"This is the one-of-a-kind Syndrum Quad, the hard-to-find first electronic drum made famous by the likes of the Cars, Terry Bozio, Roger Taylor of Queen and many others. If you've found this, you know what this is and the unique sounds it makes that you can't find anywhere else. The Quad was the most famous of the Syndrums models."

Casio CZ-1 61-key synthesizer

via this auction
"This is the big brother to the renowned CZ-101 which Casio released in the early 80's. The CZ-1 is the flagship of the CZ line and offered 2x the memory (64 patches plus the opportunity to have additional patches on cartridge [not included]), 8 voices each with 2 OSCs (while the CZ-101 has 4 voices).

The keyboard is touch sensitive and has aftertouch which can be bound to either VCA or modulation.

The CZ-1 has a pitch and mod wheel, inputs for volume expression pedal and a sustain foot-switch and Midi In/Out/Thru.

The Backlit LCD and dozens of discreet buttons, many bound to single functions, make editing a breeze."

BuchlaPoemEmsAvs

"Following a somewhat trashy treatment of Gilbert Desmée poem with the same "BuchlaPoemTransformPart2" patch. At 0'30, the voice of Gilbert went before going to the Buchla in the Ems Synthi Aks emulation Ludwig Rehberg, Ems Avs Vst). The patch allows the Avs to deal with a radical voice, with very percussive effects (1'20, 2'15, and 4,33) combined with a random sequence produced by the Avs in the first two oscillators. The Osc 2 module while the first 3 in LFO modulates Osc Osc 2. The voice becomes true electronic instrument.
Une suite un peu trashy du traitement du poème de Gilbert Desmée avec le même patch que "BuchlaPoemTransformPart2". A 0'30, la voix de Gilbert est passée avant d'aller dans le Buchla dans l'émulation VST du Synthi Ems Aks de Ludwig Rehberg, l'Ems Avs. Le patch de l'Avs permet de traiter de façon radicale la voix, avec des effets très percussifs ((1'20, 2'15, et 4,33) combinés à une séquence aléatoire produite par l'Avs des deux premiers oscillateurs. L'Osc 2 module le premier tandis que l'Osc 3 en LFO module l'Osc 2. La voix devenant véritable instrument électronique."

OP-1 Live Performance

YouTube Uploaded by djthomaswhite on Mar 20, 2011

"Okay, this one deserves a long description. I wanted to test the FM Radio out. I figured I should learn how to sample at the same time. I knew the drum sampler has 12 seconds sampling time and can cut the 12 second sample up with map points to play pieces of it across the keyboard. So, I turned on the FM radio as the record input and found the Soul Man song playing on a station. I recorded 12 seconds of it. I then mapped certain points of it to keys in the drum sampler. Then I started the Pattern Sequencer so I could sequence the samples into a 4 beat loop. Once I had 4 Pattern Sequencer tracks of the sample playing I recorded it to Track 4 of the Tape.

Then I needed a back beat. Dialed up the Drum Sampler, made a 16-step beat sequence with Pattern Sequencer and recorded it to Track 1 of the Tape.

Decided to then try the internal Microphone to see if the Tape could be used like a plain old 4-Track recorder. Yep. I recorded myself singing some Soul Man stuff to Track 2 of the Tape and overdubbed around 4 takes. Overdub is always on so you simply have to let it loop to layer your voice or other instruments. NOTE: Could make an excellent guitar looper by the way.

Track 4 of the Tape would be a second set of my vocals, this time with some sustained notes, overdubbed to thicken my cheap voice.

That was the basis if what I planned in total. But my finger accidentally hit one of the keys when I was in Tape mode. The drum sequencer was still on playing the drum pattern. Hmmm... so I changed the drum kit to the FM sample slot where the Soul Man samples were. The drum pattern made the 4 beat loop repeat every beat. I added Punch FX to filter this loop sound and assigned the G-Force motion sensor to control the filter Frequency of the Punch FX.

Add it all up with some ridiculous dance moves, arm pumping and live tweaking in my living room and you have this video. I knew this OP-1 would be cool. But I am starting to think it may be a game changer for me and my music process. Research continues. Back to the lab for more experiments..."
