Sunday Synth Jam: Ken MacBeth of MacBeth Studio Systems demonstrates the gorgeous MacBeth Mk1 ‘Majestic 12’ System in operation.
It’s basically four analog synthesizers in one.
Each synth features:
- 3x VCO
- 1 x Mixe
- 1 x 24dB/Octave Transistor Ladder Filter
- 1 x 12dB/Octave State Variable Filter
- 2 x Dual Envelope Generators, with built in output VCAs
This was recorded directly into a Canon 60D. The sequencer used is an Ensoniq ASR-10, driving a Kenton Pro4 four-channel MIDI to CV converter.
thats fucking amazing! if i had one, i would never leave the house 😀
Well done Kenny Boy!!!
Great machines and I respect your commitment to your work with building synthesizers.
When money allows I would love one of your machines. The panel designs and spacing of pots is top notch design. Great great sound too.
Will there ever be a Macbeth with memories? I emailed this question to your site but got no reply.
