"New kid in town" - and some stones.

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Jul 26, 2011

"Skibelund Krat is a memorial place where a lot of carved stones tells the story about local heroes, politicians, brave soldiers, and other people who has done something memorable for the community.

The music is something I made in 1999 on Yamaha HE-8 organ, Roland CR-1000 drum machine, and Yamaha PSS-12 keyboard with a homemade flanger. The song is "New kid in town" originally recorded by the Eagles and in Denmark it was recorded in a Danish version called "Nyt kød i byen" by a band named Musikministeriet."

"Demo of my Roland SH 101 synthesizer. All keys, knobs and faders work as well as the CV inputs! I also demo the Arpeggio and sequencer features.

Also, I demo the CV inputs (gate and control voltage) with a unit called Flight Of Harmony Choices.

A note about the sound on this video: Left speaker is the room audio recorded with my camera. Right speaker is clean audio recorded from the synthesizer to my DAW (Ableton Live thru a RME Fireface 800)."

Triadex Muse - 1972 Vintage Digital Music Sequencer

via this auction

"History
The Triadex Muse is the first digital musical composition instrument. It is a sequencer based tone synthesizer and it was first produced in 1972. Essentially, the Muse is a deterministic algorithmic event generator that uses early digital integrated logic circuits to generate an audio output that produces a sequence of notes based on the settings of various parameters. In the 1970's when most synthesized music makers were huge and cost thousands, the Triadex Muse was a reasonably sized tabletop model and cost $300. Only a few hundred (we think around 300) were produced and they were never made available in stores. The Muse was designed by two famed MIT professors, Marvin Minsky and Edward Fredkin. At the time, Minsky was moonlighting on the movie set of '2001 A Space Odyssey', teaching Stanley Kubrick about Artificial Intelligence as he created Hal. Isaac Asimov described Minsky as one of only two people he would admit were more intelligent than he was, the other being Carl Sagan. Ed Fredkin was an early pioneer of digital physics. In 1980, Carnegie Mellon U. created the Fredkin Prize, to be awarded to the creators of the first computer to win the World Chess Championship. The Muse was designed to replace a radio - why listen to old music when this neat-o box can make new music?

How it Works
The front panel sliders, which control the melodies that are generated, allow for the possibility of 14 trillion musical note combinations. The four small sliders in the lower-left control Volume, Tempo, Pitch, and Fine Pitch. The switches to either side of the sliders are used to start and stop the sequence, or to step through it note-by-note. Of the eight larger sliders on the right, four control the musical intervals used (labeled A, B, C, and D), and four control the theme (labeled W, X, Y, and Z). There is also a "Rest" toggle switch at the lower right which acts as a "lowest note".

Details
The musical computer is housed in a sleek mid-century modern wedge shaped finished wood and brushed aluminum case. Located at the upper left of the unit panel is the internal speaker.
It measures 10 inches high x 11 inches deep x 13-1/2 inches wide.
The cosmetic condition of this Muse is good, but it has seen some use and it is almost 40 years old. It is missing the on/off switch, however the switch is in the ON position, so when you plug it in, it works. There is a scratch in the brushed aluminum above the tempo slider, and the wood has warped a little bit and has some surface scratching here and there around the case. The electrical cord has also been cut at some point, not all the way through but enough to expose the copper inside. It has been repaired with some electrical tape and hasn't had any issues since.

Jomox Xbase 09 With Xrom Sample Bank Mods & Case

via this auction

SN 138376
"The person I bought this from told me that it was formerly owned by Voice of Saturn founder Travis Thatcher for what it's worth (I have no verification of this, but don't see why it would have been made up). The bass drum on this is amazing and covers so much territory. The snare is snappy as any other drum machine. With the Xrom mod - this drum machine can pretty much become its own analog synthesizer dance machine...

This unit was serviced by Three Wave Music in Northern NJ less than a month ago and is function without problem and 0 bugs...

The exact unit can be seen here and was shot the day before this auction started: [posted here]

The xrom modification can be read up upon here

This exact unit can also be heard here in some of my demo track on soundcloud, specifically in the songs "nice to know you" and "funkadellica":
