I could be wrong about that. I can't tell what the hardware is. Anyhow, beautiful video. While I was watching I thought to myself, "I wonder why I'm not watching this on MusicThing"? I think it's a vectorscope - one commenter suggests from an SSL 9000. Anyone know more? Anyone willing to buy TVOTR a decent video camera?
UPDATE: It looks a lot like a DK MSD200. Thanks, Kåre.
synth? it's clearly a rhodes.
ReplyDeleteWavelab does this when you are recording - it doesn't have the same analogue beauty, but is anyhow pretty mesmerizing.
Possibly not a synth. The tag reads "rhodes", which seems to imply to me it's a distorted rhodes (or patch) and some delay to me. Which I often like better than synths anyway :)
ReplyDeleteah, beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a Stereo version of the DK MSD600M++5.1 meter made by DK. The best digital metering I've ever used.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a MSD 200 which has a yellow EL-display. That model was made by dk-audio (now DK-Technologies) some years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe audio vector scope (the middle part of the display) is a really cool tool for seeing all kind of properties of a stereo signal.

Amazing. Maybe Windows Screensaver is inspired in this :)
ReplyDeleteprobably the other way around

I would guess its the scope from an SSJ 9000 J board, specifically the one at Chalice Studios in West Hollywood. I only can guess at this based on the fact that the folks from tv on the radio (david specifically, who was on the lemonade/maple syrup/cayenne pepper diet at the time) were mixing across the way while I was mixing my album with spike stent for a few weeks in june/jul at the SSL G board there at chalice. btw the nin year zero also was mixed by reznor and a.moulder at that same board. amazing studio, that chalice.
ReplyDeleteI second the SSL comment, from the one I saw at the old track record studios.
ReplyDeleteYes it is From a SSL 4 Sure
ReplyDeleteits just a Lissajous waveform of the stereo audio.
