The Artemis – A New Instrument Inspired By The Ondes Martenot
The video takes a look at a new instrument created by Mark Steiner, the Artemis.
The Artemis is a wind/string instrument, inspired by the Ondes Martenot. Pitch is mainly controlled by a ring attached to a loop of string. Continue reading
DIY Ondes Martenot Style Controller
This video, via Mark Steiner, demos his DIY Martenot-style controller.
The Ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument designed by Maurice Martenot in the 1920′s, offers a standard keyboard for discrete pitch control and a ring-on-a-string controller for continuous pitch control.
Here’s what Steiner has to say about his creation: Continue reading
The Therevox ET-4 (Ondes Martenot Style Analog Synthesizer)
Here’s a quick demo of the Therevox ET-4 analog ribbon synthesizer.
Inspired by the Ondes Martenot’s au ruban controller, the ET-4 is controlled by moving a finger along a reference keyboard shaped to provide tactile feedback. Dual pressure sensitive intensity keys control the amplitude of the ET-4′s two independent analog oscillators.
DIY Ondes Martenot MIDI Controller
Reader Mitsushi Abe let us know about this fantastic DIY project – an Ondes Martenot MIDI Controller.
Abe, who describes himself as “an amateur geek living in Tokyo”, loves to make DIY instruments. He used an Arduino to control the Korg Legacy Collection Mono/Poly software synth.
The Analogue Systems French Connection
In this video, Frankie Bellani demonstrates using the Analogue Systems French Connection to control a Dotcom System 110 modular synthesizer.
The French Connection is a control voltage keyboard controller that was inspired by the Ondes Martenot. It features a ring controller that allows for continuous pitch control.
The French Connection doesn’t make sounds on its own, but is used to control analog synths that support CV control.
Details on the French Connection are available at the Analogue Solutions site.
