Gershon Kingsley [Episode 210]

Published on Dec 26, 2019 CatSynth TV

"We discuss the life and work of Gershon Kingsley, who passed away on December 10, 2019.

Kingsley is perhaps best known for his 1968 synth-pop tune Popcorn, which has been covered many times. However, he had quite a varied career as an electronic musician, with a variety of styles as the founder of The First Moog Quartet, and also as the composer of many modernist works exploring Jewish identity and liturgy."

New Sidraw by Meng Qi

read the informative manual : https://bit.ly/35Y6MwS

"Sidraw is an experimental electronic instrument, based on Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrazzi circuit board, and my interface experiments.

There is a way to design electronic musical interface, which is not to consider sound parameters, but to think from the angle of circuit interference, I call it 'Circuit Expression'.

It can be seen on various experimental electronic musical instruments. From the Crackle Box by Michel Waisvisz back in 1970s, to the new Landscape Stereo Field and Martin Howse Dark Interpreter. UK synth designer Tom Bugs also had been utilizing them in the Weevil series of work. I've commissioned a special version of Chirper from Tom Bugs, which may have pushed the release of Board Chirper model a year later.

This method has a lot to do with circuit instability, touch and feedback. by touching selected circuit nodes, new connections are made, circuits behaviors are affected.

On sound output, it may result in a complex change on a combination of sound parameters (loudness, pitch, timber), and expressive reactions can be found.

I've found expressive behaviors from touching specific parts in Sidrazzi circuit, thus Sidraw is born.

(7 identical voices, only voice 1 marked)
1 - [Stereo Output] 1/4 TRS
2 - [DC Input] 12V Center Positive
3 - [Ground Banana Jack] 4mm
4 - [Utility Patch Bay] 4mm - 2mm Direct + 2mm - 2mm w/Capacitor - Try patching with or without capacitor in between for different behaviors.
5 - [Gesture Outputs] 1 for each L/R channel, output when sound is triggered 6 - [FM Input]
7 - [Square Wave Output]
8 - [Glitch Inputs]
9 - [Direct VCA Input] 4.5v = silence, with pad for easy touching
10 - [Master Pitch Knob]

Lyra-8 (& Matrixbrute etc): "Rivulets"

Published on Dec 26, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Hello all - Merry Christmas to everyone. I trust everyone is well/enjoying the festivities. To the track: two Lyra-8's, Matrixbrute, plus a few others. The second Lyra (the distant, high one: very obvious at the end) is a beautiful sound; very reminiscent of the glass armonica.

Something more musical on the Lyra-8 this time (the last track was quite dark!). Good to hear the Lyra in context with other instruments. It works very well/pairs nicely - especially with the Matrixbrute.

Enjoy/all best

"Korg Mini-Korg Vintage Analog FUN!"
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
***Watch in HD!!*** ***Turn it UP!!*** ***No Talking!!!***

The UNIVOX Korg Mini-Korg! So cool to play this!!!!
A few little physical issues & some noisy knobs/sliders
but it works & SOUNDS GREAT! Real VINTAGE ANALOG!
Kitaro, Vangelis, The Human League.. it's a favorite for sure!
I love it, similar to the Moog Satellite in sound, it's DREAMY!
I was only 4 when this was made..... still blows my mind it works
so well after all of these years! UNIQUE sound for sure!!!

Recorded into Ableton LIVE with no extra FX! ;)

Thank you for watching!

Super Expensive Manual for Super Expensive ARP 2500 Synth

This is the one in the video posted earlier today.

"Seeing that one of those soId on here for $65,000 just the other day, I reaIize that chances I will ever own one are sIim if not none.

Ergo no need to hang on to the manuaI in vain hopes any Ionger.

However, if someone can pay $65,000 for the synth, they can afford to pay EU500 for a manuaI in as near pristine condition as you can stiII find.

There were 100 of the ARP 2500 made so the number of manuaIs is aIso 100.

There are rare books that seIl for far more."

Never seen one of these before. Some notes on the Synth enginge below.

"The GE300 from MOOER is the flagship multi-effect instrument processor. By combining the well-received Micro Preamp series, TONE CAPTURE instrument matching technology, tri-voice polyphonic synthesizer module, and a wide-range of guitar effects and tools, the GE300 embellishes every single motive for creation from your mind with nuanced details.

The GE300 contains dual-DSP processors delivering the fastidious detailed characterizes of every delay, reverb, modulation or amp model inside. Thanks to the intuitive and simple UI, controls, and connection ports, the GE300 is an all-in-one working station for musicians whether in a live situation, at home, or in the studio.

Synth

With the synth module, your instrument will be transformed into an electronic synthesizer without the need for special pickups or instrument modifications, allowing you to spark your creativity with more possibilities.

As you can see from the diagram, the SYNTH ENGINE has 3 independent voices with their own parameters for waveform, pitch, attack, level, filter and arpeggiator. The signal path from the instrument input is split and routed directly to the front of each synth voice so they remain completely parallel and independent from one another. The thru dry signal can also be mixed parallel to the entire synth effect block, so you can opt for synth only or mix it with your guitar signal..."

Crumar Composer Analog Paraphonic Synthesizer SN 00222

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

via this auction

"Overall in very good condition, this Crumar Composer has been fully tested and is 100% functional. All pots, switches, and faders have been fully sprayed out with DeOxit electric cleaner. There are minor corrosion spots on the unit and signs of use. Please see photos.

The Crumar Composer is an analog paraphonic synthesizer. It has thick sound and combines 5 instruments which are a solo synth, a poly synth, an organ and strings. In the solo synth section there are 5 waveforms to choose from. It can be mixed with the poly synth to create a 3 oscillator instrument. The string section also has a Leslie speaker Bucket Brigade effect.
It also has a breath controller input where you just connect a tube and you can modulate the vca and vcf. it also has what is called touch vibrato in the mono synth section which is created by using you finger on the touch vibrato control.
The unit also offers pitch and modulation wheels for the other synth sections. Interestingly the Composer uses the same CEM chip to VCA, filters and envelope as the Memorymoog, Oberheim OBX, OBXa/OB8, SCI Prophet 5.Less than 400 units were produced by Crumar."
