When Robots Started Dreaming by Atomic Shadow

When Robots Started Dreaming by atomicshadow

"This is the third piece from a live performance at KnobCon, September of 2014. It is an abridged version of When Robots Started dreaming from the album City Of Chrome And Glass on Auricular Records. The live performance rig includes EMW-200 synthesizer, test oscillators, effects units and SP404 (subbing for tape machines). The main background element of the composition began as a live recording of open faced control relays in an elevator control room. This recording was manipulated, and abused with various effects."

Brix System by Love Hultén - Giant Wooden Lego Synth & More

Published on Apr 28, 2015 Love Hultén

"Brix System; a collection of functional, hand crafted life-sized LEGO bricks, custom made from wood."

"This conceptual collection consists of eight scale 6:1 versions of classic Lego bricks, each fully functional in one way or the other.

'Like most people, I was raised by Lego. For this project, I chose to work with a set of decorated bricks from the iconic 79-87 'Legoland Space' line, mainly because of nostalgic reasons. These were bricks that would trigger my imagination as a kid. 25 years later, and they still trigger'

Size for a 4x4 brick is 20x20cm, that is scale 6:1

New Alpha Editor - Roland Alpha Jono Series Editor for iPad

iTunes: Alpha Editor - Lachlan Mooney

Update: video posted here.

"Alpha Editor is an editor and patch library app for the Roland Alpha Juno synthesiser family. It provides direct access to all of the Alpha Juno’s patch parameters through a clear and reactive touch based interface.

Alpha Editor is a MIDI based app; it uses MIDI to communicate with your Alpha Juno. In order to do so, it requires a coreMIDI compatible adaptor or a connection to a Mac or PC that provides MIDI capabilities.

Alpha Editor is compatible with the Roland Alpha Juno 1 & 2, MKS-50 and HS-80. It is intended to only be used in conjunction with one of these synthesisers: it does not double as a generic MIDI controller and it does not produce any sound by itself.

Features:

Create, edit, manage and save Alpha Juno patches on your iPad
Organise your patches into banks
Load patches from the Alpha Editor to your Alpha Juno
Load the current patch from your Alpha Juno to the Alpha Editor
Create random patches
Ships with 5 banks (320 patches) of presets"

"A Yamaha CS80 Analog Synthesizer in working condition. I had it diagnosed in July by the renowned Analogue Lab in Long Island City, New York. There's 1 dead voice (of 8) on bank one and 3 dead voices (of 8) on bank 2. The pitch bend ribbon needs to be repaired and all controls need to be cleaned. It could also use a full calibration/tuning to factory spec. Please see the photos. If you need it shipped, I can work with your shipping or freight company or deliver it myself to NY, NJ, or CT. Weighs about 240 pounds and has 4 wheels on the bottom. The electronics are under the control panel. When you lift up the panel, the long support screws to hold it up are missing. Thank you, Matt"

Some super nice pics of the Blofeld desktop. The auctions lists it as an analog synth but we all know our synths here. For those that don't the Blofeld is a digital wavetable & virtual analog synth.

"Engine 40106" – Live modular techno (CB's DIY Modular Synthesizer)

Published on Sep 3, 2015 Chris Beckstrom

"High quality audio available here:
https://chrisbeckstrom.bandcamp.com/t...

I recently built a drum module and repaired a noise module, which inspired me to make some analog techno. I started this project on a whim and never thought I'd get this far! It's time to make some music with the collection of modules I've built.

Performed live (no edits) on my homemade modular synthesizer.

Recorded through an old analog mixer (with a splash of spring reverb) into Ableton Live.

More about this project here:
https://hackaday.io/project/5826-diy-...

and here:

The bass drum circuit and CMOS noise generator circuit (the two main sounds in this track) are more or less straight out of Elliot Williams' Logic Noise series on Hackaday.com. Check it out here:
