Modular patching with Expert Sleepers Silent Way and ES-3

YouTube via expertsleepers | February 09, 2011 |

"A real-time demo of using Expert Sleepers Silent Way and a modular synth, connected via the Expert Sleepers ES-3 Lightpipe/CV interface.

First the oscillator is connected and calibrated using the Silent Way Voice Controller plug-in. Then a simple patch is made using a VCA and an envelope generator, triggered by a gate signal from Silent Way.

Other modulation options are then explored, using another envelope from the Voice Controller, the Silent Way Step LFO plug-in, and the Silent Way LFO plug-in.

"PipeKeys HD" and "PipeKeysB HD" - Uilleann Pipes Keyboards for the iPad

YouTube via tradlessons | February 09, 2011 |

"PipeKeys HD is an expressive, authentic sounding concert pitch 3/4 set of Uilleann pipes chanter, drones, and two regulators in the form of a standard two octave piano keyboard.

PipeKeysB HD is the same, but three half-steps lower in the key of B and has a mellower sound.

The range of the chanter is from D4 to B5.

Touch the drone puck image to switch the drones on and off.

Play the regulator chords on the top and bottom halves of the lowest two notes (C and C#) on the keyboard.

For a bigger drone sound, you may enable an optional stereo flanging effect for the drones on the settings page. This is particularly effective in headphones.

Finger vibrato, as is done on the real instrument, can be added by sliding back and forth along the length of the chanter keys. The note C has an extended pitch bend range as typically used when playing a real chanter.

You can even play along with the music on your iPad by playing the track and then launching PipeKeysHD.

Adjust the volumes using the sliders.

The sounds are recorded from my personal set of Uilleann pipes and are of extremely high quality."

Waldorf's Intro on the Black Blofelds

"Deep in the subterranean Waldorf Laboratories, our scientists have finally discovered the finish that delivers the best sound. We almost had forgot about them when they resurfaced and proudly presented the result of their almost endless struggle to find the ideal material: Neither Mauve nor Lavender nor Ochre result in optimal sound, but a special electron absorbing coating in deep black.

The explanation is simple: more absorbed electrons reach the inner digital and analog workings of Blofeld and cause each bit to be stronger pronounced, resulting in a very defined and detailed sound. This makes our new Black Blofeld sound even better than before.

The new black Blofeld is produced 100% in German Schwarzarbeit and is available only on the black market."

New Steiner Synthasystem Complete!

via Analogue Realities:

"I pronounce the Synthasystem fully resurrected. The last module was the Ring Modulator. Nyle spent a couple of hours with me today and it works. I can now make the order for a small production run of the last three PCBs. The panels are done and now I'm going to build my modules.

I'll update the web pages over the next few days and get the module information up to date."

For those that haven't been following, Nyle Steiner is behind this. He has been working with David of Analogue Realities to bring the Steiner Synthasystem back to life. Note this is not a one off restoration. These are new modules initially available for order as DIY kits. Last I checked in with David, eurorack would be coming. A new Steiner Synthasystem modular has just made it into being. See the links above for more info and the label below for posts featuring Nyle Steiner's work.

Antonelli 2610 SOLISTA IV

via this auction

"The sound is very cool and has a dope phaser effect. Very ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) and power plant like. Also has a rhythm section that is typical for it's age. We could not find any info on it because it so rare, but our guess is that it is from the late seventies."
