Klaus Schulze Has Passed Away

Klaus Schulze passed away yesterday at the age of 74.

via Discogs

"Born August 4th 1947 in Berlin, died April 26th 2022, was a german electronic pioneer, composer and musician. Schulze initially made his mark as a drummer, first with the group Psy Free, later with Tangerine Dream (he played on their first album "Electronic Meditation" before he quit) and Ash Ra Tempel (with Manuel Göttsching). In 1971 Schulze started a solo career as an electronic musician and released a couple of heavily experimental albums, 'Irrlicht' and 'Cyborg'. 1973's 'Cyborg' was the first release where he used a 'real' synthesizer, the legendary VCS 3 and later in the 70's he would record albums such as 'Moondawn', 'Mirage' and 'X' and embark on several tours, documented across a number of live albums.

In 1978 he set up the label Innovative Communication and the following year he also launched the pseudonym/project Richard Wahnfried. In the 1980's Schulze continued his hectic release schedule as well as recording several soundtracks and rebuilding his studio (he "went digital" in 1986). In summer 1983 Klaus Schulze 'sold' Innovative Communication.

In the 1990's Schulze recorded several electronic interpretations of works by classical composers (most notably Wagner) as well as collaborating with opera singers and other classical music performers on his own albums. He also started collaborating with German ambient/techno artist Pete Namlook in the series 'The Dark Side Of The Moog' on the latter's Fax label, and steered the Wahnfried project into a more modern techno- and trance-inspired direction.

Schulze '...passed away on April 26, 2022 at the age of 74 after a long disease but all of a sudden'. - statement from his social media pages."

You can find numerous posts mentioning Klaus Schulze over the years here. Below are a few better known performances featuring his work from early on to a more recent performance with Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard.

It has a very spooky/strange sound - very old and mellotron like and also strangely medieval - really recalls sounds on Walter/Wendy Carlos 'switched on Bach' albums. It also reminds me a lot when you play long chords of the synths on Eno's album 'Before and After Science'".

"Incredibly rare 1970's analogue synthesizer - the Crumar Brassman as used on legendary synth album 'Time Wind" by KLAUS SCHULZE.

First of two ebay demonstrations for the sale of this synth.

This is an incredibly fat sounding synthesizer ---with an enormous bottom end. Reminds me a lot of the Moog opus --- but just bigger!

It has a very spooky/strange sound - very old and mellotron like and also strangely medieval - really recalls sounds on Walter/Wendy Carlos 'switched on Bach' albums.

First demo I have plated into logic and added a little onboard phaser and delay.

Second demo - straight into logic with no fx.

Put this through a SmallStone Electro Harmnix phaser and you have all the classic solina/logan string synth type sounds ---but you also have that crazy huge bottom end - maybe because the designers have tuned it to create those brass like bass sounds .

Unusually for string synthesizer type keyboards this has a VCF votage controlled filter - with control of low pass filter and high pass filter and envelope of that filter. Labelled as ....attack/decay/emphasis/contour ... you can go very fat or very squelchy.

2 oscillators - labelled 16' and 8' ---which you can mix to differnet levels - or use seperately.

Has a very nice vibrato also with delay.

There are also quite a few other butons labelled
sax
glide
rag
delay attack
trombone muted 1 & 2
trumpet muted 1 & 2
horn muted 1 & 2

---these activate different elements of the filter and envelope.

Expanded Klaus Schulze Edition Black Quasimidi 309 GROOVE-X RAVE-O-LUTION

Published on May 8, 2013 MarkJenkinsMusic·27 videos



via this auction

"This is my rare QUASIMIDI 309-Groove-X rare KLAUS SCHULZE LIMITED EDITION now for sale in London.

It's a special version of the Rave-O-Lution 309 with a black finish, Klaus Schulze signature, special patterns, and two expansion sound memories on board.

The 309 is basically a Roland TR808/909 style drum machine plus a TB303 style bassline synth and sequencer, with dozens of drum, percussion and synth sounds to choose from, four audio outputs, two audio input, built-in effects and MIDI.

As such it's great for dance and DJ composers, and in this version particularly good for synth/sequencer composers too. There are patterns onboard which sound like entire Klaus Schulze techno albums alone.

The bass drum, snare and hi-hat sounds can be chosen from a whole bank of samples and have pitch and decay altered. There's a 12-note polyphonic bank of percussion sounds which include a lot of synth and string hits so make the instrument sound more like a polyphonic synth. The mono lead/bass synth of course has variable lowpass filter with resonance, and there's an overall Overblast overdrive as well as delay, flanger, reverb and other effects.

Patterns can be composed and chained into Songs and dumped via MIDI.

This 309 is in very good condition and includes rack ears and original power supply. There's a slight bend in the top left of the panel which isn't noticeable when rackmounted. Occasionally it's a little eccentric - some buttons sometimes need a firmer press than others and the display which usually flicks back to Tempo when it's not doing anything else sometimes stays on the last parameter you've edited. Nothing major though.

I'd like this to be collected in London (UK) and paid in cash. I will ship to the UK and to the USA, Germany and the rest of Europe, but you'll have to arrange payment by bank transfer or some other reliable method as I don't use PayPal.

NAMM 2015 - Moog Modular Re-issue NAMM Floor Demo Video

Published on Jan 21, 2015 sonicstate

Sound on Sound's Gordon Reid shows Sonic State's Nick Batt the new Moog Modular system at NAMM 2015 with Keith Emmerson smiling on.  Bob Moog, Brian Eno, Klaus Schulze and Herb Deutsch are featured in the background pics as well.

Update: I originally thought Klause Schulze was Jean-Jacques Perrey. Thanks goes to Qwave for the correction in the comments.  Herb Deutsch also added to the list.

"It is Klaus Schulze (with a special steel worker helmet) in the very beginning of the video behind Nick. The picture was taken during the Stahl Symphonie ("Steel Symphony") at the Ars Electronica festival in Linz (Austria) on the 8th September 1980."

"And at 20:24 you see Bob Moog with Herb Deutsch on the left picture in the back. And it is Eberhard Schoener (german musician, composer, conductor, and arranger) on the right picture. He got the a III P Moog Modular system as one of the very first musicians in Germany. Btw: in the next bavarian village used to live Florian Fricke (Popul Vuh), who also got a Moog Modular III P with the sequencer complement B very early. And Mr. Fricke sold his Modular to Klaus Schulze on the 22nd of December 1975. I think you will now see why I did the little detour about Florian Fricke."

Klaus Schulze: A tribute to his music and legacy

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We play tribute to electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze, who passed away on April 26, 2022.

Schulze was known for his early work with Tangerine Dream, the krautrock band Ash Ra Tempel, and especially his electronic music solo work as part of the so-called Berlin School in the 1970s. He used a wide array of analog synthesizers during this period, but in the ensuing decades he embraced new technologies, including MIDI, computers for music, virtual instruments, and more. He also explored various styles and techniques in his later music.

His final album, Deus Arrakis, will be released in June of 2022."

'Für Klaus' - Tribute to Klaus Schulze, a Eurorack Modular Performance #eurorack #synth #ajhsynth

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"On this channel Sunday 8th @7pm GMT - a 13-minute track recorded as a single-take performance, and a purpose-made tribute/dedication to the late Klaus Schulze. The piece is inspired by his music directly, creating some sounds akin to those he used in the late 1970's, even including one of his sequences. Much of it was composed and rehearsed, whilst some of it was improvised, but I suspect much less so than Schulze's works, which were often much longer, involving more improvisation and more instruments. This piece consists of just three voices across 4 audio tracks/channels, altered or converted in real-time during the performance to achieve different sounds.

As a creator of electronic music, Schulze was one of the most significant influences for me (the video creator). His music, his attitude towards it in the interviews I read of his, and the way he worked alone to create dense, fascinating, complete musical performances and soundscapes, at a time when the technology was in it's infancy, and before later technologies such as complex computer sequencing, sound creation, processing and mixing were available. As a solitary musician, his was a great, empowering example. His bravery to improvise, experiment, and co-exist with imperfections, embracing them rather than fearing them, makes me warm to the artist and the music even more. Schulze used, among others, an early Minimoog (leads) and a large Moog modular system, which he customised with additional modules over the following years. Since the core AJH MiniMod system is directly based on the early, more desirable R.A.Moog version of the Minimoog, yet is entirely modular, it makes a great choice for this homage to one of electronic music's greatest pioneers.

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.

Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

'Sonic X-Voice' - Human Vocal Patch from our Klaus Schulze Tribute video with Sonic XV Eurorack VCF

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This Patch of The Week shows how the vocal sound was created that featured in the Klaus Schulze tribute video. It uses the Sonic XV Diode Transistor Ladder Filter for both it's band pass filter, and it's built-in wave folder. Patch sheet at the end of video, plus a download link for a PDF version with notes further down the page. Musical Tribute to Klaus Schulze: https://youtu.be/VA-Io4jVKbA

The Sonic XV is a surprisingly flexible multimode VCF - it can do the kind of aggressive, screaming resonance chaos that you'd expect from some of the famous diode filter-wielding synths of the past, but it's also particularly good at softer, delicate sounds, and having a well-featured wave folder on board gives it a much wider scope for tone-shaping. This, coupled with it's fast response, and simultaneous band pass, 6dB and 24dB low pass outputs, makes it a great choice for fast melodic sequences and percussion sounds. It's character is significantly different than that of the Minimoog-based Transistor Ladder Filter, and compliments it nicely, even if only used for it's wave folder to feed other VCF's.

Patch sheet with notes: https://kvisit.com/8AE/x_8G

Patch notes:
--------------------
Green dots show approximate pot and switch positions. Pots and switches that do not have green dots are not used in this patch, and should be left at their zero or off positions.
DH-ADSR: As we are using the inverted output here, it will constantly be sending a +8V signal to the LIN-CV of the VCO (therefore raising it's frequency/pitch) until it receives a gate signal, at which point it will follow the envelope settings, starting from an output of 0V. This is why the VCO will need re-tuning to match other instruments used, but preferably after you are happy with the amount of envelope to pitch influence you have dialled in. Dual LFO: The Tap Tempo VC-LFO module could also be used here in the same way, as it also has a built-in VCA (level control). Sonic XV: Small differences in wave folder settings can make a big difference to the sound, so it'll probably require some fine-tweaking to get the ideal timbre. I have added some resonance in this version, as it can help to simulate the tone of a human voice, but this is of course subjective - all voices are different. Band pass is definitely the best filter type to use, as it can remove both high and low frequencies that would be beyond those produced by a human voice. Modules used from left to right: DH-ADSR Envelope, Dual LFO + VCA, Vintage Transistor Core VCO, Sonic XV Diode Filter, Contour Generators, Discrete Cascaded VCA."
