Gleeman Pentaphonic Synth Demo

via this auction
video below and at the auction.
"extremely rare vintage 1982 Gleeman Pentaphonic analog synth with original owner's manual... serial number 8110047, from the original owner.

The Gleeman Pentaphonic is a five-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer produced in extremely limited quantities (approximately 75 total, including 50 black and 20+ clear) during 1982. It was designed by brothers Al and Bob Gleeman and featured three DCOs for a stable and juicy analog sound. The Pentaphonic was designed to compete against such classics as; the Sequential Prophet-5, Moog Minimoog and Polymoog, and the Oberheim 4-Voice.

In addition to three oscillators per voice, the Pentaphonic has a four-pole lowpass resonant filter with an ADSR envelope, a VCA with ADSR, an LFO, and built-in chorusing (slow or fast). There is also a handy 300-note capacity sequencer on-board for simple real-time recordings that you can play along with. There's also a cool X/Y joystick for controlling pitch and mod effects. Some models, such as this one, also had a Presetter added which gave it 100 patch memories and eight digital waveforms."

TR-808 gets the post here vs. C.
"while 4/4 isn't generally released by us, this one escaped destruction. we happened to be recording when this "analog transmission" bounced around the studio inadvertently. while waiting to record a future release we flagged down the drink cart, toasted the invention of analogue, and let the machines pilot themselves for a moment. afterward we coaxed and prodded and this was the result. in it's entirety it's over 30 minutes. we edited it down to 5. it is, in the truest sense, an example of control voltages fluctuating, peaking and subsiding. the tr727,while not heard on this track, is the "tightest" machine we have to keep the antiquated midi clock semi controllable. for this project in the (almost finished) studio, everything gets recorded to multiple tracks in one pass. the timing is so loose, good luck capturing dubs that would match.

the gear heard on this recording is: korg ms-10, korg sq-10, roland tr808, moogerfoogers, ensoniq dp/4, memorymoog, akai ax 60, akai s612 samplers.

"Rare and Unique Digital Midi Synthesizer from 1988, Beautifully Circuit Bent & Modified in all the right places by Dave Squidfanny...

Awesome looking Synthesizer has new knobs, Buttons and Switches mounted on High Quality Thick Green PCB (Circuit Board), and adorned with shiney Metal pieces and round Metal washers for Wicked Glitch / Manga Look.......

Fantastic Looking METAL KEYS painted with expensive metallic Auto Paint and finnished with high quality Lacquor for a professional finnish. Keys are Painted in multiple shades of Metallic GREEN, BLUE & GOLD.

This Rare Gem from the 80's has a Warm and Pleasing Lo-fi sound generated by Digital 'WAVETABLE' Synthesis.. The result is an Ultra-Harmonic and very likable sound which is quite different from the usual Casio and Yamaha Keyboards.

Original Features include -
Warm, Pleasing Digital Instruments, Lush CHORD & Accompanyment.
Grainy Lo-Fi Drums with loads of preset patterns and Demo tunes.
Very Cool and useful CHORD Management features like the OMNICHORD
MIDI Output.
Simple Internal Sequencer with Tape Save Facility.
Auto Harmony, Sustain & Vibrato.

'Computer Aided Harmony' feature works by re-arranging the keyboard Scale according to which Chord is being played with the left hand. Dis-Harmonious notes are replaced with Harmonious notes, thus allowing an untrained musician to instantly create pleasing sounding music. Combine this feature with the Arsenal of Glitch Modifications for complex and dynamic new sounds previously un-imagined by conventional synthesizers.

'Computer Aided Harmony' Mode Also works when using the MIDI Output, making this machine a useful addition to any MIDI studio.

A Stunning array of powerful modifications open up a new world of Sonic capabilities for this vintage digital machine."

Modcan Super Delay & Digital Delay Comparison


YouTube via scootermccrae | Feb 27, 2011 |

"People have been wondering about the difference in sound between the Modcan 30B Super Delay (which is a true analog delay) and the Modcan 59B Digital Delay, so I set up a simple audio demonstration. It's not meant to be an analog vs. digital contest -- as you'll hear, both of them sound beautiful but have very different tonal characteristics as well as unique reactions to control voltage manipulation.

The Modcan Sequencer is triggering a Modcan 58B VCDO that is passing through a Modcan 68B Matrix Filter (using the 4-Pole Bandpass output). In the first half of the video, that signal is passing through the analog Super Delay -- which is a mono device. I twiddle the knobs throughout and then eventually let triangle waveforms from the Modcan 61B Quad LFO take over the invisible finger chores.

The second half of the video is the same sequence and signal chain passing through the Digital Delay, which has been engaged to output the audio in stereo mode. Again, after some manual twiddling I put the 61B Quad LFO to work once more and send a slow-moving triangle waveform into the control voltage inputs.

As may be apparent from the studio configuration, I do love the Modcan modules for their sound, aesthetic beauty and a user interface that squeezes myriad functions per module into a reasonably-sized space. I hope you find this a useful and entertaining video."

ZOe-258v 3 Operator Analog FM


YouTube via dkimcg | Feb 27, 2011 |

"Figured out a way to record video and audio at once, not the best quality, but saves me time processing and converting.

bottom of 258v FMs top of 258V which FMs the ZOe. The bottom output also FMs the 291e and the ZOe pulse out provides the PWM wave for the filter. FM index, and morph modulations from 281e processed through 256e, and a slewed pulse from the 250e. Patch looks more complicated than it is because of the cascading envelopes the 281e is setup for. The 258e is only a control oscillator, most the sound is coming from the ZOe and the 291e colors and resonates the ZOe square."

"This was a post I just read on the DOTCOM user group forum (not posted by me) thought it might be of interest to anyone who might fancy trying some modular stuff before taking the plunge. A really nice idea I thought.

Sean.

Dragonflymodular posted :-

'Just discovered an amazing concept in rough trade records in london...

They've installed a sound proof booth with a huge variety of modules - unfortunately all eurostyle so there's no dotcom or motm stuff.
But it's quite a unique selection - common brands through to some quite rare stuff.
They lock you in for free and let you do whatever you want!

I'm sure this is of interest to anyone here with or considering a modular. And they give free lessons every week...'"

Circuit Bent Quad " Crystal " NAND


YouTube via circuitbenda | Feb 27, 2011 |

via this auction
"A Unique Quad - NAND synth housed in a quality CRYSTAL clear hand held case

Technical
The synth has 4 independant audio oscillators, each one is patched to the next. Each oscillator is controlled by its own independant control on the side of the unit. The frequency range of each oscillator is very wide, and so a vast range of sound effects are easily created. In the design is a power filter across the supply, this gives a nice audio " glitch " when the push - button is released, as can be heard in the HD

The electronics are housed in a quality " CRYSTAL CLEAR " plastic case, and 3 Ultra-Brite LED's glow upon switch on. The LED colours are RED, WHITE and BLUE and they look really cool.

Since the case is clear, the LED's illuminate all the electronics inside the case, and this is great in dimly lit conditions Power is from a an external PP3 battery ( supplied ) and Power is actuated by a push button on the top of the unit.

Audio out is from a standard 1/4 " MONO jack socket on the side of the unit.

The synth is pocket sized and portable, and ideal for home , stage , and studio use, where that unique strange sci-fi sound effect is required.

When connected to a simple effects unit such as delay , etc. some truly wonderful effects are easily created."

RMI DK-20 Digital synthesizer


via this auction
"The DK-20 was introduced in the late 70's and took advantage of most advanced digital technology available at the time. The preset voices are great and have a late 70's early 80's digital/analog hybrid character to them. After you select your sound you can control the decay time, the curve, the final release then you can mix and modify the voice with a phaser and filters in the "Timbre" section of the control panel. The interface for doing this is unique and intuitive. The part I love most about the DK-20 is the sostenuto toe stud! It allows you to play a chord/note and sustain it indefinitely. After you have grabbed hold of those notes with the toe stud any other notes you play sustain as normal. The notes you sustain repeatedly cycle trough the phaser and filter section. You can get a real interesting cacophony going utilizing the phasers, filters, volume pedal, sustain pedal, separate outs, and the sostenuto toe stud."
