MOTM

Hi Folks,

Just to let you know that I'm 'done (?)' recording a version of Flight of the bumblebee, using 
just my modest MOTM synth, Wendy Carlos style :-)
go to my blog at www.motmsynth.blogspot.com to find more info and a link to download the 
mp3. 

hope you enjoy it, and look forward to your (constructive) comments :-)

I thought that was GREAT, I was smiling all the way through! Glad it wasn't 
the usual 'play at warp speed' thing.

OK, Kenneth: I request 'Waltz of the Flowers" :)

I'll listen to the bumblebee later as I'm in the middle of several days of
intense gathering up, cleaning, testing, and photographing primo synth gear
for sale on ebay.  But I saw this:

I don't know if I'm the Kenneth you're refering to, but your request is my
command:

Really nice job! That must have taken a while!

My only suggestion, especially since you were going for sort of a W. Carlos
thang, would be to use different timbres for the lead voice in each section
instead of always the same one. Wendy describes this technique on her
Secrets of Synthesis CD. It's a really informative disc and well worth
owning IMHO.  

Keep up the good work! :-)

Nice. The record scratches really add some nice atmosphere.

Nice work, Koos.

Jean-Jacques Perrey and I get to do that song, onstage every night,
when we do our shows, and it's an amazing tune....

That gives me the perfect opportunity to come out of "lurk" mode, and
mention that Jean-Jacques and I will be doing two, super-rare shows in
a little over a week. We'll be in NYC and Montreal.

Can't bring my modular, but we'll have lots of other fun (synth) toys,
including the amazing Ondioline. Can't wait.

Hope to meet some list members there. We'll be debuting tracks from
our new Oglio CD, "Destination Space", which comes out next
Tuesday.... Samples here:

Dunno if you consider that constructive criticism, but something
sounds out of tune to me, most evident between 0:22 and 0:24.

Hi Andre, yes I've noticed it too, strangely enough most prominent through cheap PC 
speakers...I didn't hear it right away, while using my sennheisers (my wife was getting a 
little tired of hearing the same tune over and over...)   I will try one more time at some 
point, and take a little more care in tuning the VCO's on the polyphonic parts...
can't imagine what an enourmous job Wendy Carlos must have had on those early Moogs, 
that were probably quite a bit more unstable than the MOTM VCO's. I also think I may 
need to double check/calibrate the 1V/OCT response of my two VCO's...

Anyone hear any news on this year's Pacific Northwest Synth gathering yet?
I'd really like to go!

Thanks.

"Just to let everybody know, John Marshall informed me that the PNW DIY meet
will be on October 25, 2008 at Renton Technical College. (Seattle Area).

If you subscribe to other lists...hey, spread the word. This will most
likely be the last one that John will be putting on. I have already
purchased my plane ticket...and I will be there. Hope you will be as well."
