Ondomo / New Ondes Martenot Pics

You might recall the Ondomo Ondes Martenot by Asaden previously posted here.

Josh Semans wrote in to let me know he put some pics of his up on his Instagram page. He had the following to say:

"I saw your post about the Ondomo and thought I would drop you an email.

I own one of only two Ondomo in England, the other is owned by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. I met the craftsman in Paris in July and have met with him again in Manchester since. We keep in touch and he is very interested in what I am doing with it. He is such a nice man.

The Ondomo truly is beautiful, and I thought you may like to post some more photographs of it."

I definitely would! Beautiful instrument. Also, I new that Jonny Greenwood used an Analogue Systems French Connection (as seen here). It would make sense that he also has the Ondomo.

Thank you Josh!

Ambient Electro Jam By The River Feat. Novation Circuit + iPad

Published on Sep 23, 2016 Perplex On

"This is a really calm and minimalistic improv by the river to welcome the beginning of fall. First time with a Novation Circuit in the mix.

More details:

- iPad (Air 1) loaded with AUM, IK Multimedia iGrand, SoundScaper, Amazing Noises' Dedalus and Reverb, Kymatica AUFX:Space/Dub/Push/PeakQ, Borderlands Granular, HoldernessMedia Crystalline

- Novation Circuit is equipped with custom drum samples and synth patches and at the same time acts as a midi controller for iGrand on the iPad

- iGrand is fed into Borderlands for some realtime granular treatment

- Circuit’s audio and midi outputs are plugged into a battery powered Roland UA-22, which is connected to the iPad via CCK

- Recording is done inside of AUM on the iPad, slightly postprocessed with Positive Grid’s Final Touch

- SoundScaper on the iPad is loaded with field recordings of this very place, making some noisy background ambience

- Filming is done with an iPhone5S (slowmos) and an Olympus OMD-Em10 with a Panasonic 25mm 1.7 + ND Filter

- Edited with iMovie for iPad"

Introducing the SYNTH-WERK SW 6401M Bode Ring Modulator 5U Module

via SYNTH-WERK

"It was probably electronic music pioneer Karlheinz Stockhausen’s use of the ring modulator that inspired an entire generation of rock musicians. Stockhausen’s Mixture (1964) for example, was written for a ring modulated symphony orchestra.

Ring modulation is often used to simulate the sounds of tuned percussion instruments that produce inharmonic frequency spectra, such as bells and chimes. It can also produce timbres that are difficult to achieve by any other method of synthesis.

Among all signal processors the multiplier-type ring modulator takes a unique position, since it is capable of converting existing sounds into new sounds with entirely different overtone spectra.

The SW 6401M is based on the original design of Harald Bode from 1967. The design is a circuit involving a ring of diodes and transformers forming a four quadrant multiplier. To accomplish a one unit module, the transformers UTC-A20 have been replaced by smaller vintage UTC SO 15P transformers"
