Buchla and OP-1
"Buchla 200e System. 3 Tracks performed with no pause onto the OP-1 Tapetracks. 1 Op-1 Synth Track. Mixed in Logic with no further editing.
I really enjoy the no clock, no syncing, no fine audio edit approach with the OP-1. You have to hit it rigth and go.
Video is a Sound reactive Isadora patch."

"A quick tour of our new iPad synthesiser, in which I make a lot of strange loud noises.
The intro tune was created in Grain Science itself by using the built in performance recorder on each track, and sending them to our Hokusai Audio Editor for mixing and mastering.

New M-Audio Venom Blog & Alternate Designs of the Venom
Taiho Yamada, Product Manager for the M-Audio Venom.
"My dad is cool.
One day when we were getting out of the car to visit my grandparents, my dad and I heard the sound of someone playing a synthesizer from an open window of a nearby apartment building. The sound twisted and morphed and made music in ways I’d never heard before. My dad asked me if I liked it and I said, 'Yes.' That one word changed the course of my life.
A short time later, I had my first analog synthesizer. My dad bought it for me, but I’m pretty sure that he secretly played with it after I’d gone to bed. It was a budget synth, but designed by the master himself, Bob Moog. On this instrument, I learned about Oscillators, Filters, LFOs, Envelopes, Pitch Wheels, Mod Wheels, Portamento, and Sync. I was nine years old."
Taiho Yamada, M-Audio's Venom Project Lead, has started a new blog on the Venom. Currently there are two posts up. One with an interview of Taiho and one with alternate designs of the Venom, pictured. Did you know the original color was going to be purple? According to the post it was a color not often used in the synth world and would have made the Venom stand out. "The problem with this purple was that the iridescence in the paint caused it to turn pink under certain lighting conditions, which we felt would not really help us reach our target audience."
See the direct links above for further details in each post. You can find the main feed for Venom posts on M-Audio's main blog here.
Finally, don't miss MATRIXSYNTH's exclusive review and interview with Taiho Yamada which includes a tips and tricks section as well as a custom iPad editor.

General Instruments AY-3-8912 via wikipedia: "The AY-3-8910 is a 3-voice Programmable Sound Generator (PSG) designed by General Instrument, initially for use with their 16-bit CP1610 or one of the PIC1650 series of 8-bit microcomputers. The AY-3-8910 and its variants became popular chips in many arcade games, and was used on, among others, the Intellivision and Vectrex video game consoles and the MSX, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Oric 1, Colour Genie, Elektor TV Games Computer and Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128/+2/+3 home computers as well as the Mockingboard sound card for the Apple II family. It was also produced under license by Yamaha (with minor modifications, i.e. a selectable clock divider pin, and a double-resolution but double-rate volume envelope table) as the YM2149F."

polivoks VCG R-1983
"Sawtooth-core VCO with 1V/octave tracking, manual octave switch, voltage-controllable pulse width modulation, and both linear and exponential frequency modulation. This is a Eurorack packaging of the Polivoks Generator circuit, authorized by the instrument inventor Vladimir Kuzmin. The exponential converter and temperature compensation circuits use original NOS Soviet integrated circuits. The hard sync is very sharp and the distortion on the triangle output is nice."

A Quick Note on Holiday Posts
Just a heads up for those planning on sending something in for a holiday post. I have a tradition of putting up only one post on Christmas day and that post is mine. If you have anything you'd like to go up for Christmas, send it in before then. If you'd like me to post it on Christmas Eve day, let me know and/or just send it in then. I go through all submissions that come in the day they come in, but obviously don't wait too long into the night. The wine may have gotten to me by then.

On scoring for film: "'There wasn't any snobbiness, like: 'That's not a real score.' I had Hans Zimmer come up to me and say, 'The fact you've won all this stuff is great, in terms of opening up perceptions of what can be incorporated into a movie score.'"

The panel has:
2 x VCO, 2 x LFO, 2 x Mixers, 1 Envelope Generator, 1 VCA.
Sequenced with the bindubba1 & 3 sequencers.
Most of this is pretty self explanatory except at the end where I try to
modulate the VCA with a LFO from the Doepfer A100 .I used a Pittsburgh VOLTAGE INFLUENCED LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR (VILFO)
