MATRIXSYNTH

Couple of shots of Brandon Daniel sent my way via r. That's him with the super short hair and black shirt. I figured why not put up an image of the man that brought us all the great NAMM shots via fdiskc. Thank you Brandon.

I should also say thanks to Moose of MIDIzoo.com for his great set as well.

Thanks guys, you made this year's Winter NAMM a whole lot better.

Groove Electronics M303

Title link takes you to a couple more shots pulled from this auction.

Details:
"The M303+ is a Roland TB303 (without the sequencer) modified by groove electronics to have midi control, also added sync 24 to start a tb303 with a clock from your pc or mac,,, and ,,,an added midi to cv convertor for another analogue synth without midi,,

Very handy kit to bridge the gap between midi and cv gate technology.

we used this on nearly all our old shades of rhythm material , we used the sync 24 to sync an original roland tb303 with our pc using cubase , we used the modified built in roland tb303(without sequencer) using normal midi and we used the additional midi to cv gate to turn our sh101 into a midi synth.. a true work horse ;)

The M303 + is a dual channel MIDI to CV converter with an analogue voice module fixed to the Channel A CV controls.
The M303 voice is very similar to that found on the TB303 Bassline, and incorporates all the same front panel controls as found on that machine.These controls are self explanatory, and a few minutes spent with the machine will inform you of the range of sounds available.
Differences include the ability to control the voice from MIDI with pitchbend on any assignable receive channel, and control of the cut-off frequency from velocity information.
The manual supplied is that of the M2CV as this explains all the programmable parameters that are available on this machine.
Please Note,
Any parameter described in the M2CV manual will be available for control af the 303. ie Mod wheel or aftertouch could replace velocity as the controlling information routed to the filter. Transpose can be used to alter range of 303. Remember however that at power up, the unit defaults to the same set of parameters.
The unit is fitted with SYHC 24 output, arp triggering and of course a free set of CV, LEVEL and GATE outputs to independantly control another monosynth."

25 Years of SCD

Remember this post? It looks like the DVD will be ready in the second half of February and Boele is currently taking pre-orders now. Title link takes you there. You will find entire tracks with notes on what insturments were used. Many tracks showcase the Waldorf line of synths. Note that the DVD will have tracks not available via the site.

Update: I originally stated that all tracks on the DVD were available on site. This is NOT the case. There are tracks on the DVD that are not available on site. I misunderstood when conversing with Boele via email. My sincerest apologies for this. I will be putting up a new post to let people that may not find this particular post again.
