'I read on the internet once that you got inspired to build the first Emulator after having seen the Australian Fairlight CMI at the AES show in 1980. I also want to build a lot of stuff that I see – but I always fail miserably and can’t even get my head around it. I obviously know that you build modular synthesizers and that you created the technology for keyboards for other companies like Sequential Circuits Inc. And Oberheim Electronics.
What made you so sure you could do a sampler? Had you been experimenting with digital circuitry and RAM based technology prior to this? Did you buy a Fairlight sampler to look at when developing the Emulator – or did you do it differently – from scratch?
To understand fully, you need some background: the situation in May 1980 was that we returned from AES to find that Sequential Circuits was refusing to pay the royalties they had promised, and that we had counted on to fund the marketing of the Audity - which we introduced at the show. We needed a product soon. Scott Wedge, Marco Alpert and Ed Rudnick had been talking on the drive back from the show, and thought that the Fairlight had one and only one good feature - sampling. We had also seen a Publison Digital Delay that had a capture mode, and the captured (sampled) sound could be played with a control voltage/gate type synthesizer keyboard. The guys came to me with their ideas, and we had the need for a new MI product quickly to replace the lost Sequential revenue stream.
E-mu was the first company to use a microprocessor in an MI product - our 4060 polyphonic keyboard and digital sequencer, introduced in 1976. We'd done all sorts of stuff with microprocessors - the Audity had a full blown real-time operating system I'd written. We'd built our own Z-80 development system including disk interfaces, etc. The sequencer in the 4060 used 64K bytes of dynamic RAM. And as I've been previously quoted as saying, 'Any asshole can design digital circuits.' (Analog is a LOT harder).
We also had been consultants for Roger Linn on the circuit design for the LM-1, so we knew a bit about sampling as well. We'd played with COMDACs in the lab at E-mu as well. The Fairlight used a separate RAM and a separate CPU for each voice. When Scott, Marco, and Ed came to me with their idea, I knew that such an approach was simply too expensive for an MI product.
We'd just have another Audity-class product, competitive with the Fairlight. So I saw that the key would be to use ONE CPU and ONE memory for all eight voices. The trick was getting the memory bandwidth to accomplish that. The solution was a combination of fast, cheap DMA chips and some FIFO buffers to give them big enough bursts so that the bus negotiation didn't hog too much bandwidth. So the answer is that we never gave the slightest thought anything but designing the Emulator from scratch.
I was revolutionizing the state of the art - building what was in my mind, not duplicating something that I'd seen. And the hardware was the easy part. The software was the real challenge. The Audity we demo'ed at AES had about 10,000 lines of code, which I'd written in about 3 weeks. The Emulator code base was a similar size, but rather more complex in several ways. Getting both the hardware and software into a form for demonstration at January NAMM 1981 was a real challenge.
And that leads to.' Via 'LIKE NEW IN THE BOX Analogue Solutions Leipzig-S.

It seems like I read where he used an Oberheim 4 voice for the lead. I think that the other lead parts in the song are two oscillators tuned 2 octaves apart.

Click them for the full size glory, these are big pics. I'll be posting a few more along with video of George taking me through the new. George Mattson designed the hardware, while Division-6 did the software. Along with the Mattson and Division 6 eurorack formats, it will be available as a stand alone desktop sequencer.
This thing is going to be a beast. If you are in the market for a hardware sequencer you are going to want to check this one out.
One thing I really like about the Mattson SQ816 is the individual gate outs for each step. You can have a 16 step sequence with the main out driving the main sequence while having each step drive different drum modules.
In essence you get a main melody sequencer as well as 16 drum triggers. You can of course gate anything including non percussive sounds. The sequencer also supports MIDI out. Also pictured is George's giant EML Mattson modular.
It consists of vintage EML components and new designs from George Mattson. It is a monster. See the for more, and don't miss.:) To the right of the EML Mattson modular and in the other pics you'll see the Mattson Mini Modular in different case formats.

Via 'Due to astute bulk purchasing we can now offer all our audio processing and synthesizer modules with bantam/TT jacks for the same price as the mini-jack or banana versions. All the modules have balanced/unbalanced compatibility and may be connected to other balanced audio systems using low cost moulded patch cables without the previous higher price tag. Bantam or TT (tiny telephone) jacks are widely used in professional audio for high density and reliable patching.
They have the feel and ruggedness of 1/4″ jacks, but only take up the panel space of inferior, fragile 3.5mm jacks without the compatibility issues between manufacturers. Seamless patching between synthesizers and professional studio equipment is now possible without special interfaces. Studio outboard may become integrated into a synthesizer patch and synthesizer modules used to process audio from a studio jackfield.' Via: 'Why Bantam Jacks? In brief, you get the reliability and solid feel of a professional audio connector in a compact footprint (only slightly larger than a 3.5mm jack).' 'Designed for minimum footprint and maximum height whilst still being free standing.
Allows you to grow your case size with your module collection, suitable for desktop or floor. Cascading power and switch port options allow you to share power between active and passive boards and sections allowing you to shut down individual rows of your modular setup independantly.

Recently given a full servicing by a professional technician, Tim of Portland Custom Shop. The Six Trak is a 6-Voice Multi-Timbral Analog Synthesizer with a 6-track sequencer with 2 banks.
It also has an arpegiater with trigger in (turn the speed knob on the arpeggiator/sequencer all the way down and run your trigger signal into the footpedal in, slightly hidden but pretty nifty!) that has an up/down and programable 'assign' mode. You can also save 100 user patches.' Via 'We've been tape and disc echo fanatics for years and have accumulated an extraordinary collection of echo units, some of which are being sold to finance other studio purchases. We've recently sold a Binson PE603T, a mint Echorec B2 (see feedback below) and an amazing Baby Binson; we have an excellent Echorec 2 coming up for sale soon as well as valve and solid state Copicats (please see other listings) and various spring reverbs. Offered for sale here is a valve (tube) Baby Binson disc echo from the late fifties or early sixties in reasonable cosmetic condition (see photos below) and good working order. Everything works as it should and this unit sounds good for an original Binson - the echoes are characterful and warm.
I've owned this machine personally for around ten years - it has been well-maintained and looked-after during that time and has had minimal use as it was my back up machine. We've tested this against our benchmark Baby (a fully-restored machine from Eric at ESE Music) and it performs well, though is not up the same standard (as one would expect): all echo head combinations are as even in level and tone as can reasonably be expected from a 50 year-old vintage machine such as this.
Please be aware that these units require some looking after and that regular maintenance is the key to keeping this in good working order. The motor starts well and the disc spins smoothly, however after not being used for some time it can be noisier when first started and can take a little longer to get up to speed; this is especially likely to be the case after shipping. It recently had a new replacement transformer fitted - supplied by Binson UK. The photos clearly show the condition - some past damage to the clear plastic disc cover and one knob has a piece missing. The input and output have been converted to 1/4 inch jack sockets and the power input is on an earthed IEC socket to comply with modern safety standards. Binson Echorecs are amazingly-designed and engineered: where a tape echo's (ie Copicat) input sound is recorded to tape, on a Binson it is recorded onto a circular spinning disc which has replay heads poisitioned around it.
It is possible to select single and repeating echoes or reverb-like swells - these units have a sound all of their own. The green Magic Eye valve glows with the level of signal and looks fantastic at night (or on a darkened stage). There is a richness to the sound of these older units - the repeats modulated by the ageing transport mechanism in a most appealing way. Binsons were one of the must-have pieces of equipment for bands in the early sixties, alongside the Fender Stratocaster and Vox AC30. Famously-used and abused by Barrett, Gilmour, Waters and Wright of Pink Floyd in the 60s and early 70s (Binsons are very much in evidence on Live at Pompeii and can be seen on photos from many Floyd live shows), Binsons are increasingly sought-after by studios, mix engineers and producers for their unique sound.
Binsons do tend to encourage experimental noise-mongering. The repeats are not hifi - this is after all 50 year-old technology - if you want perfect repeats, buy a digital delay. Authentic fifties slapback echo, Hank Marvin, psychedelic Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelin: all these sounds and more can be had from this little baby.
This is set to 240v but other voltages can be selected - it may be necessary to fit a higher-value fuse for certain voltages. For optimal performance, the jockey-wheel, motor pin and flywheel should be kept clean; the magnetic band should be regularly cleaned and oiled; the heads should be regularly cleaned. Please be aware that it is a vintage unit and may not take kindly to being shipped. It will be well-packed, but if it's not behaving as it should on receipt, please get in touch. Please be aware that to own a machine such as this, you must be prepared to have it regularly checked over and maintained by a competent technician: it should withstand being shipped, but some calibration may be necessary.'

Published on Dec 20, 2012 by Geert Bevin 'A first composition with Animoog 2 and my Eigenharp Alpha. I'm using a single sound patch in Animoog that totally changes based on how I touch the keys on the Eigenharp.
The sound ranges from something akin to a polyphonic theremin to percussive glass sparkles as well as everything in between. This patch was based on one of Animoog's Acoustic Expansion Pack patches. Animoog 2 has improved its MIDI handling tremendously and together with an iConnectMIDI interface, I'm able to send the Eigenharp expression data to Animoog at full rate without any decimation. Creating and playing music with Animoog is now a very emotional experience. Currently this only reacts to polyphonic aftertouch, but I'm hopeful that Moog might ultimately add full support for Voice-Per-Channel MIDI, maybe even at 14-bit resolution. Animoog sounds amazing to me and is amongst the top software synths I've played.' The Eigenharp reminded me of a Christmas tree so I'm giving this one the holidays label.

XD This is an idea I've been kicking around for a while but haven't been able to act on until recently. I love FM synthesis, but like so many other FM fans, the interface of the Yammies is rather infuriating to me. I've always thought it would be fun to do something like this on a modular where not only would there be no menus, but with the patch cables, it would become a lot easier visualize the algorithms.
I just did an upgrade to my Dot Com system to where I'm up to five oscillators now. This is an emulation of a 4-op FM synth a la DX100 or TX81Z emulating a bell sound. Configuration is simple: One oscillator acts as a modulator for a second oscillator, and that's replicated for a second series run in parallel to the mixer. (TX81Z users, imagine algorithm 5.) The fifth oscillator acts as a sync source to keep everything stable. All waveforms are sine. This 'vid' begins with just the raw oscillators being played with.

I'm kinda hating myself for going as long as I have without dumping some money into my lowly Dot Com system, but after getting to play with this, I'm definintely committing myself to bringing more modules into the system (and hopefully investing in one of those sexy Box11 cabinets!)'t.

Published on Dec 20, 2012 by Apps4idevicesMusic ' is a spectral synthesiser that creates a huge range of sound possibilities using the advanced spectral signal processing of Formant Distortion Synthesis. To put things more simply, it uses a spectrogram to create the main sound, then uses a combination of filters, pulse waves and reverb to further shape the sound. You can create your own Formants using the iPads built in mic, import wav files through iTunes file sharing or simply audio paste files you've created in other apps. Formants can even be created directly from performances you record in the app, and easily trimmed using the Formant editor. The next unique feature is the multi-touch filter screen which allows up to 11 touches, which is like using 11 separate filters at once.
It also has a multi-stage envelope for greater sound control, you set the amounts in decibels as well as the time it takes to evoke each stage. Finally, it not only let's you record, but also let's you overdub performances or just play to a backing track while you record. It doesn't have MIDI yet but I believe it is coming. I really love the sounds I can create with this synth, it's easy to navigate and is still the only fully featured spectral synth available. Even just for the filters alone, I have to rate this synth as. A Killer App!
