Weird Sound Generator
Weird Sound Generator from dalas verdugo on Vimeo.
"I built this synthesizer kit. At first I thought it was broken, but after Jason helped me troubleshoot the circuit I realized that the audio jack was just wired wrong.
This panel is just temporary for putting the whole thing together. I'm going to build a better enclosure to stick everything inside of that will look better than cardboard and ink jet printout.

I For One Welcome Our New Digital Overlords
flickr by _mpd_. full size"I sold the Moog LP and bought a Waldorf Blofeld. It seems to kick major ass.
The modulation matrix is pretty insane in that you can do weird things like route the pitch bend amount to FM amounts and have the sustain pedal increase LFO speed. (Actually it's a lot more powerful than that). Fun."

Nintendo Entertainment System: Finding New Ways To Entertain
YouTube via gearwire
"Alex from GetLoFi.com shows us a modified Nintendo system that may not play games, but it does play some nostalgia inducing eight-bit noises. I'd like to see a Nintendo DJ use one of these explosions to rile up a crowd.
Check out this video to see what goes into such a transformation, and get an idea of what kind of planning is involved in Nintendo manipulation.
See more on Gearwire.com."

"An interview with Frederic Brun the President of Arturia on their new hardware synthesizer "Origin".
Origin is the first Arturia Hardware synthesizer. It is a modular system of a new generation opening innovative avenues in sound design.
Loaded with modules extracted from the best synthesizers of all time (Moog Modular, ARP 2600, CS-80, minimoog and Prophet VS) Origin lets you combine these modules and benefit from the additional possibilities put onboard. The result: a new type of sound accessible through an extremely intuitive interface."

Waldorf Wave in Garage Band?
via the Waldorf list"there is a Waldorf WAVE shown in the new GarageBand version for the Mac OS 10.5."
Update via Qwave in the comments:
"One might notice the missing disk drive. And the label above the mixer section (just left of the gray center section) is missing like on most WAVEs.
My 15 year old son found the WAVE in the GarageBand software on his Mac. And he told me about it. He knows the look of a WAVE, because he saw mine so many times.
There is also a Minimoog in the new GarageBand version. Another synth my son is able to name. Here is a snapshot done by my son showing the Minimoog:http://www.till-kopper.de/Minimoog@GarageBand.png"
