Sunsyn Quick Demo
YouTube Uploaded by ricel1992 on Mar 25, 2011
"Just got the Sunsyn in yesterday, still learning to program this beast! It really is the most interactive/inspiring/wonderful sounding synth I have ever played. Blows away the Andromeda in my opinion!

SYNERGY SYNTHESIZER VOICE CARTRIDGE MODIFICATION
via this auction
"INSTANT ACCESS TO ALL 500-PLUS VOICES IN THE SYNERGY SYNTHESIZER VOICE LIBRARY... This cartridge modification uses a Zero Insertion Force socket and 23 EPROMS to give you instant access to all of the timbres (voices) in the Synergy voice library, plus the 3 Wendy Carlos cartridges and a rare custom cartridge containing unique voices created by a Synergy synthesizer user with a Synergy II+.
The Synergy voice library cartridges are: L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10, L11, L12, L13 and VCART1, CART2, VCART3, VCART4, VCART5, VCART 6. The 3 Wendy Carlos cartridges are W1, W2 and W3. And the unique custom cartridge is C1. That's a grand total of 552 timbres -- 24 of them unique to this custom cartridge and created by a Synergy II+ user and not available anywhere else. (I used to think there were only 2 Carlos cartridges, but it turns out there are 3, and I was able to track down the third one, as well as a rare custom cartridge. That's why the total mentioned in the YouTube video is 504 voices.)"

"If you own a Synergy synthesizer (either a I or II+) this cartridge modification will bring new life and new depth and new brilliance to your instrument. You'll discover new worlds of timbre, from subtle realistic acoustic-sounding timbres to exotic digital computerlike soundscapes. The Synergy was capable of creating diaphanous sounds as delicate as a butterfly's wing, or raucous digital timbres as intense as a Mack truck. This cartridge mod contains the full sweep of the timbres created for this unique digital synthesizer (one of the first and most powerful digital synthesizers ever designed) to reveal the synth's full capabilities. If all you've ever heard is the internal Synergy timbres or one or two Synergy voice cartridge, this voice cartridge modification with its 23 EPROMS will shock you and amaze you."

Reaktor Tutorial - Additive Synthesis
YouTube via Uploaded by pointblankonline on Mar 25, 2011
"http://www.pointblankonline.net/sound-design-course.php Native Instruments have just launched their latest Reaktor Synth called Razor and it is causing quite a stir in the sound design and production communities. So what makes this synth so exciting? Well it is down to a process called additive synthesis.
Put in the plainest terms possible, additive synthesis is the summation of simple tones to create more complex ones.
The sound is constructed from partials (or frequency components) firing in parallel, changing amplitude and even frequency over time. Additive synthesis is a very powerful sound design tool because the many micro-variations in the frequency and amplitude of individual partials mirrors those that makes natural sounds so rich and lively, and the resulting sound remains clear and precise at all times, even when heavily modulated.
This video demonstrates how to go about building an additive synth in Reaktor plus an overview of some of the other techniques that you will learn on the Point Blank Online Sound Design course ( http://www.pointblankonline.net/sound-design-course.php ). Even this fairly simple example consisting of just 8 partials, you can begin to hear how an additive synth can create an impressively rich and malleable sound. So when you think that Razor's additive engine consists of up to 320 partials you can start to see why everyone is so eager to get their hands on it!"

Zeta Synthony II Violin MIDI controller w Synth
via this auction"The Synthony II is Zeta’s proprietary MIDI controller with a built-in sound synthesizer. The unit includes a pitch-to-MIDI converter that recognizes the analog notes generated by Zeta’s E-Series, Strados Series or Jazz Series pickups and converts the analog signal into digital MIDI information. This MIDI information allows the Synthony to create sounds, and/or send digital information to other MIDI devices, including the ability to access computer software programs such as music notation and publishing programs.
The Synthony II allows the string player to access the world of MIDI and digital information using their Zeta instrument as a MIDI controller. It is no longer necessary for the string player to use a piano keyboard or computer keyboard in order to access MIDI or create MIDI files. The string player can use the Zeta instruments to create MIDI music files with full bowing nuances and expression, opening the door to use of MIDI in education, studio recording, live performances, and in the exploding world of digital internet uses.
Open a whole new world of musical creativity and add this Synthony to your electric violin today!"No pics of the Violin controller, but you can them online.

Moog Etherwave Theremin with extended pitch range demo
YouTube Uploaded by TechnikAlsace on Mar 24, 2011
"This recording of Rachmaninoff's Vocalise Op. 34 has absolutely no musical value. I'm not a musician, I'm a theremingénieur.... So this is a demonstration of my most recent development - a small module which is soldered onto the Etherwave's circuit board and which extends the pitch range of this theremin by somewhat more than 1.5 octaves towards lower frequencies. The player will feel a much more stable and linear pitch field, even very far away from the pitch antenna. At the same time, the bass range of this instrument does not longer sound like a dying motorbike...
As the theremin goes very low, small computer speakers will perhaps not allow you to hear the extended bass in acceptable quality. Try using headphones or an external sound system...

PythagorasHasPythagoreanTuning.m4v
YouTube Uploaded by rrr00bb on Mar 24, 2011
"When I first drew out the just circle of fifths, I noticed that this was extremely close to a 53 equal note per octave tuning. This allows the strings to be tuned in exact Just fourths to each other and have the tuning be close (to the pixel) with the harmonic series. The point of tuning systems is to closely match harmonic series, of which Pythagorean tunings (circle of Just 5ths) is the simplest and most ancient. This allows you to play fretlessly without a lot of inharmonic slop, because the fret width is about the same size as the inaccuracy of the touch itself. In Mugician, fretlessness was to the pixel which has inaccuracies of its own. In Pythagoras, the tuning is sub-pixel so that each spot is some reasonable ratio with fifths and octaves as prime factors (ie: 2^n * 3^m)."
