Florian Schneider's Roland System 700

"The unit up for action was formerly owned by electronic music legend Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk (proof available). It has recently been fully calibrated, restored, and cleaned by analog synthesizer specialist Sebastian Niessen (SND)." Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction. Via Moogulator.

Details of auction saved for posterity:
They don't come any nicer or more prestigious:
You are bidding for Roland System 700 Main Unit. The System 700 was Roland's flagship synthesizer in the late 70s and early 80s and is probably the most elaborate modular synthesizer ever made.

The unit up for action was formerly owned by electronic music legend Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk (proof available). It has recently been fully calibrated, restored, and cleaned by analog synthesizer specialist Sebastian Niessen (SND).
All modules are in pristine, near perfect condition and fully original (no modifications). The case and its tolex is also in very good condition (no cuts, only a few very minor scratches).
The red and white toggle switch caps have been removed for purely aesthetic reasons, as has the red envelope trigger button, which was replaced by a black one. The original parts are included and can easily be put back into place.
The system's configuration is fully original and contains the following modules (some of which are grouped together):
3 voltage controlled oscillators (full range)
2 voltage controlled oscillators (low frequency)
1 clock oscillator
1 reference oscillator
1 noise generator

1 voltage controlled low-pass filter (24dB/octave, voltage controllable resonance)
1 voltage controlled multimode filter (12dB/octave, low-, band, and high-pass)

2 voltage controlled amplifiers (for insiders: the good ones using the BA662 chip, not the CA3080)
1 ring modulator

1 voltage controlled phaser w. lfo
1 spring reverb

1 3-channel stereo output-mixer
1 3-channel audio/cv-mixer w. bipolar outputs

1 preamplifier
1 envelope follower
1 lag processor
1 sample & hold
2 multiple jacks

The unit's power supply is currently set to 240 volts. It can internally be switched to 100, 115, 220, and 240 volts. Serial number is 090173. For more information check vintagesynth.com/roland/sys700.shtml.


Shipment worldwide, please ask me for shipment fee BEFORE bidding. Shipping and insurance is not included in the price.

This is a private auction. There´s no warranty and I won´t take it back again! Happy bidding!

AHNE 2006 Shots

Title link takes you to some pics via Steve from this year's AHNE.

You are looking at a shot of some homebrew drums. Click for a bigger image. Absolutely gorgeous work.

Via this post on the-gas-station.

Update: The following are notes via Steve on AH. I thought the Buchla 200e comment was kind of funny.

" Highlights for me..
-Getting a sound out of the 200e
-Using the spectacular JKJ CV3 MIDI/CV to finally let my P3 and modular play together. : )
-Seeing some amazing DIY work. circuits, panels, cabinets.. bravo guys!
-20 solid minutes of EMS AKS patching/tweaking. Now I serioulsly want one of these!
---Wish I could have patched the Serge a bit!! aargh, maybe next year."

The Breadboard Band

Another via Brian Comnes. "The Breadboard Band is a performing band that uses breadboards made of freely constructed electronic circuits to play music. We produce audio and visual expression through the most minimal, fundamental elements in the form of showing the electronic components of an instrument while directly touching and forming the electronic circuit by hand."

Siel DK600

Just a shot of the Siel DK600 sent my way via Brian Comnes. I always wanted one of these for some reason. Brian also pulled the following from the sale details. "The DK-600 is Siel's unique Italian take on the mid-eighties programmable polysynth with MIDI implementation (badged as the Opera-6 in the UK). Just like the Juno-106 and Poly-61 of the time, the Siel is a 6 voice synthesizer with straight forward programming, simple effects and digitally controlled analog oscillators (DCO's). However, the Siel, having dual oscillators per voice sounds thicker than the Juno or Matrix because it's got 12 oscillators! And because they're DCO's, you know they'll always remain stable and in-tune even though they are analog in nature.

The DK-600 has many other nice features such as complete MIDI implementation. There are 3 LFO's for extreme modulation. Both the filter and amplifier have standard ADSR envelope sections. And like similar synths, all the sliders and buttons are intuitively placed on the front panel for hands-on real-time programming."

Sounds thicker because it has 12 oscillators? Um... Yeah... It's still only two per voice. The Matrix also has 12, two per voice, and the 106 has a sub osc, although you can't detune the sub osc.

Pro One Modifications

Title link takes you to more details, pics, and samples. Do listen to the samples. That Sample and Hold one is absolutely sick.

"Modification Summary:

Replaced the white noise source with a new circuit that provides white, pink, red, and infra-red noise. A rotary switch selects the noise colour.
The new noise source can act as a modulation source in addition to its role as an audio signal. A pot sets the noise level fed to the buses. A rotary switch selects whether the noise signal feeds the Direct or Wheel modulation buses.
Added a Sample & Hold circuit. The new noise source is the signal input to the Sample & Hold. The LFO square wave is the clock. The Sample & Hold output can be used as a modulation source.
The pulse width of the LFO signal can be adjusted from 0% to 100% with a pot.
The LFO signal can be inverted. A rotary switch selects LFO non-inverted, LFO inverted, or Sample & Hold as a modulation source.
Added a triangle wave for oscillator A. A pot allows manually mixing between the triangle and sawtooth waves.
Filter resonance can now be used as a modulation destination. A rotary switch selects from either the Direct or Wheel modulation buses as a source.
The filter envelope can be inverted. Inverted and non-inverted envelopes can be applied to filter frequency and the Direct or Wheel modulation buses via two slide switches.
The filter frequency signal from the Kenton MIDI interface can be assigned to the Direct modulation bus. A pot sets the signal level fed to the bus."

MEK Arpeggiator

Interesting. According to this post on VSE the manual for the MEK includes a section on an Arpeggiator. The PEK and Evolver do not have this.

"Arpeggiator

As a last-minute addition, a simple arpeggiator was included as a hidden function. As
a hidden function, the operation is a little less than obvious, but the assumption is that
it’s nice to have anyway.

Note: The Arpeggiator settings are not saved as part of the Program.

Basic operation is simple: while holding the RESET switch, simply hit the Sequencer 1
switch for an Up direction arpeggio, Sequencer 2 for Down, 3 for Up/Down, and 4 for
Assign, which remembers the order the keys are held. The sequencer switch LED
will blink indicating which mode is currently selected.

Note: You can change modes at any time while playing, or while the keys are
latched.

The Sequencer clock determines the speed, which means it also takes into account
the Clock Divide value. This gives a very wide range of speed, and also enables
swing timing on the arpeggio. And, it can sync to MIDI.
To latch an arpeggio, simple hit the WRITE switch, and the notes will be held when
you remove your fingers from the keyboard. If you then hit another key, it will also be
latched. Hit the WRITE switch again to un-latch.

Note: You can hit the WRITE switch with no keys held, and then just start hitting
the keys you want in the arpeggio, and they will be latched.

Hit the RESET switch to clear the latched notes.

Note: You can only have any specific key played one time in the arpeggio; ie if
you are latching keys, and hit the same note twice, it will only latch the most
recent hit.

To stop the Arpeggiator, simply hit the START/STOP switch."

New Waldorf Products to be Announced Winter NAMM 2007

Click here for a Google translated interview of Joachim Flor of Waldorf. Replace "Whale Village" with "Waldorf" when you get there. : ) Here's a link to the original in German. This one sent my way via Dr. Georg Müller.

"AMAZONA.de:
What might we expect from the new Waldorf?

JOACHIM FLOR:
Of course there will be new Waldorf products... the future developments will be characterised by innovation, unmistakable sound, optimal ergonomics, excellent design, user friendliness and all that the name Waldorf stood for, stands and will continue to stand. But we'll let you be surprised. Our first goal is the winters NAMM 2007 in Anaheim!"

I can't wait. Something tells me Winter NAMM 2007 will be the most hyped NAMM in a long, long time. : ) Thanks for sending this one in Georg!

Update via Mr. Array in the comments:

"Wheee!

Here is another message, this time from Stefan Stenzel where he more or less confirms that there will be paid OS updates for legacy Waldorf products:

"Since we are not a legal successor of the preceeding waldorf companies,
we cannot provide further upgrades for free. However, rest assured that
the price we will charge for future upgrades will be reasonable."

What Makes a Moog Punch

"Looking at the Minimoog's amplitude envelope (Fig. 1) reveals that even with the sustain set to minimum, there's about 20-30 milliseconds where the sound stays at maximum level before the decay begins. There is no way to eliminate this short period of full volume sustain; it's part of the Minimoog's characteristic sound. It's also what happens to percussive sounds when you clip, limit, or compress them."

CDM Site Issues

If you've notice problems getting to Create Digital Music, here's why.

"Due to avoidable circumstances with Create Digital Music's web host,
1and1.com, CDM is currently inaccessible (and has been since about
11:30am yesterday, Eastern time). We are moving the site to an
upgraded server to restore service immediately, and will take measures
to make sure this doesn't happen again. Thanks for your patience."

The unofficial line: 1+1 screwed me over and took my site hostage,
moving it without warning to an "auxilliary server" that they knew
wouldn't handle the load so they could ransom out a more expensive
dedicated server account, even though my server logs suggest I was
using a fraction of my available bandwidth and there was no major
traffic spike yesterday.

I'm working now on rescuing the site, but that's the situation. You
can bet once my site is safely off 1+1's server, I'll have a thing or
two to say about webhosts; for now, I have to keep silent.

Mark Pulver's Time - The Olde Days

Click here for a 7.25M mp3 Mark Pulver sent to AH. Below are the notes on the track also sent to the list after quite a few people asked. I asked Mark if I could put this up and he say yes. It's a fascinating piece. Thanks Mark!

"The track was done in 1979 (possibly early 1980) and is called "Time". The setup was the SIUC (Southern Illinois University - Carbondale) music lab - which is sadly no longer there.

The lab was "cool" in the sense of what a lot of us olde tymers here would consider cool. Homebrew quad system, _PLATE_ reverb, modified Hammond tank reverb, upright piano with the back torn off for access to the harp ("prepared piano" for you olde folkes), an AKS, a bunch of tape decks, microphones, patch panels and... a nicely outfitted Moog modular. It was a System 55 with an extra top cabinet, two voice keyboard and a ribbon.

ahhh... my first love. :)

When I showed up, I brought along my (then brand new!) Rev 2 P5 and a MXR digital delay. The MXR was the first digital piece in the lab. :)

Anyway.. "Time" is around 25 tracks of stuff... noises, pads, pans, textures, etc. About 80% of what you hear as polyphonic is - it's the P5. The other 20% is multitracking from the Moog, or a single big honkin' multi-oscillator/multi-output patch.

"highlights" (ewww!) might include the constant atmosphere that's walking around left & right sides. That's the Moog driven by the 960. A killer combo that I DEARLY miss - the aural effect of the sequence changing is actually just from starting/stopping/triggering the 960 at different points or with different filter accents, speeds, etc. It's the same sequence.

There are a couple of big poly slides into oblivion - that's an old trick on the P5 (set unison, set glide, hold a note, kill unison, hit a chord - I think that's how it worked).

The ambience is generally the hacked Hammond tank, though the MXR is in there as well, usually _after_ the tank so that you get the smear.

Compression is courtesy of analog tape. The levels were pretty hot during some of the "tracks"... saturation is king. Digital today can't really touch something like this.

The piece used to be longer - about 11 minutes. I dunno that I still have that version. The front end was a bunch of babble over noises... nothing really exciting.

-------- start of typing while listening

The "Pink Floyd" sounding leads are all P5... The chordal undertone is P5. The airyness is courtesy of the Moog's fixed filter - VERY underutilized module. The "noise sparkling" that flutters around on top of the ping-pong sequence is P5.

If you can't tell, there was no "composition" to the piece. It's all vamping. I don't really remember where I started - if I had to guess it would be the P5 poly work... that was what I was into during that time.

The rushing and noise swirls to the end are both the Moog and P5. If it sounds deep and "OMG!" that's the Moog. That ringing tone is all Moog.

One thing about the bouncing around at the end and at a couple of spots in the middle... If you listen to it on speakers, and put yourself in the point of an equilateral triangle (based on the distance between the speakers) then you should be able to pick out a hidden 3rd channel. Along this time I was doing some work with burying a track by flipping it's phase across the L & R channels. if the L/R level is the same, and if you're at the point, then the track disappears. Move your head a bit and it'll show up.

Yes, this has been done a lot, but remember - this was 1979. :)

Anyway.. It's nothing big, but it's in there. I have NO idea how compressing this into MP3 would whack this around.


Oh! Love the tape noise at the end? There're a LOT of bounces in here with no noise reduction.

---- end of typing while listening ----


I think that's about it. Basically, the gear was minimal, it was just the right gear for the track - and the time. Putting this to tape helped a LOT, there's no way it would sound this "warm" (oh Gawd, not THAT word!) today.


fwiw, and I've said this before, THIS marks the time in my head that I'd love to get back to musically. I've never had more fun or been more satisfied than during this time.

... but, I've never been able to find it again. sigh.


Thanks for listening - and thanks for the comments!"

Freeez Keytar Action

Some keytar action for you. Title link takes you there.

And then there is this. No synth connection other other than a song of the same name with a lead singer that looks a lot like David Lee Roth. BTW, I always mixed these two songs up. At one point I actually questioned if they were the same song, just redone from the "David Lee Roth" version to the Freeze version. I never bothered to look them up, becaue I really didn't care other than the "hey, I thought I heard this before and it sounded different." But now I know. Odd that one of my life's little bizarre and forgotten mysteries is rediscovered and answered on a synth forum. I actually had that little moment of clarity, "ah.. so that's what it was..."

"BD: What is your take on analog nostalgia and the resurgence of homebrew synths? People are taking the SID chips out of Commodore 64 computers and wreaking havoc; Products like the SID Station, TB303 cloning, x0xb0x, countless others...


TMDR: Yeah, I mean, I'm all for it, you know, I think it's fantastic the level to which electronic music has really sort of permeated. When I started out in the late 70s there were only really a handful of us doing it. There was myself and Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, and a few other people. Synthesizers were still something of a rarity. And my generation were inspired by the ones that went before us; the Fripps and the Enos of the world and Kraftwerk, obviously, people like that. But we were developing this stuff in parallel to punk rock and punk of course stole the headlines. It was only really in the 80's when bands like The Human League and New Order and Depeche Mode starting having bonafide chart hits that the electronic music movement really sort of went mainstream. And then the prices started to come down, you saw personal computers getting in there, and suddenly my $120,000 Fairlight was looking like a useless antique. "

Selling Moog in Taco Bell

"[I]n music stores throughout the country, young kids bought the Minimoog because of a former evangelist David van Koevering, whom [Robert] Moog had enlisted to sell the new product.

Like a traveling medicine show, Van Koevering moved thousands of Minimoogs by using innovative marketing techniques. In Florida, he hooked up with Taco Bell, handing out free coupons to the restaurant, and then showing up later in the evening to play to diners. He promoted the "Island of Electronicus," an artificial land mass connected by a causeway to the Florida coast, where a Moog concert was scheduled. The radio ads announced, "Where is the Moog synthesizer? It's here now ... to stimulate your feelings, thought, and your love for your fellow man."
