Dtronics DT7 Controller for Yamaha DX7

I believe the listing is for the controller only. Posting as I thought the shot was interesting. Most pics are posed so to speak. This one kind of brings you into the raw space. It also gives you a sense of size and positioning in this particular case. You don't see them too often so thought it worth a post.

It almost looks like the octopus tentacle & crab claw are coming out of the Liven.

"An underrated synthesizer, the SY-2 has a really fun vibe to it. Imagine a preset based monosynth with a CS series tone to it. In very good cosmetic condition, comes with lid and legs."

"Quick and rough test of functionality of a Steinberger GL2T-GR electric guitar (equipped with the Roland 24 pin controller circuitry) and a Roland GR300 Analog Guitar Synthesizer."



via this auction

"This is an original and fantastic sounding Roland GR-300 Guitar Synthesizer from the 1980s. It has the Craig Anderton external Vibrato controller input modification so you can control vibrato depth from a control voltage foot pedal.

It is in very good physical condition and works perfectly. It still has the protective plastic cover. I’ve had this unit since 1994 and only used it a few times a year in a studio."

NYMPHES / An Outdoors Sacred Performance by OMEGA dB


video upload by Dreadbox

"We are so happy and excited for this collaboration with OMEGA dB

'It's wonderful to be able to take your favourite synths with you and be inspired by magical places. This time, I have brought with me my Dreadbox NYMPHES with OP-Z and a Powerbank to power it.

I have been to “L’Ermita de La Trinitat”, a sacred place on the heights of the “Parc Natural del Garraf” in Sitges, a beautiful place with views of the Mediterranean Sea surrounded by pine forests.

This was a part of my happening. From here to Greece with love.'

TASTY CHIPS GR-1 - Scratching the Surface


Part 1 (ambient) video upload by Megan Leber

"This is the first part of a little series I'll record with the Tasty Chips Electronics GR-1. I loooove granular synthesis and this machine is a beast! I'm just scratching the surface here, so I'll definitely record some more videos in the future where I'll be using more complex settings (and the modular of course!). Enjooooy!"

TASTY CHIPS GR-1 - Scratching the surface - Part 2 (techno)


"The long awaited part 2! Jamming with the Tasty Chips GR-1 (not MIDI synced) and playing with the LFO's. Later I recorded an improvised piece with my Roland TR-8S to give it some context. Enjoy!"

Haken Audio - EaganMatrix Module - Testing Processor Presets


video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"The HakenAudio Eurorack EaganMatrix module is not only a CV and MPE midi controlled physical modelling synth (supporting many other sound generation models) but also can function as a DSP audio processor. The Module comes with a number of Audio Processing presets in the 'Processor' category that you send Audio to through the L/R Audio input ports. These range from reverb and delays to Karplus Strong and FeedBack Network Delay processing options (many more options will likely be available in future releases and you can easily create your own in the EaganMatrix (certainly a heck of a lot easier than writing your own DSP processing code).

I thought I'd test them all using a filtered, envelope generator shaped noise pulse (which is ideal for some of the Karplus and Delay network examples). Some of them don't do much on a short noise pulse so at the end I run them on constant filtered noise as well.

No talking on this one. Just stepping through the presets sending the noise pulses and then playing with some of the Macro Controls that change various parameters of them in real time - which you can do from the module with the Rotary or through the Haken Editor or using a Midi Controller. But this test is all CV and Audio controlled."

Foreigner - Cold As Ice (Live At The Rainbow '78) w/ an EML 101



video upload by Mercury

EML 101 lead at 4:10

Two synth spotting videos sent in via Dustin who had the following to say (2nd video below):

"I don't recall ever seeing an EML 101 onstage with any of the big 70's radio bands -of course, it's almost always the MiniMoog, Arp 2600/Odyssey, etc. So I was a bit baffled trying to figure out exactly what synth this is during this live video.

It's a bit hard to see, and it's on a custom raised stand facing the audience, separate from the connected keyboard. The tip off for me that it might be an EML 101 was the distinct metal closing latch that you can see here on the keyboard.

As always, this killer synth sounds great, and kudos to him for having the guts to play a bit of a different rig than seemed to be on everyones elses stage at the time.

Anybody know of another big band like this using EML's live?

Update: some mentions of other artists that used the EML 101 in previous posts here.

And:

Foreigner - Double Vision (Official Music Video)

video upload by RHINO

In this video you can clearly see that this is an EML 101 (pause at 0:52).

"You're watching the official music video for Foreigner - 'Double Vision' from the album 'Double Vision' (1978). 'Double Vision' reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100."

Update2 via Rick Steff in the comments: "al talks about it here: https://al-greenwood.com/home/blog/a-classic-turns-50" From that link:



A CLASSIC TURNS 50!

The EML 101 Synthesizer turns 50 this year! I was working with the late and great Walter Sear at Sear Sound Studio when he introduced me to this ground-breaking synth. He was also a partner with Robert Moog and instrumental in developing the Minimoog. I used this synth on the first 2 Foreigner albums on the tracks - 'Feels Like the First Time, Cold As Ice, Damage is Done, and Spellbinder.
