"KORG ARP ODYSSEY '2017: a BASS Odyssey'
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston 100% No Talking!
**Watch in HD** ** Turn it UP!!!**

I love my Odyssey....
No REALLY, I LOVE MY ODYSSEY!!!!!!
In this demo I tweak some BASS, Leads & FX.
And with FX I mean some really weird stuff...
Tuning the Odyssey is a serious WARP to the
ear & mind... It can be BEAUTIFUL or UGLY...
Your choice! But you will find yourself in between
REAL QUICK! What an awesome synthesizer!!!
As you can hear, the BASS in this video is a
mix between Dance, Old School, Industrial, Dub...
It is a MONSTER PEOPLE!! Turn it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Stargate' footage from '2001: a Space Odyssey'
dropped into a vat of virtual LSD.. for your sensory pleasure!
I love tweaking video!!

Recorded into an ART MULTIVERB LT (Reverb & Delay)
then thru Ableton Live with no other effects."

Modular Jam : Flight of the Long Lost : Tides, Rings, Peaks, Ripples, Clouds, 4ms SMR

"Flight of the Long Lost: Patch Notes
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

A modular performance featuring my giant right arm, and mostly Mutable Instruments modules.

Routing/Control
-----------------------
As you can see from the video, I did a lot of manual wiggling for this jam. But there’s a background of random modulation going on via massively multed and modulated slewed random.

Smooth voice: Tides in oscillator mode, Bi output. Shape, Slope, and Smoothness modulated by semi-random LFO from Peaks #1 channel 1, which is in turn modulated (via Veils) by multed 1U Random slewed output, attenuated via Quadratt. Envelope by Peaks #1 channel 1, with manual changes here and there. Lots of manual wiggling of the wave shape controls. V/oct driven by O+C in Quantermain mode. Output into 1hp Delay, then Verb, and on to mixers.

Various melodic bits: Rings in sympathetic strings mode, polyphony mode 1. Rings Brightness, Damping, Position modulated by multed slewed random from above (lots of Stackcable hopscotch going on!). Lots of wiggling of parameters including Structure. Output into Clouds in looping delay mode. Clouds triggered by /8 of RCD (“Spread” is on, so I guess it’s really /16?). Occasional wiggling of the regeneration/feedback control.

Rhythm: Tiptop ONE timed by RCD.

Background Drone: 4ms SMR in self-generating resonator mode, with Rotation and Spread modulated by multed Random output of 1U Intellijel Clock/Random, attenuated via Quadratt. Output mixed with rhythm track via Quadratt, on to 1U Digitank reverb, and final mix.

Sequencing/Timing
-----------------------
Everything timed by RCD getting its clock from the 1U Clock/Random module.

Audio/Video Notes
=========
Camera: Sony A6000 mounting a Leica 28mm Summicron-R

Audio recorded on a Zoom H2 using the mic input (the line input is busted). Managed to avoid distortion except at about 09:36. Bummer, but I think I actually distorted the Delay or Verb module, rather than the H2 being overloaded.

Edited in Apple iMovie."

ALTAIR 231-Soviet MiniMoog Model D SN 3346

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

via this auction

"Altair 231 is an almost identical copy of the famous Moog Minimoog, made in the former Soviet Union. Biggest difference in sound is caused by different brand of components: Russian equivalents are used everywhere. The oscillator board is based on the older version. However, the Russians were clever and used multi-turn potentiometers for the scaling controls. Result: Synth stays in tune better. The Russians didn't seem to have reverse log pots. Because of that, the resonance control was wired backwards and a regular logarithmic pot was used instead. Other than that, the synth seems to be very robust and easy to service - the real Mini schematics come for good help when comparing the component numbers etc. It sounds like a Mini!"

"It was manufacture on 'Estradin' military radio plant in Zhitomir city in November 1986. The serial number of the unit -3345."

FORMANTA UDS Rare Soviet Vintage Analog Drum-Module Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Soviet analogue drum synth Formanta UDS with beatbox drummachine and a built-in beatbox with 16 patterns. You can switch every drum sound channel to its preset sound or switch it in "synthesis" mode and then control channel's parameters by 8 knobs. The synth was made on the same factory as legendary Polivoks was. The beatbox and the synthesizer are independent modules so they can work at the same time freely. Each of five drum channels have polivoks filter. High-hat and cymbal have there own channels. 7 audio in connectors on the rear panel for each drum channel - mono audio out, left /right out. Pedal inputs. All connectors are on standard 1/4 '' jack. There is also a stereo output. You can use trigger module inputs to send signal from an external device through synchro impuls. All drums and high-hat work well. Cymbal works quieter than other. Inside on the resistors of each drum line there are full ADSR polivoks filter. If you wish, you can make a modd and take it out with knobs. All knobs are clean, without noise. Also look foto with English translation of face panel."
