a sucker for random - New Release by Franz Schuier

via Franz Shuler (also posted on MATRIXSYNTH-C)

"I finally finished it and would like to share with fellow synth lovers.

Except the drums and a bit of tertazzi and sunsynth here and there, the E.P. was done on a small buchla and a 5 panel serge.

"a sucker for random"

5 track E.P. exploring random voltages.

All tracks are based on underlying drumtracks programmed with analog drummachines. In contrast to the drumlines, the synths are driven by numerous random voltage techniques, using a Buchla Source of Uncertainty, Serge SSGs, Ciat Lombarde gear and a Serge TKB. More randomness was created by crossmodulating sources. E.g.: The SSG used the respective drum machine noise as source for the S&H.

Tracks were not arranged, but recorded as multitrack and then mixed/muted later on an analogue desk.

"STYLOPHONE 350S

The huge older brother to the small stylophones of the late 60's early 70's, this is a rare and amazing sounding synthesizer.

One rare & amazing sounding synthesizer, with multi-effects & two-stylus operation. This is the huge high-end older brother to the tiny Stylophone organs of the 60's & 70's. Bizarre sci-fi synth tones & effects, with a photo-sensor vibrato way ahead of its time. In great working condition, well-maintained & ready to play. This awesome rarity is a great addition to anyone's collection.

This is Dubreq's professional version of their original Stylophone. The 350S is much larger, to be played on a table or rack rather than hand-held like the Stylophone. It has two styli, a 3.5 octave keybed, many effects & functions, plus a larger speaker. Only a few thousand of these were sold & they're quite collectible now.

Dubreq Ltd estimates all Stylophone 350S's in operable condition worldwide to be about 200-300. This is rare for any musical instrument. This unit is fully functional, and it sounds just weird, out of this world, a musical time warp.

FEATURES:
Controls: Volume, Photo-Control Vibrato/Waa Waa, 2 waveforms, Decay, Reiteration, 2 styli, 3.5 Octave Keybed, Speaker

Tones: Woodwind, Brass, Strings & combined&, Pitch Tune Control External Jacks: Input, Pedal, Output to Speaker

Battery power: uses 2 x PP9 Batteries (which are INCLUDED)

CONDITION: Barely used, clean, works 100%. Working great."
