"The MC202 was in production for only 17 months, and was released by Roland at the same time as their SH101 synth, back in 1983. The MC202 includes a two-track sequencer. One of these tracks can play the internal synth section, while the other track can run external synths via the MC202's CV and Gate sockets..."

4 THEREMIN COMPARISON

Published on Aug 11, 2013 copperleaves·60 videos

"This is an original composition I wrote to demonstrate and compare the sound of four different theremins.

The first one I play is the Moog Ethervox. Many people believe this is the finest and most versatile theremin ever made. It was designed and manufactured in the late 1990's and is fully MIDI capable (although I am playing it here strictly in the traditional way).

The second instrument is the 1929 RCA theremin that once belonged to the late Hollywood thereminist, Dr. Samuel Hoffman. This instrument can be heard on the soundtracks of over forty major motion picture soundtracks of the 1940's and 50's.

The third theremin is the last theremin designed and made by the late, wonderful, Robert Moog. It is called the Etherwave Pro. This instrument is in a burled maple cabinet I made for it myself, and is the only one of the four instruments in this video that I play while seated.

The last theremin, the one with the Art Deco lightning bolt antennas, belonged to Leon Theremin's business partner and personal assistant, Julius Goldberg. This is the only one of the four theremins that I am using an effect with. The sound you hear is the voice of the theremin going through an Electro-Harmonix TALKING MACHINE which gives it the haunting sound of a human baritone. I thought this might be an interesting contrast with the other three instruments.

All four of these theremins are amplified identically, and their sound is coming through the "Claratone" speaker you see behind me. This speaker was specially designed by Reid Welch for use with the theremin, and was named after the great 20th century thereminist, Clara Rockmore.

I would love to have played these instruments by walking from one to the other in a single shot but that is not possible. First of all, theremins are notorious for causing all sorts of interference problems with one another when there are several of them in close proximity and all of them are turned on. So for each of the theremins I play in this video, the other three had to be turned off.

The other big problem is that the spacing of the notes within the electromagnetic field is radically different for each of these four instruments, so it takes a few minutes to adapt your technique to the configuration of the theremin you're playing. All theremins are not the same. Most traditional instruments have a standard design and spacing - the standard piano keyboard is the same everywhere - but theremins are highly individual and each one is different."

"Arturia MiniBrute (not shown in the video) is running its arpeggiator and sending its notes as gate pulses to Korg Monotribe (Sync in). Monotribe plays the drum sequence and also the bass notes with some Sample & Hold modulation on the filter. The lead is a custom preset for the Novation MiniNova.

Line 6 Tonecore DSP Developer Kit (Build Your Wwn FX DIY Effect Pedal)

via this auction - learn how to sell on eBay here.

"ACHANCE TO DESIGN YOUR OWN TOTALLY UNIQUE AND AMAZING SOUNDS FOR GUITAR ORBASS USING THE SAME CHIP AS THE POD 2.0

This pedal can be programmed to be a whole host of possible pedals including new and unheard of creations by anyone who has some programming knowlege or the willingness to learn and experiment.
the kit can be used over and over again for new ideas and if you make something you really like, you can save the module and buynew ones from Line 6.

What’s in the box?
The ToneCoreProgrammable Module, the Developer ToneCore Dock, a USB cable key to get themodule on and off and official LINE 6 power supply
Note: you will also need ot get the developers kit from here - http://www.vettaville.nl/page.php?id=100

Here is the low-down

How does this work?
The kit contains a special Line 6 Developer ToneCore Dock, which in addition to containing the Freescale Symphony audio DSP, audio circuitry and ToneCore Module docking slot, can be connected directly to a PC via USB. The ToneCore Programmable Module is customizable and stores DSP code in the FLASH memory of the on-board Freescale microcontroller. DSP code development is performed on the PC and then a programming tool is used to FLASH the MCU with the new DSP code through the Developer ToneCore Dock.

Huh?
You plug our pedal into your computer via USB, use the software we give you to write some fancy code, then shoot it back to the pedal, which now stores it in memory. Now when you plug in your guitar to the pedal, it does to the sound of your guitar whatever you’ve told it to do!

Can anyone do it?
That depends. If you have any experience writing software you’ll probably be just fine. If you don’t, and are willing to learn, we’ve made it possible for you to get started by giving you the example of a simple two-band EQ, and a step by step by guide to assemble the code and download it to the module.

This Dock contains all of the functionality of Line 6’s existing ToneCore Stereo Dock, but adds a mini-USB connector that is used for programming and testing development using a PC. The TCDDK also includes a new ToneCore Programmable Module that can be programmed via a PC through the Programmer Dock to produce any effect that the developer creates for download. Since the Programmable Module is Flash memory based, it can be used over and over again while experimenting with different algorithms. Once the desired algorithm is complete, the ToneCore Programmer Dock can be used to program additional ToneCore Programmable Modules (available separately) that can be resold directly by the developer.

The ToneCore Developer platform makes use of two powerful Freescale Semiconductor devices. The Programmer Module contains a product from the Freescale JM family of USB microcontrollers, a versatile single chip solution that handles all of the DSP firmware storage and downloading, user interface (including A/D channels for the pots), Flash memory, and a USB port for downloading and debugging of software.

The ToneCore Programmer Dock (and every Dock and ToneCore pedal Line 6 has ever produced) contains a Freescale Symphony™ audio DSP56364 signal processor, a 100 MIPS, 24-bit device ideally suited for high performance, low power consumption products like ToneCore. This Symphony DSP provides more processing power than the solution in Line 6’s original POD, making it powerful enough for a wide range of audio applications.

Thanks to Freescale’s new Symphony Studio Development Tool, everything required to develop software with the TCDDK is available online. By using the extensible development platform Eclipse, Symphony Studio provides DSP users a fresh way to develop, debug and simulate through an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The software can be downloaded for free at www.freescale.com/symphonystudio.

In addition, the source code for a fully functional stereo 2-band state-variable filter is provided that demonstrates the complete functionality of the user interface and the audio processing. With this code, the developer can immediately start modifying the example to create their desired effect.
