"this is an alternate audio version to the original. a toy music box's sound drives the envelope follower on the Buchla 200e Electric Music Box's System Interface (225e) as well as provides the modulating signal for the Korg Radias' vocoder (the Buchla 200e provides the carrier).

all sound is generated by the Buchla 200e Electric Music Box and is processed by the Korg Radias' vocoder."

100% korg ds10 - Silent Night


YouTube via ChrisLody
"Merry Christmas!

Just a little lofi version of silent night I knocked together a couple of weeks ago whilst I was ill. Nothing too fancy.

My wife Esme recorded the video yesterday while we were driving back from town after a heavy snow fall, it was handheld so its a little shaky. Its basically an xmas version of my video for Parallax but I think it works well.

Also trying out a good bit of free video editing software that can import mp4 directly off my little fuji camera. its called VideoPad video aeditor by NCH software. Well worth a try."

Waldorf Blofeld Sound on Sound Review

via this auction, posted on MATRIXSYNTH-B. You can find the full June 2008 review on Sound on Sound here.

"In 2004 it looked like game over for Waldorf, but the German company are back, and with a hardware synth that more than lives up to their former reputation...

Named after James Bond's pussy-fondling antagonist, the Blofeld is the first product from a revitalised Waldorf Music GmbH. Unlike Donald Pleasance's portrayal of the sinister Spectre overlord, Waldorf's Blofeld is benign and refreshingly free of cat hairs, thus should be welcome around your house, studio or secret base."

Korg Prophecy Classic Synthesizer Keyboard

via this auction BIN: GBP 275.00
"The Korg Prophecy is considered one of the earliest (mid-nineties) "virtual analog" (a.k.a. VA) synthesizers, although its synthesis capabilities went beyond many of its VA contemporaries.

Along with the Korg Trinity, this little synth is a direct ancestor of the ill-fated (and sci-fi at the time) OASYS project. It was a small 3-octave monosynth, a pioneer of the late 90's "return-to-analog" trend. Offering assignable knobs, a "log controller" (a mix-up of a modulation wheel and ribbon controller assembled like a "sausage") and many other control sources, it invited players to tweak and shape the sound both easily and quickly. Deep editing, however, wasn't as straightforward, because the sound engine contained no less than 13 DSP-modelled oscillator types, each one offering too many parameters to adjust.

Probably, the most valued and used DSP models were the analog model (based on the classic osc+filter+amp scheme, although with many powerful enhancements), the VPM model (some sort of FM synthesis which cleverly avoided Yamaha's FM patent) and the "physical modeling" algorithms. The latter deserves special mention; in the mid-late 90's, it was believed that physical modeling, which recreated the sound of acoustic instruments (brass, strings, woodwinds, etc.) using DSP algorithms instead of samples, would eventually replace sample-based version of those instruments, because of its unprecedented realism and expressivity. As time passed, physical modelling seemed to lose its appeal to both manufacturers (because of the cost of investigation and implementation) and final users, who complained about the realism of the models and limited polyphony. Also, more complex playing techniques were required to play the models in a convincing way. Nevertheless, the Prophecy's low cost and broad implementation of sound generation techniques earned it a significant place in synthesizer history."

"Here is a recent photo of a group of Monorocket cases about to be delivered. These are mostly presold but they represent an increase in production from the company. We're getting more and more cases and hopefully soon various colors will ship from stock. The distribution boards will also be available seperately starting this week. See the Rtopia blog for more details. LINK: rtopia.blogspot.com/." http://monorocket.com/

Make Noise: ¡Access Denied!

flickr by Analogue Haven
http://analoguehaven.com/
"Here's a sneak peak of a forthcoming Make Noise module, a touch sequencer tentatively called ¡Access Denied!. The sequencer aligns its step data in a matrix on the left side of the module and offers further user input on the right side via tactile pads. Obviously they will not be so large in the final version of the module, the user interface will shrink down to make everything more compact. ¡Access Denied! is a work in progress and the features are still being decided. There will be a few other Make Noise modules released before this one. LINK: twitter.com/makenoisemusic." http://makenoisemusic.com/

JH Polymoog Resonator + voltage control and Voice of Saturn

JH Polymoog Resonator + voltage control and Voice of Saturn from Travis Thatcher on Vimeo.

"Quick demo of the JH Polymoog Resonator module. I added voltage control using 6 vactrols, 2 for each frequency band in paralel with the dual pots that control the frequency offset.

Still need to work out a better way to get direct sound."

GorF Version 1.00 Hardware DIY Sequencer

via Vacoloco Ramblings where you will find more details.

"Well, it’s finally here.
I’ve managed to get some time this week and put in the last few touches. We now have support for 64 sequences, 8 banks, each with 8 sequences. You’ll need to have the I2C EEPROM to get banks 2 - 8 to work, and they’re a little bit slower when loading and saving, so you’ll get a bit of a hiccup using these, sorry nothing I can about that."

Hooked On Bach

Update via 3P in the comments: "I remember this photo from a '70s vintage 3M (Scotch) tape magazine ad. IIRC, the lead copy said "If Bach were alive today, he's be recording on Scotch tape." Then they went on hawking consumer 1/4" and cassette tape. Maybe that's why 3M's audio division went belly up.
What balls!"

YouTube via squidfanny
"As requested, an ACTUAL DEMO vid to show some of the GLITCH Mods on this mega-sampler.

10 minute's isn't enough time to even scratch the surface of what this machine can do, but it gives a rough idea of how the GLITCH modifications sound.

I have a couple of other vids for this machine, check them out if you like.......

Sorry for poor vid and audio quality, I used a shitty bit of software called 'camtasia' which has totally crushed my vid files......

Rate the vid, leave a comment, Subscribe if you like, put the kettle on and I'll skin up.....................

PEACE"

DSI TETRA - On The Run - PINK FLOYD Cover


YouTube via gattobus
"This is my obsession... everytime I buy a new synth with a built in step sequencer, this is the first thing I try to do... "On The Run"!

...and this time I got an incredible result from this tiny little beast.

All you hear comes from only one single instrument:
the DSI Tetra...
Recorded one shot, no overdub.

Hope you like it !

:-P"

It's basically a record of some hijinks using my Folktek Custom Bug and Folktek Golden Keys (processing a Chimera bC 16 Patchable Synth.

Roland jx3p sound demo part 1


YouTube via se7ense7
"No bullshit, only preset sounds. Why? Because there is TOO much bullshit being talked about this synth. It does NOT sound anything like a Juno 60 (I know, I have one), it CAN sounds fat, it CAN sound very thin too... No you don't NEED the programmer to edit this synth... if you just spend some time getting to know the controls, you can just make any normal sound within a minute... the second video is more editting orientated...

No Bullshit demo, because there is told TOO much bullshit about this synth.
You CAN edit it without a PG200. It's just as easy as any other synth, it 's just that it's only one parameter at a time. If you learn this synth and you get to know the controls, it's safe to say you can make allmost every regular sounds within a minute...

I use this synth in every song I make...
