Sequential Prophet T8 - just kobbing (mono audio...mind you speakers and you ears!!!)

Published on Aug 26, 2016 Default Corporation

"Just playng on Prophet T8 (1983) knobs.
Polysynth (8 analog voices) with key hammer action, aftertouch (polyphonic), velocity sensitive keyboard.
This synth was restored in august 2016 by mr. Felice Manzo of L.E.M.I. (Turin Italy).
Due high frequencies of the audio, please, be carefull of your speakers and ears.
Thanks for whatcing."

AtomoSynth Mochika X3 Analog Synthesizer Sequencer

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

via this auction

"The new MochikaX3 features 3 independent sections: an analog synthesizer, a multimode step sequencer and a MIDI to control-voltage interface, now you can play it from a midi keyboard, a cv-gate controller or from the built in step sequencer. Also a patch bay with various inputs an outputs for each section for great flexibility, and for easy integration with other midi or CV-gate gear or Modular gear.
Specifications.

One analog pulse and saw waveform VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) with independent level knob for each wave.

Pulse width modulation knob

Ten turn precision tune knob to adjust octave and fine tune.

Glide effect knob.

White noise generator

One square and triangle waveform LFO (low frequency oscillator), it can modulate the VCO frequency or PWM and also the Filter at the same time.

Vactrol based Low Pass and High Pass Filter with cut off and peak controls.

Feedback switcher, it feeds the output to the audio input creating an extra puch specially on bass souds.

Filter envelope generator EG1 with decay and level control and normal/inverted envelope switcher

Loudness envelope generator EG2 with release control

Built in MIDI interface, now you can play the mochika from a midi keyboard or any midi controller, sequencer or computer.

Midi thru connector to add the Mochika X3 to your midi chain.

Built in 8 step sequencer with global tempo, gate time control, note on/off switch and pitch knob for each step.

The built in sequencer features many modes: forwad, alternate, random, repetition, random repetition, gate arpeggio patters.

The sequencer can be synchronized by an external analog pulse or by midi.

Step knob, determines the first step, great for performance.

Freeze effect button F1, also great for performance.

Oscillator mode, the Mochika becomes a drone oscillator, you can switch in real time between the 8 notes tweaking the step knob.

Sequence length from 2 to 8 steps for forward sequence modes and from 3 to 8 steps length for alternate sequence modes,

Random mode and random repetition, it generates a large pseudo random sequence.

Repetition mode in which you can define from 1 to 8 repetitions for each step.

Gate type mode in which you switch between normal gate (time defined by the gate knob) and hold, for each step.

Gate Arpeggiator with 8 patterns, you can switch in real time between the 8 notes tweaking the step knob and sync it by midi or external analog clock.

Patch bay with inputs and outputs from the synthesizer, sequencer and midi interface sections.

Rugged steel case with all the potentiometers and switchers fixed to the case.

Aluminum knobs.

Powered by an external power supply (12V AC, 2A)"

MFB Kraftzwerg & MFB Tanzbar & Doepfer Dark Energy II

Published on Aug 26, 2016 3rdStoreyChemist

"Jamming with the Tanzbar drum machine, Dark Energy and Kraftzwerg synthesisers synced together:
Tanzbar CV1 & Gate1 to Dark Energy CV and Gate inputs
Tanzbar CV2 & Gate2 to Kraftzwerg CV and Gate inputs

A small amount of reverb has been used, no further processing except for normalisation."

1979 Keyboard Magazine Interview with Dave Smith

On how it all began:

"It wasn't until 1972, when he saw and immediately bought a Minimoog, that Smith began to consolidate these two areas [music & engineering]. He began making tapes with his new synthesizer and a four-track tape deck, but before long he had grown dissatisfied with that setup. 'Granted, there are a million things you can do with the Minimoog that most people don't even get near touching, but still everything is pretty much pre-patched, and I wanted to start doing more,' he explains. Starting from scratch, Dave soon built his own analog sequencer, which also functioned as a waveform generator when interfaced with a keyboard.

'When I finished it,' he relates, 'I realized that maybe someone else would want one, and that I might try to sell one. I guess that's how Sequential Circuits officially got started.' In 1974 the company name was trademarked, and Dave, working literally out of a closet in his one-bedroom apartment, began marketing and improving his Model 600 sequencer in his spare time. By late 1975, with his lab spilling over into the extra bedroom of another apartment, he was building the digital Model 800 sequencers. After a while he was renting workspace in Sunnyvale, in the area known as Silicon Valley, the heart of California's computer country, plugging in a telephone answering machine to take orders, and hiring assemblers. But it wasn't until April 1977, just after designing his synthesizer programmer, that Smith quit his regular job and began devoting his full energies to Sequential Circuits."
