RYO - 3x VCA

Published on May 21, 2015 DivKidMusic

"A simple and space-efficient voltage controlled amplifier for processing of control voltages as well as audio with high precision and a good clean sound.

This module gives you no less than three fully independant linear VCAs with very similar response between each VCA in the same module or between modules.

The 3xVCA is great for adding extra life and dynamics to CV modulations as well as for regular audio duties such as a good sounding Amplitude Modulation all the way thru the audio spectrum.

Circuit of My Mind: Art and Bob Moog Converge via The Bob Moog Foundation

Incredible abstract profile of Bob Moog in via Michelle Moog-Koussa of The Bob Moog Foundation, who has the following to say about it:

"Today, in just a little bit, we'll be releasing a very special image of Bob that was created by renowned graphics artists Jean-François Podevin in 1977 for Synapse magazine. We've been haunted by this powerful image for a few years, and we're delighted to finally share it, with Jean-François's blessing and support, in the form of an art poster and t-shirt.

I know that I'm closer to the subject than most, but the more I look at this image, the more powerful it becomes. For Bob, the importance of his work was not about external praise and adulation, but rather about the ideas flowing through his head that he was able to share with others, with hopes of empowering them creatively. This image is a strong representation of that lifelong focus."

There exists ambivalent attitude towards amber from the point of view of electronics – on one side, it’s an ideal dielectric, from another side, it gave the name to all 'electricity'. The main idea of the project is to use amber at the same time as decoration and as non-standard conductor of data, which so to say implements the poetic 'amberization' of information and as a result, of the visitors’ portraits.

The visitor makes a self-portrait which is transformed into the data flow represented by flashes which are transmitted through large pieces of amber. Every portrait is transformed into a low-resolution picture, where every pixel has 256 gradations of brightness. The information about pixels’ brightness is further transferred as flashes of light through the pieces of amber and is perceived by a photoresistor. A special screen is showing the image appearing pixel by pixel; this image is later printed on a photo printer. The speakers which supplement the installation emit sounds which correspond to the brightness of each pixel.

Made for an exhibition 'Russian Amber', Museum of Moscow, 2015.

Nova Musik - Nord Electro 5 with Chris Martirano

Published on May 21, 2015 Nova Musik

"Check out great deals on the Nord Electro 5 series at Nova Musik: http://www.novamusik.com/instruments/...

Since its introduction in 2001 the Nord Electro has been the natural choice for musicians in need of authentic emulations of classical electro mechanical and acoustic instruments in a portable and easy to use package.

With greatly expanded memory, the added ability to split and layer and a live focused program section, the Nord Electro 5 is a highly refined, focused yet flexible stage keyboard."

Sequential Circuits Pro-8 with Built-In Whiteboard

via this auction

"The Pro-8 (or Split-8, they are the same instrument) can be thought of as a wonderful companion (or even competitor) to the Juno-106. It may not have the essential fatness of the 106 and its chorus may not be exactly lavish, but it has a few functions the 106 lacks that make it a very serious sound shaping tool:

- VCOs (not DCOs like the 106) which make the unison sound like it should - huge and meaty.

- Programmable split point allowing you to play two patches independently.

- Dual mode, stacking two sounds to form a 4 voice, 2 osclllator synth.

- Poly Mod (not to be confused with the on in Prophets, though) that allows to modulate one patch with another and create FM-ish or spooky, overdriven sounds.

Matrix programming is immediate and very, very fast. The Pro-8 is a joy to use.

The instrument has been serviced, keyboard, pots and switches regenerated and new patch battery fitted. It's in absolutely fantastic condition, it looks almost new."
