Modded Monotron acid demo by Gravitronic


"What you are listening to is two tracks of korg monotron, and some 909 drums via the excellent d16 909 emulation VST.

The first monotron track is MIDI sequenced from ableton live sent to a MIDI->CV converter and finally to the monotron, which has been modded and calibrated to approximately 1V/oct tuning. This is a 24-bar loop that is repeated a few times. There is reverb on this track to give it that acidy depth."

Waldorf Blofeld Synthesizer Desktop Version


via this auction

"Offspring from a noble house - the little synthesizer machine with the big and evil sound.
Waldorf is back in the game. With the Blofeld. This synthesizer offers all the unique qualities that made Waldorf a truly legendary brand.

The engine inside the heavy duty, full metal chassis of the Blofeld delivers the same fat and rich sound that so many Waldorf users worldwide love when they play their Pulse, Q, Q+, Micro Q, Microwave, Microwave II/XT, or even the flagship Wave.

Yes, you've heard it right. The Blofeld is not only capable of producing these warm, organic analog sounds known from the Q synthesizer line, it also sports a wavetable engine like its predecessors with "Wave" in their names.

This unique synthesis system is based upon the revolutionary PPG Wave synthesizers of the early 80s. So when you listen to the Blofeld for the first time, you will instantly recognize those edgy, hard-hitting and bell-like timbres that have been an integral part of so many world hits from the PPG era on, and become increasingly popular once more.

In fact it is amazing to realize that nowadays this complex technology fits into such a slim and elegant device. And for a price no-one would have imagined a couple of years ago.

"Inspired by Tim Burton's vision of Alice in Wonderland, I set off to create a musical recreation of the battle between Alice and the jabberwocky. After a couple months of practicing and patching what this endeavor should sound like, I decided to finally make a video. Here it is, and I hope you enjoy it. I might not be the greatest keyboardist in the world, but I know my patches. ^_^"

POLYKEYS beta version by aswave


YouTube via UPROAR24 | February 07, 2011 |

"PolyKeys by ASWAVE is a freeware Virtual Analog Polyphonic Softsynth Synthesizer and as been around since 2006 in beta form and is still updated for time to time. filled with a few presets that show the diversity of the vsti plugin and is capable of a who lot more sounds to create another true classic synth from the freeware world of vst plugins instruments and effects.
in this video i have tried to show the range of sounds that can be made with this synth classic, rather that make it sound musical.
please note
the most irrating thing about downloading this classic synth is that you have to add a websearch engine to your web browers as homepage or add to tabs before refreshing and downloading this plugin, i say except it and delete later on if you wish

Synth-Project MC-20 Controller for Korgs iMS-20 App

via Synth-Project where you'll find more pics.

"The MC-20 Controller for the iPad has a 3 Octave Full Size Keyboard. So the size of the Case is nearly 1:1 of the original MS-20 Synthesizer.

The case has a iPad Slot to let the iPad inside the Case and you don´t need any place beside the case for the iPad.

The normal parameters are controlled by the USB64 Midi Interface from Doepfer, via Knobs and pots like the real Hardware Synth. To handle the patch cords, i use the iPad. I think, this will be a good way, because the patch sockets of the App and the VST Instrument too, have no Midi CC´s.

The Advantage is, that i can use with iPad App, the Sequencer and the Drum Machine of the App too. So i have a little so-called MS-20 „Workstation“. ;o)

In fact, that the iPad is inside the case, i have a StandAlone Synth."

rs95 and Tiptop Zeus


YouTube via soundxplorer | February 11, 2011 |

"The TipTop bus board produces a high-pitched whine when the rs95's Sine output is used. It also appears on the Tri output. In both cases the background noise is loudest when the shaping knob is at the center 12 'o clock position. The second half of the video uses a Doepfer Mini Case and the whine is gone. It is producing a nice strong sine wave."

NOISE MUSIC, what is (T. Tsang, a.k.a."Moogist"), 310-316

"If SOUND = generally audible and accepted (physical and cultural) forms of wave signals, and NOISE = disorder(ed), generally intrusive, unwanted (temporary or permanent) sound, and MUSIC = organized/ordered sound over time...

what, then,

is NOISE MUSIC?

.is noise simply added onto/into music, or
.does noise transform into music?
.if noise is simply added onto/into music, is it still noise - is it still music?
.if noise is transformed into music, at what point does that change occur?
...or does one just make noise..."

Pythagoras-MicrotonalMarkers.m4v


YouTube via rrr00bb | February 11, 2011 |

"Got microtonal markers that show where all the tone ratios lie. It creates visual interference patterns that tell you when a chord will sound "in tune". Notice that I am tuned to physical fourths rather than diatonic fourths. The idea is to be able to play *really* well fretlessly, and not even bother thinking about snapping until just about everything else works well."

Libpd latency demo

rrr00bb | February 12, 2011 |

"To contrast with the Mugician sound engine. I still haven't figured out how to get below 150ms or so of latency. But notice that the engine never drops, so the sound is clean (good sound quality in that sense). But it's late to pick up finger pitch and volume changes. It might be due to a simple mistake that I am making with libpd."

I got this one from a fantastic electronics shop I discovered recently. It's very old and uses valves / vacum tubes, I reckon it's from around 1950.
The trace seems to wander left and right of it's own accord however this isn't a big problem, you can still get it to show some nice wavey lines :)"
