606-prometheus-heliotrope

"The Diabolical 606 is back again. This time it's being shaped and mangled by the SubDecay Prometheus pedal and the Catalinbread Heliotrope.

The Prometheus is an absolutely beautiful sounding envelope filter.(Maybe not in this instance). This is one of the cleanest, most pure sounding filters out there. Really! It has up and down envelope modes as well as a super hip LFO/sample & hold modulation option. There are high, band and low pass modes that can be swept with the frequency knob. You can turn down the envelope amount and use it as a fixed filter too!

Last in the chain is the Catalinbread Heliotrope. This is a super affordable, versatile and great sounding pedal. You can get bit-crushing, crazed ring modulator effects, a nice distortion via the "gain" knob, and there are two modes. "Hi" mode is a more subtle setting for sample rate reduction and bit depth. "Low" mode will turn your source sound into a groveling pile of sloshy bits and digital nastiness. We'll try and do some more refined videos with these pedals soon.

Thanks for watching!"

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.
