The Future Was Then | Synth Library Music | Retro Computing


video upload by Mamotreco

"Visited a museum of technology with a wonderful computing exhibit which included computers of all shapes and sizes (from 70s mainframe to 80s 8-bit home computers and some 90s systems too).

#vintagecomputer #80ssynth #homecomputers

The background music track "Cyclades" is from my Cybersyn - Intrigues Telematiques album (available here with exclusive artwork: https://synthandsundry.bandcamp.com/a...) or as part of the Mamotreco Channel Compilation linked below.

Cyclades is a reference to a pre-TCP/IP network protocol prototyped in France in the early 70s. While the standard was never adopted for France's homegrown telematic revolution, it did incorporate packet switching and was designed to work as a network of networks. As with much advanced technology, it fell by the wayside when the French Postal Service (La Poste/P.T.T.) opted for the more established but more primitive Transpac concept based on the X.25 network standard.

Analogue Systems Rs Integrator System, EMS Synthi Filter + Trapezoid Generator

via this auction

"Rare analogue systems integrator system with EMS synthi filter and trapezoid generator.

These units and modules are difficult to source these days but we’re very popular back in the early days of eurorack modular. Audio and voltage signals fully compatible with Doepfer systems but you will require an adapter cable to plug these modules into a Doepfer power supply and vice versa.

Everything is in great functioning condition for its age. Comes with 8 cables to get you started.

All the choices in the Eurorack space can be fun but nothing quite compares to a full modular setup made up of modules designed to be used together!"
