"I have just published a new YUSYNTH module at my site. It's an utility module that provides two three channels of standard control voltages. It features OCTAVE rotary switches, SEMITONES rotary switches, 3 buffered outputs per channel and one external CV input per channel (to input a keyboard controller CV for example).

"Oh, no! (Credit where credit is due: the synthesizer police idea is Sammi Vella's!)"
Moog Synthesizer 101
"A basic description on how to simply get a sound out of a Moog or some other old analog synths. WIRING DIAGRAM UP SOON - in the meantime, see http://myspace.com/dokashiteru"
Moog Synthesizer 102
"More instruction on a fuller, more interesting sound out of the Moog synthesizer. WIRING DIAGRAM UP SOON - until then, see http://myspace.com/dokashiteru." YouTubes via DoKashiteru. Follow up to this post.
YouTube via cowsill2x2. "Only a minute or so more of the program I recorded in 1986. Not as interesting as parts 1 and 2, but still worth watching for its place in the digital and computer music timeline."
YouTube via Newueel "This is the Korg MS-20 playing two independent melodies at once. All sounds are coming from the MS-20 only!
Both VCO's use different keyboards for creating independent melodies. VCO 1 (CV) is played by the secondary keyboard using the ESP. VCO 2 (CV) is played by the MS-20 keyboard.
Just in case you wonder the secondary synth is a Korg Triton ('99).
"It's a new instrument I finished about a week ago, as a birthday gift for a friend. It's called Micro Casket. The circuits come out of those musical birthday cards, and each had its clock resistor replaced with body contacts. The songs are the ET theme, Superfreak, and Macho Man. The audio causes the red LED to flicker under the jewel lens, and there is a 1/4" output."
Beautiful design, awesome tunes. ;)
YouTube via mysterycircuits "Built for Nick Speak's 40th birthday. The Micro Casket's sounds come from 3 circuit bent musical birthday cards. The first card plays the E.T. theme, the second plays Super Freak, the third plays Macho Man. Each circuit is identical, and declocked. Touching the metal contacts with the center metal contact affects speed and pitch of each song. Audio controls a red LED under the red jewel lens. The gear controls volume when using 1/4" output. www.mysterycircuits.com"
YouTube via grondo2001. "In this video I'm doing my usual drill- a drum loop + bass and EP sounds provided by the DX100. Then I'm just flicking through mainly my own programs that I created along the years. I also do some on the fly programming- who said FM programming was a nightmare? No fancy audio processing. I ran the DX through the Korg mini KP for reverb and at the end of the video for manual gating FX.For more details go to shepit.blogspot.com"
YouTube via mikamulperi. "Just browsing through some presets and testing with Korg TR61.
For those who are yet to decide between Micron and microKorg I say: Buy Novation X-Station and you'll be saved from lot of trouble. All the knobs and sliders you'll need. Also USB-audio/midi-interface included. Runs on batteries / USB-power / PSU."
YouTube via OB8rushes. "3rd installment of Oberheim OB8 arpeggio rushes. This is again a free running, latched chord. The OB8 is in split mode and I use the high/low balance to create the dynamics in the pulses. Heavy FM from the LFO to just about everything it can."

"A very good old-school sequencer from Korg. Designed for the MS series synthesizers and using Korg's CV / Gate control the SQ-10 sequencer can really surprise you with some groovy basslines. Use the knobs to adjust and build up a sequence. Sure it's limited to 12 steps (with a max of 24) but when you hook that up to your MS-10, MS-20 or MS-50 you can get some pretty cool TB-303 like stuff happening. Because the SQ-10 outputs CV (Control Voltage) it can be connected to the Oscillators, VCF filters or LFO's of your MS synths for even cooler tricks. Using a CV / Gate converter allows you to use the SQ-10 with other Roland, Moog, Sequential and even MIDI synthesizers. It's definitely a fun instrument which allows you to program basslines like they did back in the early days!"
"This is a one of a kind Bent Guitar. The body is hand made from 3 project boxes and the circuit is from a teddy bear that simulates the sound of a heartbeat inside a womb. It has its own internal speaker. The only problem is that the circuit is to unstable to use a AC powered amplifier, if you do it takes on alot of noisy distortion which sound pretty cool but you can't get that clean sound unless you use it's own speaker or a battery powered amp. So to play it on stage you will have to mic it through a nice battery powered amp."
YouTube via cdbarbuto. "This instrument is completely tunable. Every button is tunable to any note with a range of about 6 octaves."
