MAM / HDB / Vermona 'Mini Syncussion DRM 2' Analog Kick Drum Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"This extremely rare piece is the single 'DRUM' channel from the famed DRM and Syncussion series of analog drum synthesizers made by MAM / Vermona. It is also comparable to the new 'Kick Lancet' from Vermona as you'll notice that other than the additions of Time, Noise, and Wave it has the same controls (Distortion is now called Balls). It was designed to deliver solid analog kick drums which it does with ease, covering the range from bass heavy sponginess to clicking hard edged thumps. It also produces some unmistakable mono synth type effects and basses with the decay set long. Identical to its full sized counterparts, the DRUM channel has eight knobs to model your tones: Decay, Pitch, Bend, Attack, FM Int, FM Freq, Distortion, and Volume. There is also a manual trigger on the front so you can tweak your sound and hear the results in real time without any need for a computer or external trigger. On the back it has a mono output, midi in, and power in. It responds to Midi note on / off and velocity; there is no patch memory or presets - only tweak as you go analog goodness! Enjoy"

I Dream of Wires 5: Richard Devine - The Analog Voodoo Effect


I Dream of Wires 5: Richard Devine - The Analog Voodoo Effect from MUTEK on Vimeo.
Richard Devine is an Atlanta-based electronic musician and sound designer. He is recognized for producing a layered and heavily processed sound, combining influences from hip-hop, to old and modern electronic music. Richard Devine has released records through such esteemed labels as Schematic and Warp Records, and is the creative force behind his own sound design company, Devine Sound. Though he has contributed sound design to a number of hardware and software manufacturers, he recently released his first official sample library through Sony Creative Software. Devine has also scored commercials for the likes of Nike and Touchstone Pictures.

Since the late-90s, Richard Devine's sound has been synonymous with taking cutting-edge computer-based DSP (digital signal processing) to its limits. In recent years, however, Devine has also become a convert to the unlimited sonic capabilities and hands-on "analog voodoo effect" of the Eurorack modular format. I Dream of Wires spoke to Devine at NAMM 2012, which he attends annually. Judging by the studio footage on his Vimeo channel, and his wild enthusiasm on the subject, Devine is a bonafide Eurorack obsessive!

All music and sound in this video is by Richard Devine. Additional studio footage supplied by Richard Devine.

Motherboard TV: Morton Subotnick, Father of Electronic Music


via Motherboard.TV via Scott Sharon on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"What kind of music would robots make? Blips and bloops, most likely, with a whole lot of abstract tones and soundwave manipulation. You know, droning stuff that sounds like auditory binary. I mean, come on. How musical could a robot be?

Such were the early days of electronic music, whose early proponents put much more emphasis on the “electronic” than the “music.” That’s not to denigrate the incredible complexity of wave generators or tiny bits of tape spliced together on splicing blocks. It’s just to point out that what we see as electronic music today was once well and truly the sound of electronics themselves.

So who’s responsible for turning the electro tide towards real music? Why, Morton Subotnick of course.

As is often the case in music, it was a bicoastal thing: Subotnick, Ramon Sender, and Don Buchla spent the 60s in San Francisco developing what may be the world’s first analog synthesizer, the ‘electronic music easel’ BUCHLA 100, while Robert Moog was putting together his incredible keyboard on the East Coast.

BUCHLA 100 was brilliant because, instead of a keyboard, it relied on pressure sensitive touch-plates. Those controlled keys that could be individually tuned, allowing for an unlimited number of sound-producing possibilities. It freed musicians from the sine, sawtooth, and square bonds of the past, and allowed electronic music to flourish.

Subotnick himself was the first to put his creation through its creative paces. Recorded over the span of a year in New York, his album Silver Apples of the Moon stands as the first all-electronic LP, and effectively declared the era of computer music dead. The album has since been inducted into the Library of Congress.

As part of our Electric Independence series, in 2011 we paid a visit to Subotnick at his Lower East Side studio to chat about the past and future of electronic music. Remember one thing the next time you’re in a club with some cyborg DJ poking away at a booth full of weird gadgets: If it wasn’t for Subotnick, you’d be stuck listening to robot chatter."

Eurorack L-1 AC/DC Mixer

via L-1: "Mixer has 4 inputs which can be mixed in pairs and all together. Inputs are AC or DC coupled in pairs by switches. Potentiometers attenuate gain, unity gain at the center their range, max gain = 2. So it is amplifying mixer. PCB made for 15mm Alpha pots with clear shaft, so funny 3mm LEDs can be mounted. Several options are for opamps. I've choose OP270 because of their great DC precision and sound quality. TL072 is cheap budget variant. OPA2604 has sound quality a bit better than OP270 but DC precision as in TL072. The device can work from 12V and 15V..."

Bob Moog 1972 MAESTRO THEREMIN TH-1 SN E-0809

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Pics of the inside below.

"For your consideration is this vintage 1972 Maestro Theremin "TH-1" electronic musical proximity instrument designed byBob Moog for Maestro. This particular example, serial number E-0809, is in near mint all original condition. The Maestro TH-1, unlike typical theremins, uses (2) plate antennas which creates a tonally unique sound, and while not the most musical, it is certainly one of the rarest and most unusual theremins ever built. With an aesthetic more like a space-age alien mind-reading device than that of its 1920's breadbox-like predecessor, this Moog-designed unit is by far the best looking of any produced, and presents quite impressively when mounted atop a mic stand.

The Maestro TH-1 was famously used by Bobby Bilan who's stint with The Guess Who in 1979 solidified his importance in sonic wave manipulation for the next 30 years.

This example works perfectly and includes the original mic stand adapter, which mounts to the underside of the chassis. While these infrequently pop up on eBay, it is quite rare that example in such excellent shape is offered for sale, so don't miss out, this is a prime example."

1973 BALDWIN SYNTHA SOUND SN 254

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"For your consideration is this vintage 1973 Baldwin Syntha-Sound analog synthesizer by Gretsch & Baldwin. This particular example, serial number 254, is in excellent 100% all original condition and includes the original leatherette cover! Not much has been documented about this very low production synth, other than the fact that it is exceedingly rare, and finding one in perfect working condition seems to be near impossible. Sold along side its more famous electric harpsichord counterpart, this would make an unbelievable accessory, and would perfectly complement it in every way. Fantastic for analog synth fanatics, and studios low on real estate but high on tone, this is a great piece for most anyone who enjoys interesting musical instruments and hard-to-find synths.

This walnut-encased monosynth features a built-in amplifier with speakers. Simple in design and particularly elementary in respect to its sound options, Baldwin felt that this synth somehow competed with Moog, as suggested by their sales pitch "move over Moog." And while it certainly isn't in the same category, as it is not quite a serious synth, it is what the synth doesn't do that makes it charming and accessible. The simple sound palette is organic and usable, and perhaps more relevant today than it was at the time of its release. Think 8-bit, but better. This is definitely a fantastic choice for an introductory analog synth, or for those who prefer to literally plug-in-and-play. Several audio clips are available online."

"The GMS-714 Quad VCA/Gate module is now available in two forms, the original 1MU format and a 2MU module with additional controls. Added on each channel are an initial gain control and a switch to select whether the channel input to the internal mixer is taken before or after the output connector. This allows the user to exclude the channel from the internal mix. Shown here is the new GMS-714W module."

"The Eurorack version is shown here. It is 17.5HP wide and accommodate 2.5mm pitch mounting holes." MOTM format is now available as well.

via the PM Resonator page & previously posted here: "The PM Resonator is a recreation of the formant filter section of a Polymoog™ synthesizer in a standard 5U double-width modular panel. Each of the three filter channels has a control for frequency, signal gain, and emphasis or resonance.

A rotary switch selects the type of filter mode for each of the three channels. The modes are low pass, bandpass, band notch, and high pass."

Grove Audio Dual Joystick Controller in MU Format


via the Grove Audio Blog
http://www.groveaudio.com

"After a couple of attempts to build a joystick controller that offered good user accessibility, I think I have got a design that permits one hand operation from either the right or left. My goal was to allow the user to move the joystick and have the ability to trigger the gate buttons with the same hand.

This module includes a reference voltage source that is normalled into the X and Y inputs so that if no plug is inserted the stick position will vary between 0 and the reference voltage or from - reference to + reference. A preset value can be set for each access that varies the center point voltage and an input attenuator will allow scaling an input voltage that is then varied by the stick position. The gate buttons produce a 0 - 5 V gate signal on their respective gate output jacks."

Grove Audio GMS-1370 Stereo Effects


via Grove Audio
http://www.groveaudio.com/

"The GMS-1370 Stereo Effects module is the first of a new group of digital and hybrid digital/ analog modules to reach the prototype phase. This module offers up to 99 high quality stereo effects such as chorus, phasor and reverb utilizing 24bit 48kHz codecs. Effects can include up to four analog control inputs. A panel mounted LCD display, digital encoder and illuminated pushbuttons are used to select effect type and to enter control parameters.

The module is a 2MU panel with a depth of 2.5 inches behind the panel. A pair of front panel controls allows mixing of the input signal with the processed signal, eliminating the need for a separate mixer for simple effects patches."

Grove Audio BusyBox 6MU Roughly Based on the Minimoog Model D

via the Grove Audio Blog where you'll find the full post. Also be sure to check out the main Grove Audio site for more of what they have to offer.

"This 6MU module contains a complete synthesizer voice and an internal MIDI to CV converter. Internal routing is roughly based on the Moog Minimoog Model D. An analog routing system controlled by a processor offers alternative routing schemes to extend the usefulness of the unit as a standalone synthesizer. A couple of extra features not found on the Minimoog have been added such as ring modulator, linear FM modulation of the VCOs, and voltage controlled amplifiers on each VCO and external audio sources. The MIDI to CV converter can produce up to four CV/gate pairs and internal control voltages based on channel control messages from an external sequencer or keyboard controller can extend or replace internal modulation sources for the VCOs, the audio mixer or the filter. The filter core is a 4 pole low pass filter which feeds a signal matrix and analog switch that allows one of sixteen possible filter modes to be selected. Two envelope generators can be used to modulate parameters of the filter and apply a contour to the main audio output VCA. The depth of modulation can be controlled by the modulation wheel of a connected MIDI keyboard controller..."
