Synthesizer Player's Stairway to Heaven:aka On The Run PlanB

YouTube via dkimcg
"The only song I knew how to play on my first guitar was Stairway to Heaven and Smoke on the Water. This lasted a few years as I played it and Pink Floyd ballads to try to impress the girls. I wasn't very impressive, not a great guitar player, but knew how to play Stairway to Heaven dammit. Me and millions (literally) of others. So when I was watching some videos on youtube and listening to Dark Side of the Moon at the same time, it all syncs up like the wizard of oz! I realized that the synth loop in On The Run was kinda like something you had to do if you play around with synths and sequencers. Well, at least in my head. So, today I spent some time figuring out the Model 17 Triple Event Timer. The trick is to use low frequencies, really low frequencies, like cycles that take seconds or maybe even a whole 16 bars or something. I could see using it with a few Model 10's, One to drive at a leisurely pace, maybe even over a whole song since it can generate an envelope that's minutes long. Chain some more Model 17s to trigger more 17s, on man...I should get back to max/msp or i'll go broke! Anyhow. I came up with this version of on the run. I used my phone video camera, so the video sucks, but I think the sound should be ok. You can definately hear the triple timer triggering 3 different events. Neat. I think I figured out the technical side of all the modules, now time to make music...

Enjoy this synth cliche! I had fun making the patch.

Revolution is the master sequencer, but it has it's CV modulated with a signal out of the modular. The modular also controls the feedback on the Moogerfooger delay. The slow envelope that the triple timer follows the LFO in the Moogerfooger CP-251, the envelopes on the Paia are used to modulate or VC something, I forget what exactly. I don't document my patches so far, I probably should."

Hmm....
"AKAI VX600 ANALOG 12VCO POLY SYNTH VINTAGE! Rich Warm sound of matrix Analog Synthesiser made in Japan 1988 and it's a cool brother of OBERHEIM EXPANDER

AKAI VX600 is 12VCO(2VCO per 1VOICE) 6 voice polyphonic programmable analog synthesizer it was a last japanese pure analog synthesizer in '80s few quantities were built,so very hard to find even in Japan nowadays I changed LCD uint,backlight,backup battery before this auction so this is your first and last chance to get this monster synth in such a good condition!

this modular matrix analog synthesizer is very similar to OBERHEIM EXPANDER synthesizer AKAI adopted basic schematics made by OBERHEIM, so actually VX600 and OBERHEIM EXPANDER uses same voice chip so basically VX600's sound is same as OBERHEIM EXPANDER sound, very fat and warm! but my opinion,VX600 is more fatter than OBERHEIM EXPANDER especially brass, strings, and lead sounds are really great you can use 12VCO for 6 voice polyphonic or unison all 12VCO to monophonic lead sound(CAUTION!it's very FAT!) and also can use as multi timbre 6 different voices, it's very frexible.

VX600 has variety of modulation source and destination to program sound modulation source including MIDI control change, so you can use MIDI controller to tweak cut off etc.. and very cool feature is external audio in jack so you can synthesize external sounds using analog filter and other parameters

VX600's major problem is dead backlight of LCD screen(due to the ages) but I changed LCD unit and backlight before this acution,so no problem about it I also changed backup battery and restore the factory sounds(few sounds made by myself) so it's perfectly working condition!!

The VX600 is a 6 voice 37 key analog synthesizer featuring traditional concept of modular patching. Two VCOs/voice give you the thick rich sound of analog synthesis to create lush warm string sections,full round "FAT" bass lines, enhanced vocal and rhythm sections, powerful crisp brass sections, and eerie SFX sounds. patch programs are stored in memory program.Each programs can have a maximum of 6 key group splits with each key group having it's own library sound "patch", MIDI channel,and voice allocation. Up to 40 different program combinations can be stored in memory. A special code memory function allows you to play an entire 6 instruments stack from one key.And a dedicated connector jack allows direct connection to the EVI1000 and EWI1000 wind synthesizers.The VX600 combines rich warm analog sounds with the advanced performance control of digital technology to create a powerful new dimension in analog synthesis.(from catalog)"

"This is an insanely cool 48-voice vintage synth. Fewer than 500 were ever manufactured, so there aren't too many around these days. Do believe the hype - there's really nothing else like it. You can listen to audio samples by clicking here. Additional Fizmo info can be found here and you can download a copy of the user manual here."

Don't forget the regulator fix.
