"Memorymoog, Jupiter 8 and Waldorf Wave"

Update: The shot belongs to the Turnkey flickr set, so I'm guessing that is where it's from. Can anyone confirm? I heard Turnkey had a room filled with vintage gear but I didn't realize it looked this nice. I also heard most of the gear came from The Museum of Synthesizer Technology and Turnkey has indeed sold most of it off: link to a previous post on the Museum and Turnkey.

Update via GRONDO 2001 in the comments:
"This huge collection used to be there at the bottom floor, but it's been gone for the last 3 years. They used to offer some time in this 'lab' when you bought a hardware sampler, otherwise you couldn't access it. When they got rid of it, they didn't say anything, it was just gone one day, and today it's just another show room."

Update via anonymous in the comments:
"On a number of occasions they would shoot interviews there - anyone who remembers the C4 series "The Shape of Things That Hum" would remember Nick Rhodes being interviewed in there from the Fairlight episode... "

Phillip Werren - Electronic Music (1968-1971)

For those of you wanting to hear some Buchla. Title link takes to more info including a sample.

"In 1971 Phillip Werren released a 4 Lp box through Simon Fraser University of his early Electronic Work which was recorded at S.F.U., McGill University & Radio Warzawa, Poland. Only 100 copies where ever made. A few years ago I discovered this record and was completly blown away. The Lp has heavy elements of tape collage, Modular Synthisis, voice, and experimental thought. Some of the pieces where conceived by psychedelic and occult influences. Much of the record was done with a Buchla System 100,the first of their modular synthesizers. I tracked down Phil in Toronto where's he's been living a number of years. Phil taught music composition and theory at York University in Toronto from 1977 to 1997,where he headed York's Electronic Music Studio."

Prototype CV Sampler by Bruce Duncan of Modcan

Via Paul Sop:

"Bruce Duncan of Modcan completed a prototype of a CV sampler (vs. audio sampler). MP3's and discussions are in the Modcan Yahoo Group. He hopes to release it before the end of the year. He's been inundated with feature requests, CV delay, granulation, looping, etc... not withstanding, so if you have any specific needs for CV delay control, post to the Modcan Yahoo group so he knows your interest and can plan for it.

Update from Paul Sop:
"Here is a URL to a pic I took from the file area of the group:

http://www.paulsop.com/gear/modcan/cv_recorder.jpg

Here are 2 good mp3's (some examples are not so good):

cv_recorder_chained1.mp3
cv_recorder_Drumloop.mp3

The second one uses low-freq sampling of a drum loop. Bruce's CV sampler is not for audio (he's making one of those too), but it can be used for some really nice crunchy trance like low-freq effects too.

He also has examples using it as an LFO:
cv_recorder_LFO.mp3
cv_recorder_LFO2.mp3

The neat thing is, if you slow down the play back rate, the CV-Sampler becomes a sequencer. You could feed its output into a quantizer, and well, there you go!"

Awesome. Thanks Paul!

Tweak That Knob... By Frederic

Tweak that knob, this one too
Knew that sound, this one's new
Play a chord, E minor
Play some notes, then some more

Go, go, sequencers, go
Let me drift on your flow
Journey starts up the sky
Spread my wings, have to fly

Activate my fingers
Modulate my filters
VCO my hero
And nothing on zero

Night is light with music
Round and round synthetic
Journey starts up the sky
Spread my wings, have to fly

Bravo Frederic. I love synth poems. We need more of them.
