfer town of Durban, Richter eagerly absorbed the sonic influences offered to him, drawn to both Western and African music. Moving to Israel at the age of 18 offered him the chance to connect to a more active alternative music scene. Tel Aviv proved to be fertile soil, and collaborations with a variety of artists led to playing the local circuit and gaining experience as a live performer. Today, Richter juggles a range of sonic projects, performing in clubs, composing music for contemporary dance, designing sound for the visual arts, and producing recorded pieces across a number of genres."

Ian Helliwell's Tone Generation

[Note: I'm not seeing how to skip episodes in the player above aside from sliding the progress bar to the end to get to the next one.]

You might remember Ian Helliwell mentioned in previous posts on the site here, including his book Tape Leaders. Atomic Shadow wrote in to let us know about his 34-part history of electronic music titled Tone Generation [player above/episode list below], as well has his work on SoundCloud.

The following is a short blurb from his website, http://www.ianhelliwell.co.uk:

"Leaving school and full time education aged 16 armed with six O-levels, Ian is a self-taught and self-funded multi-media artist, working in music, film, animation, analogue electronics, instrument building, collage, installations, live performance, light show projection, graphic design, writing and film programming.

Ian coined the term ‘creative soldering’ to best define his ‘intuitive electronics’ approach, and since the 1990s he has designed and built a unique range of electronic tone generating machines – Hellitrons and Hellisizers – which he uses to realise his compositions."

"The Tone Generation is Ian's audio series looking at the early period of electronic music history, focussing on experimental tracks mostly drawn from his CD and record collection.

AJH NEW MODULE! 'CHANCE DELAY' Voltage-Controlled Probability/Random Gate Delay and More

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"The Tone Science Chance Delay is a unique concept in Eurorack modules that combines chance and randomness, with pulse delay and pulse conditioning. It is a collaboration between between electronic musician/composer Ian Boddy and AJH Synth. It can perform as a Chance generator, but is also capable of pulse stretching for Trigger to Gate conversion, pulse shortening for Gate to Trigger conversion, Gate Delay, Sub Bass Generation and also "divide by n" clock division. There is a wide range of control and all functions can be operated manually from the front panel or can be automated using external CV voltages. Chance can range between 0 to 100%. The Gate out can be delayed by anywhere between from 0.5mS to 30 Seconds, and the output Pulse length can also vary from 0.5mS to 30 Seconds. The TRIG push button allows manual triggering of pulses, also determined by the Chance control, and a green LED shows the output pulse status. It includes a handy "Gate pass through" mode; when the Length control is set to zero the incoming pulse or trigger will still be determined by the Chance and Delay controls, whilst the outgoing gate length will be the same as the incoming gate length. Its compact 8hp form factor and very low power consumption make this an excellent addition to any Eurorack system. For a full description of the module, and more information about Ian Boddy & Tone Science, visit the product page on the official AJH Synth website: https://ajhsynth.com/ChanceDelay.html See Ian Boddy's video about the Chance Delay [below]

Tone Science (Ian Boddy) is a sub-label of DiN Records: https://dinrecords.bandcamp.com/album...

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.

Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

Inventions for 3u 104hp Eurorack II

A new release from supporting MATRIXSYNTH Member, Ian Richter. His previous release was featured here.

"my journey into modular synthesis has taken me through another interesting waypoint. there's something about the tactile wires-out rawness of this interface that i can connect to. i manipulate intuitively, i move functionally, i think expressively.

though the eurorack system i own is extremely limited in its capabilities, the more i am forced into corners, the more i enjoy the results. minimal square waves that drone unforgivingly; sine waves that beep along like a morse code machine stuck on a single letter; it's a gas.

this ep, "inventions for 3u 104hp eurorack" was not planned, just like the synth patches that make up its tracks. i found it fitting to place it in series after the previous eurorack album, mainly because of the ambience and approach that was used within the creative process.

Some additional info via supporting member, Ian Richter:

"The story behind the Liễu Hạnh video started when I was invited by the Morua artist collective to compose and perform music for one of their experimental pieces. The idea was to live and work together in central Vietnam for two weeks, and then tour the country with the finished piece. Shortly after arriving in Hội An, fate took an ill twist and that plan fell through, but living in close quarters in a small town, we started getting to know each other and exchanging ideas. That progressed naturally into working on smaller collaborations together, one of which ended up being between myself and Nguyễn Hạ Xuân Nguyên, a choreographer with a background in both contemporary and traditional Vietnamese dance. Nguyên and I kept the process intuitive, and found a location that we both felt suited the spirit of the material. The final video was shot in a single take."
