Title A name given to the resource EMS Vocoder Subject The topic of the resource EMS Vocoder Description An account of the resource Electronic Music Studios, Ltd, London, EMS Vocoder, late 1970s Metal, plastic, electronic components On loan from MESS Ltd EMS first released a large Vocoder in 1976, and this simplified, lower-cost, compact version was released the following year. The instrument was designed for use with the human voice. EMS promotional material for the instrument stated: Its main purpose is to impose the articulation of a voice onto another sound, thereby making it speak or sing. Such sounds (excitations) can be derived from any audio source: for instance musical sounds from an organ, guitar or symphony orchestra; unmusical sounds such as the roar of an aeroplane, the snarl of a lion, the clatter of a typewriter and the synthetic sounds such as a synthesizer or the Vocoder’s own voltage controlled oscillator or noise generator. In each case the sounds are made to talk or sing or resonate with the intonation, expression and meaning of an input voice, which may be derived live from a microphone or from a recording. It is of course possible to impose the articulation of a non-speech sound on to the excitation. For instance, the characteristics of a violin on to those of a saxophone … In this way, musicians who are not expert in synthesizers can produce marvellous effects with the minimum of electronic technique by mainly relying on their own musical expertise.

Title A name given to the resource EMS Spectre video synthesizer Subject The topic of the resource EMS Spectre video synthesizer Description An account of the resource Electronic Music Studios, Ltd, London, EMS Spectre video synthesizer, 1974–75 Metal, plastic, electronic components On loan from MESS Ltd Designed by Richard Monkhouse of EMS, the Spectre is a hybrid video synthesizer, combining both analogue and digital techniques. It uses the EMS patchboard system to allow completely flexible connections between module inputs and outputs. The video signals are digital, but they are controlled by analogue voltages. The instrument includes a digital patchboard for image composition, and an analogue patchboard for motion control. The prototype was said to have been used to provide a projected light show for an early Tangerine Dream concert at the London Rainbow. This particular instrument is not part of the Grainger Museum Electronic Music Studio. It is currently on loan to the MESS Collection. It was recently rediscovered by David Chesworth, literally ‘under the bed’ of a friend, who had been minding it for the owners who had moved overseas.

Title A name given to the resource Synthi 100 Subject The topic of the resource EMS Synthi 100 Description An account of the resource This photograph was taken of the EMS Synthi 100 in 2017, in its current home at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne. This instrument was originally part of the Grainger Electronic Music Studio. The Synthi 100 used new oscillator and filter components and was more stable than its predecessor, the VCS3 MK1. It was driven by 12 VCOs and featured a built-in oscilloscope, two 60 x 60 patchbays, two joystick controllers, dual five-octave velocity-sensitive keyboard controllers and a three-layer, 10,000 step, 256 dual note digital sequencer. This system was mounted in a free-standing console cabinet. Tristram Cary assisted in the setup of the Synthi 100 in the Grainger Museum in 1973, with Keith Humble and technician Jim Sosnin. When Humble and Sosnin left the University of Melbourne to go to La Trobe University, technician Les Craythorn began his long association with the instrument. Les can be seen in the video made by ABC Television in 1976, displayed later in this exhibition, recreating Percy Grainger’s Free Music with the Synthi 100. Late in the 1980s the instrument went into storage, as people’s attention turned away from analogue to the convenience of digital machines. Craythorn has been centrally involved in restoring the Synthi 100 since 2014, and the instrument is once again actively used in research and performance.

Title A name given to the resource Percy Grainger, (n.d) Subject The topic of the resource Photograph Description An account of the resource digital print from scanned sheet film. Looking like a contemporary depiction of the martyrdom of Saint Anthony, the original purpose of this photograph has been lost. Grainger is depicted in silhouette, and the original negative has been intriguingly chemically reversed—the negative has become a positive. What do the hand-drawn arrows refer to? What is the purpose of the frame surrounding his figure? Grainger used alpha-numeric nomenclature to organise his archive but the number 7969 does not relate to any known lists.
