"Excellent shape with lots of accessories.
100% functional. Includes 2 spare Shugart 5.25 floppy drives that are worth a pretty penny by themselves.
Apple G3 with 40 gig hard drive containing Sound Designer and a huge library of sounds. Library includes all the Northstar, Burmer, OMI and E-MU sounds. Over 1000 sounds easy.
Original owners manual, service manual and schematics with Zilog Z80 documentation. Lots of spare chips, de-bug chips and blank floppy disks(3.5 & 5.25)."
"From the Akai MPC to Pioneer Toraiz Squid, MIDI sequencers can help you build intricate rhythms and patterns. It can seem daunting for beginners, but luckily Justin DeLay is here to help you find the perfect fit.
"With no or extremely low rate values, the random LFO will generate a new random number for each key trigger.
We can use this to add some subtle variation from note to note or to make each new note sound completely different from the last.
We have also modulated the filters cutoff frequency with the velocity of each note to add some further variation and assigned the waveshape of wave-2 to the mod wheel."
"More Ping Pong Tape Echo sound examples. The second algorithm on the new Tape Echo card for Z-DSP voltage controlled effects processor from Tiptop Audio.
recorded directly from Z-DSP stereo out. Patched using an assortment of Tiptop Audio modules: Tiptop ONE, Z2040, Z4000, Forbidden Planet, Circadian Rhythms, BD808 and more."
"A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by all the existential science fiction I've been reading/watching/playing/writing. Now that I'm digging into the Analog Rytm MkII a little more, I'm really enjoying how its performance mode and fill button can vary a song while playing live. And once again, the Monomachine serves multiple roles, this time as a beautiful and weird vocal synth, external audio processor of the Rytm, and drum machine.
Elektron Analog Rytm MkII — Sample playback/mangling, drums
Teenage Engineering OP-1 (not shown) — Two samples played from the Rytm (busy synth sequence, high flute)
Elektron Analog Four MkII + Elektron Analog Heat MkII — Four synth parts (bass, arp, melody, harmony)
Elektron Monomachine MkII — Vocal synth, External audio processing of Rytm, Drums
The OP-1 samples were written a bunch of months back, but otherwise the song was composed and arranged in the last couple of days. Performed entirely live and uploaded as is, with only a little compression/limiting on the master.
"This is simple patch with final revision of Xaoc Devices Odessa. All three outputs of Odessa goes to three Xaoc Tallin VCAs in clean mode. VCAs are fed by simple AD envelope from Xaoc Zadar and mixed with Xaoc Praga. There is no additional filtering only some reverb. I've added drums in background just to make it more enjoyable to listen!"
"Pure VC340 Saw sound (mod bypasses Ensemble BBD's) through a Nyle Steiner String Filter and then through Valhalla Shimmer. Incredible power here with the 'full' polyphony (all 5 octaves of notes can sound at one time if enough fingers are available) of the VC340.
At one point, the Shimmer is dropped and the sound goes through Valhalla Delay (another amazing plugin). Then near the end we hear the VC340 through the Steiner String Filter with no reverb or delay.
It is way, extremely long. But fun. This is the whole session. So quite archival but jump around and try out some sections.
I adjust the Steiner filter occasionally and a few times put it into it's own LFO mode. It gets a great formant filter sound as it uses 24 band pass filters in parallel. Nyle made about 12 of these.
He developed this while doing the sound track for Apocalypse Now.
One of the synthesists in the synth orchestra used a Moog String Filter and Nyle thought about how he could do a string filter with a more simple circuit and for far less expense.
The one in this recording and image seen is the prototype."
Black Corporation shared a pic of their next module based on their Deckard's Dream, Yamaha CS80 inspired polysynth. While Deckard's Voice is based on the This one is based on the Ring mod section of the core sound engine (VCO, Noise, VCF, ENV, & LFO sections), RACHEL is based on the Ring Mod section. Anyone that has been fortunate enough to play with a Yamaha CS80, CS50, or CS60, knows the ring mod is where a bit of the magic that sets it apart from other synths, happens. CV patching for integration with other synths and modules should take functionality to a new level. What's interesting is if the Ring Mod section on Yamaha's synths is mono in the sense of all voices go through one shared ring mod, this would be an affordable way to add ring mod to any of your synths. This one might be super interesting as a separate effects pedal as well.
