meeting leon at the big city booth namm 2015

Published on May 2, 2015 Sealion

"Met Leon by his Dewatron at the Big City Music booth at Namm. Welcome to the worst camera work on youtube but the conversation about invention of unusual instruments was fun and over to the right people are madly playing away on his Dewtron. Not the modern reissue of the 1930s French all metal speaker which was connected to the Dewatron. A clip for geeks like us I suppose."

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The RC 78 was the first drum machine to allow users to program and store their own beats. Revolutionary in it's day, the RC 78 gives you a classic sound like no other. I used it with the tempo slowed right down for great trip-hop beats. This RC 78 with Roland WS-1 Pedal for programming are in great condition. Only missing slider ends on 'volume' and 'tambourine' sliders. The drum machine works perfectly. I haven't had time to figure out the WS-1, but I'm sure you will be able to."

E-mu Emax 1 SE with HXC SD Drive

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Emax is the 'next-generation' Emulator II. It uses 12bit sample handling and an SSM 2047 based, resonant analog filter. Sounds very similar (if not the same) to a SP-1200, and of course Emulators (even includes the original factory SP-1200 drum kit samples). Has the SE synthesis engine.
Only two owners (including myself), shipped from the US. Great working condition. The action of one key is slightly off, backlight needs replacing and a small patch of laminate has worn off on the upper right hand side of the unit (all pictured below). These problems can be fixed fairly easily.
Includes SD card loaded with many of the original floppy libraries (choirs, orchestra, rock sounds, african and indian percussion, Oberheim OBx, orchestra hits, various synths, sound effects, strings etc.). The HXC upgrade allows you to load patch banks and libraries from your computer, via SD. It's possible to load converted Emulator libraries (using the free EMXP software) or ones downloaded from the net. Also comes with SD card reader.
Can install original floppy disk in place of HXC if required (comes with original floppy disk either way). It is possible to run both drives in parallel with dual ribbon cables.
Operates on 240v or 120v. The version of motherboard is compatible with the SCSI upgrade, with no soldering, trace cutting etc."

Korg Volca Keys, DSI Tetra,Roland SH1

Published on May 1, 2015 DreamsOfWires

"Multi-track improvisation: Simple pattern on the Volca Keys, tweaked continuously, some SH1 and Tetra sounds/washes/drones, also tweaked, and pad sounds from the Tetra for the chord parts.
The recording was inspired by the video footage that accompanies it - I was watching the pilots practising aborted landings and filmed some of it. It's ironic that something as beautiful as these F15's, can only exist because of the 'need' to kill people. There was something both impressive and chilling about the spectacle."

Moog Sub 37 1.10 Firmware Demo

"Yesterday I got a note from Moog that the long anticipated 1.10 firmware for the Moog Sub 37 was now available. Today I scheduled time in my studio to install it and test out some of the new features. This update is significant because the bulk of the updates are new features! In this video I demonstrated step edit mode and quick mapping of modulation destinations.

First Impressions of ENKL Monophonic Synthesizer (Klevgrand)

Published on May 1, 2015 Synth Anatomy

"Some of the sounds are sequenced with the Arturia Beatstep Pro

This fully featured monophonic synthesizer can create a huge variety of sounds. Fat basses, stabby leads, glitchy noises, old style chip tune sounds (including arpeggios), weird percussion, you name it. Enkl does the job!

Enkl comes with 93 high quality factory presets, all crafted by professional music producers. Of course it is possible to create new ones and save."

Follow up to 3 Impressions | M. Geddes Gengras - feat. Discontinued Moogerfoogers

"Via Skype, Gengras explores the motivations behind 3 Impressions, the 3 song EP he composed as a practical application of Moog electronics. In this video the artist describes his exploration of analog effects modules and process-based sound design.

M. Geddes Gengras' work is described as being 'based in modular synthesis, comfortably straddling a variety of forms and remaining rooted in a deep affinity for the limitations of analog electronics and a keen ear for timbral manipulation.' His extended exploration of the modular inter-connectivity of Moogerfooger analog effects on 3 impressions is a testament to Bob Moog's vision of creative expression through control voltage."

Published on Apr 2, 2015 HappyProducer

via this auction

"The essential battery mod (and minor repair) was done on this synth around 4 years back, other than that, no mods, no customising etc.
It now use a normal coin cell battery that is handily mounted into a holder for ease of changing.
The battery currently fitted has full voltage and should last (store patches) for many years!
Very stable tuning on this VCO synth (takes the normal approx 10 seconds for the auto tune routine after switch on then it's ready to go, never needs retuning after that - never failed me on tuning!).
The synth has been used frequently over the past 4 to 5 years in my studio (no gigging) without fault, so has been well tested since the battery mod!

Supplied With:
Built in, original Power Cable (no mods)
Original User Manual (Rare)
Functional Condition:
All keys and contacts have been cleaned and are working great (see video)
All knobs are smooth and work as intended, they are all tight and feel good to use - they are mounted to the panel with a locking nut - NOT just the PCB as on modern synths so are super reliable and solid!
All buttons work first time with a light touch, I fitted some new tact switches not that long ago so these should be reliable for many years!
Outputs and tape in/out (back up of patches) work fine - NO crackles or dead outputs
Volume knob is smooth and noise free (no crackles)
All pots respond properly and edit parameters correctly (no skipping or dead spots)
Pitch and Mod wheels working 100% (note the Pitch wheel on the Polysix is similar to the old Moog/Prophet 5 style, not spring loaded so it has a central return indent rather than auto return - this is not a fault)"

"Finally getting the pieces together for what is, IMHO, a really FRIKKIN COOL modular synth drum machine. The top row is comprised of 3 Elements modules from Mutable Instruments. The bottom row has 2 Planars from Intellijel, a Circadian Rhythms and 3 other drum modules from Tip Top Audio, a Modcan Quad Envelope and space to fit the Make Noise Function when it arrives. Everything is enclosed in the Monorocket/Make Noise Shared System case with CV bus. This is an a super quick and dirty phone video but I'll do up a proper demo of the system shortly. It's already blowing my mind."

I was luck enough to get the Keys and Beats at xmas but i was then ill for so long that i never really got a chance to play with them. Now my birthday is almost here my missus has been nice enough to find me a Bass to play with so i have the original trio of Volca to sync together.
