Tom Oberheim's Jacket


Very "Daft Punk." Apparently this one was owned by Tom Oberheim himself. Man I am tempted... If anyone out there gets it, please post back with a comment and let us know. It would be great to know this went to a good home. Title link takes you to more shots pulled via this auction. The other shots include images of it in silver reversible . Sent my way via brian comnes.

Details:
"It’s True! My very good friend, Mr. Tom Oberheim personally gave me his own Oberheim jacket has a thank you for supplying him with key electronic components and consulting with him on his electronic needs as he began the rise of Marion Systems. Tom is a good friend and a fantastic man with incredible genius. As a young man I grew to have a ton of respect for him and enjoyed hanging out with him in his Santa Monica office as Marion Systems grew.

Tom Oberheim (mini bio)
Synthesis Pioneer

Tom Oberheim has been developing electronic products for musicians for over 35 years. He invented a number of innovative electronic music products, including: the first polyphonic music synthesizer, the first phase shifter and ring modulator for the performing musician, the first completely programmable music synthesizer, and the first electronic music system that incorporated a synchronized music synthesizer, digital sequencer and digital drum machine. He has founded and managed three electronic music product companies, and served as a CEO and CTO. He also participated in the development and implementation of the MIDI standard."

Tom, forgive me for putting your jacket on Ebay, but I feel it should be passed on to another fan of your fantastic legacy (not to mention it doesn’t fit me anymore).

This silk, zip up Jacket is in FANTASTIC condition, reversible, and has the large GREAT Oberheim Logo embroidered on both the “black side as well as the silver side”. Also since this was Tom’s jacket “Oberheim” is embroidered on the front left breast area of the black side. The jacket can be worn comfortably by a man or woman and I would say the size is a man’s large, based on Tom’s size and when it fit me."

DIY Kraakdoos / Crackle Box

I've mentioned the Crackle Box before, but I just realized I never put up a post exclusively on it and the home page for it. Title link takes you there.
"The Kraakdoos, or Crackle Box, was designed by Michel Waisvisz of STEIM in the seventies, the main concept being that the human body becomes a vital part of the electronics (or the other way around) while playing it. It is a touch and pressure sensitive device that squeeks and makes a lot of noise when played with."

There are samples on site.

Innerclock Systems Sync-Shift Mark II

Remember the Innerclock Systems Sync Shift? Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction. Note the auction is via Innerclock Systems and the shots are all stock, but they sure are nice. : ) I'm tempted to get one of these. I notice going from my 909 sync is fine, but going to the 909 is horrible. After about thirty seconds you really start to notice it. I hear the Sync-Shift keeps things completely in sync, and I've heard nothing but praise for it.

Robert Rich On Mastering The Tools In Electronic Music

Title link takes you to part 1 of an interview with Robert Rich on Gearwire. That's his MOTM modular behind him.

"He uses a number of old keyboards in his work as well including the Yamaha DX7 IID, Korg Wave Station and the Ensoniq ASR10 Sampler. Rich also uses the TimewArp 2600 by WayOutWare.

There is one piece of gear Rich uses a good deal; Synthesis Technology MOTM, a hybrid system with Midi to CV conversion.

'Its become my signature. It is a but of a luxury I enjoy it I grew up building modular synthesizers from kits so that is my language,” says Rich. “Only in the past 5 to 8 years that there has been a resurgence of analog synths-and a backlash against plug-ins. The experience of interacting with machines...there is something sensual about hardware. It touches the skin.'"

MOOG Minimoog Sound Charts

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction. Note the auction is for a Minimoog not just the Sound Charts.

Kawai K3m


No title link, just this shot pulled via this auction

I never knew it came with a wave card. The K3m is capable of rudimentary additive synthesis. You can add harmonics to build up a sound.

Update: The seller, Robert, sent me a hi-res scan of the card. You can find it here.
