MAKING A MODULAR SYNTH FOR TOOL • DANNY CAREY

video upload by Peter Grenader

"I am Peter Grenader - the designer, curator and sometimes sound designer for Danny Carey's Toolbox, the modular system used live with Tool (Chocolate Chip Trip).

I recently did a huge overhaul and expansion of that system and this video details that journey.

For a recent interview detailing this system and my involvement with Tool, check out Kris West's Spiral Out podcast:

Moog Taurus II Synth Bass Pedal System SN 2647 w/ Original Patch Sheets & Manual

Note the handle on the back of the pedal for carrying it around.

"Closer to "Excellent" condition if not for the previous (original) owner's decision to "paint" notes on the pedals. (It could be removed with relative ease, but we decided to leave it to the next proud owner.) Only a handful of minor scuffs and dings are visible (especially on the corners of the wooden side panels). The graphics are all bright, the module panel is clean, knobs and fader tips are original, the pedals (aside from the painted notes) are clean with no cracks or wear.

The module (343A) and pedal unit (343B) have been fully tested and are working perfectly. Of course, there's a little pitch drift, which we expect. Matching serial numbers!

We're offering the original owner's manual, four of the hard-to-find settings overlays (Original Taurus Voice, Solo VI, Bass I, Bass VII - some staining), pole mount (they're straight mic stands without the base - some pitting), the original factory power supply, and a 'vintage' MIDI cable."

Qun mk2 : Piano mode (Only 8 keys piano)

"Qun mk2 has piano mode, which is not so practical, external MIDI keyboard is recommended for normal use, because it has only 8 keys.
However, it can do some fun stuff with scale quantize and quick transpose turning the dial."

DX5 playing Alphaville "Dance With Me" (edit cover)

video upload by DX5

"This is the first take, first time I played it on its entirely after practising section by section only, hence some variations can be found. Gear used:
Left: Kurzweil PC1x
Right: Roland JX8P, Emu Emax
Backtrack previously recorded by me on Pro Tools. All sounds were synthesized and sampled from my own synths, including a Yamaha DX7 II FD for the bell sound (which seems they used for the original track).

Original song composed by Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd, Ricky Echolette.
Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara."

"The GR-20 Guitar Synthesizer makes playing high-quality synthesizer and instrument sounds from your guitar as simple as 1-2-3. First, attach the included GK-3 Divided Pickup to your steel-stringed electric (no drilling necessary). Second, select the type of sound you want using the Bank knob. Third, choose a sound variation using the Number/Value dial and start playing. With the GR-20, its easy to tap into the power of guitar synthesis."
