Original Studio 54 clips compiled by crap1453
Featured hardware:
The MiniKorg 700s is an old and simple monophonic analog keyboard from Korg. It is a dual-oscillator synth related to Korg’s first monosynth, the single oscillator MiniKorg 700. Most of the controls are located in an odd place beneath the keyboard so as to make room above the keyboard for a sheet-music stand. Some controls have bizarre names like Bender, Traveler and Expand for the auto-bend, filter and envelope, respectively.
It has three ring modulators for some strange sounds and noises. Sometimes a decent bass sound for techno music can be achieved using the MiniKorg’s hi-pass and low-pass filters. The two oscillators can be de-tuned and they offer triangle, sawtooth and square waveforms. There are some strange analog effects built-in as well such as portamento, a rudimentary repeat-delay, auto-bend (bender), vibrato and Chorus and Noise waveforms.
Reason CV to MIDI to Oberheim Xpander
Reason MIDI Sequence routed as CV over Audio to an Oberheim Xpander. The Xpander is a six-voice desktop version of the Matrix 12 with which it shares an identical voice architecture. In many ways they are the most flexible non-modular analog synths ever built. Each voice has five LFOs, each with about five different wave shapes, plus the ability to sample most other modulators; five envelopes that can repeat themselves, sync to an LFO, and so on; a lag processor (like portamento, but more general); three tracking generators (that apply a series of linear functions to a value over its range); some ramp generators (the attack portion of an envelope); a 15-mode filter and a user interface to make all of this accessible.
This is kludgey. Here’s the data patch:
1. Reason MIDI Sequence to a Thor
2. Thor Converts MIDI to Control Voltage Note and Gate signals.
3. CV Note/Gate are converted to Audio Signals and routed to Hardware interface audio outputs.
4. Audio Outputs are directed to Soundflower
5. CV as Audio routed through Soundflower into MaxMSP
6. MaxMSP converts CV as Audio to MIDI
7. MIDI directed to a hardware port on a Novation controller
8. MIDI cable to the Oberheim Xpander
9. You cut a hole in the box
Because this configuration does not use Rewire, Audio from the Xpander can be recorded back into Reason. There is, however, a considerable amount of latency.

Demo Matrix 1000 custom Programer device
a prototype of hardware controller for Oberheim Matrix 1000 (the blue & black stuff).
This is a demo of its integrated arpegiator : testing arp speed (from 1/16 of BPM to 2 bars of BPM). The device sends Midi clock et start message in order to stay synced with the drummachine
