Oberheim Live on the I-5

YouTube via kidtronic

"An Oberheim minisequencer (#10) driving the SEM 2 oscillator synth fed into a Korg Tape echo which is on top of George's modular. The room is an unsuspecting hotel off the I-5 in Bellingham (has a cool radio museum and growlers). We were travelling down from Canada to the Pacific Northwest 2008 synth meet in Renton the next morning. The lower right corner of the sequencer is the rate knob. If you pull it up sequence two determines the length of time for each note. On the SEM the bottom rows are envelope ADSR settings. Usually the weird sounds come from other rooms..."

"I'm playing one for the first time at the PNW synth meet. R2D2 in a box and then some. I'm filming with one hand and playing with the other and your not getting (from the camera) the full two channel nature of the flame. Got me grinning, quite a mad bit of gear."

"A couple of camera clips from the Pacific Northwest synth meet in Renton near Seattle, October 25 2008. You may see the inventor briefly."

"i bought some unusual parts from chipsforbrains for my Roland TR-808. Just finished soldering them in. This is for the 808 crowd if they've never seen this. Programming blind & live. I had a delay and a tapco spring on the board (no compressors). Programmed w/one hand while the other held a Canon powershot camera in video mode with its own pinhole sound."
