Alphasphere May Be The Most Original New Instrument At Musikmesse 2012 – But It Still Does Dubstep</h1>

<br />
At <a href="http://www.synthtopia.com/content/tag/musikmesse-2012/">Musikmesse 2012</a>, the most original new musical instrument may be the <strong>Alphasphere</strong>, a unique programmable spherical controller.<br />
The
AlphaSphere allows you to be expressive with music through a series of
48 tactile pressure sensors. You can load the Alphasphere with your own
sounds, or connect to your existing digital audio workstation (DAW) with
the intuitive software.<br />
<br />
<strong>AlphaSphere Hardware</strong><br />
By itself, the
AlphaSphere is a controller which communicates to a computer or
synthesizer via USB. Though it has the ability to send MIDI messages, it
is not strictly a MIDI controller and is more programmable than a
standard MIDI controller.<br />
<em>The AlphaSphere offers full polyphonic aftertouch</em> compatibility as standard, each of the pressure sensitive pads affecting the sound individually.<br />
The
AlphaSphere’s form is conceived as a departure from the western
tradition of music. The combination of tactile pads in a playable form
‘unlocks a new experience of music making, a synergy of form and
function’.<br />

<br />
<strong>AlphaLive</strong>
is a standalone application that enables the AlphaSphere to operate as a
number of common devices found within electronic music production.<br />
The software allows you to program the functionality of the AlphaSphere to a highly customized level.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A talk box is an effects unit that
allows musicians to modify the sound of a musical instrument. The musician
controls the modification by lip syncing, or by changing the shape of the
mouth. The effect can be used to shape the frequency content of the sound and
to apply speech sounds (in the same way as singing) onto a musical instrument,
typically a guitar (its non-guitar use is often confused with the vocoder) and
keyboards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A talk box is usually an effects
pedal that sits on the floor and contains a speaker attached with an airtight
connection to a plastic tube; however, it can come in other forms, including
homemade, usually crude, versions, and higher quality custom-made versions. The
speaker is generally in the form of a compression driver, the sound-generating
part of a horn loudspeaker with the horn replaced by the tube connection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The box has connectors for the
connection to the speaker output of an instrument amplifier and a connection to
a normal instrument speaker. A foot-operated switch on the box directs the
sound either to the talk box speaker or to the normal speaker. The switch is
usually a push-on/push-off type. The other end of the tube is taped to the side
of a microphone, extending enough to direct the reproduced sound in or near the
performer's mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When activated, the sound from the
amplifier is reproduced by the speaker in the talk box and directed through the
tube into the performer's mouth. The shape of the mouth filters the sound, with
the modified sound being picked up by the microphone. The shape of the mouth
changes the harmonic content of the sound in the same way it affects the
harmonic content generated by the vocal folds when speaking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The performer can vary the shape of
the mouth and position of the tongue, changing the sound of the instrument
being reproduced by the talk box speaker. The performer can mouth words, with
the resulting effect sounding as though the instrument is speaking. This
"shaped" sound exits the performer's mouth, and when it enters a
microphone, an instrument/voice hybrid is heard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The sound can be that of any
musical instrument, but the effect is most commonly associated with the guitar.
The rich harmonics of an electric guitar are shaped by the mouth, producing a
sound very similar to voice, effectively allowing the guitar to appear to
"speak".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In 1939, Alvino Rey, amateur radio
operator W6UK, used a carbon throat microphone wired in such a way as to
modulate his electric steel guitar sound. The mic, originally developed for
military pilot communications, was placed on the throat of Rey's wife Luise
King (one of The King Sisters), who stood behind a curtain and mouthed the
words, along with the guitar lines. The novel-sounding combination was called
"Singing Guitar", and employed on stage and in the movie Jam Session,
as a "novelty" attraction, but was not developed further.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Rey also created a somewhat similar
"talking" effect by manipulating the tone controls of his Fender
electric guitar, but the vocal effect was less pronounced.[1]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another early voice effect using
the same principle of the throat as a filter was the Sonovox. Instead of a
throat microphone modulating a guitar signal, it used small loudspeakers
attached to the performer's throat.[2] It was used in films such as A Letter to
Three Wives (1949), The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947), the voice of Casey
Junior the train in Dumbo (1941) and The Reluctant Dragon (1941), the
instruments in Rusty in Orchestraville, the piano in Sparky's Magic Piano, and
the airplane in Whizzer The Talking Airplane (1947). The Sonovox was also used
in many radio station IDs produced by PAMS of Dallas and JAM Creative
Productions. Lucille Ball made one of her earliest film appearances during the
1930s in a Pathé Newsreel demonstrating the Sonovox. The Sonovox was
commercialized by the Wright-Sonovox company, an affiliate of the Free &
Peters advertising agency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Sonovox makes an even earlier
appearance in the 1940 film You'll Find Out starring Kay Kyser and his
orchestra, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre. Lugosi uses the Sonovox
to portray the voice of a dead person during a seance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">British rock band The Who included
a cut on their album, The Who Sell Out, that consisted of the days of the week
"spoken" by guitar chords using the Sonovox.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pete Drake, a Nashville mainstay on
the pedal steel guitar, used talk box on his 1964 album Forever, in what came
to be called his "talking steel guitar". The following year Gallant
released three albums with the box, Pete Drake & His Talking Guitar,
Talking Steel and Singing Strings, and Talking Steel Guitar.[3] Drake's device
consisted of an 8-inch paper cone speaker driver attached to a funnel from
which a clear tube brought the sound to the performer's mouth. It was only loud
enough to be useful in the recording studio.[1]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The first high-powered Talk Box was
developed by Bob Heil[4] but there is clearly prior art in the form of the
Kustom Electronics device, "The Bag",[5] which is the same concept
housed in a decorative bag slung over the shoulder like a wine bottle, using
only a 30-watt driver, and sold in 1969, two years before Heil's high-powered
Talk Box. The Bag is claimed to have been designed by Doug Forbes,[6][7] who
states that exactly the same concept (horn driver attached to a plastic tube
and inserted into the mouth) had previously been patented as an artificial
larynx.[8] But it was Heil that came up with the first high-powered Talk Box
that could be reliable when used on high-level rock stages. His first Heil Talk
Box was built for Joe Walsh's Barnstorm tour. Heil and Walsh both avid ham
radio experimenters (K9EID and WB6ACU), along with Walsh's guitar tech
"Krinkle" combined a 250-watt JBL driver and suitable low-pass filter
which was used for Walsh's single "Rocky Mountain Way". Walsh gives
credit to Bill West, an electrical engineer, Nashville steel guitarist and
first husband of country music legend Dottie West, for inventing the talk box
for him in the May 2012 issue of Guitar World magazine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pete Townshend, in his 2012 biography
Who I Am, claimed to have invented a version of the Talk Box during a Who tour
of the USA in 1976. "I built a speaker in a small box, attached a tube and
put the tube in my mouth, allowing me to speak music". Townshend did not
specify if his version was for guitar or only for music.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In 1988, Heil sold the
manufacturing rights to Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc., which currently builds the
Heil Talk Box to the exact standards that Heil designed in 1973.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The 1974 hit single "Tell Me
Something Good", performed by Rufus and Chaka Khan and written by Stevie
Wonder, which peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, was among the
earliest hits to use the guitar talk box.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In an interview for the 1999 DVD
Live in Detroit, Peter Frampton says he first heard the talk box in 1970 while
sitting in on sessions for George Harrison's All Things Must Pass. While he sat
next to Pete Drake in the album sessions at Abbey Road studio, he heard Pete
using it with a pedal steel guitar. Frampton said in the same interview that the
sound it produced reminded him of an audio effect he loved listening to on the
pirate radio station Radio Luxembourg in the later 1960s. Frampton acquired one
as a Christmas present from Bob Heil in 1974. It was a hand-built Talk Box in a
fiberglass box using a 100-watt high-powered driver. This was the Heil Talk Box
used for the Frampton Comes Alive tour and album.[9][10][11][12] He then
promptly locked himself away in a practice space for two weeks, and came out
with some mastery of it. Due to the success of the albums Frampton and Frampton
Comes Alive!, and particularly the hit singles "Do You Feel Like We
Do" and "Show Me the Way", Frampton has become somewhat
synonymous with the talk box.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Peter Frampton also now sells his
own line of custom-designed "Framptone" products, including a talk
box.[13]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Two early examples of a talk box
being used on studio recordings are Sly and the Family Stone's "Sex
Machine" from their album Stand! and Al Kooper with Shuggie Otis'
"One Room Country Shack" from their album Kooper Session, both
released in 1969. The band Steppenwolf has used the Talk Box since at least
1970. On the album Live Steppenwolf, the talk box can be clearly heard on the
tracks "Hey Lawdy Mama" and "Twisted". On the track
"Someone Told A Lie", from the album Hour of the Wolf, some of the
lyrics are sung through a talk box. John Kay was observed using a talk box on
stage at two shows in New Jersey (Wildwood and Cherry Hill) in 1971. The band
Iron Butterfly used a talk box in the song "Butterfly Bleu" from the
album Metamorphosis in 1970. Alvin Lee used a talk box for the Ten Years After
song "I Say Yeah" from the album Watt in 1970. Young-Holt Unlimited
featured a talk box on their song "Wah-Wah Man", also released in
1970, on the album Born Again. Stevie Wonder first used a talk box on his album
Music of My Mind in early 1972. Jeff Beck used the Kustom Bag talk box on
"She's A Woman" from his 1975 release Blow by Blow, and was seen

First, we invite you to experience a bit of Korg history with our exclusive
Doncamatic samples! The Doncamatic is the first product ever produced by Korg;
an electro-mechanical rhythm box made nearly 50 years ago. Korg engineers
restored the original Doncamatic at our Korg Product Museum in Tokyo to its
original condition to create these samples! The Doncamatic was used most
recently on the single “DONCAMATIC,” released by the internationally famous
group Gorillaz. Enjoy One-Shot sounds, Loops, and Patterns of this important
classic.<br />

free downloadable sample for your microSAMPLER<br />
<br />
The latest addition to the Korg "micro" series serves up sampling
with a powerful performance punch! The microSAMPLER delivers multi-mode sampling,
resampling, Pattern Sequencing and over-the-top effects – and all under a
fun-to-use intuitive interface. More than just a sampler, the microSAMPLER is a
complete sound design studio for creating up-to-the minute loops and phrases.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<b>Giant Sampling / microSIZE</b><br />
The microSAMPLER hosts a solid complement of top-end sampling features to
expand your creative potential. This full-fledged instrument offers
fourteen-voice polyphony, reverse playback, editing operations such as
Normalize and Truncate, and a Time Stretch feature that lets you change the
tempo without affecting the pitch. Selectable sample rates of 48 kHz, 24 kHz,
12 kHz, and down to 6 kHz let you sample at rates beyond CD clarity or add in
that Lo-Fi vintage vibe. Each bank contains 36 samples (a maximum of
approximately 160 seconds of recording time for monaural samples at a 48 kHz
sampling rate) and sixteen patterns of sequence data; the microSAMPLER lets you
store eight such banks in internal memory. The Keyboard mode takes a single
sample and assigns it chromatically across the keys for instant playability.
With its recessed controls, bright LEDs and informative display, the
microSAMPLER is fun to use and easy to operate – for beginners or seasoned
pros.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br /><br /><br />
<b>Swiss Army Sampling</b><br />
Too many instruments simply offer sampling as an added feature. The
microSAMPLER is all about sampling, in every creative form. Five distinct
sampling methods allow you to work the way you want, to get the results you
need. The microSAMPLER offers traditional One-Shot and Loop sampling, plus a
number of creative sampling modes – Loop, Key Gate and Auto-Next. When it comes
to sampling, the microSAMPLER has it all.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />

sampling for capturing phrases as multiple samples. For grabbing a groove
as separate samples on individual keys, choose the AUTO NEXT mode and use
Tap Tempo to match the BPM of the source material. The microSAMPLER will
automatically divide the sample equally across multiple keys. Each key can
be set to capture anything from a 64th note to a full two measures. This
method lets you automatically perform the same type of sampling as KEY
GATE.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>

Gate sampling is best for grabbing multiple samples from the same source.
With Key Gate, you can take multiple samples from the same source or
phrase and assign them to different keys as you play them! The individual
keys assign the sample and enable recording all at the same time. This
intuitive method of sampling, editing, and mapping in a single step is
fun, interactive and fast.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">In addition, there's a resampling
function that lets you play existing layered samples processed by an effect and
played by the pattern sequencer – and capture it all as a new sample. You can
even sample while playing, allowing the sampling process itself to become part
of your expressive performance.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<b>Sample anytime, anywhere – or anything!</b><br />
The microSAMPLER can run on batteries, so you can perform on the go – or
capture samples anywhere. Both line input and mic input are provided to allow a
broad range of input sources including electronic musical instruments, CD, and
voice. A gooseneck microphone is included so you can capture sounds with ease.
The convenient caddies (located beside the mic jack) provide a cradle for your
portable MP3/audio player when using it as a sample source. Truly, the world is
yours to sample anytime and anyplace.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<b>Pattern Possibilities</b><br />
The pattern sequencer uses an overdub operating style that lets you continually
layer your performances. You can switch between patterns during playback for
seamless performances. Up to sixteen patterns (16,000 notes per pattern, or a
maximum 64,000 notes) can be stored in each bank.<br />

<b>Made to be Played</b><br />
The microSAMPLER features our new Natural Touch micro keyboard, offering
greatly enhanced playability and expressive power. By adjusting the proportion
of the black keys and white keys, we've made chords easier to finger, and the
touch has been improved so that rapid phrases can be played more easily – and
with less fatigue. The box-shaped keys project a sense of quality, and also
allow smoother glides and smears. The controllers you need for an exciting
performance are laid out on the panel for intuitive operation. The status of
the samples assigned to each key (and the item being edited) is indicated by
the lit state of the LEDs running along the top of the keyboard, ensuring
excellent visibility even on stage.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<b>USB-eautiful</b><br />
By using the free editor/librarian software for the microSAMPLER, you can
manage a gigantic sample library that's all your own. You can back up sample
and pattern sequence data to your computer via USB, or load samples and
patterns back in just as easily. . Importing and exporting of WAV/AIFF data on
your computer is also supported. The possibilities are endless…</span></div>

junto a Gerry Weil en el Teatro Municipal de Caracas cuando dio su concierto
con Allah Raka , discípulo de Ustad Allauddin Khan, gran maestro de la música
India Clásica , Gerry Weil y yo recibimos ciertas nociones de los Ragas Hindúes
y yo aprendí la nomenclatura Hindú del Sitar, ya que incursione en este
instrumento como su antecesor fue la Veena , de ahí partí a hacer Ragas en mis
Albums , la ultima la toque en el Concierto en Caracas en Noviembre del 2010,
tanto me influyó este maestro que entre a practicar la disciplina del Yoga,
dejar de Comer Carne, leer los Vedas y los Upanishads, me case con Hindú que
aun sigue siendo mi esposa, quien a veces me acompaña con la tampura y las
tablas..Gloria a este ser Luminoso!! Viva Ravi Shankar!! Espero que hayas

<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Buchla Music Box (1963)<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">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 spatial 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.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The Buchla 100 series Modular
Electronic Music System[2] 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. It was
also used on Buffy Sainte Marie's influential 1969 album, Illuminations. Along
with Robert Moog's Moog synthesizer, it would go on to revolutionize the way
music and sound is made.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The Buchla 200 series Electric
Music Box[3] replaced the previous model in 1970 and represented a significant
advance in technology. Almost every parameter can be controlled from an
external control voltage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In the mid 1970s, Don Buchla
began experimenting with digital designs and computer controlled systems. The
results were the 500 series[4] and the 300 series,[5] both of which paired the
new technology with existing 200 series modules to create hybrid analog/digital
systems. The Touché[6] was also the result of this research, and was also his
final attempt to market a "mainstream" Buchla synth[citation needed].<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Buchla 250e Arbitrary Function
Generator<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Buchla tends to not refer to his
instruments as synthesizers, as he feels that name gives the impression of
imitating existing sounds/instruments. His intent is to make instruments for
creating new sounds. This convention is evidenced by the omission of a standard
musical keyboard on his early instruments, which instead used a series of touch
plates which were not necessarily tied to equal-tempered tuning. He also has
different naming conventions than most of the industry: for example, one of his
modules is called a "Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator." These
differences run deeper than nomenclature though. The Multiple Arbitrary
Function Generator (or MARF) goes well beyond what a typical sequencer is
capable of performing and is capable of acting as an envelope generator, LFO,
CV selector, voltage quantizer[disambiguation needed] or tracking generator.
Another module that sometimes gets cited for its uniqueness is the Source of
Uncertainty. The Source of Uncertainty provides many different flavors of
randomness, from noise of different colors, to a LFO-like fluctuating random
voltage, and a couple forms of triggered static random voltages, all under voltage
control. The Source of Uncertainty goes well beyond a noise and random module
in a typical synthesizer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Buchla Music Easel<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It is also important to note that
Don Buchla and Robert Moog simultaneously invented the modular synthesizer in
1963, Moog in New York and Buchla in San Francisco. This is an apparent example
of multiple discovery. While there had been previous synthesizer experiments,
Moog's and Buchla's major development that made the synthesizer portable and
flexible was that of using control voltage to manipulate the various elements
of the circuits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Buchla's instruments, such as the
Music Easel (pictured),[1] use a different method of timbre generation than
Moog synthesizers. Moog units use oscillators with basic function generator
type waveshapes and rely heavily on filtering with 24dB resonant low-pass
filters, while Buchlas are geared toward complex oscillators using frequency
modulation, amplitude modulation, and dynamic waveshaping to produce other
forms of timbre modulation. Many of Don Buchla's designs, including the
Low-Pass Gates (later called Dynamic Managers) contain vactrols, photoresistive
opto-isolator employed as voltage-controlled potentiometers, which contribute
to a very "natural" Buchla sound.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">By the late 1980s, Don Buchla had
stopped creating instruments and shifted his focus to alternate MIDI
controllers. His controller designs have included the Thunder, Lightning, and
Marimba Lumina.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

team that designed the Oberheim OB-Mx,[12] the so called "Ober-Moog",
in the 11th hour to help make it a working instrument. A hybrid analog/digital
design, the OB-MX uses many of the lessons learned when researching for the 300

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Finally, in 2004, Don Buchla
returned to designing full blown modular electronic instruments with the 200e,
a hybrid system using digital microprocessors that uses the same size modules and
signals as the 100 and 200 series systems. The 200e modules convert all signals
to analog at the panel, appearing to the user like an analog system, with patch
cables. Systems can be built using a combination of 100, 200 and 200e modules.
The 200e modules connect through a digital communications buss, allowing the
system to store the settings of the knobs and switches.</span></div>

Aunque no tiene teclas, sobre la superficie del instrumento hay una guía que
simula las teclas del teclado, la cual es opcional al momento de compra. El
instrumento fue, en parte, popularizado por <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Rudess" title="Jordan Rudess"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Jordan Rudess</span></a> en
su participación en <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Theater" title="Dream Theater"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Dream Theater</span></a>, en especial en el inicio de la
épica canción "Octavarium", en variadas partes de "A Nightmare

El eje <b>x</b> va de lado a lado del Continuum horizontalmente.
Sobre él se tocan las notas y se pueden realizar <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glissando" title="Glissando"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">glissandos</span></a> (deslizando
uno o más dedos entre una nota y otra por la superficie del Continuum) y <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrato" title="Vibrato"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">vibratos</span></a>(moviendo
el dedo sobre la nota levemente). El eje <b>y</b> va de arriba a
abajo del Continuum. Es una forma de controlar la intensidad en el instrumento.
Más cerca de la parte inferior del instrumento el volumen será más bajo, y del
lado contrario será más alto. Además el eje <b>y</b> tiene otros
usos, dependiendo del sintetizador al que esté conectado el Continuum. Puede
servir como control de efectos (como la brillantez del sonido, uno de los más
usados en el instrumento). La dimensión <b>z</b> funciona respecto a
la profundidad del instrumento. Ejerciendo más presión con los dedos sobre las
notas se logra un volumen más fuerte, y con menos presión se logra uno más
suave. Cabe mencionar que todos estos parámetros pueden ser modificados para
tener diversas funciones dependiendo del sintetizador al que estén conectados.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Fingerboard is similar to a keyboard instrument, except having a plush touch
key instead. It is a cross between the guitar and the keyboard horizontally,
due to its versatility of sounds. The Continuum is connected via MIDI oFirewire
any synthesizer or sequencer. Although it has no buttons on the surface of the
instrument is a guide that simulates the keyboard keys, which is optional at
the time of purchase. The instrument was partly popularized by Jordan Rudess on
his participation in Dream Theater, especially in the beginning of the epic
song "Octavarium", in various parts of "A Nightmare to
Remember", "Constant Motion" and "The Dark Eternal Night
"among others.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

consists of a system of axes: x, y and z. The x-axis going from side to side
horizontally Continuum. Above him play the notes and can make glissandos
(sliding one or more fingers from one note to another surface by Continuum) and
vibrato (moving the finger on the note slightly). The y-axis runs from top to
bottom of the Continuum. It is a way to control the intensity in the
instrument. Nearer the bottom of the instrument the volume will be lower and
the opposite side will be higher. Besides the shaft and has other uses,
depending on the synthesizer that is connected to the Continuum. It can serve
as control effects (like the brightness of the sound, one of the most used in
the instrument). The z dimension versus depth functions of the instrument.
Exerting more pressure with fingers on the notes is achieved strong volume,
with less pressure and a softer achieved. It is noteworthy that all these
parameters can be modified to have different functions depending on the
synthesizer to which they are connected.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

string is tuned down to the natural fourth: 4-8-8-1 or Ma-sa-sa-Sa. Some ragas
require a less common tuning with shuddh NI (one semitone below octave sa),
NI-sa-sa-SA. With a five-string instrument, the seventh or NI (natural minor or

function and how it works, the tambura is unique in many ways. It does not
partake in the melodic part of the music, but it supports and sustains the
melody by providing a colourful and dynamic harmonic resonance field based on
one precise tone, the basic note or key note. Also, it is not played in rhythm
with the music. Its tempo is independent of the music it supports, and the
speed of playing may vary throughout a performance or remain relatively
constant, at the discretion of the player.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

slopes gently away from the surface of the strings. When a string is plucked,
it has intermittent periodical contact with the bridge; this intermittent
grazing of the string and bridge is not a static process, as the points of
contact will gradually shift, being a compound function of amplitude, the
curvature of the bridge, and string tension. When the string is plucked, it has
a large amplitude, moving up and down and contacting the bridge on the
down-phase. As the energy of the string's movement gradually diminishes, the
contact point of the string with the bridge slowly creeps up the slope to the
top of the bridge, finally resting at the top of the bridge. Depending on scale
and pitch, this can take between three and ten seconds. This dynamic process
can be fine-tuned using a cotton thread between string and bridge: by shifting
the thread, the grazing contact is shifted to a different position on the
bridge, changing the harmonic content. Every single string produces its own
cascading range of harmonics and, at the same time, builds up a particular
resonance. According to this principle, tamburas are attentively tuned to
achieve a particular tonal shade relative to the intonation-related qualities

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">La tanpura, tambura o tambora, es un instrumento de
cuerda pulsada de la India, que se usa para mantener sonidos zumbantes

de su sonido y durante un concierto es como el faro o punto de referencia que
el resto de músicos necesita para no extraviarse en sus largos paseos por estas
composiciones libres de partitura. Generalmente es el propio músico solista
quien comprueba -y retoca si así lo considera- la afinación de la tanpura justoantes
de comenzar el concierto. Es un instrumento de gran belleza estética en su
forma tradicional, pero el volumen de estas tanpuras hace complicado su
transporte y en la actualidad los músicos habitualmente optan en sus
desplazamientos por un diseño más funcional, en el que una delgada y
rectangular caja de madera da la resonancia y a la vez sostiene las cuerdas.</span></div>

has two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_(instrument)" title="Bridge (instrument)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">bridges</span></a>; the large bridge (<i>badaa goraa</i>)
for the playing and drone strings and the small bridge (<i>chota goraa</i>) for
the sympathetic strings. Its timbre results from the way the strings interact
with the wide, sloping bridge. As a string reverberates its length changes
slightly as its edge touches the bridge, promoting the creation of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtones" title="Overtones"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">overtones</span></a> and
giving the sound its distinctive tone. The maintenance of this specific tone by
shaping the bridge is called <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jivari" title="Jivari"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">jawari</span></a></i>.

derived from the Persian word "Seh-Tar". "Seh" means three
in Persian. "Tar" means strings. There are two popular modern styles
of sitar offered in a variety of sub-styles and decorative patterns. The two
popular styles are the "gayaki style" sitars (sometimes called
"Vilayat Khan style sitars") and the full decorated
"instrumental style" sitars (sometimes called "Ravi Shankar
style sitars"). The gayaki style sitar is mostly of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_drying" title="Wood drying"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">seasoned</span></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toon_wood" title="Toon wood"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">toon wood</span></a>,
with very few or no carved decorations. It often has a dark polish. The inlay
decorations are mostly of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_of_pearl" title="Mother of pearl"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">mother of
pearl</span></a> (imitation). The number of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_strings" title="Sympathetic strings"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">sympathetic strings</span></a> is often limited to
eleven but may feature thirteen. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jivari" title="Jivari"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Jawari</span></a> grinding
styles are also different as is the thickness of the "tabli"
(soundboard).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 18pt;">The other type
of sitar, the instrumental style, is most often made of seasoned </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toon_wood" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 18pt;" title="Toon wood"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">toon wood</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 18pt;">,
but sometimes made of (Burma) teak. It is often fitted with a second resonator,
a small tumba (pumpkin or pumpkin like wood replica) on the neck. This style is
usually fully decorated, with floral or grape carvings and </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celluloid" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 18pt;" title="Celluloid"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">celluloid</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 18pt;"> inlays
with colored (often brown or red) and black floral or arabesque patterns. It
typically has thirteen sympathetic strings. It is said, that the best Burma
teak sitars are made from </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teak" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 18pt;" title="Teak"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">teak</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 18pt;"> that has been seasoned for generations.

various additional sub styles and cross mixes of styles in sitars, according to
customer preferences. Most important, there are some differences (preferences)
in the positioning of sympathetic (<i>Taraf</i>) string pegs (see photo).
Amongst all sitar styles there are student styles, beginner models, semi-pro
styles, pro-models, master models, and so on. Prices are often determined by
the manufacturers name and not by looks alone or materials used. Some sitars by
certain manufacturers fetch very high collectible prices. Most notable are
older <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rikhi_Ram&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Rikhi Ram (page does not exist)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Rikhi Ram</span></a> (Delhi) and

a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezrab" title="Mezrab"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">mizraab</span></a>.
The thumb stays anchored on the top of the fretboard just above the main gourd.
Generally only the index and middle fingers are used for fingering although a
few players occasionally use the third. A specialized technique called
"meend" involves pulling the main melody string down over the bottom
portion of the sitar's curved frets, with which the sitarist can achieve a
seven <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitone" title="Semitone"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">semitone</span></a> range
of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtonal" title="Microtonal"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">microtonal</span></a> notes
(it should be noted, however, that because of the sitar's movable frets,
sometimes a fret may be set to a microtone already, and no bending would be
required). Adept players bring in charisma through use of special techniques
like Kan, Krintan, Murki, Zamzama etc. They also use special Mizrab Bol-s, as
in Misrabani<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitar#cite_note-3"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">[3]</span></a></sup> and
create Chhand-s even in odd-numbered Tal-s like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhoomra" title="Jhoomra"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Jhoomra</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

("mizrab") situada en el dedo índice, excepto las simpáticas, que
eventualmente se tocan con el dedo meñique. El sitar tiene un total de 18 a 26
cuerdas de acero: 4 cuerdas para la melodía, 3 que proporcionan el acompañamiento
armónico y rítmico, y entre 11 y 19 cuerdas afinables que vibran por simpatía y

<b><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">modern Autoharp<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The autoharp is a musical string instrument having
a series of chord bars attached to dampers, which, when depressed, mute all of
the strings other than those that form the desired chord. Despite its name, the
autoharp is not a harp at all, but a chorded zither.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is debate over the origin of the autoharp. A
German immigrant in Philadelphia by the name of Charles F. Zimmermann was
awarded US 257808 in 1882 for a design for a musical instrument that included
mechanisms for muting certain strings during play. He named his invention the
autoharp.[3] Unlike later autoharps, the shape of the instrument was
symmetrical, and the felt-bearing bars moved horizontally against the strings
instead of vertically. It is not known if Zimmermann ever commercially produced
any instruments of this early design. Karl August Gütter of Markneukirchen,
Germany, built a model that he called a Volkszither, which most resembles the
autoharp played today. Gütter obtained a British patent for his instrument
circa 1883–1884. Zimmermann, after returning from a visit to Germany, began
production of the Gütter design in 1885 but with his own design patent number
and catchy name. Gütter's instrument design became very popular, and Zimmermann
has often been mistaken as the inventor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trademark<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The term Autoharp was registered as a trademark in
1926.[4] The word is currently claimed as a trademark by U.S. Music
Corporation, whose Oscar Schmidt division manufactures Autoharps.[citation
needed] The USPTO registration, however, covers only a "Mark Drawing Code
(5) WORDS, LETTERS, AND/OR NUMBERS IN STYLIZED FORM" and has expired.[5]
In litigation with George Orthey, it was held that Oscar Schmidt could only
claim ownership of the stylized lettering of the word Autoharp, the term itself
having moved into general usage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although the autoharp is often thought of as a
rhythm instrument for playing chordal accompaniment, modern players can play
melodies on the instrument. Diatonic players are able to play fiddle tunes by
using open-chording techniques, "pumping" the damper buttons while
picking individual strings. Skilled chromatic players can perform a range of
melodies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Diatonically strung single key instruments from
modern day luthiers such as Orthey, Fladmark, Hollandsworth, D'Aigle, Baker,
Daniels and Goose Acres are known for their lush sound. This is accomplished by
doubling the strings for individual notes. Since the strings for notes not in
the diatonic scale need not appear in the string bed, the resulting extra space
is used for the doubled strings, resulting in fewer damped strings. Two- and
three-key diatonics compromise the number of doubled strings to gain the
ability to play in two or three keys, and to permit tunes containing
accidentals, which could not otherwise be rendered on a single key harp. A
three-key harp in the circle of fifths, such as a GDA, is often called a
festival or campfire harp, as the instrument can easily accompany fiddles
around a campfire at a festival in their favored keys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Until the 1960s there were no pickups to amplify
the autoharp other than a rudimentary contact microphone, which had a
poor-quality, tinny sound. Eventually a bar magnetic pickup was designed by
Harry DeArmond, and manufactured by Rowe Industries. Roger Penney of Bermuda
Triangle Band was the first person to introduce the electric autoharp to the
public, as cited in a 1968 Variety article.[7] In the 1970s Oscar Schmidt came
out with their own magnetic pickup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shown at the right is a 1930 refinished Oscar
Schmidt Inc. Model "A". This harp has 2 DeArmond magnetic pickups
(one under the chord bars), with a fine tuning mechanism, and chord bar
assembly, and was used in a 1968 MGM/Heritage Records recording by Euphoria.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A synthesized version of the autoharp, the
Omnichord, was introduced in 1981 and is now known as the Q-Chord, described as
a "digital songcard guitar".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Autoharps have been used in the United States as
bluegrass and folk instruments, perhaps most famously by Maybelle Carter, Sara
Carter, Helen Carter and June Carter, all of the Carter Family. They are
relatively easy to learn to play as a rhythm instrument, but offer great
rewards to the more committed player as a melody instrument. Grand Ole Opry
star Cecil Null was the first to develop the upright style for playing the
autoharp that was in turn used by the Carter Family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">moderno Autoharp</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">El autoharp es un instrumento musical de cuerda que tiene una serie de barras acorde unidos a los amortiguadores, que, cuando se presiona, mute todas las cadenas distintas de las que forma el acorde deseado. A pesar de su nombre, no el arpa es un arpa en absoluto, sino una cítara acorde.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Existe un debate sobre el origen del arpa. Un inmigrante alemán en Filadelfia con el nombre de Charles F. Zimmermann fue galardonado con EE.UU. 257.808 en 1882 para el diseño de un instrumento musical que incluyó mecanismos para silenciar ciertas cadenas durante el juego. Llamó a su invento el arpa. [3] A diferencia de autoharps posteriores, la forma del instrumento era simétrica, y las barras de soporte de fieltro mueve horizontalmente contra las cuerdas en lugar de verticalmente. No se sabe si alguna vez Zimmermann producido comercialmente cualesquiera instrumentos de este diseño temprano. Karl August Gütter de Markneukirchen, Alemania, construyó un modelo que él llamó un Volkszither, lo que más se parece el arpa juega hoy. Gütter obtuvo una patente británica para su instrumento, circa 1883-1884. Zimmermann, después de regresar de una visita a Alemania, comenzó la producción del diseño Gütter en 1885, pero con su propio número de patente de diseño y nombre pegadizo. Gütter diseño del instrumento se hizo muy popular, y Zimmermann ha sido a menudo confundido con el inventor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Marca</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">El Autoharp término fue registrado como marca en 1926. [4] La palabra está reivindicado como marca por EE.UU. Music Corporation, cuyo Oscar Schmidt división fabrica Autoharps. [Cita requerida] El registro USPTO, sin embargo, cubre sólo una "Dibujo Marcos Código (5) palabras, letras y / o números en forma estilizada "y ha expirado. [5] En los litigios con George Orthey, se sostuvo que Oscar Schmidt sólo podría reclamar la propiedad de la letra estilizada del Autoharp palabra, el término sí mismo de haber movido a ser de uso general.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Si bien el arpa es a menudo considerado como un instrumento de ritmo para jugar acompañamiento de cuerdas, los jugadores modernos pueden tocar melodías en el instrumento. Jugadores diatónicas son capaces de tocar melodías de violín mediante el uso de técnicas acordes abiertos, "bombeo" de los botones del amortiguador al recoger las cuerdas individuales. Calificados jugadores cromáticas pueden realizar una serie de melodías.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Diatónicamente encadenan los instrumentos individuales clave de luthiers hoy en día como Orthey, Fladmark, Hollandsworth, Aigle D', Baker, Daniels y Acres Goose son conocidos por su sonido exuberante. Esto se consigue al doblar las cuerdas de notas individuales. Puesto que las cuerdas de notas no en la escala diatónica no necesitan aparecer en el cordaje, el espacio extra resultante se utiliza para las cuerdas duplicado, dando como resultado menos cadenas amortiguadas. De dos y tres teclas diatónicas comprometer el número de cuerdas se duplicó para tener la posibilidad de jugar en dos o tres teclas, y para permitir alteraciones que contienen melodías, que de otra manera no podrían ser prestados en un arpa sola tecla. Un arpa de tres llaves en el círculo de quintas, como un GDA, a menudo se llama un festival de arpa o fogata, ya que el instrumento puede acompañar juguetea alrededor de una fogata en un festival en sus teclas favoritas.</span></div>

Roger Penney Triángulo de las Bermudas Band fue el primero en introducir el arpa eléctrica al público, según lo citado en un artículo de Variety de 1968. [7] En la década de 1970 Oscar Schmidt salió con su sensor magnético propio.</span></div>
