"Vintage Keys is a musical instrument whose sounds are based on digital recordings of the classic keyboards of yesteryear. But despite the name, Vintage Keys is not strictly limited to vintage sounds. The vintage keyboard samples are simply the starting point for you to take off in any direction.

To begin with, Vintage Keys contains eight megabytes (internally expandable to 16 megabytes) of the highest quality 16 bit samples selected from the Emulator III sound library and stored in ROMs for instant access. You now have virtually every major keyboard ever made beneath your fingers. These sounds have been used on literally thousands of hit recordings over the years. They're all here, without recording problems, unreliability and the hassles of moving heavy equipment.

Vintage Keys gives you the ability to literally take the sounds apart and reassemble them into a limitless number of entirely new sounds, combining parts of one sound with another or with any of a selection of digital waveforms also stored in ROM. For example, the attack of a flute can be faded out as a vocal pad is faded in, giving you a completely new sound! The dynamic 2 and 4 pole filters allow you to shape and mold your sound in order to exactly duplicate classic synthesizer sounds. The 16 bit samples are arranged into 512 preset locations, 256 of which are user-programmable.

Vintage Keys also features 32 voice polyphony allowing you to take full advantage of its layering capabilities (up to 8 sounds on each key) and its ability to respond multi-timbrally to all 16 MIDI channels makes it ideally suited for multitrack sequencing and composing using a MIDI sequencer.

Other features include 3 stereo outputs for individually processing sounds (also configurable as 6 polyphonic submixes with fully programmable panning), integral sends and returns to allow the addition of external effects units without the need for a separate mixer, user definable alternate tuning, and of course, an extensive MIDI implementation..."

"You are bidding on a BLUE Roland SH-101 and a Kenton Pro Solo Mk1. For those who don’t know, the SH-101 is a monophonic synthesizer from the early 1980s, manufactured by Roland. It features one oscillator with 3 simultaneous waveforms, an 'octave-divided' square sub-oscillator, triangle and square/pwm waveform. It has a low-pass filter/VCF capable of self-oscillation. The controls are simple to use as there is a slider or switch available for every single parameter. The Kenton Pro Solo Mk1 is a CV to MIDI converter which is essential for using the SH-101 with a DAW as it converts control voltages into MIDI messages..."

Those are small 'rubber grommets' ( hole diameter = 5mm ).
Please ask google where can you buy them :D"

You can find them on eBay here including colored ones. Make sure to look for the right size.

New Eurorack Mystery Module

Published on Aug 26, 2013 JohnLRice·214 videos

"I was getting to know a new module that a manufacturer sent to me to test (announcement has not been made, so it's secret for now) and I decided to turn on the audio recorder while I played around. People who like drone, noise and maybe sequencer synth stuff and guessing games might be interested in this. People hoping to hear some pleasant music may be disappointed or possibly enraged. ;-)

I'll update the description to include module and manufacturer details hopefully soon.

Thanks for watching!"

"A video of the installation I made at my installation for the art festival Utrecht Down Under. Really nice to see all the reactions people have. Some people sat there and watched for over 20 minutes, absorbed by the sounds and moving thingies, hardcore! Cheers me up to see all the curious faces :)

VL-1 Micro Jam - Week 10 catchup - Royalty Free Electonica

Published on Aug 26, 2013 ChrisLody·67 videos

"This track was created using a Step Sister, a Casio VL-1 (not easy to play with massive meat shovel hands), Ibanez DM500 delay and an Inkel MX880E Mixer. Using the DM500 and the inkel mixer i was able to create a wide delay effect by running the DM500's normal and inverted outputs into the mixer separately and hard panning and EQing them. Another quicky this one as i've been too busy to do my weekly upload so i'm trying to catchup!

Right, so here's the idea. Trying to write, upload and give away a fresh piece of music on a roughly weekly basis. Will i be able to keep it up? Will i run out of ideas? Can i be bothered? How shoddy will they be? Does anybody care? God knows. But that's the point.

Basically the idea is to flex my musical muscles a bit. I have collected quite a bit of gear over the years and not much of it is getting used as much as i'd like, so this is my attempt to justify all those purchases whilst practising improving and getting ideas down fast as an antidote to procrastination. "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." as Picasso once said.

Royalty free for you to use for whatever under the creative commons license. Just rip the audio out of the video for now, i'll get these tracks uploaded to a dropbox account when i get my act together. Let me know if you use it, i'd be stoked."
