I, Parasite on Facebook

2009-11-10T23:43:44Z

Oh, I forgot to mention here that thanks to our guitarist Nino, I, Parasite is finally officially on Facebook.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-Parasite/141809905454

I don't monitor or run it, but there it is.

Look what I did

2009-11-06T17:52:05Z

I converted the Frac modules I didn't sell to banana jacks yesterday. Somehow I killed an IC in the Binary Zone (ordering a new one today), but otherwise it went rather well. I'm following the Modcan banana jack color scheme. The Wave Folder looks particularly sharp in grey, white, and yellow.

Selling some of my modular synth

2009-10-01T03:20:31Z

This wasn't an easy decision, but I have some needs and a plan to achieve them, so I'm selling most of my Frac system. I'm keeping a few modules that I plan on bananafying. Everything is in good condition. I've gigged with this system twice. Everything was built by the respective manufacturer.

Pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/parasitk/tags/fracsystem/

I can knock a little more off if you buy whole Frac Rack worth of modules, or go crazy and buy the whole system.

Prices don't include shipping. I'll sell to anywhere in the world, but you pay for insurance/tracking/all that good stuff. I take paypal and/or Modcan A Series modules for payment (looking for: SixPac enclosure, VCDO, DVDO, and QuadLFO (03a – the older, analog version) to start).

UPDATE Oct 23: Almost everything sold! Only KlangWerk and Multiples left!

Some non-modular gear for sale

2009-09-24T19:43:37Z

I take PayPal. I'll ship anywhere on and off of the planet, but you pay shipping/tracking/insurance.

Roland JD-800 - $400
Lived in my smoke free studio. I just used it as a MIDI controller. It has two broken keys from me leaning on it one day. :doh: Otherwise works fine. Includes an M256-E memory card. See pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/parasitk/tags/jd800/
It's rather large and heavy, so it'd probably be best for both parties if this were a local NY/NJ/PA/CT thing. SOLD!

Roland R8M - $150
Good condition. Includes manual. Bought second hand, but works great. Very cool unit, but redundant with my TD-10. Includes the hard to find SN-R8-04 Electronic card! This is currently at my rehearsal studio in NY, so no pics at the moment. I'll bring it home this weekend.

Alesis ModFX Philtre - $50
No longer made. Pretty neat. I might have the manual, but it's pretty damn easy!
http://alesis.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/1372/tt/5
SOLD!

Arius Blaze/ISM Spacebox 323 - make an offer
Circuit bent Casio SK-1. 4x4 RCA patch bay, 4 switches, 1 knob, 1 button, 1/4" out, lots of chaotic messy sounds.

Some info here: http://ismsynth.tripod.com/sightssounds.html
SOLD!

geek talk is geeky

2009-09-06T19:37:48Z

So I don't overwhelm anyone here with potentially boring synth chatter, I've been keeping a blog at http://parasitk.blogspot.com/ about my DIY synth activities. I'm slowly building myself a performance suitcase synthesizer mainly for playing live with I, Parasite or The Pseudomancer. Check it out (or don't!).

NYC modular synth geek meet ups

We've been doing these things in NY for the last two months. Here are some highlights, unfortunately captured on a Coolpix camera...

June '09 NYC Wiggler Meetup from Christopher Jon on Vimeo.

Cats and modular synths in NYC. Sorry for shitty quality, but all I had on me was a Coolpix camera, and I had to document some of the weird noises we were getting.

Studio is back

2009-06-12T22:43:25Z

I spent all week clearing out the room I'm staying in, and finished setting up my studio again today. It's been packed/in pieces for almost a year now.

Feels good to be back.

I can't seem to take a clear pic for the life of me with this damn point-n-click camera. Anyway, AHNE was a lot of fun. Met some cool people. Wish I could have brought up my modular synth, maybe next time!
