V-Synth & Waterphone and a Halloween Soundpack

via Studio Wormone
"'Atmospherix: Ominous Environments' from Studio Wormbone effectively transports listeners to anxious underworlds. These disturbing dystopias are ready to inject your next production with gloom and doom. They are ambient inhospitable places, where dread lurks just beneath the surface. These soundscapes are intended as backdrops to invoke moody settings for Halloween, downtempo chill, minimal techno, or a scene from the next video game blockbuster. They contribute subtlety and detail to any number of musical and post production applications, particularly film cues that demand forboding vibes."

Note: "there's no waterphone used in this collection (though keep an eye out for my future releases!) but I thought it and the V-Synth were a recognizable visual representation of what this collection sounds like, since it's mostly digitally processed dark ethereal backdrops."

I'm running the midi out from the Phatty through a simple Midi to CV converter which is then connected to the cv and gate inputs on the Rogue. Tracking is not the best as you can hear. I made the two synths sound almost the same in order to avoid more tracking/patch weirdness."

Inside a GEM

via this auction

Anyone know what model this is and what sounds it can produce? The auction claims it's modeled on the VOX Jaguar along with "Synth has a 1/4 inch output as well as a 1/4 Bass Output."

Update via Dave: "It's not a synthesizer - it is just a combo organ. There are 12 separate oscillators and then a bunch of divide down circuitry. In the pic you can see there are 12 cards in a row. The silver can at the back of each card is a tunable inductor, which allows each note in the top octave to be tuned."

Update via mewrth in the comments: "This is a GEM model P. It has identical electronics to a Vox Jaguar V304, also made by GEM :)"

KFEE custom EPROM for Piston Honda wavetable oscillator

YouTube via Beatprisoner | October 20, 2010

"A demonstration of one of my custom EPROMS for the Harvestman Piston Honda Eurorack module. No filters have been used for creating the sounds you'll hear in the video. The waves on the EPROM are based on some human voice samples and a lot of work in creating proper transitions between these samples. The morphing has been calculated for the X and the Y axis as well (which means the banks and the waves).

At the beginning i'm using two LFOs to control the PH but later i'm only using a choices joystick module to go through the waves (similiar to the Prophet VS vector functionality).

The melody was generated by the Killpatrick pattern generator and also some delay from the TipTop Z-DSP has been added.

I had so much fun playing around with the EPROM sounds that i completely forgot about time so i ended up with an eight minute video. If you are short on time and directly want to hear the variety of sounds and morphing functionality just jump to 4:40 and you will get an impression of the possibilities of this EPROM."

CASIO VZ-1 Synthesizer

YouTube via ISOTROPOSPHERE | October 20, 2010

"Ok folks, this shows how little talent I have for actually playing a synth. but I had a lot of fun playing this and the Organ patch with a little modulation to simulate a leslie effect sounds so nice.

In preparing this and listening to this video I noticed a similiarity to Nugent's Stranglehold except the Korg Z1 is using a digeradoo like patch instead of the bassline in the famous song.

Korg ER-1 mkII provides the drum track and a couple times near the end I swivel around in the chair and mess with the Doepfer R2M which is controlling the Technosaurus Microcon via cv.

Don't flame me to bad on my performance, nervous in front of the camera which now has an audience, timing off here and there, but I had fun. Enjoy.."
