DIY Drum Synth

Flypen - Draw your own keyboard and drums

Cool little computer on a pen. You can draw objects on anything and use it. Two things you can draw are a keyboard and a drum set. It has sampled sounds you can play for each. You can also draw a record button and start recording. To see it in action, click on the title link above and watch the intro. When the main kid says to click on more info below or to click on one of them for cool stuff, click on him and watch. Imagine synth manufactures releasing software for this. Picture a huge whiteboard and a dry erase marker, drawing modulars, step sequencers, anything. : ) Sent to me by Fernando Alves. Thanks Fernando!

Vacuum Tube Synthesis

I was reading this post on VSE and someone posted a few links to vacuum tube synths. Click here for an article on vacuum tube synthesis by none other than Eric Barbour, founder of probably the most widely known vacuum tube synth manufacturer, Metasonix. The article is a great read. I also found the following two sites on vacuum tube synthesis.
