Reverb and U2

June 22nd, 2010 by joe

I just found this cool blog today, The Halls of Valhalla.  The author designed the reverb algorithms for a cool plug-in called Eos by Audio Damage along with a new plug-in called the Valhalla Freq Echo.

The site ‘primarily’ deals with reverb, with all sorts of cool dissections on reverb hardware/software, how Eno/Lanois used verb to produce that shimmer sound and general musical fun.  Anyway, the site is a great read… I highly recommend it.

So here is some u2 shimmer!

Buchla – Subotnick to NIN

June 14th, 2010 by joe

I just spent quite a bit of time reading over this blog, Buchla Tech.   A site geared towards the classic Buchla synth.  It is loaded with interesting stuff, mainly of the diy techy sort.  A very worth while visit for any synth fan, specifically any Buchla synth fan.

If you don’t know anything about Buchla you should.  Buchla made some sweet, highly sought after modular synths – namely the 200 series.  They have been  used by all sorts of people, most famously by Morton Subotnick.  They are not as well known as Moog, nor as straight forward, they are quite cool and just as old!  Much like Neve in the pro audio world, current modular makers are doing their best to remake, or restyle, Buchla 200 series panels.

In 2004, Don Buchla came out with an updated version of the classic, the 200e .  This is probably the greatest modular synth one could buy.  Famously used by Alessandro Cortini, of NIN.  Check out his -large- Buchla setup,

Anyway, if I could afford one …. well I can’t so. Enjoy!

Tetrazzi Organus – Crazy synth stuff

June 10th, 2010 by joe

Just stumbled upon a couple random synth sites with some fairly out of left field stuff, mainly diy-ish.  First off the Tetrazzi Organus.  I’m really not even sure what it is or how it works.  Cool though.  This along with a couple other odd ball creations are made in Baltimore Check them out!

2nd: Carrion Sound which seems to be mainly just cool DIY stuff.  Plenty of tubes, synths and interesting noise machines.  Check out the different pages on the site, plenty of random stuff. I personally liked this video,

I don’t know what to say… this is so geeky.  Although kind of cool.  I can’t imagine how much time it would take to build, design and write the code for this. Check it/them out.
