Hammond NOVACHORD Synthesizer Service Manual

via this auction

"This is an original (not a photocopy) service manual for the Hammond Novachord 1930s tube synthesizer. Actually, it's two complete copies of the manual, both 2nd edition, but different revisions. One is rev 1051 and the other is rev 1246. I don't know what the difference in the revisions is."

VERMONA CROSS FILTER analog filter

via this auction

"This is the vermona cross filter. unique piece of gear, set up 2 filter sounds and morph between them, or use them separately. very useful in the studio with balanced ins and outs. The CROSS FILTER is the big brother of the ACTION FILTER II. The most noticeable feature is the useful desktop housing and the chrome fader in between both CUTOFF knobs. With that you can fade between filtered and unfiltered signal to generate handmade rhythmical effects or simply got a mix between direct - and effect signal.

Also new is the possibility to move adjusted band-stop or band-pass ranges through the whole frequency spectrum. The CROSS FILTER is equipped with TRS in- and outputs as well as RCA in- and outputs, as well as the internal power supply. The CROSS FILTER is a very handy tool for live situations, but also in the studio for filtering samples or whole tracks."

Shashkin (or Ya Ein Moulayetin) on Korg Electribe EMX

YouTube via rudeog | November 06, 2010

"The song Shashkin was recorded by Omar Faruk Tekbilek however I believe it has its roots as a traditional bedouin song. It was popularized at one time by Samira Tawfik in the song Ya Ein Moulayetin. Like any old song, it's roots and ownership will be disputed.
The song is played on the bayati maqam (arabic scale). Since the electribe can't play this scale due to it being microtonal, I had to resort to monkey business to get it to sound (almost) correct. I didn't do much with the arrangement, FX or drums as I was focusing more on getting the microtones of the scale. I edited the video down to shorten it as it was originally 5 minutes."

Two PDX Synth Gathering Pics - Custom EML/MMM and Buchla

Some pics via George Mattson of Mattson Mini Modular. The top two are from the recent PDX Synth Gathering. You can see a Mattson Mini Modular system on top of a panel. The panel is George's custom work and is part of his massive EML Modular Restoration project (see this post). There are two close-ups of the panel below. The second shot are two Buchla 200es. The left is Citizen Mori's and the right Dougcl's who hosted the event.
