Modded Roland SH-101 with Green Case
via this auction
"As you can see from the pictures, it has got custom wood fluro green case (it looks so flury because of the camera flash - in normal light it looks more normal greenish colour).
The synth and the case are not connected with each other (no screws or anything), so you can take the synth out any time and tune it or modify it even more ;-)
I am a really honest person, so I would say it's not the best quality, as it's DIY. I would personally give it 3 out of 5, thou I did my best =) I am not a woodman.
Now I will describe existing modification which has been done for this particular model:Starting from the left and going to the right:
- The black knob controls the amount of KEYBOARD (normally it's just one slider in VCF section, so additional pot is installed for easier and more deeper control over this parameter)
- Two 6.3mm inputs for VCF CV in control - in this particular photo I am controlling it with MC202 without any problems- The blue knob which gives you a deeper one way control over Cut Off Frequency + Resonance sliders in one package - In my opinion, it's the best mod here, as it makes this synth sounds completely crazy! Forget about standard SH 101 - it helps you create absolutely out of this world sounds, which you can use later for sampling.
Again from the left to the right:
- First black knob/Switch - gives you the ability to mix LFO waves together e.g. Square + sine, Random S/H + Square, Noise + Sine etc. Which allows you to synthesize even crazier sounds
- Second black knob controls the amount of a wave mixing
ALL MODIFICATIONS EXCEPT KEYBOARD AMOUNT CAN BE TURNED OFF WITH A SMALL SWITCH
SO YOU CAN GO BACK TO ORIGINAL 101 ANY TIME SUITABLE
I have found and attached an old-style ROLAND logo and a !warning! metal frame from Roland SH2000 on the back of the custom case
Unfortunately, there is one small issue which I have to mention:
The modulation wheel has got one broken spring
So it doesn't go back from the right to default center position by itself (but it goes from left to center!), so you have to move it back manually. Probably you can get a replacement from a nice guy Senso (Vintage Planet synth parts) if you really need it."
Flame Midi Talking Synthesizer
"The unit is built around two of the analogue Speakjet chips, produced by the US Company Magnevation LLC. Originally for talking tasks in the usual robot-toned voice, they’ve been further developed into making sound effects and various 8-bit blips and beeps.
Using two chips not only makes the unit tonally richer but they also provide a pseudo stereo type output on the (32kHz PWM output) regular quarter inch jack stereo socket but the first thing you notice about this unit is how many controls are jammed across its surface and how well it’s built.
Switching between chips is at a flick of a switch and a mix rotary lets you blend the sound of each chip together. It’s powered by a 9V DC adaptor and has both MIDI in and out, meaning the unit can also send MIDI messages, making it capable of controlling other devices too via its rotaries, switches and joysticks.
Dual mode
There are two modes the unit can operate in, Sequencer mode and Expander mode. Sequencer mode lets you operate the unit manually using the talk joystick to trigger sounds and internal MIDI clock controlled tremelo, which can interrupt sounds depending on the tempo set on the MIDI clock.
Where the joystick is positioned affects how sounds are triggered, with upwards movements triggering the individual sounds, words or vowel sounds and downwards movements triggering these sounds in sequence. The other joystick takes care of pitch and movements of both joysticks can be recorded when the ‘Rec’ switch is activated. It takes some time to get used to the way this synth works but a simple manual explains procedures.Triggering the unit via MIDI is taken care of by the Expander mode and words are triggered via the keys on a controller keyboard or a sequence in your DAW (although you must output on MIDI channel 10). You can alter the pitch and speed while in MIDI mode, allowing words to be shaped more specifically.
Retro tone
The actual sound quality this unit kicks out is great – traditionally retro in its tone and with some decent experimentation it can deliver some brilliant results. If you’re keen to get a Speak & Spell, it may be worth stumping up the extra cash for something much more usable and ultimately sonically superior.
This is a very specific kit and might not be for everyone. It’s not going to start singing over your tune, unless you have the patience for some heavy MIDI programming. But as a lovely sounding retro item that forces a decent amount of experimentation it’s a great purchase. It slots perfectly into the current ‘scene’ and when it’s blips and sound effects are ramped through some guitar pedals it can sound pretty cool."

Real-Time Filter Control on the Casio XW-P1
You might remember in my NAMM video post of the new Casio XW-P1 I wasn't sure if the filter control knob worked real-time for Hex Layer sounds. In the first video it almost appeared like it did while in the second, General Manager of Marketing, EMI, Mike Martin, states that it does not. It turns out it indeed, does not. What you hear in the first video was most likely an envelope or other modulation source being applied to the filter. Mike confirmed this with me.
Real time control of the filter for held notes via the filter knob only works in Solo Synth Mode / monophonic mode. For all other polyphonic synth modes you will not hear the knob effect until you re-trigger a note. This isn't an issue for sequences or arpeggios as notes transition along, but if you plan on holding a note or chord and turning that filter knob, it won't take effect until you press a new note. The same would of course apply to drones or notes with long release times.
It is worth noting, there are other modes of real-time control including control over the mix of each of the six layers allowing you to blend them on the fly. Effects can be controlled real-time in Hex and other modes. Six oscillators per patch, six layers, step sequencer, arpeggiator, and more. This is still an extremely powerful synth for the price.

VAKO Orchestron Model Double D
via this auction
"This unit was most likely the last unit built by the company which was called Technical Research Institute, Inc at the time it was manufactured. Orchestrons were formerly built by a company called Viking, and prior to that, they were called VAKO. The extremely brilliant and talented former Moog sales rep David Van Koevering started and operated the three companies, all of which existed within three-four years of one another and were basically the same company with different investors.
There were two or three odd one-off prototype models (model X for example) that were never fully realized or fully functioning, however this super rare Model Double D was actually a Standard Model and fully realized. It is also perhaps the most usable and reliable model, and only two are known to exist that were made under the Technical Research Institute Inc label. There was one (not as nice) made and labeled VAKO (built for the band America). This particular example I am offering was never sold by the factory as the company dissolved soon after its completion and this unit remained in limbo while the company was dissolved. It has also never been played or used by anyone. Its retail price in 1976 was $7,000. I own and have owned many Orchestron instruments. The Model D versions are the best designs and any double drive / double keyboard Orchestron is especially useful. This unit is the most desirable and rare of all Orchestrons built and it is literally new old stock. The unit has sat unplayed its entire life and may require some tweaking and general servicing. It is being sold without warranty or statement of operating condition. Sold in “AS IS” condition only with NO RETURNS BEING OFFERED.
Fortunately the wonderful Pea Hicks at optigan.com offers remastered, remanufactured disks of all original 8 Orchestron sounds plus 6 additional sounds (14 total). Unfortunately some of the remastered disks are already out of production, however for $100 each I will agree to sell one new copy from my collection of any or all of the 14 remastered disks to the buyer of this unit. I have already had a crate made professionally (see pics) which may be useful for transportation. Anyone wishing to have the unit freight shipped will be offered the unused crate for $375 in addition to the purchase price..."

"Ingredients: Max/MSP/Jitter, Java, Supercollider, Open Sound control."
via tarikbarri.nl/projects/versum:
"Versum is a realtime virtual 3D world that invites both the audience and the composer to look at the music and listen to the visuals.
This virtual world is seen and heard from the viewpoint of a moving virtual camera with virtual microphones attached. This camera, controlled in realtime by means of a joystick (or any other kind of controller) moves through space, similar to how first person shooter games work. Within this space, I place objects that can be both seen and heard, and like in reality, the closer the camera is to them, the louder you hear them. So when the camera moves past several visual objects, you simultaneously hear several sounds fading in and out. Consequently, the way the camera travels past them actually causes melodies and compositional structures to be seen and heard.
The visual position of each object coincides with the panning of it’s sound: objects to the right of the camera will also be heard on the right, and those behind the camera will be heard from behind in case a surround speaker setup is used. This principle also applies to the Z-axis, meaning that sounds can be heard coming from above and below if the speaker setup supports it."

The same software could be easily applied to automated sound scoring for complex action scene in films. If you had a massive-scale dogfight with 100 spaceships, with engine noises zooming around, laser blasts & torpedos exploding everywhere, etc., you could simply assign a sound for each ship engine, each of the various special effects. The resultant audio track would be neatly laid on top of the video (in surround, no less). Easy!"
That's a great idea. If you model visual spacehips in 3D space, why not the audio as well.

"Check in at NAMM with Korg's James Sajeva and the amazing microKORG, turning 10 years old this year! In 2002, Korg launched the microKORG, Korg's compact analog modeling synthesizer with an outrageous Vocoder built right in! After a decade as one of the best-selling synths on the planet, the microKORG is still going strong. In fact, the microKORG is the grandfather of our entire microSERIES -- the microKORG XL, microPIANO, microSTATION, microKEY, microARRANGER, etc...

Moog Animoog iPad / iOS Sound Design Tutorial Pt 1: How to Get Started
YouTube Uploaded by DubSpot on Jan 31, 2012
"In part one of a three part tutorial on Moog's Animoog iPad app, Dubspot Instructor Matt Celletti shows you how to get to the initial state, so you can begin to understand how this powerful synth works.
Leave it up to Moog to produce the finest synthesizer app on iOS. The legendary company best known for their iconic hardware has also created the finest example of what an iOS app should be: visually interesting, great sounding, and a ton of fun. I find myself being inspired by this unique take on synthesis every time I sit down with it, thanks to the intuitive controls and fascinating X/Y pad. We have so many choices available in the form of hardware and software synths these days, and yet, I find myself often starting out with Animoog to get the creative juices flowing.
One thing I have noticed about this app is that it may be quite complex for new users to fully understand. Given the low introductory price of this app, I'm sure a lot of would-be synthesists began playing with it only to get frustrated by the synth's architecture. In Part 1 of this three part tutorial, I explain how to break the instrument down to it's most basic form. This is commonly referred to as initializing. When we start to look at the synth from the absolute initial state, it is much easier to comprehend. The following tutorials are an explanation of Animoog's parameters and how to create usable sounds by learning the fundamentals of this wonderful instrument. - Matt Celletti

Moog Animoog iPad / iOS Sound Design Video Tutorial Pt 2: Advanced Modulation + Routing Advanced Modulation + Routing
YouTube Uploaded by DubSpot on Feb 22, 2012
"More info - http://bit.ly/xKwZEj
In part two of a three-part tutorial on Moog's Animoog iPad app, Dubspot Instructor Matt Cellitti shows you how to creatively use Animoog's modulation parameters to achieve complex sounds.
Now that we have looked at how to break down Animoog into a basic initial state, I would like to examine the instrument's creative options to make more complex sounds. Animoog has a clearly labeled and easy to use modulation area, allowing us to add several modulation parameters to the sound at the same time. We are able to use traditional modulation sources like mod envelopes, filter envelopes, and low frequency oscillators, but there are some hidden gems in here as well. For instance, take control of the Touch Keys to manipulate sounds in ways a traditional keyboard is incapable of. By using the the modulation control of "poly-pressure" to manipulate a destination of filter frequency, the areas of the touch key will activate modulation of the filter's cutoff frequency. So you can create filter sweeps just by moving your fingers up and down a single touch key. Furthermore, as if the path and origin controls of the X/Y pad weren't enough, you can use mod controls to effect these parameters even further. It never ceases to amaze me how much flexible control this app has. - Matt Celetti"
Using Moog Animoog w/ Ableton Live - iPad / iOS Sound Design Tutorial Pt 3
Uploaded by DubSpot on Apr 2, 2012
"More info - http://bit.ly/HPrHQ6
In the third and final installment of our video tutorial series on Moog's Animoog iPad app, Dubspot Instructor Matt Cellitti offers sound design and production tips and tricks and shows you how to use Animoog in a Digital Audio Workstation.
The final installment of the Animoog tutorials will hopefully give you a few more tricks on how to create some really cool sounds in this great app. Once you have created an interesting sound with a unique path, I will show you how to "stretch" the orbit across your path to create thick sounds, triggering multiple timbres at once for radically transforming sounds. Moving the path around the X/Y axis will allow you to essentially create several different presets inside of one saved sound. I might start with a slow pad if I begin in the top left corner, yet morph to a sharp lead sound by pulling the path down to the bottom of the Y axis.
Lastly, it is important to realize that the signal coming out of the iPad/iPhone headphone jack comes in at a lower volume level than we would like. Simply use some effects inside of a DAW or other host program to boost the signal and create more interesting effect chains for Animoog. Set up an effect chain just once and save it for instant recall when you need it again. Works great in both Live and Maschine. - Matt Cellitti"
