This song was created expressly for the 8-BIT OPERATORS 2009 tribute compilation 'Wanna Hld Yr Handheld'. (8bitoperators.com/beatles/)
The video was made with archival footage supplied by the Internet Moving Images Archive in association with Prelinger Archives. (www.archive.org)"

Timeline of Patchable Synths

via O'Reilly

Richard Lainhart caught the Synket, pictured below, was missing.

from the EMF Institute:
"The Synket (for 'Syn' thesizer 'Ket' off) was designed and built by Paul Ketoff in Rome, Italy, in 1964. Commissioned by the American Academy in Rome for its electronic music studio, it was a small, portable, keyboard-based performance-oriented synthesizer.

Its principal performer was John Eaton, who used it to compose and perform his Songs for RPB, for soprano, piano, and Synket, first performed at the American Academy in Rome in April 1965.

[below]: John Eaton seated behind the Synket in 1964."

See this post for one possibly shown at the 'Musee de la musique' in Paris.

Jomox T-Resonator Fun

YouTube via ovuori
"I made some experiments with my Jomox T-Resonator, toying with some minimal bleeps from Electribe EMX-1. T-Resonator is an outstanding effect/instrument (after tweaking it, I'm not sure which one it is). I bought it a couple of months ago to make some send effect modifications to tracks, which were quite boring. For this video, some extreme settings and a lot of feedbacks were used, so it is not necessarily a good demonstration of this product as such. T-Resonator is a very nice effect, when used with care.

Source bleeps can be heard at the beginning and in some locations in the middle of the video. Bass drum is Jomox MBase 01 and hihats are from EMX-1 + Kaoss Pad 3 as send effect. No additional modifications were made to the sound of T-Resonator, but a limiter was used when mixing tracks together.

I found there are same kind of videos about T-Resonator from Big City Music and those are better demonstration of this product. This video was created purely for fun :)"

Acid Fun with EMX-1 midi

YouTube via ovuori
"A short, improvised, live acid session using EMX-1 as midi controller and sequencer. All notes are played using EMX-1 and sent via midi to Cubase 4, where one instance of ADM and two instances of ABL2 are played. Bass drum midi notes are routed from EMX-1 to Jomox MBase 01. EMX-1 is totally quiet.

There is also some reverb from RE-20 space echo, which was external send effect in Cubase.

This was a kind of proof of concept that EMX-1 and Cubase work pretty well using this setup, even with external effects. Making this setup and playing/toying with it was fun.

This was also my second try to upload stereo material to Youtube.. No, it does not work by default."

Acid Symphony Orchestra [Helsinki August 13th 2009]

"Short video clip from Flow Festival Helsinki. There are ten TB-303's in this orchestra and one TR-707(?) operated by conductor Mr Jori Hulkkonen. This was very good performance, but unfortunately I only have some short clips with very bad audio quality. These guys were supporting Kraftwerk, which played excellent gig later. Imagine ten 303's from Kraftwerk PA system... Ahhh..."
