When jamming with Moog becomes a communion with sounds

video upload by No Lake

"A story that many electronic music artists have had to experience one day. While I was having a family dinner at Christmas, a nephew took his guitar, then an aunt, then a third one and the evening continued with improvised music. At the table, someone asks me if I also make music and I answer "yes but electronic ambient music", there was a silence. I could have said that I was a criminal, I would have received the same look from the people around me. So we talked about something else... sigh...

When I listen to Jean-Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze or Vangelis, people often say to me "ah, you put your music back on for depressed people?"...

When I started this channel, I didn't understand why it was so hard to progress, after that evening, things became much clearer. But that won't stop me from continuing to make the music I love :-)

Dina Pearlman - The ARP Synth Legacy | Podcast

video upload by Sound On Sound magazine

"Alan R Pearlman was responsible for some of the greatest sounding and most intuitive synthesizers of the modern age, many of which are still highly sought after or emulated to this day. Inspired, as so many were, by hearing Wendy Carlos’s 'Switched on Bach', he founded Tonus in 1969, a company that would soon become ARP Instruments, and began producing synthesizers such as the legendary ARP 2500, 2600 and Odyssey.

Since his passing in 2019 at the age of 93, his daughter, Dina, has been building the Alan R Pearlman Foundation, an organisation that seeks to preserve her father’s legacy and enable as many people as possible to get hands-on with his inventions.

As with all not-for-profits, Dina has faced numerous challenges, but with the help of the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Herbie Hancock and many other fans of Alan’s work, the Foundation is beginning to realise its objectives with great success.

Dina Pearlman Biog
Dina is the only child of Alan and Buena Pearlman and grew up with ARP Synthesizers as a backdrop for her childhood, travelling extensively and being exposed to innovative and cutting-edge technology. In her early years, she spent time playing in rock and roll bands, as well as dance and theatre. For the past thirty years, she has worked as a versatile visual arts and design professional, creative director, and educator. She has also worked extensively in photography, graphics and web design for several decades, and has a broad understanding of visual communications media.

In the last few years before his illness, Alan Pearlman started to re-examine the brave new world of synthesizers that exists today, many decades after his iconic and groundbreaking 12 years as the inventor and founder of ARP Synthesizers. During this time, he brought his daughter into the conversation. After his death in January 2019, Dina realised the need of keeping his legacy and passion alive, and with the help and encouragement of many of his former colleagues as well as the wonderful Michelle Moog-Koussa, she started the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation and ARP Archives.

Belgian Magazine Article Featuring Mario Mathy

This one is in via Jos who had the following to say followed by an English translation of the article.

"Years ago, I sent you information about Mario Mathy (I think 2019). You published it on your blog. [you can find it in previous posts featuring Mario Mathy here] Afterward, Mario Mathy's 'Jumping Dance' went viral and achieved cult status.

Since your blog has become the most comprehensive and important documented synthesizer resource online, the attached article should also be saved for future history. It would be cool if you could share it with the rest of the synthesizer community. I translated it from Dutch to English using Google Translate.

Notice in the picture below the article that the photo was taken during the period when Mario endorsed Korg.

All I can see in the picture is Korg equipment. The song 'Love Dreams' is from his first album.

I expect most of the songs from his first album ‘Hello This is Mario Mathy’ were created using Korg synthesizers (in contrary to what you would expect from the album cover showing only casio).

After his first album, the single 'Jumping Dance' was released in Belgium. 'Jumping Dance' was from his second album, 'Music-Land'.

On his second album, you can hear a noticeable difference in his sound.

This likely resulted from switching from Korg to Casio synthesizers.

Mario was my piano teacher when I was about 15 years old."

You can check out Mario Mathy's releases on Discogs here.

The following is the tranlation of the article pictured in this post.

The beautifully odd and maddening Motor Synth MkII: 3 things we love... and some things we don't

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

"When the Motor Synth first landed, it’s fair to say everyone was intrigued. Gamechanger Audio even had the likes of Jean-Michel Jarre and Richard Devine enthusing over “the world’s first electro-mechanical desktop synthesizer”. The original instrument made do with two independent voices and four-note polyphony from the eight motors, but plenty of improvements have been made. New to the MkII is the addition of a DCO with four digital oscillators and four-note-polyphony.

In this video, we explore the new features and explore the highlights of this new version – alongside a few things we're not so keen on."

Vintage ARP 2600 w. 3620 Duophonic Keyboard SN 0926 w/ Jean-Michel Jarre History?

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

via this listing

According to the listing:

"Vintage ARP 2600 w. 3620 Duophonic keyboard very good condition.

I sell my ARP 2600 with its 3620 duophonic keyboard. I used it in Jean-Michel Jarre's studio when I worked with him, but only in his studio and mine. I'm running out of space to keep it.

Not only is it in excellent external condition, as can be seen from the photos, but it has also been fully tested and is perfectly operational.

All sliders, including those of the keyboard, have been replaced by original new ones, with the original caps (no one missing). The keyboard contacts have been cleaned. The original tolex was left untouched as it is still in good condition.

White pencil setting marks can be seen on the photos. They have since been removed.

The serial numbers of the instrument and keyboard are identical, since both were purchased at the same time.

I'm supplying by separate shipment 24 patch cords, the power cord, the original 2600 and 3620 user manuals, plus a collection of original blank patches.

The nameplate indicates a 110 V power supply, but the instrument was set to 220 V at the time of purchase, in accordance with the instructions in the Service Manual. It has been used this way since the beginning. It's easy to switch back to 110 V if required."

It's associated with artists like Jean-Michel Jarre and Depeche Mode."

KORG PE-2000 Polyphonic Ensemble

video upload by Cornel Hecht

"The PE-2000 (Polyphonic Ensemble S) is a string synthesizer, creating a richer sound than the PE-1000 through the use of three oscillators per note, possibly employing delayed and detuned variations of a single oscillator, and a built-in phaser effect. It includes eight presets, such as organ, brass, chorus, and string sounds, and was utilized by notable artists like Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Hawkwind. #analogsynthesizer #analogsynth #electronicmusic #korgsynth #synthesizer #korgsynthesizer #vintagesynthesizer #stringsynth"

"Introducing Moog One custom sounds Presets Volume 4 by Caught In Joy. Most of the patches consist of more than one layer/timbral. Perfect for Berlin School, electronica and synthwave.

Get it at: https://caughtinjoy.com/products/moog...

Moog One to me is a real king of the unique sonic landscapes. Through my sound design choices and experimentation, I created presets that explore new sonic territories, revisit the old ones and push the boundaries of what the Moog One can do. By combining different synthesis techniques, modulation routings, and unconventional settings, you can uncover unique and captivating sounds that are not typically found in factory presets. A lot of presets were inspired by the pioneers of electronic music: Tangerine Dream, Isao Tomita, Richard Barbieri, Jean Michel-Jarre, Vangelis, Klaus Schulze's and Edgar Froese's solo works and Amiga demo scene.

I hope these distinctive sonic landscapes will make your feel special and will inspire you to compose more music.

All patches are compatible with the Moog One Firmware v. 1.5.0 and up. Terms apply."

This one is in via M Me.

From the listing:

"Roland TR-808 Classic 80's Analogue Drum Machine W/ Custom Faceplate - 240V

The TR-808 is arguably the greatest drum machine of all time.

This classic beast uses analogue synthesis to create its sounds and eventually become the signature beatbox used in most R&B and hip-hop as well as a lot of dance and techno music. Booming bass kicks, crispy snares and a distinctive cowbell sound made famous in the 1980's are all part of the 808 and its famous sound!

Its 16 drum sounds include the famous boomy 808 kick, snare, low/mid/high toms, low/mid/high congas, rimshot, claves, hand clap, maracas, cowbell, cymbal, open hi-hat, closed hi-hat and accent. Most of the sounds can be edited. Bass Drum and Cymbal (tone, decay), Snare (tone, snappy), Toms and Congas (tuning), Open Hat (decay). All sounds have individual volume controls and individual outputs.

Its unique sound and analogue allure has allowed it to find a long-lasting home in many forms of music. Ultimately, the 808 has become one of the more important and famous drum machines in the history of music.

Notable users of the 808 are Aphex Twin, 808 State, Kevin Parker, Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Faithless, Jimi Tenor, Dr. Dre, Jimmy Edgar, Freddy Fresh, Richie Hawtin, Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Marvin Gaye, Luke Vibert, LL Cool J, Ice Cube, the Beastie Boys, Nick Rhodes, Puff Daddy, Prince, Kanye West, Jamie XX, Moby, Herbie Hancock, Air, RZA, Liam Howlett and too many more!

This particular 808 has a custom chrome look faceplate which gives us sort of Egyptian Lover vibes (Have you seen his custom units?). This may make it difficult to use for those unfamiliar with the machine. However, we're sure you'd be able to work it out!"

Yamaha AN1X Klaus Schulze 4 and Klaus Schulze 8 two Presets with Chorus and Phaser variations

video upload by js-sound

"I often read on music forums 'why are hardware synthesizers stuck in the Stone Age?'. People are often unhappy with many things. People can like something and at the same time a couple of things can irritate people, if, for example, we are talking about hardware synthesizers. For me AN1X is perfect.

There are a lot of new music products available on the market now. But often they are the ones that don’t suit me in many ways. And I love my AN1X, it has never let me down or annoyed me. After modification, which greatly changed the sound for the better, it is a polyphonic analogue for me! On YouTube, crumbs remain from the original sound, but live my AN1X sounds so that it gives me goosebumps. If you look at the synthesis diagram on the case cover, you can understand from it that AN1X is simple! The entire diagram does not show its capabilities even at 20%. AN1X can do a lot better than my Eurorack modular! And and if you want that Eurorack modular to do what the AN1X can do, it must occupy half of the small room.

"What can a Yamaha AN1X synthesizer that is already 27 years old do? First of all, it can make me happy because it doesn’t show any signs that it will ever break down and stop working. He can also sound completely different and with his creative abilities generate crazy and very musical timbres. AN1X is the most musical synthesizer for my ears.

There is only one preset in this video. It consists of two different timbres (2 scenes or dual mode), which I controlled using DAW via two MIDI channels simultaneously. I recorded the sum of the two timbres into a wave file at one time. I normalized the amplitude to the maximum peak and added audio to my video.

Yamaha AN1X as drone synthesizer

video upload by js-sound

"If none of you have watched the Vikings series on Netflix, then you should watch it. What is the connection between the Vikings and synthesizers or the actions of people in a certain choice, for example a musical equipment? The connection is actually direct. If you believe the saga about the Vikings, they fought among themselves, but without peace and harmony, they always tried to conquer new unknown lands. How can synthesizers and Vikings be combined? It's simple... people's logic is often not justified. For example, a person has a synthesizer and likes the sound. But some “evil” manufacturer throws a new “musical toy” onto the market. A doubt creeps into this person’s brain: “it’s time to sell the old junk, you need to buy a new synthesizer, it will be better!” Often everything is just the opposite.... People have always been in an eternal search. I'm not looking for anything. Maybe I'm not a Viking! But at the same time, I am happy to have what I have. I'm not interested by any new products, I don't want to be disappointed by them. This happened all the time! Therefore, watch a series about Vikings and perhaps you will find harmony with your musical devices."
