The new Deluxe Memory Man will feature the exact same warm analog circuit, but now in a more pedalboard-friendly enclosure." Note if you like the current case, now is the time to get one.

YouTube via d21d34c55 "In the 70's, Rainer Wehinger created a visual listening score to accompany Gyorgy Ligeti's Artikulation. I scanned the pages and synchronized them with the music. Enjoy!" via vgermuse "I just stumbled across this little piece of electronic music history: a 1970's visualization by Rainer Wehinger of Ligeti's electronic music piece Artikulation composed at the Studio of Electronic Music of the West German Radio in Cologne in 1958 just using tape and oscillators."
According to Wikipedia Rainer Wehinger explored Musical Analysis: "Musical analysis can be defined as an attempt to answer the question how does this music work?. The method employed to answer this question, and indeed exactly what is meant by the question, differs from analyst to analyst, and according to the purpose of the analysis. According to Ian Bent (Bent, 1987), analysis is "an approach and method [that] can be traced back to the 1750s ... [though] it existed as a scholarly tool, albeit an auxiliary one, from the Middle Ages onwards."
The principle of analysis has been variously criticized, especially by composers, such as Edgard Varèse's claim that, “to explain by means of [analysis] is to decompose, to mutilate the spirit of a work” (quoted in Bernard 1981, 1)."
followed by "The process of analysis often involves breaking the piece down into relatively simpler and smaller parts. Often, the way these parts fit together and interact with each other is then examined. This process of discretization or segmentation is often considered, as by Jean-Jacques Nattiez (1990), necessary for music to become accessible to analysis. Fred Lerdahl argues that discretization is necessary even for lay perception, thus making it a basis of his analyses, and finds pieces such as Artikulation by György Ligeti unaccessible, while Rainer Wehinger (1970) created a "Hörpartitur" or "score for listening" for the piece, representing different sonorous effects with specific graphic symbols much like a transcription."

"Hey folks, tired of imperfect sine waves? Lifeless waveforms? Annoying ground hum? Less then stunning frequency modulation and inaccurate pitch tracking? Say goodbye to all of that and enter into a new era of synthesis! All of the hottest analogue trend setters are relying on the ultimate analogue power source: Electric Eels!

French blog on the Oberheim OB-Mx. Googlish translation here. "If the Operating System of your OB-Mx is still version 1.01 (04/18/94) or 1.04 (06/20/94), you can switch to version 2.00, simply by replacing the original EPROM. You can customize the greeting of the OB-Mx eg replacing "version 2.00 11/27/95" with "I am your father Luke"... "

This is a very boring video of me going through all the features I can think of showing you that everything works. The keyboard has a damaged key as you can clearly see in the video, but besides that everything is completely functional. The sound in the video is taken from the MS2000 directly. No external effects have been applied - what you hear is the synth and nothing else." click the images for the full size shots.
"the teaspoonCAS [ cream and sugar ] is a handheld voltage controlled degenerative looping granular lofi sampling engine, or something like that. i've taken a few liberties with it in an attempt to make it as universally applicable as i could manage. knobs cover gain, volume, storage size, granular window and feedback. toggles allow real time speed / pitch modulation, self triggering window, and window hold. then there is larger set of controls inside the case featuring touch pads, circuit bends, range extensions, input conversion and feedback loops. the input / pre will accept anything from direct guitar input to synth level. the window input will take just about any active voltage you can feed it and together with the length and threshold knobs it allows control over the window with enough detail to respond to higher audio frequencies which can allow for options like voltage controlled wave shaping, etc... the SLF switch sends the main audio to the window input and uses it as the control source allowing you to walk away from rhythmically synced sample playback. this input can also be used with a simple sustain pedal to allow remote use. the CV input gives remote control over the currently available size of the sampler which can reach nearly one second though at the enjoyable cost of fidelity. like the window input it will accept both AC and DC sources [ 6vdc ~ +/-3v ] which means that you can use anything from standard modular sources to DAW based audio editors to draw out shapes. CV input sensitivity together with the huge size range allows for an effect not unlike ring modulation when in pitch mode, the modulation source needs to be rather loud though. you can also insert a passive expression pedal with no other changes needed allowing the CAS to operate hands free, but you can now just shake the CAS to trigger the window so it might spend more time in your hand"
