"Judging by the high serial number (and overall good condition) this one was a later one, and was serviced by Korg in 1987 (Japanese year of 61) when they must have taken out the original Ni-cad battery and replaced it with a much safer lithium one. The baterry is still in good shape and I saved and recalled patches with no problems."

Transcendent Synth from Martin Hannett 's ( Joy Division producer ) collection with Synthometer?


via this auction

I never heard of a Synthometer before now. If you know more about it, feel free to comment.

via the listing:

"ignore all those cheaper Transcendents ( that probably aren't fully working like this one and don't have famous user owner history like this one ) and buy one from Martin Hannett's personal collection of Transcendent's this one includes Hannetts unique Synthometer a unit that apparently connected this Transcendent to an AMS delay- the fully working Transcendent synth includes the correct vintage case for this synth of Hannett's and the case fits the Hannett Synthometer at the side of the Transcendent - Hannett Transcendent synth no 9 and case No 9- Transcendent is fantastic condition and the analogue sounds are out of this world. Hannett put Transcendent synths into loads of records he produced including Joy Division- there are Transcendent sounds on Unknown Pleasures and other Joy Division recordings from that era . Hannett produced and sometimes played synth effects on Joy Division early New Order, Durutti Column, John Cooper Clarke, Nico, Buzzcocks, Magazine, Pauline Murray, U2, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, he was really responsible for bringing synths and echoes into punk and post punk

Ready to plug in and create those Joy Division/ Manchester /Hannett sounds- this synth was designed by Tim Orr who also worked for EMS.

This has not just been stuck in an attic for years and full of dodgy controls or part working- this is fully serviced and refurbished and ready to go

will come with letter of provenance and Hannett's notes"

Greg Hawks's (Cars) Custom Purple Glossy Sequential Circuits Pro One Synthesizer?

That's one glossy panel. At first I thought the panel is black, not purple, then I realized the purple is in reference to the surrounding case. It's interesting though, the Pro-One upper case is all one piece of molded plastic with a semi-thick plastic panel graphic overlay adhered to it - at least mine is. Based on the pics it appears everything but that panel was painted purple.

via the listing: “This is Greg Hawks's (Cars) purple J wire Pro One. Unit is %100 functional and in very good looking condition considering its age. 1981. Unit comes with a custom hard case.”

The question mark in the title of this post means I have no way of confirming whether this was indeed previously owned by Greg Hawks of the Cars.

Snare via this auction

Electronic Tom 3 via this auction

Note the Hi Tom circuit board is the earlier Mk1 version, model 1553B and 1554B. The Snare and Electronic Tom 3 are Mk2 versions, model 1675C. It's kind of interesting to see the circuit board design changes.

I love the box design as well.  It reminds me of old matchbox cars for some reason...  Off to look...  Ah, it was the Hot Wheels Trans Am I was thinking of!  The stuff you are sometimes exposed to coming to this site...  Sorry.  :)

Battery Powered | PB & Jam


Published on Jan 12, 2016 Human Interface

"The power of batteries compels you!

This is a show about making live electronic music using battery powered synthesizers, drum machines, and other gear. The spirit here is to take live electronic music out of its usual contexts like stages and studios and bring it to some more unexpected locations and hopefully generate some unexpected performances."

Spotted this one on discchord.

Note the playlist above has 15 videos. The following is the description from the first video (Winter - Nerve Gangstas) at the time of this post, to give you some background. Note the playlists will likely be updated if you find this post in the future. Further below you'll find the PB & Jam sets.

"Hello, my name is Artur Danielian, I live in Kyiv, Ukraine. I always liked Italodisco. That is actually my favourite dance style. But it is rather hard to play it on 16-step machines so I basically focus on house and techno music. This is my first humble try to use techno means of music production for making some dreamy italian style track.

About my kit: I always take it with me when I'm out of my town. 4 extremely compact Volcas fit in the soft mike case: Volca Sample, Volca Bass and 2 Volca keys. I mix them with Belkin Rockstar headphone splitter-combiner. Lot of people use it now for compact setups. I bought mine 6 years ago having no idea it would be so helpful for me)))). I also use iPad with Korg nanopad 2 connected through Camera Connection Kit. Nanopad2 has cool built-in Kaossilator style key/scale feature and sends "right" MIDI notes to any synth. I use lots of them: TF7 Synth, iProphet, both free and paid apps such as iMPC app which I control using nanopad's finger drum pads. They are velocity-sensitive and have less latency than iPad's touch-screen. My setup is much wider when I play live - there are two musicians, me and my mate Maxim Sabodash, there are 2 DJ-mixers, keyboards, kaosses and so on. But recording of both live on-stage sets and my trip sets is made on TASCAM DR-01 recorder in 24/96 format, no laptops (we're dreaming of vinyl releases because we are true analogue, lol). The band started as a volunteer musicians duo which just came to different food festivals and exhibitions seeing a DJ-place and asking: "Can we just play some dance music for you? If you don't like it, just stop us." No one did stop us, though. And then they started to invite us to play our music at their events. So we played about 50 sets during this summer on different cultural and commercial events. One of the main goals of our project is to make electronic music playing popular among the youngsters in Ukraine using different cheap instruments like volcas, monotrons, PO's etc. - it is good alternative to alcohol and drugs)) Our band sticks to the principle "only live recordings" so because of this there are only two places where you can hear and see us: either live performance, or our recorded bites on my Youtube channel"

PB & Jam

Published on Jan 6, 2016 Human Interface

"PB & Jam is a weekly show on Human Interface TV that features live electronic music jam sessions. There is no particular limitations of genre so expect an eclectic selection of non-commercial live electronica from techno to ambient to trance etc... (Could write a whole hundred pages just listing all the electronic music genres!)"

And the description for the first video (Rude Machines - Zapper Live) at the time of this post:

"This session is comprised of three patterns from the Korg EMX -- it is used for some of the bass sounds and acid lines. It also sequences the Virus TI which is playing bass, leads, screams and atmospherics. The Elekron Octatrack is doing all of the drums and builds. I have the Octratrack crossfader set to reverse the drums, allowing for quick pops and reverses. I am also using the SP808 in combination with the KP3 to add some glitched-out samples on top of everything.

This is a fun set of evolving patterns that I have been working on for quite a while. It started with me wanting to write psytrance at a slower tempo, and turned into something different over time. Often, I will write patterns like this that get progressively rewritten, added to, and then redone. Hope you enjoy!"
