"Its alright"


YouTube via TheSynthFreq | June 23, 2010 | 4:41

"Hi! :)
This is a new composition written 6-19-10.
We have a special guest joining us, our best friend Rachel is performing the synth strings patch using the Roland D-50 (original patch) controlled through the Roland A-90. She has only played synths for 4 DAYS, she's awesome!! :)
Crystal (msMotif6) is playing the Motif6, the organ,cymbals, and synth patch are played by her.
I am playing the lead on the Roland Alpha Juno-1. The track on the Motif6 , the Rhodes, and the drums were written and sequenced by me. :)

Please enjoy!! :)

:) TSF MsMotif6 and Rachel"

DOUP 1, 2, 3 Musical Machines


flickr set by armenws (click for more)
"Doup1 (top right) being used for the speaker. The voltage levels of the DOUP2 and 3 are too hot for it to handle. Each one has a speaker now, and the Doup2 even has a modular feedback mic on the plugbank.

Also I might add the mixer bottom right was found at the Vancouver Flea Market for the reasonable price of 15$. And it works. What are the odds...

Top left is a little blue box that just has a few 100k potentiometers, resistors, and converts phone plugs to the phono more common audio plugs that the mixer is fitted for. Needed something to adapt the plugs.

DOUP3 (top-center-left) has a lot of voltage range, more than DOUP2.

Also more speed variation since I put in a 100k pot parallel with the 1m pot (the flipswitch next to the blue patch cord taps it in). So it can go very slow to very fast.

Now I just need to put in a volume control for the built-in speaker. It's deafening."






LZX Visionary - Korg MS-20 as Video Controller


YouTube via lzxindustries | June 23, 2010 | 8:00

"In this clip control voltages from the Korg MS-20 are sent into modules in the LZX Visionary video synthesizer to control parameters of the video. The control voltages used are keyboard voltage, mod wheel, envelope and LFO. We apologize for the audio quality in this clip. For more information please visit http://www.lzxindustries.net"

Roland System 100m + SCI Pro One + Oberkorn Analogue Sequencer


YouTube via rezfilter — June 23, 2010 — "The Oberkorn analog sequencer is controlling the Roland 100m's filter and amplifier and creating a pseudo-noise hi-hat and snare (CV B). The Pro One's accepting a CV IN from the Oberkorn, as well as a FILTER IN to control the filter amount via the third row of CV (Oberkorn, CV C). The bassline on the Pro One was dialed in via Oberkorn row CV A.

No F/X or outside gear used (dry), only the unprocessed analog machines.

YouTube audio limitations have stunted the output of the 100m's hi-hats - audible aliasing is present."

YouTube via Oxix52 — June 23, 2010 —

"I just received my new cabinet with the 250e and 227e yesterday. I have only scratched the surface of the sequencer, but I can tell is is very deep and fairly intuitive once you get past a couple of confusing spots. I love this system. I am still amazed by the complexity and variety of sounds one can extract from a single 261e oscillator."

Charles Cohen - June 2010 Chicago


"Xart and Trash_Audio hosted Charles Cohen and hair_loss (together known as Color is Luxury) from Philadelphia for a day of guided improvisation workshops and conversation. Their style of improvised electronics has been garnishing attention internationally, particularly Cohen's mastery of the Buchla Music Easel. Here is their performance from June 19th in Chicago."

Vinyl Rally


YouTube via yeldham — June 23, 2010 — "Car POV racing at the Vinyl Rally; a participatory play-set, kinetic sound and video installation combining vinyl fetishism, video arcade mystique and the machismo of motor sports into a in a video racing game played within a real world setting!

Imagine racing remote control cars with audio pick-ups attached to their chassis through a course constructed from a mass of disused vinyl records. Using vintage video arcade consoles and immersive video projections of the cars P.O.V. competitors will not only control the movements of the vehicles but also the parameters of the resulting sounds they create.

The rule is synths only. I'll justify this one as a DIY vinyl sampler.

Music From Outer Space Sequencer with Circular Pots

via Nath Null Object

"We’ve seen this circular design before but what is new here is my mate made a circuit board for the pots and switches on his home built CNC router.

He designed the boards using the program Flash and machined up the boards and the panel which is a 2 layer Perspex, green on top and white underneath.

This is his prototype front panel but the end result will be done in a thicker material."

Elektron Presents The Trinity, Part I


YouTube via ElektronHQ — June 23, 2010 — "This is an improvised DJ/live set using only the Elektron Octatrack, Machinedrum and Monomachine. Everything is done live. No additional effects or mixers were used.

The Octatrack plays back time stretched loops and samples. At the same time it sends out MIDI clock to the Machinedrum and the Monomachine. The audio outputs from these two units are connected to the two input pairs of the Octatrack. This makes the Octatrack function as a powerful mixer and effects unit in addition to being a sound source.

Thanks to Microfusa for shooting the videos.

Kalimba x Moogerfoogers x Multi-Pedal

In this video, a sample and hold waveform from the Multi-Pedal modulates the oscillator frequency of the Ring Mod while it creates aural cascades by controlling the feedback of the Analog Delay."

Early Model ARP EXPLORER1 SYNTH MK1 2900


via this auction

"974-75 ARP EXPLORER I, model#2900, first version/mark 1... I got most of my information from www.vintagesynthexplorer.com so please visit that site, however it's a rarer ARP synth, my version is earlier than the unit pictured on that great site, the info is limited so here are a few more specifics:
The ARP Explorer model 2900 has only one oscillator but same design as used in the production of the larger model 2600. The ARP Explorer has the same oscillator and controls(plus noise waveform) and effects section(plus portamento and auto-bend) used on the popular ARP LITTLE BROTHER. Unfortunately only one each 1/4 and RCA mono outputs.

The Explorer I uses the same chassis and endcaps as the PRO-SOLOIST, same 37 key keybed, Explorer has no aftertouch.

This Explorer I 2900 first version has the same panel cosmetics (gold lettering on black) and slider tip color scheme of the 1974-76 Odyssey Mk II

Combination of subtractive and semi-additive (one oscillator) synthesis with 4 pitch ranges , select one, all, or any combination. Five waveforms, select one, all, or any combination.

Pitch bend knob with 1 octave up or down keyboard range just like Mk 1&2 Odyssey.

Switchable between preset and manual mode for both ADSR section and filter section- a standard gate is the ADSR "preset", the filter is a 4-pole lowpass filter with cutoff and res.

LFO has separate level control in the upper section, and in the lower effects section, speed and vibrato depth, with vibrato delay on/off, or a single-note sample-and hold or perpetual "repeat" with "auto" or "KYBRD" modes also using the LFO speed as repeat rate.

Nice and dark sounding, warmth, and obviously a very 1970s sound."
