Noodling around with the 2600 tonight. That thing makes some pretty gnarly sounds! Tried the classics: Frankenstein, R2D2, etc., then a couple from the original patch book, then just messed about for a while. Very cool! #behringer2600 #arp2600 #synth #synthesizer

@hopfgeist Yeah, they're LEDs. I'm almost certain the original 2600 didn't have lights. These thankfully have a dimmer switch and can be turned off. I turned them up for photo, but actually like them at a dim setting.

From time to time, you can even make a wish for something from noisio.This is a super rugged version of the Levitation oscillator - ready for stage. Fully encapsulated with sturdy Alpha pots and Neutrik Jacks. The 9V power jack came back again and one of the 6.3mm Jacks is input for an external mute switch.Now you don't have to worry anymore if your singer jumps on it.Very small edition of only 5 units.Which color combination to choose?https://noisio.de/boards/levitation-oscillator#drone #noise #synthesizer

My new album Mutations turned one week old today Listen here: https://kayleighbeard.bandcamp.com/album/mutationsWith electronic artpop tunes and spacious vocals I tell a fierce, yet hopeful story about the change the world needs now I draw on my own mutations as a wild woman living in an economic world... #electronicpop #electronicmusic #synthesizer #electropop #artpop #indiemusic #altpop #artist #vinyl #ecovinyl #recycled #record #buyvinyls #records #nowplaying #music #release #bandcamp #musician #triphop

Okay, here's a long shot for the #Fedi hive mind. If you are in the intersection of "#musician or musician-adjacent in the 1980s" and "keyboard / #synthesizer aficionado", this one is for you.In the mid- to late-80s, I used to spend a lot of time in music / #instrument stores (not selling CDs, selling guitars and amps and drums and whatnot). Synthesizer tech was advancing rapidly at this point, with digital starting to overtake analog by leaps and bounds.At some point, one of the stores got a new #keyboard model in. I can't swear to it, but I think it was either a #Roland or a #Korg. This one had a floppy drive built in, on the side of the #synth. And they had a demo on a floppy disk that was incredible at the time.It wasn't an official #demo disk. It was a normal consumer floppy, presumably copied far and wide. Hand-Sharpied on it was the name/title "Amin Phone". It was a musical, bright and upbeat piece, rock/pop, maybe 30s long, and included digital samples of a person's voice.The entire thing was a ridiculous #answering machine outgoing #message. I think there was even a sampled voice at the end taken from someone leaving a message, commenting on it being over-the-top or something."Amin phone" is unsearchable on the 'net. Everyone has a phone, and there are millions of people named Amin or el-Amin.Anyone else remember this? Anyone actually able to point to a recording of it?#KeyboardDemo #SynthDemo #AminPhone #Amin #AnsweringMachine #FloppyDisk
