DIGIGRAM MC 5 COMPOSER - A Sequencer That Lets You Connect a Printer to it

via this auction

This one was spotted and sent in via xonox, who translated the recent EEH Zaunkönig article. Note this is the first post to mention the DIGIGRAM MC 5 or rebranded Farfisa MC5.

The following description from the listing appears to have been pulled from Music Technology - October 1987, captured on Mu:sines. It also appears to have been rebranded as the Farfisa MC5 as seen below the ZYKLUS here. [Update: link fixed]

"The Musical Composer from French company Digigram combines sequencing and music printing functions in a single unit. Is it the answer to every composer's dream?

CREATING A SCORE from a musical performance is an area of music production well suited to inclusion in a MIDI sequencing system. The advantages are numerous: a composer can print out compositions, an improviser can print out a performance, an arranger can print out parts. And any musician, regardless of whether or not they can read or write music, can have a printed score of their music for others to play or for copyright purposes.

While an increasing number of MIDI software companies are writing music printing programs for the Apple Macintosh, IBM PC and Atari ST, French company Digigram have chosen to combine sequencing and printing functions in a single dedicated unit which needs the addition of an IBM PC-compatible printer (at around £200+) to become what the manual describes in a burst of enthusiasm as "a high performance tool, a veritable digital MIDI studio". Well, we shall see.

The MC5 Musical Composer has a 12-track sequencer which can store upwards of 11,000 notes recorded in real and step time. Ten of these tracks are polyphonic (each up to eight notes) and the remaining two - labelled Melody and Chord - are monophonic and, er, chordal respectively (more on these later). The MC5 allows you to mix two tracks onto a third empty track, copy a track onto an empty track, chain two tracks together to form a new track, and erase tracks either individually or all together. Mixed tracks can't be edited or printed, however.

Inspired by music from Haus Arafna i tried to create a noisy, scary soundscape just with the Prophet-10 and some delay"

Circuit Tracks meets MiRack

video upload by motobor

"Wanted to experiment with some compact setups. This time I connected circuit tracks to Ipad and used MiRack to sequence the Tracks synths and used midi tracks to sequence one synth on the mirack and also trigger some randomisatsion on there. MiRack has lots of options to send and recive midi. As the Tracks is connected to the ipad over USB then it is easy to map mirack modul knobs to the tracks.
If there is intrest how to set this up I can make another detailed video about it."

Ann Annie - Wildlife soundscapes, crusty tape, Eurorack Ambience & a big surprise // Velocity 2019

video upload by DivKidVideo

"Here we have Ann Annie’s performance at the event ‘Velocity’ from back in 2019. It was the first Velocity event held by Modular Seattle and Patchwerks and the new one is coming up, full info here - https://www.velocityseattle.com

Ann Annie brought us a blissful mix of wildlife soundscapes, crusty and noisy tape loops with live manipulations and widescreen Eurorack ambience before delving into an unexpected and uplifting section that definitely took the audience by surprise.

Earlier in the year I sat down to talk with Ann Annie and go through the set up and approaches to creating and performing. It was a wonderful conversation I was really glad to be able to capture and share, check that out here":

Eli gives us a short performance on his 6U performance rig, talks about his musical background, getting into modular synths and we go through his set up for both recorded and performed modular music."
