Dennis Colin Memorial Service to Be Held at the MIT Chapel on Friday, December 18th 1PM

An FYI for those in the area who would like to attend. It is open to the public. If you do not know who Dennis Colin is, see this post. A friend of his daughter set up a GoFundMe Page here to help her out. The funding goal was met, but I'm sure extra donations considering her situation would be appreciated. As always small donations can add up, so if you can help, please do.

Mellotron M4000D Rack

Published on Dec 3, 2015 John L Rice

"A quick random noodling through the default sounds of awesome Mellotron M4000D Rack from http://www.mellotron.com/ There are also two keyboard versions of this instrument and I purchased mine from http://www.bigcitymusic.com/

This is a digital sample playback unit designed to recreate the sound of the Chamberlin and Mellotron magnetic tape sample playing instruments that were originally invented by Harry Chamberlin in the USA during the late 1940's / early 1950's and later modified by the Bradly Brothers in the UK, (now Streetly Electronics) whose Mellotron version became greatly popularized by and an important part of many of the biggest rock bands of the 1970's like The Rolling Stones, Yes, David Bowie and Genesis to name a few.

Martin Hannett's Arp Omni 2 Synth No 4

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

via this auction

A previous one was posted here.

"Forget all those other Omni 2s- that are cheaper- here is one of the ultimate ones - a great buy that is both working and is climbing in value owing to the Omni 2 collection it came from- here we have one of Martin Hannett's 1970s Arp Omni 2's from his actual cache /collection of synths, Hannett's Omni 2s along with his Transcendent's were the main models of synths he took from his collection to take in the studio with bands like Joy Division,( Omni 2s were used on Unknown Pleasures) Magazine, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Nico, John Coooper Clarke, Pauline Murray and loads of other bands he produced and often overlayed synth tracks on.

This is one of the rarer of his Omni 2 collection as Hannett fitted it with wooden end cheeks. It has been fully serviced and is fully working and comes with a brand new heavy duty flight case- it is a 240 volt model

you will never really find synths with more history than Hannett's collection

will ship anywhere in the world"
