Skullface - Circuit Bent Kawasaki


YouTube Uploaded by SeaweedFactory on Nov 2, 2011

"A loop build using a DL4 looper pedal and Skullface as the only audio source. All live in one take, no overdubs, no effects other than looping.

Skullface has been built from a Kawasaki keyboard, with added pitch bend and a custom paint job.

STG Soundlabs at Moogfest 2k11


via Suit & Tie Guy

"This past weekend during the Moogfest music festival in Asheville NC, due to the kind graces of the Bob Moog Foundation, I was able to set my personal Moog-format modular system (composed of STG Soundlabs and Synthesizers.com modules) up for public interaction in the "Moogaplex" venue of the festival, where the panel discussions, circuit-bending competition, and Dr Bob's Soundschool were located.

This was a rather intense weekend for me. I was able to get people in front of a system who had never seen one in person or not had the opportunity to touch one, I met customers and friends who I only interact with online finally in the flesh, and I was able to shake hands with people whose work I've admired for years as well (and even show them my work.)"

Front 242's Emulator II

This one in via Javier, spotted on the eiiiforum, posted by dvdborn:

"Yesterday I was at Sinner's Day (http://www.sinnersday.com). A festival that takes please each year in my home town. This year Front 242 were celebrating their 30 years of existence.

To my suprise I saw a beaten up EII at their merchandise boot. I asked the guy standing behind the boot about it. Seems he was Patrick Codenys' brother and he told me that they were selling the EII.

It's the one and only EII that Front used for their their albums and concerts in the 80s and early 90s. Unfortunately it didn't work anymore.

However some guy from the UK already bought it for 1500 euro. A bit too pricey for me considering it's broken but it does have a historic value.

MiniMoog Voyager XL Demo - 3 Pieces - By Andy Barrow


YouTube Uploaded by MrRidgebackman on Nov 2, 2011

"3 Part Demonstration of my Beloved MiniMoog Voyager XL. 2 Melodic and one noise (the usual old school twiddling on a Synth this style). I originally put this up soon after I got the MiniMoog Voyager XL and for some reason had an issue with the copyright (that will teach me not to play around too much on here - Note too self - Stay away from the Copyright section!!!!).

All recorded separately and then mixed in Cubase, some sequenced via MIDI, some were played/Recorded and tracks laid down in Cubase (last part of this compilation)

Everything you hear on this compilation is the XL, using some of the presets, some tweaked, some using the Patch Panel and a nice two osc square wave carved from scratch (last part). Some subtle processing in Cubase to polish off the performance

The image is of course the Patch Panel on the Voyager XL and can change the way you play and create in endless ways.

This synth never ceases to amaze me. It can produce the slightest sound to a full on Destroy a Speaker cab. There are many synths I could have bought for the price the Voyager cost me, but having grown up with these sounds carved into my brain, I could not let this one by (thanks to the sale of our house else I would still be drooling). Yes I could have bought an Oasys (not another Korg menu to fight with), Yamaha XS/XF, Roland G8 and whatever else is in this price bracket and got more bang for my buck (feature wise), I have always wanted a Moog (Big fat Modular System 55 or similar would have been awesome), so I had to have one. Not that the Slim Phatty I own doesn't count, as that thing rocks too.

So one more attempt at getting this video up and hopefully keep it on here. Enjoy. It won't get nominated for any awards, its simply a demonstration of what this Synth sounds like, what it can do (limited only by myself).

Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy"

KORG M01: 'Just Do It Again' By Anthony Seeha


YouTube Uploaded by seehanth001 on Nov 2, 2011

"An original song that I wrote myself.
This song is in need dire need of a vocalist... But I suppose you can call this the instrumental version. Check out the M01 piano solo at 2:46!
I was listening to a lot of DJ Kawaski before I made this song, so I became pretty inspired to write some soulful house music. Please enjoy! =)

"These keyboards have excellent sound capabilities and are used by many pro's including Jean Michael Jarre among others. Almost all JD-800's had a problem with the keybed. Excess glue eventually leaks into the keyboard action causing stuck keys, dead notes, etc. I had the keybed replaced last year during the Roland warranty recall campaign."

Roland Jupiter 6 Synthesizer

via this auction

"This is unmodded, so the MIDI is original non-multichannel MIDI. It will send and receive on all channels, so you'll want to give it its own dedicated in/out from your MIDI rig if you use one.

The back panel has MIDI Thru/Out/In, Memory Protect switch (keeps you from accidentally overwriting your user presets), Tape storage Load/Save patches, Arpeggio Clock In, Patch Shift, Pedal Hold (that's where a Sustain pedal goes), VCA and VCF, Headphone output, line output, output level controls (High/Medium/Low) and an XLR out. This is the version of the Jupiter 6 with metal sides, not woodgrain."

Circuit Bent Modified Speak & Spell Math


via this auction

"Here we have a Benstruments, circuit bent Texas Instruments Speak & Math. Just like the Speak and Spell, exact same voice only the Speak and Math has better beat looping in my opinion. Works as a normal Speak until you flip a glitch switch.

Ive added these new controls: Opto-Theremin Pitch Control with on/off switch Pitch control knob that slows it to 8 bit sputtering and super fast high chattering. Tone oscillator button that creates a tone you can then manipulate with the pitch controls like a theremin 1/4" output jack that shuts off the onboard speaker when you plug into an amp or pa system Strobing blue LED for effect Active matrix glitch switch that causes glitching with each push of the membrane Loop switch with on/off and advance button for cool beat loops Reset switch to get it back to normal Glitch forever switch that sets the speak into constant gibbering of incoherent sentences Dual voice glitch switch that causes it to speak in both a high pitch and low pitch at the same time Ive added all the coolest mods you can find on these sweet robotic bent synthesizers. I guarantee all of my bentstruments for as long as you own, my work is solid and ive modified hundreds of toys and synths that are employed the world over by both famous and amateur musicians. Great piece to bring some creativity to your work."
