Yasi Perera loaned me a firmware card that had an early incarnation of the 259e twisted version. It came about following my response to his post asking folks preferred their waveshape functions. He noticed I liked the more noisier banks. Once I was used to the instrument, I was often wanting to have...

I think I recall reading somewhere Ezra writing that scanned data used for the waveshape transfer function table in 678 included areas of memory that held parameter settings of the twisted 259e version, which then I think that if being pointed to, would produce a table that, depending on the paramet...

thanks - a whole lot of EMS is there :)... I wonder if that bit of variation in filter type could actually be an interesting thing to toggle? Whether push pull or toggle switch, the filter slew mod is really nice as it allows the filter to be more responsive to audio rate fm, especially nice when u...

You can use jump or bend:
(jump (minor 1 )) - minor 1 incrementing by 1
(bend (corp 1 1 )) - corp advancing through sort of continuously. I think...
Bend is cool and weird and selects patches less distinctly, jump is nice as it steps through clearly.

previous location that I announced was incorrect, updating for Birmingham, this Saturday the 12th at 7:00 pm it is at a place called Parkside, 4036 5th Ave South 35222, Alabama.



On the 11th, they will still be at Barking Legs Theater in Chattanooga.

The un slew allows the filter to respond to higher rates of frequency modulation like the VCOs, which is especially nice when using it as extra oscillator.

I have always been attracted to this idea, if partially because recognizing my inabilities as musical performer, but also finding that the circuitry was much more interesting than any of my ideas anyway. To that end, I found non stage situations to be much more comfortable. My first was a patch play...

You might look at microwave sensors too, here's one:

I would also look at using installation grade amplifier and passive speakers, it may be easier to set up, and provide more speaker options. I have had good luck with Stewart amps:

The original 259e wave shaper functions generated tones that were mostly harmonically related save for aliasing, in theory I think. A few of the functions could produce some wilder things. The functions were some Chebyshevs on the green side, and some hand drains on the red, if I remember.. These fu...

I wonder if it might be possible to find someone with a Kyma system in the area for hire at an easy enough cost. Kyma does this kind of thing really well. Ideally, they could set the patch up for and see if you could run with an iPad. Maybe view the Kyma as a surround mixer with you sending what sou...

Probably old news to many, but I was reminded how amazingly cool code bending can be after spending a few hours at rhizome.org Here's some fun stuff: yearoftheglitch.tumblr.com glitch-hop.tumblr.com glitchgifs.tumblr.com compressionerrors.tumblr.com And a really excellent entry into the process if y...

The Olympus LS20M might be something to look at, it has a nice low cost.

By the way, this I learned by way of very excellent eu-gene list,

Robin indicated plans for VCS3 production to begin this summer. Other things such as the DK keyboard, pitch to voltage, random generator, phase frequency shifter, and the fixed filter bank are being planned, . Thanks Don. Good news about the VCS3! Re the "phase frequency shifter" - I've never quite...

Don H. Nice track/s I remember Robin telling me that after A's/VCS3's were finished he was going to unveil a new portable synth design. But that was several years ago. so nice to see more of the A's hit the streets. Oh, thanks! He has mentioned the idea of an expanded Synthi, which could be very in...

If someone in the UK could make that phone call for updates, we'd all love to know how things are progressing so that we can have some real information and stop obsessively speculating. Or at least turn our obsessive speculations to other details. :) I think it is becoming evident that Synthi produ...

very nice Don. When do we get to hear both together? Now, I guess? http://soundcloud.com/don-hassler/sets/a-fine-pair-of-synthis Have you got two Synthis ,a old and a newer?Did you notice some sound differences? Yes, yes, and maybe just a little. I think I found the new to be cleaner, it is clearly...

The filter only has the unslew mod, there is also the attack time increase, one of the mic inputs has been repurposed to an external gate input, and last, the matrix arrangement is an mk 1, which I don't know if it is a regularly offered change, I don't recall it being listed.

It is new, arrived last week. I do not know my list number, never asked. I think I've been on that list since 2001, or earlier, I don't recall actually.

I'm very sorry to hear this. Richard in addition to being a really outstanding musician, was also an extremely warm, helpful, and down to earth person. Like so many others, I will be missing his presence.

I believe that was Ivan Tcherepnin's, and I'm guessing he or his family gave it to Harvard. Another photo:
