Fame - More Synth Shots

I previously posted about the movie Fame and some synth spotting in it. Well, reader Tony decided to watch it again after reading the post. He sent me two more brilliant synth pics from the movie. Wow! Now I have to see it again. I keep putting odd movies on my Blockbuster list for reasons like this, they show up in the mail and my wife wonders what the heck I am thinking. Oh well, I have to see the following shot in the movie, so she's outta luck. : ) Title link takes you to a bigger shot of the below and another. Amazing. Thanks Tony!

DSI and QY in Bed - Literally - New Flickr Shot

Update via JJ in the comments:

"Say! That's me! I've never been blogged before. Thanks!

At the following URL is a LJ post that contains a couple of audio samples of the QY through the Evolver:

I almost didn't post this shot as there just wasn't enough "synth skin" in the pic, but I decided what the heck. The human side of what a synth and music brings to the table is worth posting. There is just something really nice about this shot. She's smiling, they look comfy, and he's playing away on that Yamaha QY and DSI Evolver. Cool headboard and wallpaper as well. : )

SEMtex Review on Sequencer.de

Update: Don't miss that Felix the Cat sticker in the shot. : )

I previously posted on a SEMTex review back on 10/28/05. Title link takes you to another review posted by Moogulator on Sequencer.de. The review includes a bit of history on how the synth went from an idea discussed on Synthesizerforum.de to reality.

Alien's Project Toy of the Month

If you haven't checked out the Alien's Project site yet, you own it to yourself to do so. It's a sci-fi themed synth site extravaganza. Tons of synth pics, samples, videos you name it. One thing I just discovered is that they have a Sounds page titled Toy of the Month. Each month they feature a given synth and post samples, info and a pic. Very, very fun way to spend some time exploring synths. The site design is quirky and kitschy in the best sense. Like Archie mcPhee's meets Rob Zombie. Title link takes you to the Toy of the Month page. Make sure to track back to the main Alien's Project site as well. Enjoy. Update: I originally implied the Moogulator designed the site. He actually coded it. The disign is by Bernie himself.

Strongbad gets a Key-Sword-Tar

Title link takes you to the episode. At the end, click on the green bird's head. Too funny. Enjoy! : ) Via Dave, "The Packrat".

Korg Trident Samples

Title link takes you to a post on VSE with Korg Trident Samples. It has some killer strings. The Tri1_FlangeStrgs_PolySyn.mp3 sounds just like the intro to Duran Duran's Planet Earth.
