CBM 8032 AV - Telex - Budapest 26.2.2022
CBM 8032 AV - Telex - Budapest 26.2.2022 from Robert Henke on Vimeo.
"The CBM 8032 AV performance is running on five iconic Commodore CBM 8032 computers from 1980, connected together to form an audiovisual instrument, played by the artist on stage.These computers from the beginning of the personal computer age can only produce simple green low resolution graphics and they need custom hardware to create sound. Low level programming in assembler is necessary to achieve the real time audio and video signals, but these limitations also inspire a very specific and unique aesthetic, which defines the identity of this project.
Three computers create sound, the signals are calculated directly by the CPU (6502, 8bit, 1Mhz) and sent to a 8bit DA converter. Sound is further processed using a Publison DHM 89 pitch shifter from 1978 and a AMS RMX 16 reverb unit. Video is created by a forth computer, also calculated directly by the CPU, written to 2kByte screen memory. A fifth computer controls the other machines via a custom sequencer. The entire project runs on our own software.
This recording is an excerpt from a concert in Budapest, February 26th 2022.
All hardware extensions, computer networking technology and software development by Studio Robert Henke 2016 - 2022

Jessica Kert - live @SUPERBOOTH21
"Live Modular artist Jessica Kert discovered the Buchla200e system for herself during the lockdown. At her day job at SchneidersLaden, the noble device was always available after work and so a deeper understanding of the instrument developed over many hours of experimentation.
After some time, the point was reached to bring what she had learned to the stage - we are very happy that it was the Seaside-Stage at SUPERBOOTH21."

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings, also on Reverb
"This unit was meticulously serviced over many hours and is now in perfect working order, unlike most. It is justifiably priced higher than lesser examples on the market.
We purchased a third party's custom power supply for this unit since it came to us without a power supply. Our tech had to spend a while modifying it as he had some safety concerns with it the way it was assembled. After putting that extra time into it (and costing us a bit more), it's now got his stamp of approval. This Liberation's a pleasure to play and sounds exactly as it should, no excuses."

"Up for grabs the legendary Elka Synthex! Are words even necessary? Jean Michel Jarre’s laser harp synth.
36 knobs, 84 buttons, 6 levers and 1 joystick of pure analog goodness! One of THE greatest polys ever!
This synth is in excellent condition (according Reverb terminology), the panel is flawless and has no dents or scratches - you can tell this has been a well-looked after instrument that lived its life in a smoke-free home studio. The sides have very minor signs of use typical for the age but nothing crazy as you can see from the pictures. It has MIDI, which can also be seen from the pics.
This baby weighs an impressive 30kg so that means shipping will be a bit more expensive"
