OXYGENE 4 cover
YouTube via nordlead22. sent my way via fischek. This one goes out to fabio!
"Here's my first, rather rough but totally live cover of Jarre's Oxygene 4. Sequenced from scratch, track by track on my ASQ10. There are no samples. I am playing the 2 main themes ( apart from the swap-over where I give it back to the sequencer to free my hands to adjust channel settings on the desk and allow for the program change) Apologies for the sound quality. Give me your opinions please. Far superior covers at www.zoolook.nl (matt222)
Nordlead 2; Minipops, bass,sequence, 2 themes - second through the Electric Mistress.
JP8000; Pad -through Smallstone Phaser, solina string sound underlaying main theme.
JD800; White noise 'pssssss'
WALDORF Q; squiggly resonant noise at end ( difficult to hear)
CS1X; Eminent string sound
DW6000; White noise through Smallstone."

Looking for a Moog under $200
This one came through AH from someone searching the archives. This is real. Note the date.

Subject: What are the best Moogs (non-modular)
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 13:46:04 -0700
Lets talk Moogs. Is the Minimoog the best choice for a good
sounding non-modular Moog synth? It doesn't seem to have that many
controls-- I want something I can really fool around with--- maybe I'm just
talking out of my rear-- I don't know-- I just need someone to reassure me.
:-) Also-- at the present, I am looking for a good working Moog synthezier
at the price of $200 or below. Thank you very much."

Vermona Perfourmer
via this auction by noisebug
"The PERFOURMER is a true analog synthesizer, providing a nearly unlimited diversity of basses, leads, pads and effect sounds through its incredibly flexible sound generation circuitry and its easy user interface. In addition, the PERFOURMER can be used as a complex filterbank with its 6 filter inputs!
Even though the PERFOURMER is not a modular system, you can configure its structure as a semi-modular. The basic concept is reminiscent of classic synthesizers like the Oberheim 4-Voice or the Korg MONO/POLY.
The PERFOURMER consists of four voices. Each of them is a completely separate synthesizer which can be played and tweaked individually . You can link the synthesizer channels in any combination with each other and play them in three modes. The PERFOURMER's four synthesizer channels are identical and have the following structure:
* One VCO with six waveforms, which are divided into two different octaves and a noise generator which produces white noise. The pitch can be adjusted smoothly in a range of +/- 13 halftones.
* A 4-pole lowpass filter with resonance and variable keytrack.
* A fast ADSR envelope that can modulate the VCA and VCF.
* A LFO with four waveforms which modulates the VCO frequency and the CUTOFF frequency, as well as the VCA.
* One VCA that can be modulated by the ADSR envelope, a fixed GATE envelope or the LFO.
The synthesizer channels 1 to 3 can function as modulator for their neighbouring synthesizer channel. For example, synthesizer 1 can modulate the VCO frequency and the CUTOFF frequency of synthesizer 2. Or synthesizer 2 can modulate synthesizer 3, etc. The modulation intensity can be adjusted separately for VCO and VCF.
All four synthesizer channels can be linked in arbitrary fashion and can be used in one of the following three modes:
* UNISON: All combined channels work as one monophonic synthesizer.
* DUOPHONIC: This mode separates the PERFOURMER into a two-voice synthesizer. Synthesizer 1 and 2 are voice no. one and synthesizer 3 and 4 work as voice no. two.
* POLYPHONIC: All combined channels work as a polyphonic synth.
Depending on the selected mode and in which way the synthesizer channels are combined, the PERFOURMER can be used as a fat monophonic synthesizer with 4 oscillators, 4 filters, 4 VCAs, etc., but also as a two, three, or four voice polyphonic synthesizer.
All synthesizer channels, that aren't combined with any other, work as simple monophonic synthesizers.
The PERFOURMER has six filter inputs.
There is one filter input per channel. The input signal will be added to the oscillator's signal of the respective channel. On the rear panel of the PERFOURMER are two more inputs that are routed in parallel to all four synthesizer channels and which can be used alternatively to the oscillators' signal.
The CUTOFF frequencies of the single synthesizer channels can be controlled by MIDI.
As well as the filter inputs, there are individual outputs per channel that can also be used as a channel insert. It's easy to connect the PERFOURMER to other equipment! It's also possible to tap the unprocessed VCO signal from each synth channel.
You can increase the sonic possibilities of the PERFOURMER by "internal patching" between the channels. For example, you can create a synthesizer that consists of two PERFOURMER channels with two envelope generators and LFOs. It's also possible to double the slope of the filters by connecting two of them in a row."

Decimort
"Low quality sometimes is desiredThe Decimort effect unit is from the SilverLine family of plugins. It is a premium grade bit crusher. The complex and advanced signal processing algorithms within Decimort simulate the behaviour of the whole sampling path which exists in every AD/DA converter.
Decimort has no internal aliasing. The only aliasing effect present in the system is the modelled aliasing of the classic samplers we modelled when creating it. Undesired artefacts are not present in the processed signal. Only wanted artefacts remain. A further very steep low-pass filter, synchronised to the signal frequency, can be applied at the end of the signal path to absolutely ensure that no unwanted out-of-band signals remain."

"Earlier this year, I was commissioned to produce a pack of samples that would've been sold for about $40 a download. I would've been compensated with $1250 (that's about 12 Euros, 2 Pounds or 5 billion Yen) but after many months of spotty communication and general shady activity, I decided to step away and release the pack through Trash_Audio for a quarter of the price."See the write-up on TRASH_AUDIO

"This is a minor preview of the 4 x 4 step 1V/Octave Sequencer for modular synthesizers, that I have designed.
This short video has only 2 of the 4 steps of Semitone rotary switches - each set playing a simple melody.
The completed sequencer will have 4 sets of 4 step semitone rotary switches and 4 sets of 4 step octave rotary switches sequencers. Steps will be accessible both horizonatally and vertically."
