LIKE NEW RESONATOR NEURONIUM

TOP MINT CONDITION, KEPT IN PRISTINE CONDITION!

Also have this up on eBay (seller Synthiverse), in case you had seen it there!

First two Photos are the actual unit,

and you can see the 003 serial number on the first photo.

Cylinder ribbon strips and glass dome not included, but you can add it yourself from the six audio outputs.

Strangest, most curious, eclectic synthesizer of amazing sounds.

8 of the 9 gold plated knobs are touch sensitive....

making this the world's first biofeedback synthesizer!

STORED IN A NON-SMOKING STUDIO,

IN SHIPPING BOX SINCE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED.  

ARGUABLY THE MOST RARE SYNTHESIZER EVER PRODUCED!

#3 OF ONLY 25 MADE (16 SOLD TO PUBLIC)

PERFECT WORKING - SAMPLED ONLY TWICE.

MEGA SCARCE SYNTHESIZER BY THE MAKER OF THE SUNSYN.

SOLD COMPLETE WITH MANUAL, WITH 110V POWER SUPPLIES.

AMAZING FEATURES OF THE ONE-OF-A-KIND NEURONAL SYNTHESIS.

NOTE: Glass display in photo 2&3 was never included...

However, you can add 6 ribbon strips for killer sound to your outputs!

If you can learn how to work it, you will be one of the most fascinating musicians on the planet next to Trent Reznor, who also owns of these beauties!

WILL INCLUDE:

2CDs of the Legendary Reznorator and Reznorator II soundtracks that were never released on CD to this date. The only way to obtain these prized legendary CDs in which all the music is performed with the Resonator Neuronium.



This is the first realisation of a device with Resonant Neuron Synthesis, called the "Resonator Neuronium".


The new paradigmas of the 21 century are called complexity, order from chaos, self organisation of complex systems, networking and cooperation. From a certain complexity onwards a system is not even the sum total of its parts but a greater whole which shows totally new attributes than its sub structures.


The Resonator Neuronium has 6 analog resonant neurons. The net parameters can be programmed by the lefthand structure in form of a hexagon by use of knobs, buttons and LEDs.


We have 6 neurons with 6x6 = 36 net connections for one parameter. In order that summation and FM is connected, we have 2x36 = 72 net connections with individual pots for each node.


Net Programming


The rotary knobs are touch-sensitive and allow the net links by a simple touch of the metal coated knobs. The intensities of "wi" or amounts are then displayed and edited by turning the respective knob of the receiving neuron. For better understanding, the routed net connection is displayed as a matrix-LED and displayed in the LCD as Tx (transmitter) -> Rx (receiver) value. If you have a summing net connection, LEDs light up green, with FM connections LEDs light up red.


The loops indicate the self-networking connection of a neuron. As described in the article, one can let the neuron become self oscillating by resonance or let it toggle swing with positive feedback dependent of the sign of the loop value.

The menu selection is made by the buttons within the hexagon to let the user not unnessecarily step through awkward menus. The menus are:


Summing Node


summing input node of the neuron


Neuron Frequency


basic frequency of the resonant neuron = cutoff


Frequency Modulation


frequency modulation input of the neuron


Stimulus Recombination


Recombination of wave segments (DNA) of the stimulus with other neuron's DNA by mating of the DNA


Stimulus Edit


Alteration (editing) of wave forms (DNA) of the stimulus of a neuron. Input by knobs at the LCD display.


Neuron Envelope


VCA envelope of each neuron with ADSR. Each neuron is led through an ADSR envelope which time-slices the signal and lets it being played from a midi keyboard.


Display/Menu


On the right side there is a 24 character LCD display placed with 6 soft buttons and 2 knobs. The pots at the display are used for different tasks, e.g. input of DNA waveform of the stimulus of a selected neuron. In the menu selection there are different things to be programmed, like e.g. the midi channel, multi mode (ranking of different channels to different neurons), VCA envelopes of the neurons and more. The rest of the keys is used for selection of the preset memory and the switching between main menu and edit menu.


All analog neurons in- and outputs are lead out through a 25 pin D-SUB connector at the console back. By this you can cascade 2 or more Resonators to a greater network.


In/Outputs


Two audio inputs are available who feed neuron 1 and 4. Thus you can use any kind of external signal to excite the network. So the Resonator becomes a tool for sound processing as well as a sound production instrument.


Each neuron has an own last stage VCA envelope with its own output. It is imagineable to let the outputs drive 6 single speakers in a room to form a sonic image installation; a sourround 5.1 application could be possible as well.


The 6 neurons with individual VCA envelopes get mixed again to a stereo mix with an additional VCA envelope. They are sent to the stereo outputs L=left and R=right. The odd neurons are sent to the left, the even ones to the right stereo channel.


Midi


At the back side there is the well-known midi trio to trigger the neuron envelopes and stimuli by an external keyboard or sequencer. Also certain CC controllers can be sent or received for parameter changes and neuron interactions.
