I am selling my Hartmann Neuron synthesizer - mint condition - for € 3.000.-. If you are interested send me an e-mail to pmm(at)petermmahr.com.
For your convenience I copied below an older blog entry from October 2007 (is that really that long ago?).

The Hartmann Neuron was and in a way still is a polarising instrument. For those who like to generate unique soundscapes it is a very interesting tool. Several people claim it only can sound harsh, cold and digital and you can get the same sounds with software synthesizers. Let’s hear if that is true and decide for yourself.
Do not expect the sound of a real Orchestra when listening to the first example.
Orchestral Pad
To me this sound includes in a way horns, strings and a bit the decay of a harpsichord at the end. All thrown together, shredded and put together again. Do you think this to be a harsh, cold and digital sound?
Next sound is one of my favourites and named “bebe Tara”. Originally planed to be used in a short diving movie, but the movie never made it.
By using the sticks (= “chanterelles”) you can influence some of the characteristics of the sound, depending on the model used. The reverb you hear is the internal one and to be honest, quite important for most of the sounds…
bebe Tara
In the last audio demo you can listen to several sounds I played in a row. Yes, some of them are scratchy, to me this is part of the “charme” of Neuron. Switching between sounds sometimes can take a while as Neuron always has to load the model.
several neuron sounds
Mass & Time
sounds like a motor saw recorded thru a phaser
Der Erzaehler
reminiscence to a project in the 90ies, has some Peter Gabriel “genes” in it
VP-1 Bellpad
very scratchy, but I love it
Didgeridoo
a factory sound, played a little bit with the chanterelles.. surprisingly does sound better then during playing
Wave Tubell Pad
used a Wave sample and “ReModellized” it, does not need further explanation, does it? Maybe your monitor boxes cannot reproduce the low end at the beginning.
Unisonal
to avoid any depressed listeners I am ending with a “happy sound” … mh… maybe not to happy for others, but at least happy for me. Chanterelles were used once more.
Last but not least - in case you ever have the chance to switch on a Neuron one… no, two recommendations. First put on your sun glasses before you switch on… but before that check the fuses :wink:.
If you want to know more about this machine, then visit hartmann-music’s website. There are more Hartmann Neuron related websites online with lots of informations, like the one from Sylvain Kepler or the dedicated Neuron Forum. And if you want to know more about Neuron Forum user “neuronaut” - he is what I call the brain, maybe DSP brain describes it more precisely, behind the Neuron - then it is a must to click here.

In the last days I was asked what the content of this blog will be. I will try to give some answers.
As I love the OASYS - which by the way was not always the case - everything on this weblog will be related to this production machine. The M3 is not the focus. First I do not have access to M3 data nor to the machine itself, second I do not have the time to deal with it too. Sorry.
Of course you will find here news related directly or indirectly to KORGs OASYS. I guess we all hope that this category gets filled quite often. 
Beside the news, tests and workshops will be published. They will mostly depend on the interest and feedback, which means it depends on you. At the moment the AL-1 is on schedule. Others will follow!
Of course there are the interviews. This category will for sure be continued. Some more are finished already and others are in the pipeline… as people like to say these days.
Why interviews? I am tired of reading interviews from “stars” getting interchangable “answers”. Not that this is their fault! Visiting several fora (forums?) I met a lot of people about whom I would like to know more about. And it seems that I am not the only one who is interested in the way, they compose, arrange or record. Interestingly… most of them are using or would like to use an OASYS. And even more interesting to me, most of them are willing to give an interview. So OASYS is the common denominator or link between them.
If you expect interviews only dealing about OASYS, then you will most likely be disappointed. It is all about the guest. The guests music, his or her projects, background, musical interest, opinions, etc… Getting sometimes an insight in the way someone is working, is at least for me, of high interest too.
This blog will be succesful if you get the feeling to receive informations, be it about the person, or for example how to solve a similar problem in your studio or about OASYS.
Please feel free to mail me any comment, be it that my english needs a lot of improvement :-), or if you have any other critics or suggestions…. positive feedback is of course welcome, too.
Thank you for your interest and thank you to Daz aka Darren Richards for beingt my first guest without knowing what will happen here!

Next Interview will go online Sunday 28th at 4.00 pm (central european time)
___________________________________________________________________
In den vergangenen Tagen wurde ich mehrfach gefragt, was hier zu finden sein wird. Ich möchte diese Gelegenheit nutzen, um die eine oder andere Antwort zu geben.
Mein über lange Zeit ambivalentes Verhältnis zu KORG’s OASYS ist nunmehr unverrückbar in den grünen Bereich gerutscht. Wobei dies wohl eine dezente Untertreibung ist und wenig mit dem Hersteller selbst zu tun hat.
Es ist derart lange her, dass ich von einem Musikinstrument so überzeugt war, dass ich mittlerweile vergessen habe um welches es sich vor dem OASYS gehandelt hat.
Daher werden Sie hier vorwiegend “Geschichten” zum und um KORGs OASYS finden. Der M3 wird nur eine Nebenrolle spielen. Dies liegt zum einen daran, dass ich keinen Zugriff auf dieses Instrument habe und zum anderen die Zeit lieber für den OASYS nutzen will. Zudem ist die “Unterstützung” - sofern man davon überhaupt sprechen kann - seitens Korg ohnedies rudimentär.
Natürlich gibt es hier eine Rubrik “News”. Verzeihen Sie mir die Anglizismen, aber die Ãœbersicht der Kategorien würde unter einer konsequenten Doppelsprachigkeit leiden. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass diese Rubrik reichlich mit OASYS relevanten Neuigkeiten gefüllt wird.
Neben den “News”, wird es “Testberichte” und “Workshops” geben. Derzeit ist als erster ein AL-1 Workshop geplant. Weitere sollen folgen, dies hängt aber in erster Linie vom Interesse und Feedback der LeserInnen - sprich von Ihnen - ab.
Wie Sie vielleicht schon gesehen haben, gibt es die Rubrik “Interviews”. Warum gerade hier Interviews? Zum einen bin ich es müde austauschbare Antworten von “Stars” in Interviews zu lesen, wenngleich es selten deren Schuld ist, zum anderen habe ich in den vergangenen Jahren eine Menge an Leuten getroffen von denen ich gerne mehr erfahren will. Ãœberraschenderweise sind es primär Leute, die entweder schon einen OASYS ihr Eigen nennen, oder gerne einen verwenden würden. Nicht minder überraschend ist das Feedback, das ich auf meine Anfragen erhalten habe. Als gemeinsamer Nenner all dieser Interviews ist KORGs OASYS zu sehen.
Wenn Sie nun aber glauben, hier werden technische Details abgefragt und alles dreht sich in den Interviews um den OASYS, dann muss ich Sie leider enttäuschen. In diesen Interviews steht der Gast und seine Musik im Vordergrund. Warum macht dieser Musik, wie arbeitet er/sie, welche Einflüsse hat es gegeben, bzw. gibt es noch immer, welche älteren und aktuellen, evtl. auch zukünftigen Projekte gibt es usw.
Dieser Weblog ist dann erfolgreich, wenn Sie hier Informationen finden, die für SIE von Interesse sind. Umso wichtiger ist daher auch Ihr Feedback. Wenn es einen Kritikpunkt gibt, lassen Sie es mich bitte wissen. Haben Sie einen Vorschlag? Gerne. Unter blogasys at petermmahr.com können Sie mich via e-mail erreichen.
Vorab vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse und vor allem vielen Dank an Daz alias Darren Richards der mit der Bereitschaft zum ersten Interview den Sprung ins kalte Wasser gewagt hat - Danke, Daz!

Das nächste Interview wird hier am Sonntag, den 28 Jänner um 16.00 mitteleuropäischer Zeit erscheinen.
