Modular Live Patches by BendingBus

Modular Live Patch #001 (Bass Drone) from BendingBus on Vimeo.

"First in a series of filmed live modular performances. Recorded live to 6-track, no overdubs, mixed analog."

Modular Live Patch #002 (Harmonic Drone in A#) from BendingBus on Vimeo.

"A harmonious soundscape centered around an analog echo with many repeats, while sub bass and ocean-like white noise swell with each new cycle of echoes. Also worked in a gritty MacBeth pulse wave for contrast, automated with moving stereo filters. And a dirty sine wave sampled into an old MPC3000. Recorded live to 8-track, enjoy."

Duet No.7 for Synthesizer and The Singing Ringing Tree

Published on Jul 26, 2014 John Keston

"This is the sixth selection from takes during a five day recording session and performance series at the Singing Ringing Tree (SRT) in Burnley, UK, a wind activated musical panopticon in Northern England. The sculpture was designed by architects Tonkin Liu and completed in December 2006. I performed accompaniment for the SRT binaural recordings simultaneously using a Novation Bass Station II connected to a USB battery. I also ran the Bass Station II through a Moog Minifooger Delay.

NOTE: This is a binaural recording combined with a monophonic synthesizer track. Although it sounds great through speakers, circumaural headphones must be used to experience the binaural effect."

Yamaha DX 1 Polyphonic FM Synthesizer SN 1116

"1980's Yamaha DIGITAL DX 1 Frequency Modulation polyphonic multitimbral synthesizer with dual 6 operator digital FM engine and 16 voice polyphony-- ( up to 32 voices using both A and B channels with loaded patches from RAM memory cartridges) . The DX 1 synthesizer was Yamaha's top of the line flagship model of its DX line digital frequency modulation synthesizers from the 1980's. The DX 1 had 73 weighted and balanced wood keys and was MIDI equipped with MIDI IN, THRU, OUT. These DX 1's are very well known to be rare FM synths and Yamaha only manufactured the DX 1 FM synth for a short time I believe 1984-86, estimates of final production numbers from varied web sources, range from about 140 to maybe 300 ever manufactured, with the 140 DX 1's being the more widely accepted number of actual manufactured and sold DX 1's. The DX 1s were all hand built from Yamaha's top technicians with actual real wooden weighted keys with sensitivity to velocity and polyphonic aftertouch, and it had the best user friendly operating system and layout of display screens for programming and editing of any of the Yamaha DX line of FM synths. The synth has been tested and inspected by a local synth tech who formerly had much experience as a service tech with the Yamaha line of DX FM digital synths, and found to be in 100% proper working order. However due to the nature of vintage electronic musical instruments and the age of this particular DX 1 synth, estimated to be at least 25+ years old, this vintage synth is to be considered sold as is and returns are not accepted. That said this DX 1 synth is a very clean and pristine synth both inside and out, and this synth was obviously a very well taken care of musical instrument by the past original owner, a church keyboardist from a church in the Minneapolis, MN area."

'One board to rule them all… This filter board is probably the most advanced 4-pole core for the Shruthi-system! It uses the same “Pole-mixing” technique introduced in the Oberheim Xpander to provide a cornucopia of filter responses. It also provides 4 different settings controlling the 'flavour' of the resonance, clean and liquid, MS-20 style, wobbly/chaotic, and a combination of the MS20 and wobbly modes.'"
