I don't know what I am doing.. but I have done it. At the request of others... here is what I did! Please let me know where I have made any errors.

By the way... these modules and Power supply are for sale, as I have some others on order. Price is 25% off new. Includes all cords. No pressure.

By the way... linear is a better setting than the logarithmic one I had been using. For me, anyway.

  • Thomas came to my city to play Ondes Martenot in a performance of the Turangalila Symphony by Messiaen. If you are in Paris, where he lives, there should be several players available to teach you.

  • are ondes martenot hard to find? it looks like yours is a simple set up

  • They are very rare. The Frrench Connection is almost a poor country cousin to the Ondes. Still it works! Thomas Bloch, a famous Ondes player, tells me there is a "real" Ondes that is not too far away from reality. I'll keep people posted here.

  • I spy a continuum fingerboard and monome :|

  • Yeah... I went a bit crazy with instruments I think! I plan to sell many of them off actually!

  • could you tell me the dimensions of the French connection??

  • Sorry, in a moment I regret, I sold mine. Anyone else have the dimensions?

  • Can you tell me exactly what synthesizer modules you are using?

  • Hello friend, I would like to know the number model of your VCO and VCA modules. They are always RS (and some number). Thank you very much.

  • i have a french connection as well but at the same time i also bought a spawn system from analogue systems and they work pretty perfectly together to get all the different variations of the ondes martenot sound. how have you been in touch with thomas bloch? i'm really interested in getting some tutoring for ondes martenot.

  • u have NO idea how hard they are to find, and those damn french connections cost about 3000 dollars. :(

  • ok well

    do you know if I could run it through a Future retro xs semi modular

    I dont know there is only one cv in on the xs

    but I guess you would have to have a cv 2 log or lin also??
