Studiostuff Moog The Source
More studio gearfraknes we got a real paragon of analog synthesis
the mighty MOOG THE SOURCE from 1981 (Yes it sais THE before Source).
The first moog synthesizer without knobs for every function, instead it uses
a really cool dail that just feels sooo good to turn (its weight and rotation feels chique and professional)
You select the synthesizer function with these cool futuristic tip touch buttons
all this analog moogness is computer controlled by the thrustworthy Zilog Z80 processor
If you can't handle that cause you want knobs for inituitivity and "tweaking" then you are just a
lazy wanker for reall!!! This thing just sounds like how an old moog should sound
juicy thick tearjearking round warm outthere on all frequencies!
Extra cool is that it has a sequencer and an obscure arpeggiator that works
sort of different then the usual arpeggiator: You just play some notes and if
you hit the first note you played it starts looping those notes, so its basicly
more a stepsequencer I guess.
Apart from the arpeggiator and 2 pattern sequencer there are some more obscure
performance controls like sample & Hold for pitch and filter (which plays random notes
or randomly changes the cut off frequency) and an auto trigger function that just repeats
the notes in the speed of the LFO. Owyeah I almost forgot to tell that it has 16 memory
slots for patches too...that was a pretty big deal back in 1981
here's a little multitrack jam demo random noodling and solo'ing all pure Moog The Source
with some extra delay for your pleasure:

Enter the Korg Poly 61
Its studio gearfreak time again...this time we obtained a Korg Poly 61
an extremely cheap and spartan analogue poly synthesizer from 1982
Its very simple: 2 oscillators, 1 Filter, 1 Envelope, 1 LFO and even those have very sparse
Parameter ranges (some stuff like resonance only 7 steps, keyboard tracking only on or off!)
but despite that its got a very nice saturated "VHS videotape" sound
from wobbly futtering fattness to fast envelope snappyness this is pure no-nonsense analogue power!
There is also an arpeggiator, a chord memory and the cool Korg analogue Joystick
(this one has the springs removed so it stays in place after you moved it: This basicly gives you a second LFO!)
Other cool stuff: Red and Green L.E.D display, Blue Grey wooden case
Some sites like vintage synth compare it to the DX7, I have absolute no clue why cause
this thing isn't even remotely close anywhere to that synthesizer..they just a bunch of
amateurs probably still listening to chemical beats or some other wack late 90s music style.
anyways...
Check out this little multitracked demo mp3 of pure Poly 61 sounds:
(with some extra delay from the mixer)

Studiostuff Casio MT-70
Some more synthesizer studio talk this week with the Japanese Casio MT-70 keyboard from 1984
We got this one last week from the internet classifieds for next to nothing...not sure how it was
going to sound we just went for its cool looks. Apparently it used to come with a barcode reading
pen with which you could scan music books from Casio and load up the internal MT70 sequencer
with the usual WHAM and Christmas carols. I am glad we were spared this ordeal by the absence
of this pen. Soundwise it does some cool haunting organ sounds and all other sounds (apart from
the harp/celeste preset or whatever) sound like this organ sound. Probably using some early
digital additive sinewave synthesis sounding a bit like a really ghetto CZ-synth series.
The coolest thing is the built in analog drummachine with some crisp pure old skool beatbox magic!
Furthermore there is a one note-a-time step sequencer, A pretty useless arpeggiator, some really
crap autochord accompaniment, sustain and vibrato effects. The drums are really coolest the part!
Here is a little demo I made...everything is the MT-70 except the duhhh dihhh dahhh vocal sample:
and here is a zip with samples from the MT-70 drums

Studiostuff Korg Poly 800 MKII
We would like to say hello to our newest studio acquisition: The Korg Poly 800 MKII
Pure lo-fi analog dripping 24dB resonant filter woolyness!
This is a sort of updated version of the classic poly 800 synthesizer, which we used to
have in the studio but it got sold some time ago. The MK2 version has some differences:
It is black instead of grey, Its got a littlebit better MIDI (not much tho), more sequencer
memory, some say it has a different filter and faster envelopes (I dunno about that) but
the main difference is that the chorus has been replaced by a really weird digital delay.
Now this is super cool because delay makes everything expand into the realm of dimensional
existence...the sound becomes more alive travelling in space and time. Especially with this
super ghetto digital delay we got here! Sporting its own LFO to modulate the delay time
making for some very spaced out freakness! Check out this song all 100% multitrack Poly800mk2!
