"This one is in excellent cosmetic condition and is working 100%. As you may know, this was Roland's first programmable rhythm machine. There are a few companies making programmers for the CR-78 if you need one."

ThreeTom Modular New batches & Summer Deals!

via ThreeTom Modular

"In the coming two weeks I expect to start on a new batch of assembled Steve’s MS-22 modules. I’ll also be receiving a new batch of PCB/panel sets. These will be the last batches until autumn/winter as I’ll be taking a break from production to work on two new modules.

To give these new batches a little boost, I’m offering two deals until the 14th of June 2020:

Pre-order a Steve’s MS-22 module and get a free “Technomancer” illuminated blind plate

Pre-order a Steve’s MS-22 PCB/panel set and get a free Wiretap panel

Please note that these free items will not automatically show up in your cart. I’ll add these to your order manually after you’ve made your payment.

I expect to ship the assembled modules somewhere in the last two weeks of July (and with a bit of luck maybe sooner). The PCB/panel sets should ship as of the 8th of June.

Don’t wait too long before ordering, the last batch of Corona kits sold out in a matter of hours!"

Bontempi Minstrel Alfa keyboard demo

Published on May 29, 2020 Alfonse

"Bontempi Minstrel Alfa HB402 keyboard (1983)
All sounds you hear in the track were made using the Minstrel Alfa. All parts were recorded to a DAW, where compression, EQ, delay and reverb were added as required. I sampled the piano voice and played it as a virtual instrument in order to access lower notes than are possible on the Minstrel keyboard itself - otherwise these tunes end up being a bit heavy on the upper-mids. Individual drum hits were sampled and processed to allow fresh beats to be built, rather than using the rhythms found on the Minstrel.

The aim of these videos is to see what you can create using sounds from retro classic keyboards together with current production tools. The Minstrel is a super-simple keyboard from the early 80s with analogue drums and (I think...) analogue voices as well.

C64 Is Your Friend

Published on May 30, 2020 synthjunk

"This is the title track from my latest EP. I created a fun video to go with it. All the sounds were made using a commodore 64 computer.

The Background clips are from the excellent youtube channel called "Chroma Key Backgrounds" (free use). The EP is available on Bandcamp, Spotify and other streaming sites.

Hope this brings some enjoyment."

Buchla Cosmic Drone - Session 20 - Modular Drone Music Performance

Published on May 30, 2020 The Galaxy Electric

"Thanks for listening! Come on a musical voyage with us where we'll send you a new song every day, a cosmic story, and a chance to earn space treasure: https://thegalaxyelectric.lpages.co/5...

Relax and tune into our live weekly improvised Drone Sessions. This twentieth session involves a drone featuring two independent Buchla style complex and modulation oscillators drifting in and out of tune. There are also other sound elements such as filtered pink noise and bell-like tones. As the oscillator frequencies drift apart by way of manual control, beating ensues. Listening to droning oscillators can serve as mindfulness sounds as there is no sudden changes in sound. Just smooth drifts in pitch and the resulting beat frequencies. Drones can also serve as an ambient track to have on while doing tasks that require intense focus. Drones are also great for a Sci-fi film soundtrack. The slow yet progressive nature of a drone performance can help one focus on tasks without distraction. The fact that we are manipulating these oscillators live and in collaboration helps the drone meander ever so smoothly in an evolving fashion as we are always reacting to one another's subtle movements. These movements are improvised so there is an unrehearsed and reactive ebb and flow to the tones generated. Engage in the practice deep listening with us.

The electronic music instruments used in this performance of modular drone music are the Buchla Music Easel and a cosmic vocal drone setup using two Boss RE-20 Roland Space Echo pedals.

My DNA controls a modular synthesizer - rs6025

Published on May 30, 2020 Giorgio Sancristoforo

"In this video the F5 gene of my chromosome 1 (Exons and introns) is used to program a modular synthesizer (Endorphin.es Shuttle System).

Blocks of 16 codons are used to control 16 parameters of the synthesizer like frequency, amplitude, filters cutoff, envelopes, FM modulations etc.

The experiment is a continuation of my sci-art research on my whole genome, which started at the EU's Joint Research Centre in 2019.

This particular gene was chosen due to SNP rs6025 in position: chr1:169,519,049.
