CES Analog Computer

via this auction

"Your looking at a analog computer by CES. This is a CES Ed-Lab 700, it has banana plug jacks, used a banana to 1/4 jack interface to use this with my modular. If you have Modcan, Cynthia, or Serge this thing is ready to rock.

This analog computer features a clock (with two 180 degree outputs) , inveters, boolean logic, flip flops, Threshold Logic, Comparator OP-Amp, , volatge meter, AND, NAND, NOR, Exclusive - OR, switches and LED displays. All the logic you will ever need for complex sequences, triggers, and noise generators."

MINI KORG 700 SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"The unique sound of this synth will be familiar to fans of Reproduction and Travelogue era Human League also loved by The Cars, Kitaro and Vangelis. For such a small little synth it has a fantastic range of sounds, all with a classic 70's flavour. The depth and richness of tone cannot be emulated by modern virtual analogues like the MicroKorg. A funny little demo of the synth can be found on Youtube."

Roland RS-202

via this auction

note this is the one from this video.

"Roland RS 202 , string sound of the 70's The sound is warm and grainy and with a bit of external reverb you can really pull off a great synth string sound.

A great sounding analog string synth with an easy to use front control panel and containg the great roland ensemble sound used in so many roland synths of this era. Cosmetically this keyboard is ok , it has some chipped paint and scratches. Its in 100% working order and sounds great! I think it makes a great vintage analog gig instrument due to the fact of its heavy metal faceplate and being built into a flight case... a good article about the rs 202 from sound on sound"

Parallel Worlds "Shade"

A few new pics from Bakis of Parallel Worlds. Bakis has a new release out named "Shade". You can find more info on the release at DiN, the record label as well as Bakis' news page. You can find ordering details here. Some words on the production from Bakis: "almost no sampled percussion has been used in the whole "Shade" album. most of the percussion / drums and percussive loops have been synthesized in great detail, using the analogue modular walls. takes much time, but the results are worth it!"

BTW, you might also recognize the name Bakis from these posts. Bakis never fails to let us know when new Serge modules are announced. You will also find more images of his impressive studio, links to interviews, his music and more. He is the moderator of the Doepfer A100 list and was extensively involved with sound design for Analogue Systems. I have his CD, "Obsessive Realism" and it is excellent - brooding at times, angelic at others. It is filled with textures against analog percussive rhythms.


Update: album cover added to this post.

"Hammond-Style Sound by the RozzBox" Funny! :)

Update via Analog Suicide in the comments:
"I love the Over the RozzBox vid...this is Kilian's response vid to my "Over The Moogerfooger" video from last year- really funny when you watch them back to back...ha!!

Here's a link so that you can see them in context.

I think these machines are lovely , by the way. Does anyone own one? I need something for live.

MeggySeq 1.0 Released

You can find the full details here

"MeggySeq is a step sequencer for the Meggy Jr. RGB from Evil Mad Science

MeggySeq does not make any noise itself! It sends values over a serial connection to another device. I have built it to talk to an Arduino with a Wave Shield attached

MeggySeq has 8 patterns of 16 steps each. You can set each of those steps to play one of 8 WAV files on the waveshield. You can play the pattern back, stop it playing, and change the tempo. You can copy patterns from one slot to another. You can even save all 8 patterns from RAM to EEPROM so they won't be lost when you turn off the Meggy Jr.

You can loop patterns into longer compositions (up to 8 patterns long) and edit the patterns and pattern parameters (like tempo, loop length, and pattern length) without stopping playback.

You can edit one pattern while another is playing, and if you change patterns during playback, the first pattern will finish playing before jumping to the newly-selected pattern (or the next pattern in the loop if you've turned on looping)."
