ConBrio ADS200 lightshow

ConBrio ADS200 lightshow II

YouTubes via bdufdiskc. via Brandon Daniel in the comments of this post.

"Control panel lightshow on a ConBrio ADS200 digital FM/Additive synthesizer, taken at the 10th Vintage Computer Festival" Listen closely and you will hear that it has 64 notes of polyphony with 16 oscillators per note. This means you could have up to 1024 oscillators at once back in 1978 or shortly after. :)

For those that want real audio, word from an anonymous reader is that it is not 100% yet, so there was no audio actually coming from the synth - just recordings playing in the background.

Update via Devo in the comments:
"Just wanted to clarify... The sound that was heard of the Con Brio at the VCFX this weekend WAS indeed coming from the synth itself. It is true that the synth isn't 100% functional (yet), but the parts that need to be made "whole" still, are the connection from the keyboards to the "brain" (mostly), which will be sorted out soon, hopefully. The sounds that were heard consisted of existing sequences on the original 8" floppys, coupled with existing sound-patches from the same orig. disks (of which, the OS is derived). BTW: the Con Brio sounds as good (or, dare I say, BETTER) than it looks. Awesome! I hope this info helps. Much kudos to all (past and present) involved! "

Modular Acid

YouTube Published on Jul 7, 2012 by bdufdiskc

"909 sets the drums, OSC303x2 + STG .COM into AMSynths JP8 filter into Blue Lantern ninja VCA, controlled by a bunch of other stuff for sequencing and modulation (154/155, MakeNoise PP+Brains, 4MS PEG, Topobrillo Quantimator, TipTop Z3k, etc). Mmmm, acid."

Oscope with modular soundtrack

YouTube via bdufdiskc.
"Everything you hear is being generated by the modular, including the clock timing and the waveform on the scope.

It's also a pretty good demo of what the Analogue Systems delay can do, as much of what you're hearing is a single snare hit into the delay whose time is being modulated by the doepfer sequencer.

Longer, higher quality mp3 of the sound you hear is here:

BlockSeq

YouTube via bdufdiskc
"Acquired a Livid Block controller... first step, get button/LED addressing working in Plogue Bidule. From there it was a minor thing to attach it to a sequencing engine I'd made previously. It was a bit of new work to make the columns illuminate as the sequencer scrolls, though."

My midi tama ts306

"This is an old tama ts306 drum synth brain. Originally intended for use with a set of electronic drum triggers, it had no midi, only trigger inputs. Thanks to the wonder of modern DIY electronic kits (thanks Paul Maddox and Laurie Biddulph!) I have installed a midi conversion kit. This is me playing it from my Korg electribe ER1. Also, some extra squawks from a bird we were birdsitting at the time."
