M-Z3R0 - curcuit bent ULTRA VL1 (concertmate - 200) part 1 of 3 - preset sound and beat manipulation

YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0
"The first of three videos demoing my casio VL1 based project. This one concentrates on manipulating the preset sounds and beats to create electro rhythms and later on some very NIN year zero inspired sound effects over a distorted beat. Part two focuses on subtle melody and sound fx and part three shows it creating all out wall noise and PE style sonic hell.

Can be built on request. PM me if you're interested."

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent ULTRA VL1 (concertmate - 200) part 2 of 3 - melody with Subtle LFO and delay

"Part two of three of my casio VL1 demos. This focuses on melody and subtle use of the LFO and embedded delay, moving on to trippy sound effects and then veering off into noise territory. Part three shows the absolute extreme end of what this machine is capable of."

YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0
"Third part of three demoing my circuit bent concertmate - 200 based synth. (identical in every way to a casio VL1)....

EMS TKS, DK11 and RVG

via these auctions

"Extremly rare EMS TKS Sequencer Keyboard, 256 notes, similar to KS of the Synthi AKS suitcase. This is a very rare version for VCS3 mk2 or Synthi A with a very nice teak-type Danish looking wood cabinet. If you own a VCS3 MK1 old release, you can purchase an inexpensive power supply and modify a VCS3 jack to power the TKS."

"EMS Random Voltage Generator module (RVG) a good expansion for Synthi, very nice also for driving analog synthesizers and modular systems"

"vintage EMS DKII oscillator keyboard for VCS3, AKS , Synthi A (Mark 1 and 2) in excellent working and visual conditions... it has a built in oscillator for external modulations, the rear jack is the wave out."

Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now - First Reggae to Feature a Moog

YouTube via keithmintage
"Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now
Up and ticking again."

This one came in via Mikael Lindgren on the AH list: "This Johnny Nash song from 1972 is probably the first ever Reggea-influenced hit to feature the Moog modular synthesizer!?"

I never noticed it before. Listen to the end of the track for the filter sweeps.

Update via Mikael: "Yes, the rhythm brass chords were multi-tracked on a Moog modular (the one at Air Studios, UK). Fracis Monkman (Curved Air, SKY etc.) confimed this for me recenltly. Apparently it took an age to build up the synth parts. Francis also played the bass guitar on that song. It might have been George Martin's old Moog system but Francis wasn't sure."
