This is dangerous. open up your head for the Rockets and Volcas in the skies? This one is Open Source and therefore meant to be changed – the term here is „hackable“ and means – you can check it out, how does it work? you can check everything including inerds. it’s completely yours and if you are a nerd you can change it or built your own bent anode-successor-something.. it’s simple and I guess I don’t have to say so much about what’s inside – one OSC with PWM AD-Envelope…

23.11.2013 – Elektron Analog Keys – released (key’ed version of Analog Four)

moogulator, 1 Comment

UPDATE: Keyboard Version of Analog Four is out – Analog Keys (via CDM/Peter Kirn’s wonderful blog!) not so different from the Analog Four Groovebox but it has Keys, a small Joystick – so it is basically comparable to other analog synths but with 4 voices, it might fill some space since polyphonic analog synths are quire rare.. and it is 3 Octaves (which I love and prefer over 2 octaves) until now the Analog Four has not been polyphonic but 4x monophonic – one synth per track. this seems to…

film tip: ELEKTRO MOSKVA – Synths and Music &.. KGB

moogulator, , ,

this film is about the early russian elektronic music, the instruments and everything that you might think of russia as a country, as a system of that time that influenced all this – possibly more than here in the 2 germanies at that time? an ultravivid scene derived from Theremin, Polivoks and Junost Synths in between of vodka bottles, Moskwitsh and spoons.  – looks like a film to love because it is different, so this is another planet, world and … it’s elektro!! buy one of those synths at some…
