Jean Michel Jarre – Oxygene IV – Live
Jean Michel Jarre at young age, performing his Oxygene IV in the Dutch television show ‘TopPop’.
Notice his random play on the keyboards, an obvious playback performance, much more common back in 1978.
At the time, his performance with all the synthesizers alone gave the audience a huge enough impression. Many even wondered how he could perform the song all by himself.
Images enhanced in colour, sharpness and contrast and soundtrack remastered for better clearity and stereo imaging.
Enjoy! – Nimanty –
For all you Buchla fans out there
Here are two videos of the Buchla in action and a lot of other goodies as well of course
a live aand looped Buchla 200e improv
Cary Grace performs an impromptu improvisation on the Buchla 200 Series Electric Music Box, while taking a break from hand-crafting Wiard 300 Series Modules. Programming assistance provided by Michael Murphy of Modern Implement Company. – The Airtight Garage: http://www.fromefm.co.uk/profile.php?…

More on the Buchla:
The original Buchla Music Box was the brainchild of Don Buchla and came from a commission by composers Ramon Sender and Morton Subotnick. First built in 1963, this synthesizer was composed of several “modules” that generated or modified a music event. Each box served a specific function: oscillator, filter, sample and hold, etc. This would have an effect on the pitch, timbre, amplitude and spacial location of the sound. The idea was to allow musicians and composers to create sounds suited to their own specifications. Previously, one had to utilize either discrete audio generators such as test oscillators or via musique concrète, recorded sounds from natural sources. Although it was a fresh and exciting idea and an excellent way to get new sounds, this was very time-consuming and arduous. The Buchla Box allowed musicians to bend and manipulate sound all in one device. This would lead to the many kinds of electronic instruments available today.
Buchla 100
The Buchla 100 series Modular Electronic Music System was commissioned specifically by Subotnick in 1963 for use on his first major electronic work Silver Apples Of The Moon. He gave Don Buchla ideas and specifications for what the instrument should do. Along with Robert Moog’s Moog synthesizer, it would go on the revolutionize the way music and sound is made.
Buchla 200e
The Buchla 200 series Electric Music Box replaced the previous model in 1970 and represented a significant advance in technology. Almost every parameter can be controlled from an external control voltage.
In the mid 1970s, Don Buchla began experimenting with digital designs and computer controlled systems. The results were the 500 series and the 300 series, both of which paired the new technology with existing 200 series modules to create hybrid analog/digital systems. The Touché was also the result of this research.

Having an iPad as Controllerbox for microKORG
Using the iPad and the S1MIDItrigger for creating a new virtual panel for my microKORG. 36 MIDI parameters to change sounds in real time. (I know it is long and boring to watch, but is awesome for creating and editing your sounds)

Subtractor LFOs and Mods
More in-depth tutorials coming your way from the Propellerhead studio
After watching the first two Synth School videos you’ve probably realized that the entirety of synthesizer sound design is simply about taking a basic sound wave and reshaping it with basic tools like filters, amp envelopes, phase, other oscillators mixed in, etc. This week we’ll look at the final piece of the SubTractor puzzle: LFOs and Performance Modifiers. When you’re done this video you will have everything you need to start creating some seriously unique SubTractor patches. More importantly, you’ll be ready to tackle the more complicated Malström Graintable synthesizer.
Next week I think you’ll be surprised with how much you already know about it having built a strong foundation in a fundamental synth like SubTractor.
