G-Sonique Alien303 Updated to 64bit


via G-Sonique

"Another boring imitation of the classic 303 sound? No way!
The Alien 303 is the ultimate synthesizer primarily aimed to generate the psytrance basslines easily which were always so hard to create and fine-tune using the traditional synthesizers. Alien 303 can
be used also as classic acid synth in many genres like: techno, acid house, rave, trance and others...

Even though the Alien 303 is based on vintage 303 concept it offers many more features. Its sound spectrum and possibilities are totally different from the other solutions. The Alien 303 delivers sharper, more digital and tougher sounds.

Try the new features like special digital oscillators with precise sound, simulator of unison / chorus or extra effective non-linear saturator. Don't waste your time with fine-tuning of psytrance bass with the classic synthesizers and try the alien 303 now !

The Alien 303 can be also used for creating tough acid sounds and melodies.

Features:
- 10 digital and virtual analog oscillators ( An.Saw, D.Saw, Saw HB, Saw DB, VNT Saw, An.Ramp, D.Ramp, D.Square, Square, Pulse )
- Vintage virtual analog filter with resonance, sharp and organic sound.
- Unison/chorus effect
- Non-linear saturation unit
- PingPong stereo delay
- Amp/filter envelope
- Portamento

ARP Odyssey | On The Wire - RIP Buena Pearlman


Alex Ball

Buena Pearlman is Alan R. Pearlman's wife. She passed away Friday, July 3, 2020.

"This is an original composition and performance I made with the ARP Odyssey from the mid-70s.

A few days ago as I was finishing this video I heard that Buena Pearlman had sadly passed at the age of 93. I had the pleasure of briefly speaking to her on a Skype call last year whilst we were recording with an ARP 2002 and she said 'I remember those' with a wry smile when we proudly showed the instrument.

As a small gesture, I've put this song up on Bandcamp and any sales I generate from it will go to the Alan R Pearlman Foundation.

Thank you"


Update: via Levine Chapels

"Buena (Alcalay) Pearlman, age 93, of Newton, passed away on Friday, July 3, 2020. Beloved wife of the late Alan R. Pearlman. Buena was born in Belgrade, then the capital of Yugoslavia, on August 1, 1926. The lives of Buena, her brother, Albert, and their parents, Lepa and Samuel Alcalay, were interrupted by the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. She and her family fled Nazi-occupied Belgrade, where Jews faced near-certain death, and were eventually interned in the Ferramonti camp by Italy's Fascist government before it fell, allowing them an opportunity to escape Europe for good. Years later, she recounted her Holocaust survival story to the Shoah Foundation.

Buena was a bookkeeper for several Massachusetts-based companies including ARP Instruments and The Society of Arts and Crafts. She was a crafts-person in her own right, creating beautiful enamels on copper.

A friend to many, Buena’s humor and kindness will be missed by all who knew her.

Buena is survived by her only daughter, Dina Ruth Pearlman of Kingston, New York and many nephews and cousins."

Alan R. Pearlman passed away on January 5, 2019

You can find demos of one here.

"Fully functional Ensoniq ZR-76 synthesizer with printed manual and disks.

The ZR-76 is Heavy and built like a tank. It contains stellar grand piano Perfect Piano card and superb panning Rhodes patches, as well as some excellent synthesizer pads and leads.

The ZR-76 was one of the last products Ensoniq designed before being acquired by Creative Technology. Its sound set is very similar to the MR-76, but with the Perfect Piano expansion board preinstalled. With three slots total, it can be expanded with two more of the Ensoniq EXP-series expansion boards. It can also load WAV and AIFF samples from floppy disk if the 4MB MR-FLASH expansion board is installed.

One of the more popular features of the ZR-76 was the "Idea Pad", which is a feature that has the keyboard always recording MIDI of what's being played so that when you play something you want to keep, you can send it to the sequencer for later editing and refinement.

This board is made for producing a whole, movie score, Practically - That's how good the sounds are sampled - some sounds are a little dated similar to Korg and Roland of that era, but when it comes to WoodWinds, Strings, and drum sounds and Natural rain forest loops they are just super clean and Fantastic!

A few cosmetic dings, but nothing broken missing or damaged.

Excellent Weighted Key action.

"The Virus KB is a classic, very well made analog modeling synth. Full sized keyboard with 61 velocity and aftertouch sensitive keys. There are also individual and assignable Pitch and Mod wheels. The software digitally emulates physical circuits and the results are quite good sounding. There are two oscillators and two filters for lots of tone shaping along with two envelopes and LFOs. There is full MIDI implementation and some great sounding effects on the output. The synth is in good working condition and includes AC power cable."

"Much warmer sound than the later Rev B because of the analog filter and the closest you can get to a PPG Wave. This Waldorf has OS 1.10."
