PPG Wave 2, vintage analog/digital synthesizer

via this auction

via the seller: "This is the original Wave, and the precursor to the much more common 2.2 and 2.3 and later Microwave series. Reputedly, there were only 160 Wave 2s made, and I suspect most of those are still in Europe, which is why you almost never see these for sale in the US.

The functions are largely the same between the different machines, but ask any PPG aficionado and they will tell you that the Wave 2 sounds the best! Unlike the later Waves, the 2 uses CEM filters, and also has a different card layout and waveform storage. This gives the Wave 2 a grittier and less refined sound than the later 2.2/3 which used smoother SSM filters. Most users also agree that the raw waveforms sound better on the 2. But don't take my word for it--this is a rare opportunity to buy one of the best digital-analog hybrid synths out there, in full working order! As mentioned above, the aftertouch and velocity do not work, but this is common to almost all Waves (it is not great even when it does work!). All other functions 100%, and this has also had preventative work done to avoid and battery leakage or power supply issues. This is machine is literally ready to go and transport you back to 1981."

Самодельный Синтезатор «Дендример» / DENDRIMER DIY synthesizer


Published on Mar 7, 2016 PaulBuchik

"Давно хотел сделать себе синтезатор. Решил начать с несложной модели. Искал советские и российские схемы, но ничего толкового не нашлось. Однако я не сдался и в итоге нашёл зарубежную схему на двух микросхемах: CD40106 в сердце устройства и LM741, работающей в блоке фильтра НЧ. Могу изготовить такой синтезатор и для вас. Пишите: goodrope@ya.ru"

Googlish:

"It has long wanted to make a synthesizer, I decided to start with a simple model sought for Soviet and Russian schemes, but nothing intelligent was not found, however, I did not give up and finally found a foreign scheme on two chips:... CD40106 in the heart of the device and the LM741, working in the filter unit . Can make a bass synthesizer and you write to:. goodrope@ya.ru "

ARP ODYSSEY SYNTH SESSIONS 1976 = Bill T Miller


Published on Sep 23, 2014 Bill T Miller

"Musician Producer Engineer, BILL T MILLER's earliest surviving recordings as an ARTIST. http://billtmiller.com/arp/ Recorded in 1976 at BTM's Bungalow Bill Recording Studio in North Hollywood, California on a white-face ARP ODYSSEY into a REVOX A-77 Tape Recorder bouncing the tracks sound on sound overdub style.

* stream or download free audio: http://billtmiller.bandcamp.com
* also available on limited edition CASSETTE !

Originally released on CASSETTE on BTM's label Moon Records in late 1976, shortly after graduating from College for the Recording Arts in San Francisco and moving to LA. Re-released 38 years later on Autumnal Equinox 1014. This recording is actually four different songs, all on ARP ODYSSEY. These electronic music excursions from 1976 give you a glimpse of future BTM experimental rock bands like: OBE & ORGY OF NOISE & ZONKULATOR. Starting his own garage band (later dubbed The Racquet Band) with tennis rackets for guitars in late 1965, jamming along with records and then getting a real guitar in late '67 and cranking up THE ELECTRIC ONION before focusing on recording engineering and production in mid-70s this five minute tape of ARP SYNTH experiments is ONLY AUDIO existing of early BTM !!!!!!!!!"

Octatrack: use it as remix machine


Published on Mar 8, 2016 Seen From Space

"Sorry about video quality! Wobble and flicker are artefacts in rendering. I hope it doesn't give you a headache. I don't think the software likes the camera files:(

Slightly unusual method of working with the Octatrack. Use it to provide a rich backing for other instruments. The method uses Scenes; see my earlier tutorial:
