As a teaser:) I'm working (it's been 4 months now!) on an Eminent 310 emulation in NI Reaktor 5 with the help of Radek himself. No samples yet because I don't have a website (what a shame!)

But be sure to check NI Reaktor user's library for it. I did a ARP Solina emulation and this is sort the same league. I hope to finish it by the end of the year :-)"

Update: there's a funny moment at about 3 minute left in the video where JMJ realizes he needs to turn the keyboard on. He plays with the EMS Synthi and Putney towards the end of the video as well as with the Rolan dDJ70 which actually featured a scratch wheel.

In case you missed it, title link takes you to the original post. I just updated it with the correct link. These vintage ads are an amazing look back at what vintage analog was being dumped for when digital was all the craze.

video upload by crees22

"Jean Michel Jarre peformed a concert to parisian fans at the Eiffel Tower in 1995, it was named 'Concert Pour La Tolerance'. The under rated song 'Digi Sequencer' never appeared on any of his studio albums, although it did crop up on the live Hong Kong album back in 1994." Update: also see this video.

Electronic Music 101

via daddio:

"Your old classified post reminded me of a 'document' I saved from my college days. Circa 1972, this was handed out in my Electronic Music 101 class at U.M.B.C. (University of Maryland Baltimore County) taught by Felix Powell. Textbook for the class was Allen Strange's Electronic Music (which I still have), the one with the purple graphic on the cover. Our studio consisted of a Moog series III with the sequencer complement, a pair of suitcase Synthi's, a Teac four track w/SOS and a pair of Revox half track A77's (yes, we did 'fripper' them ;-).

Thought you and your readers might get a kick out of it.

btw,
These tunes were made in that studio:
01_Alma.mp3 (my first ever piece - no pun intended - lol)
02_DOM.mp3 ('vocals' added in '99) [not safe for work]

Sequentix P3

Click here for shots via this auction. These shots are about as good as it gets. Be sure to see them full size. There is also a nice shot of the x0xb0x in the set.

"Here's another one of those items where if you have come across the auction, you probably know what it is. Well, just in case you don't, this is one of the exceedingly rare Sequentix P3 hardware MIDI sequencers. According to Colin Fraser, the amazing man behind the Sequentix P3, there are only, at most, 247 of these sequencers in the world, with that number assuming that every single one sold as a kit was actually assembled. The real number of completed, functional P3 sequencers is probably far lower than this. It's very, very rare that one shows up on eBay, especially one as well-cared for and unused as this. This may be one of the nicest P3s left.

To quote from Sequentix's About P3 page:

The P3 Sequencer is an 8 track, hardware MIDI sequencer, with a user interface comprised of knobs, keys and LEDs. A sixteen character by two line PLED display provides confirmation of pattern data and access to advanced features and configuration options.

P3 allows real-time control of track mutes and simple pattern or pattern chain selection across multiple tracks, plus analogue-style editing of patterns. Each of its 384 patterns has independent values for note, velocity, tie, gate, length, gate delay, and a combination of up to four MIDI controllers, extra notes, or 'auxiliary events', per step.

P3's unique auxiliary events allow the creation of dynamically self-modifying patterns. They can grab values from other tracks, randomise steps, alter track and global settings, and much more. There are three modulation 'accumulators' per track, that can be used as LFOs, perform arpeggiation effects or enable complex pattern progressions.

Furthermore, you can assign front panel knobs to modify or mask these events in real-time, allowing you to create interactive patterns that change predictably as you adjust the knobs - varying in complexity, controlling levels of randomness, even 'morphing' from one pattern to another.

A Force-to-scale option provides preset and user-defined scales to keep everything in key (but defeat-able per pattern step if required), and a configurable 'change mode' allows patterns with different lengths and/or time-bases to free-run, or be synced to a global bar.

What's even better about this P3 is that it comes fitted with Sequentix's just-released (and essentially sold out) add-on for the P3, the P3 MemX Memory Expansion Board. Normally under the v4 firmware there are 24 bars of pattern storage for each of the 16 banks (384 bars total). With the MemX board installed there are 224 bars for each bank, bringing the total to 3584 bars! This is more than nine times the storage of most other Sequentix P3s. The P3 MemX was only available directly from Colin, but because because this P3 comes with the MemX installed, you don't have to worry about finding one, opening up the P3, and installing it yourself. It's already done! I will also include the memory chip which was removed in order to install the MemX, for... well... just in case you can find a use for it."
