"A rare vintage demo record for the Moog 900 series synths, released by Moog when they were in Trumansburg, NY. Music by Wendy Carlos of Switched On Bach fame, narration by Ed Stokes.

There are apparently two versions of this demo record in existence. This one, presumably the first version, with duplicate content on both sides, and a second with excerpts from Switched on Bach on the reverse,"

Update:

Re-Upload video description:

"This is a very cool find. This is a copy of the 1967 Moog 900 Series modular synthesizer demo record. This was given to people interested in the new Moog synthesizer. This is uploaded for educational purposes only, and also to show the historical significance of early electronic music. Hope you enjoy."

ParamDrum TR Edition

ParamDrum TR Edition from Peter Dines on Vimeo.

"The main idea behind ParamDrum is to have a fun and fast way of not only prototyping beats, but of creating variations that can be saved and recalled either in live performance or recorded and arranged into the backbone of a track."

Reaktor drum machine with parameter locks from Peter Dines on Vimeo.

"This is a granular drum sampler I'm working on in Reaktor that has Elektron MachineDrum style parameter locks. I think it sounds pretty good so far. Note the ridiculously low CPU usage - 2 percent, not bad, ey?

At the moment, the knobs are used to write looping parameter automation per step, and this works great with Kore 2 hardware controllers, but entering percussion sequences must be done with the mouse. I've tried using a MIDI keyboard to enter data but it's hard and fiddly to get the exact velocity you want on a given step, and a pain to remove steps.

I'm going to wait till my Maschine arrives and use its drum pads to trigger sequence entry. The sequencer doesn't send MIDI yet, but the controller does and from everything I've heard it's a joy to use."

Don Hassler and The Original Electronic Book

via fastheadache where you'll find the full post including samples.

"The story as I understand it, and this is painfully paraphrased from Don Hassler's telling of the story in detail, is that at one point in time Carter Thomas constructed this Serge himself during a course at CalArts instructed by Serge Tcherepnin. Morton Subotnick had devised this synthesizer construction course in order to get electronic instruments under the students control earlier rather than later in their studies."
