Dr Blankenstein Circuit Bent Fender Stratocaster Guitar

Circuit Bent Fender Stratocaster Guitar Demo 2 Published on Oct 22, 2012 by DoctorBlankenstein

http://www.drBlankenstein.com

"This video is of a Modified Fender Stratocaster Guitar. It has Dr. Blankenstein's ILLUMIRINGER Motion Controlled Ring Modulator built directly into the guitar under the pick guard!

I felt (and maybe acted) a bit like the late great crocodile hunter in this video... well that is pretty much how I felt when I plugged this sucker in. Not having any idea what strange sound I was going to be able to produce next, and with each new one (as usual) I grow more excited. What can I say... I seriously love this stuff! haha

This is the video of it's FIRST EVER (I'm too excited to string it) single guitar string demo! Actually that is a good thing to keep in mind while watching it, notice how many octaves I am able to get... the string in the video is a high E string... fretted at G (ahhh who cares, this is a rock n' roll test after all). The point is... make sure to take NOTE.

I will be putting up more videos of this mod, including one with delay and distortion... as well as six strings. This could very well be the first kit to hit http://www.drBlankenstein.com ... I guess it depends on feedback I get... so please make sure to leave comments and subscribe. Thanks for watching! :)"

Custom Moog Modular System 55 For Sale

"Modules Included: 901, 901A, 3-901B, 4-902, 903, 2-904A, 904B, 907A, 4-911, 911A, 921, 951, 960, 961CP, 962CP, 984, 991, custom 994 (3x), 2-CP3A, CP4A, upgraded CP8A


This Custom Moog Modular System 55 has two very unique features: Two 904A low pass filters and both the 901 and 921 series oscillators. Having two 904A's greatly expands the flexibility of the sound engine and the addition of the 921 control oscillator adds functionality while maintaining the richness of the sonically superior 901 series. The system also has an upgraded power supply which helps maintain oscillator stability. This synthesizer was not designed to be looked at or used as a fancy minimoog -it was built to be a complete and complex electronic sound machine. $62,000.00 For show in LA, CA. Serious inquires and buyers only contact: info@aisounddesign.com"

Update via 3P in the comments: "Not a 55. Module placement is different, the Moog module logos are Trumansburg/Williamsburg era. And there are no 921 Series oscillators."

And via Unknown in the comments, there's actually a 921 in the system. Top row to the left of the four channel mixer, pictured here to the left.

Update2 via the seller: "What is meant by 'System 55' is basically a main cab with single tier, rather than a 35 which was just the main cab. "Module placement is different" ie "Custom." Looks like a 921 and there are a lot of RA Moog logos. This system is a unique design; a hybrid of multiple generations. Also note that the 962CP is very rare, most module lists don't seem to mention it."


Update3 via Brian in the comments: "Likely NOT delivered from the factory that way. It is what it is, but calling it a System 55 is not correct. The 901 oscillators were discontinued in 1972, when the 921's replaced them. At the time, NO ONE felt the 901s were superior in any way (some of us now think differently). I see a mixture of RAMoog (1960s generally) and Moog Music modules there (1972 and later), too.


Again - any customer could order anything from the factory, but it's highly unlikely this was ordered this way; rather it is built from traded in-out components to make a great system. I'd MUCH prefer to have one like this with both sets of oscillators. All the MAJOR synths by major players were not stock catalog versions, but custom rigs for their needs."

Update4: via Moog1P in the comments: " The bottom cabinet looks to be an early 1C configuration. Every component is there, with the blank panels replaced with the 962CP and 961CP. The placement of the two CP3 mixers would have been to the left, under the 901AB bank and under the 901. At some time the system looks to be upgraded with the installed CP961/962 sequencer components, where the CP blanks were removed, and CP3's moved to the right.

Would be an early 1C as this one has the very first Lexan type lighted flip switchs, only seen on late '67, early'68 models. All the correct lexan switches are there, two sets for the oscillators, and a set for the filter, with trigger/envelope routing, making the cabinet a 1C. The 2C would have 3 CP3 mixers, and the 3C would have 4 CP3 mixers with no CP routing switches, as they were on seperate 1U panels for filter and trigger/envelope.


The module placement above is what you would order any way you wanted. Not uncommon to order a 1C with an extra 901C, and to ommit the 905 reverb to add the 904B high pass filter, direct from the factory. Looks like what we have here. The only other addition to the lower cabinet is the 1U blank replaced with 911A trigger delay. And at some time (definitely not Moog), the removal of the Cinch male S-trigger from the 1/2/3 trigger outputs. (Probably done when the CP3's were moved and 961/962CP added.)

The upper cabinet is an add on, possibly at a later time, but could have been part of the original order. At that time the additional 984 quad mixer, envelopes, VCA's were added. The 960 sequencer, probably added much later, when the bottom CP panels were moved. And much later 921 added. Does not look to me to be a unit made from other Moogs, but rather a 1C with a few add-ons. Everything is there from an early 1C with many period correct additions. Very nice unit, only missing the 905 reverb and 956 ribbon controller. Wouldn't take much to undo those questionable mods to restore this to original specs."

EOWAVE MAGMA Now Available

"Eowave analogue bassline synthesizer with sequencer and memory

After 2 years of development, we're proud to announce the release of the MAGMA, Eowave's new analogue bassline synthesizer with sequencer and memory.

The MAGMA makes you go back into the 80's sounds with sonorities like Eurythmics, Nitzer Ebb, Depeche Mode... The sound engine is inspired from the SH series by Roland, which had this waveform mix and a sequencer. Though, the idea of the MAGMA was not to make a copy of a vintage synth, but to build a new synth with the best of today's analogue and digital technology. We wanted to build a synth with a very specific texture of sound, sounds like the magma, something warm, thick and fat. We've added modern controls and a memory with 256 presets. Presets can be edited with a free editor. USB connection offers MIDI over USB and firmware update of the sequencer.

VCO Section
The MAGMA is monophonic, but with the desync of the sub-oscillator, you could think it has more than one oscillator!!!! The mix between the four waveforms is incredibly versatile and can create infinite variety of sounds.
- Analogue VCO with square saw sub
- Sub can be 1 or 2 octaves below the master freq.
- A mixer allows to freely mix the four waveforms for infinite sound designs. The VCO can be modulated by LFO and env3.
- Variable glide

Filter section
The filter is a 24 dB low-pass filter also inspired from classical filters from the 80s. It's full analogue and can be modulated by env2, KB, lfo. An external audio with a trimmer allows to feed the filter.

Envelope section
- 3 envelopes:
1 envelope for the pitch (AD),
1 envelope for the filter (ADSR),
1 envelope for the VCA (ADSR)

VCA section
The full analogue VCA is affected to env1. 2 envelopes ADSR modulate respectively the amplitude and the filter. Attack goes from 2ms to 10s.

LFOs section
Two LFO with 8 waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random, digital noise, staircase up, staircase down)

Sequencer
Like on the SH series, the MAGMA has a sequencer. It's a 16 step sequencer with LED.
- 4 rows: 1 row controls gates and notes.
- 3 other rows are freely assignable to any parameter of the front panel.
Recent addition: We added Swing and shuffle per note.

Memory
The MAGMA is one of the only analogue synth with memory. You can recall 256 presets.

The MAGMA is made in France. All units are mounted, checked and tuned by Eowave."

Changeling Sequencer 1.3 for iPad

"Changeling is the super easy, flexible, diatonic chord sequencer.

It's purpose is to help people enjoy composing music by providing the basic tools to improvise!
Improvisation is a skill that can normally only be obtained by investing a lot of discipline and time in to studying music theory and practice.

Changeling does not generate compositions for you, you remain in full creative control over your music.
All recorded musical notes remain relative, and can be changed in various ways during playback.

Basic instructions:

1. Start by recording a simple melody-line with one finger.
2. Change the scale and root by sliding the ribbons.
3. Transform the melody to a chord progression by turning the chord knob.
4. Play around with the available voicings and transition modes that affect chord inversions.
5. Spread out the chord notes over time using the arpeggiator.
6. Switch to the next track by swiping down on the pattern area.
7. Change to playback mode, and start improvising a solo over the chord progresssion until you hear something that you really like!
8. Rinse and repeat!

Use Changeling's 16 MIDI channels to record patterns to your DAW or other MIDI capable IOS apps.
Or send an exported sequence via email to someone you are collaborating with."
