Elektron Octatrack Update - Scenes and the Optical Crossfader
follow-up to this post"The optical crossfader
Ruggedness and durability is paramount in a live setting and the smooth action 45mm crossfader meets these criteria with ease. Due to it being optical it is very resilient to both dust and humidity and with a life time rated to more than 5 million operations it is definitely going to stand the test of time. The crossfader in conjunction with the Scene functionality makes live improvisation with the Octatrack easy and rewarding.
Scenes
A Scene is a set of parameter values. All parameters that can be parameter locked can also be assigned to a Scene. At all times 16 Scenes are instantly available and ready to be assigned to the two Scene slots of the crossfader. The Scene assigned to slot A comes into full effect when the crossfader is at its leftmost position and the Scene assigned to slot B comes into full effect when the crossfader is at its rightmost position. For all other crossfader positions interpolation between the Scene parameters will occur. Scenes can be both muted and assigned in real time.
Scenes controlled by the crossfader make it possible to add sudden bursts of effects to a sound, make smooth transitions between tracks, pitch one loop up while another loop is being pitched down or to completely and utterly change the sound of a whole pattern. The choice is yours.
Check back every week for more Octatrack goodness!"

HAMMOND 102100 ANALOG SYNTHESIZER with Case
via this auction"THIS RARE VINTAGE MONOPHONIC ANALOG SYNTHESIZER (SERIAL # 392214) IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN WORKING CONDITION (ONLY AROUND 200 OF THESE WERE EVER PRODUCED!) - AND THIS ONE HAS EVERYTHING. IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY TESTED AND IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. EVERY KEY CONTACT FEELS & WORKS PERFECTLY - AND THIS SYNTHESIZER HAS A PARTICULARLY GREAT & ROCK SOLID, SMOOTH ACTION. ALL BUTTONS, SLIDERS & BOARD CONTACTS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
PROGRAMMING:THERE ARE SIX FACTORY PRESETS & ONE MANUAL PROGRAMMING POSITION ON THIS UNIT.
THE SIX PRESETS (FRENCH HORN, TUBA, VIOLIN, SAX, CLARINET & SOLAR ECHO) ARE PERMANENTLY FACTORY-PROGRAMMED PATCHES ACCESSIBLE BY THE COLORED BUTTONS TO THE RIGHT OF THE PROGRAMMER. IN ADDITION TO PROGRAMMING OPTIONS SUCH AS WAVEFORM SELECTION & OCTAVE RANGE, THERE ARE SEVEN FILTER POSITIONS, THREE FILTER CUT-OFF POSITIONS, THREE FILTER MODULATION POSITIONS, AND SEVEN FILTER ENVELOPE POSITIONS. THERE ARE TWO ATTACK SPEED POSITIONS & FOUR TYPES OF VCA ENVELOPE RELEASE. THERE ARE TWO PITCH MODULATION (VIBRATO) SETTINGS & ALSO OPTIONS FOR VIBRATO CONTACT DELAY.
THIS SYNTHESIZER HAS ONE OSCILLATOR WITH CHOICE OF TWO WAVEFORMS - SQUARE & SAWTOOTH. ALTHOUGH IT HAS A THREE-AND-A-HALF OCTAVE / FORTY-FOUR KEY KEYBOARD, IT HAS A SIX-AND-A-HALF OCTAVE RANGE. AS THIS UNIT WAS PRODUCED BY HAMMOND TO SIT ON TOP OF THEIR FAMOUS ORGANS, PROGRAMMING IS MODELED AFTER ORGAN DRAWBARS - THE THEORY BEING THAT ORGANISTS REMEMBER PATCHES BY DRAWBAR NUMBERS. FOR EXAMPLE, "444400200" ON A HAMMOND B3 EQUALS A CERTAIN TYPE OF LEAD SOUND. IT WORKS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY ON THIS SYNTHESIZER - ONCE YOU'VE DESIGNED A SOUND, IT BECOMES VERY EASY TO RECALL USING THIS SAME NUMBER SYSTEM.
THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE, YET SOLID-SOUNDING MONOPHONIC SYNTHESIZER WITH A GREAT KEYBOARD ACTION FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF ANALOG GLORY. IT BELONGS TO THE SAME GROUP OF EARLY MONO PRESET SYNTHESIZERS THAT INCLUDES THE ARP PRO SOLOIST, MOOG MINITMOOG & SATELLITE, ROLAND SH-1000, KORG MICROPRESET & MINIKORG."Korg x911 Analog Guitar Synth SN 271550
