Natures Soothing Sounds w/ Ring Mod & Yamama CS-5 Caustic Noise Brigade!

YouTube Uploaded by synthrotek on Mar 23, 2012
synthrotek on eBay (RSS)

"http://www.stockphotoguru.com

We inserted one of our Ring Modulator to a small electronic noise making device called "Natures soothing sounds" taking it's output as one of the Ring Mod's inputs. The Natures Soothing Sounds device has its own volume control witch helps to bring the proper level to the other device, in this case a Yamaha CS-5 Analog Synth. This resulted in some caustic and distorted noises, very cool... Check it out and let us know what you think!
Thanks

Moog Rogue

"This is a cheerful demo of the Moog Rogue. All sounds were made with the Rogue. It may show you some of the ground character of this synth. This unit is rather similar to the Moog MG-1, with slightly other functions. No Ringmod and no polyphonic triangle, you may hear that the basic sound is a bit different...
Once again, a multitrack demo with some external effects."

MINITAUR - FEEL THE BASS

YouTube Uploaded by MoogMusicInc on Mar 23, 2012

"Minitaur is capable of generating subsonic sound waves which move air in a manner that can not only be seen, but felt. Here, one of our brave "scientists" runs Minitaur through a sub woofer to demonstrate this phenomenon.

Learn more about Minitaur at: www.moogmusic.com/minitaur

"...any sound, soft or loud, sweet or nasty, creates a multidimensional
envelope that does more than intrude - it takes over not only your acoustic space,
but your mind space as well. There is no escaping sound.
It meets your body and forcibly enters your mind, not
just through your ears but also via your bones..."

-Ron Pellegrino"

via this auction

"This is the earlier model and is capable of duophonic (the two oscillators can be played separately) and each oscillator has a separate S/H feature, but it is not an SRM version because it doesn't have SRM written on the back and also looks different from the SRM (i.e. no LFO delay in the ADSR section, different knobs, etc.). In excellent condition and is working great. Keyboard triggers well most of the time but may need a cleaning in the future. Similar in design to the Arp Odyssey but with its own unique sound and tone. Sounds great, some gnarly bass and analogue character."

"Here's another demo of the oneString open-source USB controller for virtual synths. This is the final prototype and will be very similar to the final device. It's somewhat different than a traditional ribbon controller, as I've taken design cues from the early Blues instrument known as a "Diddley-Bow".
This demo shows a few of the different control modes, as they can be used to create different play styles. It's turning out to be a VERY expressive beast!
