First demo of the new GRP A1 Mini Desktop Synth posted here. Front panel and system diagram pics below.

"Per la prima volta in assoluto, Grp Synhesizer presenta Grp A1

Il sintetizzatore monofonico Grp A1 può essere utilizzato come uno strumento indipendente oppure si possono filtrare segnali esterni attraverso il circuito risonante Low Pass 18dB VCF.
La presenza di tre segnali interni (VCO, SUB e NOISE) garantisce potenza timbrica e facilità d'uso. Con i due oscillatori a bassa frequenza - LFO (il primo integra un Sample & Hold S&H) e il generatore di inviluppo ADSR, è possibile avere comportamenti di modulazione ciclici o transitori.
Lo strumento può essere alimentato tramite un cavo USB di tipo C collegato a qualsiasi alimentatore USB da 2,5A. A1 può anche essere estratto dal suo cabinet per essere facilmente installato in qualsiasi sistema modulare Eurorack alimentandolo utilizzando i normali cavi piatti forniti con i sistemi Eurorack

"For the first time ever, Grp Synhesizer presents Grp A1

The Grp A1 monophonic synthesizer can be used as a standalone instrument or external signals can be filtered through the Low Pass 18dB VCF resonant circuit.
The presence of three internal signals (VCO, SUB and NOISE) guarantees tonal power and ease of use. With the two low-frequency oscillators - LFO (the first integrates a Sample & Hold S&H) and the ADSR envelope generator, it is possible to have cyclical or transient modulation behaviors.
The instrument can be powered via a USB Type-C cable connected to any 2.5A USB power supply. A1 can also be extracted from its cabinet to be easily installed in any Eurorack modular system by powering it using the normal flat cables supplied with Eurorack systems

"Here is a 1970's Korg 770 monophonic synthesizer -beautiful piece of synth history! This thing makes some super weird sounds and is great for creating lo-fi soundscapes, mood pads, and other sound fx. Apparently you can also run external sounds through it though I have never experimented with this. It is fully functional despite some cosmetic wear and tear (see pics) and one missing 3 way Sustain switch. The switch can still be toggled using your fingernail or carefully with a flathead screwdriver. Switch part# is CST023NK if you wish to track down a replacement. The right side panel

Ambient exercise #1 with Buchla Music Easel | Naenia (OP-1 + Buchla Music Easel)

1. Ambient exercise #1 with Buchla Music Easel

Aquí unas primeras exploraciones sobre la interfaz del Buchla Music Easel.

En resumen: una interfaz increíble, que te permite dentro de un instrumento en apariencia sencillo y pequeño conseguir ruteos y configuraciones complejas que te dan un espectro sonoro inagotable. Estas posibilidades a la vez convierte al Easel en un reto, tanto para mantener un flujo musical como para ser constantemente creativo con las opciones de modulación que ofrece. El sonido es único, y como tal, es necesario familiarizarse con él y explorar todas sus posibilidades. Para este ejercicio usé el oscilador de modulación como un oscilador normal, que en este caso se encarga de todas las melodías tocadas en el teclado, mientas que el Complex Oscillator suena desde el secuenciador.

El ejercicio es más de exploración del instrumento que propiamente musical. Traté de hacer un patch que permitiera tener a la mano distintos colores de los 2 osciladores del instrumento, haciendo interactuar de distintas formas el Pulser con el secuenciador y el envolvente.

Todo lo que suena proviene del Easel, incluidos el reverb y las desafinaciones. :)

Here are some first explorations on the Buchla Music Easel interface.

In short: an incredible interface, which allows you, within an apparently simple and small instrument, to achieve routing and complex configurations that give you an inexhaustible sound spectrum. These possibilities at the same time make the Easel a challenge, both to maintain a musical flow and to be constantly creative with the modulation options it offers. The sound is unique, and as such, you need to become familiar with it and explore all its possibilities. For this exercise I used the modulation oscillator as a normal oscillator, which in this case takes care of all the melodies played on the keyboard, while the Complex Oscillator sounds from the sequencer.

The exercise is more exploration of the instrument than properly musical. I tried to make a patch that would allow different colors of the 2 oscillators of the instrument to be at hand, making the Pulser interact with the sequencer and the envelope in different ways.

Everything that sounds comes from the Easel, including reverb and detuning. :)

"'Robotica' -- 2008, performance at LEMUR after my residency in May 2008 to write music for their music robots. (http://lemurbots.org)
I controlled the GuitarBot and various percussion bots using a Wii controller, my voice, and my custom Max patches w/ algorithms, Morse code and a polyrhythms. Text was created by an online 'poetry robot'.
dedicated to Al-Jazari, 13th century builder of automata."


via Joe: "The guy who spearheaded the robotic instruments project LEMUR (league
of electronic musical urban robots) is named Eric Singer and I saw some of the first instruments he was working on at his space in brooklyn, and I think they all responded to normal midi. Really cool stuff."
