"Arp Pro Soloist, analog monophonic synthesizer from the early 1970's, part of the signature sound of Tony Banks (Genesis). This vintage preset synth has an amazingly expressive aftertouch feature, and has been refurbished at Syntaur to 100% functionality. Very nice cosmetic condition, with slightly worn lettering on the slider panel."

Eurocraic - November 2015

Published on Nov 29, 2015 DivKidMusic

"On the 21st of November my friend Greg "Fleggy" (with some friends) put together the first Irish synth meet. Unfortunately I couldn't be there but I'm hoping to be at the next one. Search "EuroCraic" for more information.

Oh and that new Harvestman module you may have seen pictures of doing the rounds across the web surfaced from this event. As Scott himself came with his Harvestman system along with the new module.

Seaboard RISE and Haken Continuum-II

Published on Nov 29, 2015 Christophe Duquesne

"This is another small video combining the SEABOARD RISE, from ROLI, and the Haken Continuum, each running its own sound engine (EQUATOR on a Mac for RISE, and Eagan Matrix internal sound engine for the Continuum).

It's just one take, and directly recorded out of the mixer (no editing, so the mix is not perfect and there are a few pitch issues ....). The only addition is a reververb from Valhalla DSP run on a Tiptop Audio Z-DSP.

The VlnVlaCellBass sound of the Continuum (amazing preset from Ed Eagan) is physical modeling based.
The Legato Orchestra on the RISE (probably from Rafael Szaban), from the official ROLI preset bank (with a few local tweaking from me), is sample based.

I'm not trying to replace any instrument here: just playing something I had never been able to play on a keyboard !"

Details captured for the archives.

"OUR DECISION

Nowadays many studios use computers with special software for generate melodies, sequences and patterns. But only analog synthesizer will help to create really intricate repetitive, pulsating, and truly unique melodic patterns. And we offer a unique solutions - FACTOR and CY-CLONE, which are produced by famous techniques of the analogue synthesizers and sequencers (MOOG, ROLAND, KORG, ARP etc.) and used as a single system. They have got similar capabilities in creating of sounds and music sequences, and excellent analog sounding and has low cost. They are collected in standard RACK 19” case for installation in a studio rack."

Peter Blasser of Ciat-Lonbarde on the Tocante Karper

via PETER B : JUST B

"The new 'Tocante Karper' uses 24 pic chips in parallel to synthesize karplus-strong string emulations, in the Tocante scale. That scale is initially based on a very analog thing- the capacitor values in an E6 preferred number set. For example: 10, 15, 22, 33, 47 and 68 are my starting numerology. Because they are integers, and also because the frequency varies as the reciprocal of the capacitance (bigger capacitor, lower frequency), it ported over seamlessly to sixteen bit string buffers of different lengths..."

Prototype for Buchla Modular by Scrotum Lab [SL-04]

Published on Nov 29, 2015 batchas

"I finished a proto today with Orgone Accumulator + Radio Music modules in one Buchla module.
Still some details to change (like LEDs order or some CV ins not working exactly like they should), but here are the first seconds recorded after switching it on.
What we hear are the direct outs from the module. There's only external reverb and delay added."

Note: just realized I was missing a scrotum channel. :) Label added below.

ROLAND TR 606 with Mods

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

For sale on eBay Germany

English below:

" Die Roland TR 606 wurde folgendermassen gemodded:
- Einzelausgänge
- Mute Switches (kick, snare, lo tom, hi tom, cymbal, hihat )
- Tom Trigger Mute, so dass man von einem Tom nur noch den "hauchigen" Geräuschanteil hört
- und wie man sieht, viele Regler für Klangveränderungen:
links je eine Reihe senkrecht für Kick, Snare, Toms, die gesamte rechte Seite ist für Hihats und Cymbal zuständig

Ich wollte noch einen Griff dranmachen, damit es wie ein alter Ghettoblaster aussieht,
aber auch so sieht diese 606 ziemlich cool aus;)

Ich habe inkl der TR 606 damals ca 1100 EUR ausgegeben (es stecken viele Stunden ARBEIT drin!)
Kommt mit Netzteil.

Hier ein längeres Klangbeispiel

Fragen können gern unter goldtone (a t) web.de gestellt werden !"

English:

"this one of a kind Roland TR 606 was made for me by a tech in Berlin.

it not only features single outs and mute switches (kick, snare, lo tom, hi tom, cymbal, hihat )

but also specials like
Tom second trigger mute (so you hear only the noise of the second tom)
and of course many knobs to manipulate the sounds, the right side is
dedicated to cymbal/hihats with lots of interacting knobs.
As you hear in the audio file, you can even do kind of minimal clicky beats with it.

Plan was to put it into some kind of "old ghettblaster" -style holder,
hence the shape. But the happy buyer might want to do something like that.

Here is a longer soundfile

I paid about 1100 EUR incl the TR 606 at that time - it was many hours of work for the man to do all the mods.
Power supply is included

VOLTLIFE: Animodule M1xXOR as a sequencer

Published on Nov 28, 2015 voltlife

"Using Animodule's new M1xXOR module (an interesting hybrid of a gateable mixer and a sequential/VC switch) to create sequences. Simply multing a fixed voltage offset into each channel quickly gives you a basic 4-stage sequencer, but using the gate ins and stage control gives you the opportunity to create complex, evolving melodies."
