Chocolate icecream and a synthesizer

Chocolate icecream and a synthesizer from lance iden on Vimeo.


"Nice little patch/jam while i enjoy a bowl of ice cream. this patch uses the mfb seg01 as the main trigger source. it counts for the a-160/161 which is wired as a 8step sequencer through 2 mixers. then the voltage is summed with the a-149 random quantized voltage source (N+1) and then through the miniwave quantizer table. out to 2 doepfer oscs and then through 2 doepfer phase shifters. sounds then through vcas to the output mixer. vca modulated by envelope generators triggered by the seq-1. and a square osc ouput to the livewire frequensteiner. then mixed in a vca. you can hear the spoon/bowl combo as i noodle."

EMU ANALOG SYNTHESIZER CONTROLLER PEDAL

via this auction
"EXTREMELY RARE EMU VPDL PEDAL. This pedal was part of a larger EMU set up at one time. The [1/4"] cable length is 6' feet and is housed in a thick protective sheathing, so it is very durable and not prone to twisting. This pedal is extremely close in make and capability to the STEINER PARKER CONTROL VOLTAGE PEDALS from the 70's as well as the MOOG MODULAR CV PEDALS of the same time.

As you can see from the photograph, the pedal is marked "VPDL" and I believe this stands for VOLTAGE PEDAL.

IT WORKS WITH THE NEW MOOG GEAR AS WELL AS MANY OLDER ANALOG SYNTHESIZERS."

Sold For: US $54.00

"Here's the super-fun hamheart featherduster synth box. There's a core oscillator with 3-way pitch range switch. There are four LFO's for modulation and a variable mod control knob that goes from subtle to screwy. There's also a great and unique filter which can be bypassed completely if you want. We like these little guys. They sound great and they're oh-so-unique. Each one has different artwork and we love that!"

iConnectMIDI - MIDI Hardware for the iPhone/iPad/iTouch

http://www.iconnectivity.com

Note the following description does not mention the iPad, however I am assuming this will work with it as well:

"Simply plug your electronic instrument (synthesizer, guitar, whatever) into iConnectMIDI and you can play and control your music, using your iPhone or iPod, your instrument, or both at the same time.

You’re not limited to one musical instrument either. With iConnectMIDI you can connect up to 16 devices in a chain, controlling all of them with your iPhone or iPod Touch.

USB Connectivity
ConnectMIDI’s USB port allows you to plug a USB-enabled electronic instrument into your iPhone or iPod Touch. Put on some headphones, load up an appropriate sequencing app on your phone, and you have the perfect mini-studio for travelling.

The USB port also allows you to plug your instrument into a Mac or PC laptop via iConnectMIDI.

Rugged and Portable
Your iConnectMIDI device is compact and tough, roughly the half the size of a paperback novel. With its brushed metal casing it can take a beating on tour, and its rubberized feet keep it from sliding around on stage or on your desk."

Chroma Polaris Analog Synthesizer

via these auctions
"1984 Chroma Polaris Rev. 9 Analog synthesizer Differences in the Rev. 5 and Rev. 9 synths: The Rev. 9 has a better feeling keyboard. It is also less prone to software glitches in my experience. The Rev. 5 has nicer sliders which have an extra 4 solder joints.

What’s been done:
20 new sliders were installed. As a preventative measure, the flat ribbon cables have been trimmed. There's a lot of internet lore about these cables so I've included some photos of the procedure on the Rev. 5 I'm selling. It’s been cleaned, calibrated and has a new memory battery.

What’s it capable of:
All the sliders transmit midi, so you can record filter sweeps and whatnot on the fly. The sound is completely voltage controlled analog, and it can play 3 patches at once. The Polaris uses 6 CEM 3372 VCFs and 6 very hard to find CEM 3374 VCO chips. These are also used in classic synths like the Oberheim Xpander and the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS/600/T8. Manuals and more info available at the excellent website:

Terratec Komplexer - Wavetable Tool Update

An updated version is available. See the update in this post.

HMB-TEC® Midi Controller for the iPad iPhone and iPod Touch

"Sensational MIDI solution and tool for your iPhone ™ and iPodTouch ™!

Would you like to remotely control your MIDI devices, like Midi keyboard, Drummachine or Synthesizer with the iPhone to send control sequences, select tools, select Effects ...? This iP / iPT-app in conjunction with some easy to build DIY hardware makes it possible. The need for the connection hardware you can build a few simple steps and a few electronic components themselves. You can also select all ready built and tested in order HMB | TEC Web Store.

How does this brilliant app work?
Connect the hardware to your iP/iPT 4-pin headphone socket and operate one of the 12 function keys. The operation mode selected by default is "feature". You can send pre-defined midi sequence with one touch. You can change this default setup, just press the "Contence" button and press the function button to change. The same also applies to the button labels, where you previously choose "Title" for readers to modify the desired function key label.

Selecting the function mode "transmit" You can make direct entries of midi sequences and send it via midi to your own devices. In both modes you can embed the typical Midi commands. The following commands are available:

"a" = MIDI channel select 1. .16, e.g. "a2" is selecting midi channel no. 2 (out of 16 normally available)
"b" = command to send pitch bend change , e.g. "b100 0"
"c" = control change command, e.g. "c7 127" to set the volume to maximum
"n" = plays notes, for example, "n20", or play multiple notes "n20 n30 n36"
"o" switch off = note, for example "o20" or "o21 o22 o100"
"p" = Patch Change, e.g. "p2"
"r" = Midi reset

The commands you can modify to suit your requirements, or overwrite it. The changes, of course, remain even after you switch off your iP/iPT. So it is very easy to create your personal MIDI Pad fully self configured and remotely control your external MIDI drumbox or your MIDI keyboard. In the pre-defined key settings, you will find further relevant examples. By pressing the "Help" it displays a help page, e.g with a circuit diagram how to build the midi hardware option. In the current version two help pages are available, they change at every access.


IMPORTANT NOTES, DISCLAIMER
To run this app you need an additional hardware, you can create yourself as a little DIY project or refer HMBTEC web store were you can purchase ready for use hardware. The midi-terminal operates unidirectionally, i.e. it can only send data - not received! For damage caused by the operation of DIY hardware-created the author assumes no responsibility. Always make sure that no voltage from outside the device (IP / IP) is fed!"

Shipping News by David Morley - ARP 2500 Modular synthesizer demonstration


YouTube via buchla300

"Here is a demo of the ARP 2500 modular I made. No other instrument was used.
My objective was to show off the range of the instrument in a musical context.

Please visit http://www.davidmorley.com and check out my other works and a better quality version of "Shipping News"

The video was something I knocked up in iMovie just in time for the Oscars...
Multitracked in Logic 8. Mixed on my D&R Orion desk. Reverb came from my EMT 246 and an Eventide H3000 was used for delay. "

Demonstrating Accent & Slide features of the TBX. Europa can activate this. The combo makes a great and accurate 303 partnership. Though of course the Europa will do far more than just sequence a 303 line!"

Yamaha CS-15 with Original Case

via this auction

"The Yamaha CS-15 is equipped with 2 complete VCO's, VCF's, VCA's, and EG's. In theory, it is two separate monophonic, or "duophonic" systems. There are also many sound source routing possibilities, which lends a semi-modular approach to sound synthesis. Please check out the reviews at harmony central or vintage synths for a more comprehensive understanding of it's operational capabilities."
