Atomic Shadow Lab

YouTube via MyAtomicShadow | July 11, 2010
Some synth spotting via Atomic Shadow: "Here is a quick look around the lab. The mic on my camera is having a spasm so no narration. Yes, I do wear the lab coat sometimes.

I have a new collection of recordings coming up. Please find Atomic Shadow on Facebook for links to free downloads. Thanks!"

Regarding the xylophone controller and double manual organ: "It is a Wernick Xylosynth, which despite the synth in the name is really just a midi controller. The organ is a Philips Philicorda GM-760."

"Approx 83cm wide x 53 cm deep x 79cm high.

Clean unit in good working order with a couple of faults (see below).

Features include great Spring Reverb and Vibrato and Chord button (which activates 17 pre-programmed chords)

Comes with foot pedal and shelve underneath organ which is connected to back legs.

Line out and other connectivity are on underside of organ although it also has it's own loudspeaker on underside.

Nice soundtrack and psychedelic organ sounds.

GM754 has been used by the likes of Portishead and Clinic.

Really enjoyed using this fantastically warm and authentic sounding organ, I just need to make room for new equipment.

Known Faults:

two of the keys take a while to return once depressed. (the 3rd e, 3rd f)

2nd b makes no sound at all.

These could be simple contact/cleaning problems but I'm not sure.

Slider cap is missing from vibrato but does not affect function. (see pics).

On the right hand side some of the veneer is peeling slightly.(see pics).

Couple of other very small blemishes but overall really good cosmetically considering age.

Owner & service manual can be found here"

Hideaway Studio S-VX Hybrid Library for Kontakt Featuring Novachord & More

"Complex Analog Oscillators with 12-bit Crunch into Curtis Filters…

For a while now I've been curious about the infamous AKAI S900 into VX90 combo and after building a 13 pin connection cable and installing an HxC virtual floppy drive in the S900 I decided to give it a go.

The results were very promising so I decided to put a new sample library together offering complex warm analog oscillator sources transposed over 5 octaves with a touch of 12-bit crunch shaped with classic Curtis VCFs and VCAs!

Raw complex oscillator sources were sampled in 12-bits on a recently refurbished AKAI S900. Sources were mainly 1976 Minimoog model D but also included ARP Omni-2, Philicorda GM751, 1939 Novachord, Juno-106 and three tube oscillators fed into a tube waveshaper.

32 complex oscillators were captured on the S900 and stored as virtual disk images on SD card.

Patches were programmed into the VX90 to modulate the Curtis filters and VCAs and the results multi-sampled as a library of 376 generously long 24-bit samples.

32 instruments were programmed up in Kontakt to form the basis for a 4-voice layering engine complete with scripted user interface.

32 example editable patches were created.

Here is a link to more background, sound demos and download page for what I think you will all find is a very tempting Christmas offer of £10:

VINTAGE 1970 PHILICORDA GM 754

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

"MADE IN 1970

EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING.

1. THE POWER ON/OFF BUTTON DOES NOT STAY IN.

2. 3 OF THE WHITE KEYS DON'T MAKE A SOUND WHEN YOU PRESS THEM.

3. 1 OF THE BLACK KEYS DOSEN'T MAKE A SOUND WHEN YOU PRESS IT.

I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM ON THE KEY CONTACTS, AS THEY DO SOMETIMES MAKE A SOUND WHEN YOU PUSH THE KEYS RIGHT DOWN HARD.

4. SMALL AMOUNT OF WHITE PAINT ON FRONT PANEL BY THE RECORD BUTTON WILL COME OFF (SEE PICTURE 4)

ALL OTHER FUNCTION ON THE PANEL ARE ALL WORKING CORRECTLY.

COMES WITH ITS PERSPEX SHEET MUSIC STAND (THIS HAS GOT SOME PAINT ON IT)

ALSO COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL FOOT PEDAL."

Synths in Den Haag Art Museum, Holland

via adrian

"I'm just back from den haag in holland (I was playing in the jazz festival), and, while visiting the art museum, I found some interesting stuff. there are some rooms about music, and instruments. There was a clavia G2, but also a sort of small synth made of 5 modules oscillator, filter, enveloppe, lfo, and effects. each module had a button, to trig the sound, and make people understand the use of each module (of course, vco switch trigged the pure vco sound, on filter module, it played only vco + filter .....). There also was some touch screen, where you could sequence some sounds, and you had choice among many sampled instruments.

I was really amazed to see Ondioline among these instruments (I doubt samples I heard where really coming from an ondioline, I could not recognize its special character). There also was among many other instruments, minimoog and philicorda samples"
