Oberheim Four Voice Synth Programmer Panel - Black RARE


via this auction

"Up for sale is a rare black Oberheim Four Voice or Eight Voice Programmer panel. Oberheim only made a very small number of black TVS-1, FVS-1, and EVS-1 synths for the NAMM show one year as demonstrator models. I have been told that Oberheim had enough black panels made to build 2 TVS-1 models, 4 FVS-1 models, and 1 EVS-1 model with a few spare panels left over, but I have never been able to confirm this. I have pictures of 1 of the original black Four Voice models, and an original black Eight Voice. I have also seen pictures of a Four Voice that has been rack mounted and no longer has its Programmer Module. There are pictures on the web of a stand alone version of the black Mini-Sequencer as well as an individual black Mini-Sequencer module that was pulled from an FVS or EVS. There are also pictures of a black TVS-1 as well but of course it didn’t use this Polyphonic Programmer Module. This is the front panel only, programmer electronics not included."

Korg microSTATION - string brass preset 1-49 HQ


YouTube via triumphthruxton | September 03, 2010

"String preset 1 to 49, Korg microSTATION is a new workstation from Korg. I just got the first shipment to Europe and I have had the Korg M3 and the Korg M50 Workstation before. This is a light weight 2.5 kg/ 6lbs workstation/synthesizer with amazing sounds and a built in sequencer.

Pros: portabel and easy to use, amazing sounds from the bigger M3 series, sequencer, great software editor

Cons: mini keys, small LCD display

Everything recorder with a Korg SR1 Sound On Sound field recorder.

You can make a 16 channel song with drums, bass lines, leads, pads and so on. Use up to 5 effects and master effects and then save your work to a SD card. With the USB connection it can act as an VST in your DAW like Cubase, Logic, Live. Since I use it in a studio it is very easy to just put it in a bag and use it both at home and in the studio. I initially bought the Korg M50 but 7 kg/15 lbs was bulky since I also play bass guitar and use Cubase on my laptop, impossible to get all that equipment on the metro."

MPC Electronics MPC-1 Analog Drum Machine Demo


YouTube via snolan1990 | September 03, 2010

"This is a brief overview of the features and sounds of the MPC Electronics Music Percussion Computer. This is a fully Analog Drum Machine made in Cambrige in England in 1982 by MPC Electronics featuring a four pattern internal sequencer and plenty of interfacing methods for a machine of this age. For whatever reason this machine seemed to fade almost entirely into obscurity, however if you managed to find one in fully working order it would make a fine addition to any electronic studio.

It should be noted that this machine is not 100% working, the internal battery has leaked and damaged the external sync circuits meaning that it will only work as master clock and a few of the pots are broken. Most notably the snare tune and decay pots are gone resulting in the snare being a very short burst click sound where as on a full working unit it would probably sound closer to a 909 snare.

For the cheesy little demo track at the end of this video the instruments used are as follows.

Drums - MPC-1
Latin Percussion - Roland TR-727
Electronic Piano - Roland JX-3P
Bass - Oberheim DPX-1 (with Juno-60 bass patch sample)
Harpsichord - Akai S900 (with Juno-60 patch sample)
Organ - Roland Juno-60
Sequencer - Akai ASQ10"

retro 1950's modular synth art for screen-printing

via The B-Roll "Since I need to come up with some screen-printing designs for our little burgeoning artist collective I decided to google image search “vintage control panels” for inspiration. I ultimately want to use these components to create an imaginary 1950′s modular synth. Some kind of modular that never existed but you wish it did. I made these in Inkscape but they were most definitely not freehand. I actually didn’t use the tablet at all. It was created using a lot of primitive shapes and the union command. I really dig the way they look though."

Doepfer FP5 Foot Controller

via Noisebug on Ebay
"NEW IN BOX
about 1m cable length, Stereo jack plug 1/4", potentiometer 10k linear (suitable e.g. for LMK4+/2+ or A-177)

dimensions:
overall: ~ 25 x 12 x 11 cm (down position) resp. 25 x 12 x 15 cm (up position)
Pin out of the stereo jack plug:
left (ccw) terminal of the potentiometer = GND terminal of the jack plug middle terminal (wiper) of the potentiometers = ring of the jack plug right (cw) terminal of the potentiometer = tip of the jack plug

Pay attention that not the full rotating angle of the potentiometer is covered but only about 50%. If the end terminals of the potentiometer are e.g. connected to GND and +5V only a voltange range 0...+2.5V is covered ! Of course the foot control inputs of our keyboards take this special behaviour into consideration but e.g. for DIY/OEM applications one has to pay attention to the limited rotating angle."

"Checking the tracking/drifting. They track fine individually, but together there's some very small divergence that I'll need to adjust by ear. I hate doing that, but it's unavoidable.

The hardest part of this test is getting the frequencies exactly matched. After that, they just sit there, drifting slowly and making an aweome sound."

MWFX Wave Machine - MultiVCO Guitar/Bass Synth Vintage FX

via this auction

"Providing the guitarist with a chance to enter the realms of the synthesizer, The Wave Machine is a multiple VCO for your guitar. Implementing similar wave shaping techniques to those used within vintage analog synthesizers, the guitarist (or bassist/keyboardist) is provided with three wave shapes, Saw, Triangle and Square.

In taking the pitch from your guitar's pickups and moulding it into one of the three wave shapes, it is possible to create some unique guitar tones, especially when used in conjunction with other effects such as chorus, autowah and delay. The Saw wave produces a rich nasally sound, capable of mimicking brass tones whereas Triangle smooths your sound into something closer to that of flute and woodwind. Lastly Square wave gives your guitar that classic analog synth sound."

MWFX 8 Bit - Glitch/Chiptune

via this auction

"Inspired by Atari, Nintendo, C64, Amiga and Spectrum (and possibly Acorn/BBC) The 8 Bit, our square egg, pulls apart the fundamental tones from your guitar note and turns them into 'glitchy' square pulses reminiscent of 8 bit computer music. From dirty octave down to pitch shifting trail offs this is a truly unique pedal.

With just one control on top for volume and a setting inside to control response it is a simple effect primarily designed to react to the velocity, pitch and length of your picking. As you'll notice in the samples below the 8-Bit is capable of raunchy bass synth tones to pixelated lead sounds."

Hypersonic SIDizer

" SIDizer is a state-of-art emulation of legendary SID chip in a form of a modern software synthesizer. Using circuit modeling technology nearly all unique features of two versions (6581-8580) of SID chip among their famous flaws are accurately modeled. This emulation focuses on simulating nonlinear character of SID filter and mimicking special 6581 distortion that mainly influence the alternation of filtered signal in a real SID chip. It offers additional envelopes, LFOs , mod matrix and a routable bit-cruncher for adding extra lo-fi sound quality. SIDizer GUI is inspired from HyperSID that offers easy tweaking for all parameters on a single page. It is not only a powerful instrument for creating chip-tune style but it can produce a unique type of analog sound colored with harmonic distortion that is suited for creating bass, lead and drum sounds.

Main features:
-3 oscillators offering 8 waveforms: Saw, Triangle, Square, Pitched noise, "AND" combinations of them
-Oscillators special features: ring, sync, phase sync, Sqr PW, level
-Selectable 6581-8580 D/A distortion
-3 Amp envelopes ADSR
-12 dB (LP & HP), 6 dB BP SID modeled Filter
-Best matched Exponential-fitted curves for 6581-8580 filter frequencies
-Simulating 6581 half wave filter distortion
-1 Filter envelope + key track for filter freq
-2 LFOs each with 4 simultaneous outputs offering sync and retriggering option
-1 Mod envelope
-Versatile Modulation matrix
-Bug-generator module for reproducing famous bugs: oscillator leakage, ex-input noise
-Bit Cruncher with pre and post filter route option
-Advanced 8 step C64 like arpeggiator
-Master: Pitch and Mod wheel, Porta, Spread, Reverb, Delay
-Easy to use GUI
-Factory soundbank created by Torben Hansen (aka Metal of Vibrants)"
