"Third-generation Ensoniq Mirage DSK-1, full of 8-bit crunchy character. This is the keyboard that brought sampling to the masses in 1985, and unique to the third-generation Mirage is the pseudo-stereo outputs. Fully functional, and in nice cosmetic condition except for light scuffing to enclosure and scratches on upper black keys. Power cord and OS disk with drum kit samples included."

Published on Mar 19, 2020 Polypumpkins

"Fun jam with Hydrasynth Keyboard and Desktop both run in real-time, clocked by Ableton Live.

- Keyboard with one latched note on LFO-modulated ARP throughout. (not in shot)
- Desktop melody and rhythm kind of "generated", not in Random mode, but again with modulated ARP.

All Hydrasynth onboard FX, touched with Ableton Live. Drums from Live.

Performed by Dominic Au."

Studio Electronics Midimini V30 Oscillator Demo

Published on Mar 19, 2020 VCO USA

"This demo is an attempt to capture the raw power and fatness of the Studio Electronics Midimini V30- High quality monitors or headphones are recommended. We do recommend hearing it 'in person' if at all possible. However if you can not, and are curious to know what the raw oscillators sound like- This video is for you

Starting with a single oscillator, various filter and resonance settings, and envelope settings. As the video progresses the sounds get a little more complex and wild. Enjoy!"

Quarantine - Justin Hurwitz - cover by Randy George - theremin

Published on Mar 19, 2020 Randy George

"Quarantine. Challenging times. I feel that performers have a responsibility to perform even if live in public is not an option. Music can help us navigate the haze of isolation and uncertainty.

http://randygeorgemusic.com

Here is one of the rare works from a major motion picture score in the last few years that prominently features the theremin. Quarantine, composed by Justin Hurwitz, is a track from the film score to First Man, directed by Damien Chazelle, starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy.

In case you have been waiting for years to hear what progress I’ve made with the theremin… the wait is over. In upcoming videos I’ll have a lot more technology to share, but I’ll keep it simple for now with this theremin and modeled harp duet.

If you would like to learn more about how the music is the product of years of evolution, please subscribe. I will make an overview video or post it in an article soon.

List of hardware used in the performance and software used during production:

Moog Etherwave Pro (theremin)
Haken ContinuuMini (MPE synth)
Radial Pro D2 (passive DI box)
Presonus Studio 68c (audio interface)
Ableton Live 10 Suite (digital audio workstation)
Z Prism MIDI Merlin (real-time audio to MPE MIDI)
Modartt Pianoteq 6 Stage (modeled harp)
Polyverse Comet (very nice reverb)"
