"Kaossilator has gone out of stock in every store in Tokyo. So I think I'm lucky to have this one. It's great fun playing with this gear. Definitely fun."

Ding-a-Dong on Yamaha Electone HX-3


YouTube via Tonneman.
"The original song 'Ding-a-Dong' was performed by the Dutch group 'Teach-in' on the Eurovision song contest in 1975, which they won.

In this video I play the song on a Yamaha organ, the Electone HX-3. This instrument was first released in 1987 and mainly uses FM-voices (some AWM voices).

All you hear is played in one take on the HX-3. No other instruments or equipment are involved. Drums are programmed in the HX-3's internal sequencer."

DSI Prophet '08 Samples

"Dave Smith's brand new analog synthesizer Prophet '08 is among our favourites, and for sure it will be also used extensively for our forthcoming productions! Below links features some of the Prophet '08 programs written by Kürşat Pasinlioğlu. He is currently working on a new track that will be exclusively produced with Prophet '08, and it will be available in our myspace page."

"There is not a lot of info out there but here below take a look at the original Japanese ad. She works perfectly notwithstanding the fact that it was produced in 1974. Please admire the latch to hide the AC plug! It was the world's first velocity-sensitive electric piano, so now you know we are talking history here. Sounds: 2 Pianos and 2 Harpsichord. Volume, tone, and tremolo. Headphone and pedal jacks. Touch sensitive keys. Bass end switch. Here below a video of myself playing around with the beast."

SCREAM 2007: ANALOGLIVE! - Instrument List

Via Peter Grenader on the Plan B list:
"as of Friday all of the ensemble performers have arrived in the Los Angeles area, with Richard coming in from Atlanta and Thighpaulsandra making the long trek from Wales. We begin work early in the week in a sound stage before commencing formal rehearsals in the theater on Thursday afternoon.

As far as the equipment we'll be using, we've put together an orchestra of oscillators: Off the top of my head - three rather large Plan B systems, a Doepfer/Plan B/Livewire system, Arp 2600, two cabinets of Aries, one nine panel and a medium-sized three panel Serge fitted with a custom Plan B model 13, the largest Wiard system in the world, an EMS Synthi-AKS, the EAR Performance system, a Buchla 200e, Nord Modular, a Novation, a Waldorf Wave, two tcelectronic reverbs (a 2000 and 60000), tons of delays and a Yamaha SPX90. Controller include a C-Thru-Music Axis, a Continuum Fingerboard, a Doepfer PK88 and MAQ 16/3, Roland A-33, a Fatar workstation and an Analogue Systems French Connection.

Along with a wall of effect racks, Chas Smith will be bringing two of his own instruments: the Guitarilla and the Towers. Guitarzilla is a steel guitar made of machined aluminum and welded titanium tubing. It has a 12 string neck tuned to a diatonic scale and an 8-string bass neck. It is also fitted with a small waterless Waterphone-type instrument which is bowed. The Towers are eight 1 1/4" diameter grade 9 titanium rods with titanium plates welded on the ends which are both bowed and struck with a variety of mallets. The longest Tower is 109", standing over 10 feet tall in it's hanger, and the shortest is 55". They have been cut to form a scale which can be obliterated by the complexity of the sounds that the plates generate. They're sonically and visually majestic, bordering on astonishing. Go here for a photo:

We will be performing six pieces, one each from the six players, all of which performed by the ensemble - it's not a series of solo performances. Three of the pieces will be world premiers."

CSS - Alcohol

YouTube via subpoprecords. New vids below. I almost didn't put this up for the lack of identifiable synth content, but then I realized the animation falls under the same category as the synth minatures! So here it is. "Fairlight and ARP Odyssey meets Yamaha CS60, meets KORG MS2000 and an Akai thown in for fun." Definitely a fun song. I'm guessing they actually use little Casio home synths as seen in the video below. If you know what they use feel free to comment. Video description: "Brazil's wonderful party dance explosion CSS have a new video for the song Alcohol off of their debut album Cansei De Ser Sexy. The video was directed by contsest winner/awesome director Jared Eberhardt. Watch some bunnies get drunk ." And for APPLE fans, the tune from the Apple Touch commercial:   CANSEI DE SER SEXY Music is My Hot Hot Sex
