"This is the original Korg Donca Matic Rockmate Drum Synthesizer Machine produced in 1966 in Tokyo, Japan. It was one of the first all-electronic solid state drum rhythm machines made. The company was originally called "KEIO Gijutsu Kenkyujo Limited" before it became the Korg company.

The case is made out of metal and measures 7.5" x 7.5" and 1-1/4" deep. It is powered by a 9-volt battery (included), but also has an AC adapter jack on it. The 1/4" output jack is dirty, it makes crackle sounds every once in awhile. otherwise everything seems functional."

Everything was programmed in Korg Gadget, except the lead. Gadget still doesn't receive pitch bend or mod cc, so I used Sunrizer for the lead. Enjoy!"

Roland Enters the Modular Market with Plug-Out Filter D-Beam & Scatter Eurorack Module

"Introducing the Roland Plug-Out Digital Filter for Euro Rack Synthesizers! Now you can have that virtual sound you've been missing! Roland has emulated every analog component in vintage analog circuits and packed into a euro format module. We didn't stop there, boys and girls, we added the famous scatter effect, so everyone can enjoy scatting!

• Roland’s ACB technology models each component and every aspect of vintage filters

• Faithful recreation of all filters Roland has crafted through the years, the original TB-303, SH-101, System 700 and Jupiter 80 filters.

• Authentic filter behavior with smooth response and classic sound

We’ve meticulously analyzed the circuitry of the original TB-303 piece by piece, right down to the individual circuit behavior. Using Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology, we’ve fully reproduced the TB-303’s -18dB per octave ladder low-pass filter used in the original, capturing that unmistakable cutoff and resonance character.

In addition to the faithful reproduction of classic TB tones, the Plug-Out Digital Filter is packed with new sounds that live and breathe. Bubbling synth filtering, hard distortion filtering, trippy delay sounds, and drippy effects—they’re all here, and then some. We've recreated every filter Roland has in it's rich history, even the Moog one!

The Scatter function features slicing, reverse, gating, and other effects, allowing you to instantly create variations, stutters, and glitches that would normally require painstaking editing in a DAW. You can keep things fresh and interesting with 8 different Scatter variations and 10 levels of Scatter depth.

God I hate April fools jokes, I'm so addicted to the internet for real news, and on April 1st I just can't beat them, so I'll join in on the fun.

Moog Recreates Keith Emerson's Monster Moog

"The Synthesizer Genome Project: Moog Reverse Engineers the World's Most Famous Keyboard

Moog Creates a 1:1 Recreation of Keith Emerson's Moog Modular, Using Original Processes and Components

ASHEVILLE, NC – April 1, 2014 – Today, Moog Music announced that over the last three years, its dedicated engineering team has painstakingly reverse engineered and built a 1:1 recreation of the world's most famous keyboard: Keith Emerson's Moog Modular, using original processes and components. When it was created in 1970, the original Emerson Modular included the following:

81 total modules / custom panels

12 unique, custom built modules including: sample and hold, preset programmer, custom LFO's and DRONE VCO Control

Two custom modded modules: 903 Noise Source and 905 Reverb

First synthesizer with performance presets

Shoots rockets

The Emerson System, by Moog Custom Engineering, is to be released later this month and is based on the original Emerson Modular. The Emerson System will include the following:

Every standard module printed from original circuit board films

Original/vintage and NOS (new old stock) components sourced from around the world

All face places are reproduced using original transparencies and techniques

Each module is hand build and soldered with original schematics and service manuals as guides

No longer shoots rockets

More information on the Emerson System, including pricing and availability, will be announced shortly."

Patch with MakeNoise Mysteron and Erbe-Verb (Audio Demo) Composition Study

Patch with MakeNoise Mysteron and Erbe-Verb (Audio Demo) Composition Study from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

“Audio recording of my first patch with the new MakeNoise 'Mysteron' Voltage Controlled Digital Waveguide and Erbe-Verb Voltage Controlled DSP Reverb. For this video I wanted to do something slightly different to present what could be done using just these two modules as the only sound sources. The focus was to use only a few modules as control sources. Starting with the MakeNoise Wogglebug stepped CV out into the Size input on the Erb-Verb. Another stackable cable from the Wogglebug stepped output running into the 1V/oct input on the Mysteron. 4 Clock signals running into one sync input on one intellijel Dixie, another to the strike input on the Mysteron, third output into the Optomix. The Mysteron 'Mix' control via the MathsV2 - Channel 4 output running a very slow rise modulating pulse. Output 1 / channel 1 from the Maths running into the speed input control on Erb-Verb. Positive output from the MakeNoise function running into the 'Pre' input control on Erb-Verb. Negative output from the Function module running into the 'Depth' control on the Erb-Verb. ZigZag output from the intellijel Dixie going into the 'Tilt' and 'Decay' control inputs on Erbe-Veb, modulating at very slow rates. 'EOC' output from Function running into the 'Absorb' input on the Erbe-Verb. Top strike input control to the Mysteron from the random clock burst out on the WoggleBug. Depth control on Mysteron via a yellow stackable cable (sine) output from the intellijel Dixie, and to the 'Generation' input on Mysteron. Lots of real-time tweaking and finally recorded Allen & Heath mixer.”
