0-C0AST AMBIENT: PATH.TRACE (feat iolabs Flux)
video by C Nich0lls
"A path of unpredictable resonance.
This time the 0-Coast is joined by it's larger sibling the System Cartesian. Also lending some modulation is the 0-CTRL. 0-CTRL adds modulation to each phrase modifying a variety of waveform parameters on the 0-Coast.
The 0-Coast is patched largely using it's default signal flow. The sound relies on lots of modulation to the waveform blend along with overtone and Multiply. The final sound is routed through Strymon;s NightSky reverb pedal.
The Cartesian adds 2 further sounds; a low 'kick' from the STO and noise/hat from the Teleharmonic.
Sequencing is all from my new IOLABS FLUX sequencer. The Flus allows for a lot of detailed and organic rhythmic control. Literally my first patch with it and definitely scratching the surface, but so far far more flexible than even the descriptions give it credit for. Very deep, but reasonable UI and the detail of the programming is quite astonishing."

Here's something you do not see everyday. It was sent my way via Pea Hicks of optigan.com. If you are not familiar with the Voder, it was a 1939 speech synthesizer from Bell Lab's. Yes, that is correct, the year 1939. You can find some previous posts including demos here. This brochure is as rare as it gets. It's hard to believe it exists in this condition. The auction description follows: "A Vintage / Original 1940 New York WORLD'S FAIR Bell System Exhibit BROCHURE / BOOKLET of The VODER - The Worlds First Voice Electronic Synthesizer. The Bell Telephone Laboratory's Voder (from Voice Operating Demonstrator) was the first attempt to electronically synthesize human speech by breaking it down into its acoustic components. It was invented by Homer Dudley in 1937–1938 and developed on his earlier work on the vocoder. The quality of the speech was limited; however, it demonstrated the synthesis of the human voice, which became one component of the vocoder used in voice communications for security and to save bandwidth.
As found recently, it measures aprx 6" x 9".
Visually it appears to be in nice original condition showing light overall wear w/ some light creasing & a soft vertical fold/crease down the center (see pics)."

Vintage 1982 "WASP Special" Synth from Wasp Synthesisers Ltd. ( EDP )

Pics remind me of this post, but are different.
"This is the incredibly rare "WASP Special" version of the famous WASP synthesiser. I believe only a few dozen WASP Specials were ever made. I bought this one direct from Electronic Dream Plant's founder, Adrian Wagner, in July 1982. Unlike the earlier WASPs which were made from cheap plastic and had bright yellow keys, the WASP Special has gold colour keys, a metal control panel and a beautiful mahogany enclosure. It also features an internal 240v mains power supply. In all other respects, it's identical to an ordinary WASP synth. Sadly, this one has stopped working and produces no output apart from a bit of mains hum. Thus, it is being sold as spares or repairs. There have been no botched, attempted repairs or components removed. Cosmetically it's in good condition with only some very minor scuffs/scratches on the wood. It probably deserves to be in a museum as it really is THAT rare (see "Legacy" section of Wikipedia entry about the Electronic Dream Plant)

"The QuASH provides four computer addressable S/H circuits in a single module. It features adjustable glide rate for each channel (selected by computer control), individual trigger “gates” and an individual modulation input for each channel. On-board address decoding allows up to four QuASH modules to be bussed together in a single system for 16 voice “polytonic” synthesis! This module is intended for the true PAiA fanatic that wants a complete and original computer controlled system from the glory days of the analog world: the 1970’s"
