ATARI POKEY 8-bit Computer Sound on PIC32
YouTube Published on Apr 19, 2012 by markusgritsch
"Hi,
I successfully compiled the ASAP (Another Slight Atari Player) library [1] for a PIC32MX795F512H. ASAP emulates a 6502 CPU and the famous POKEY sound chip [2] used for example in the ATARI 400/800 and XL/XE 8-bit computers. To say it with Wikipedia's words: POKEY's sound is distinctive :)
About 60 tunes (worth about 2.5 hours of music) taken from ASMA (Atari SAP Music Archive) [3] are included and stored in the PICs flash memory. D0 is the left and D1 the right PWM channel.
The source code is available here: http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=3944

Key Frame Animation & Synthesis from 1971
YouTube Uploaded by wasbuxton on Aug 7, 2011
"This is a digital dub of a 7 minute, 45 second 16 mm film produced in 1971 by the National Research Council of Canada, in Ottawa. It demonstrates not only one of the first ineractve computer systems for animation, one used for production, it was also an outstanding example of early user-centred design.
The system was developed by Marceli Wein and Nestor Burtnyk, both of whom won Academy Awards for this influential work. For some additional information, see also:
Burtnyk, N. & M. Wein, M. 1976. Interactive Skeleton Techniques for Enhancing Motion Dynamics in Key Frame Animation, Communications of the ACM, 19(10), 564-584 ."
Via the film starting at 6:45: "Music in this film was produced on the same interactive computer facility with the aide of a music package being developed at the same time."

The Droner for iPad
"Welcome to The Droner, experimental noise & drone station for iPad. On the left, you can see the routing schematics of the synthesizer. Be careful, you don’t have a classic or a regular machine in your hands. Indeed, it can produces very unique and strange sounds textures and you have to learn to handle it.
You have to use it with earphones or to use a line input on your sound-system in order to render the best results.
You can record while playing with it. The PCM file will be saved in the document folder of The Droner application on your iPad. You use iTunes to manage the files in this folder to backup them on your computer, or remove them."

Lightman's MFB Nanozwerg Demo (Nano does all the sounds)
Uploaded by TheRealTakumaji on Jan 23, 2012
"English:
This is a quick and rather funky demonstration of the Nanozwerg, an analog monophonic synthesizer manufactured by Manfred Fricke Berlin (MFB), Germany. All sounds (bassdrum, snaredrum, closed hi, open hi, tip-tom low, tip-tom high, crapclap, sweeping pad, funk lead, FM loop) have been created from scratch on the Nano, then they got sampled with an Akai S-20 desktop sampler and arranged on my Roland MC-50 MK II sequencer. The bassline has been directly sequenced and live tweaked with/on the 'Zwerg. There's a slight Chorus effect (DigiTech TSR-12) and a bit of compression on the drum samples (dbx 166a), plus lotsa magnificent noise courtesy of Fricke's little beast.
The Nanozwerg ("Zwerg" is German for "dwarf", btw.) is a powerful and inexpensive mono synth that has just the right amount of dirt and personality to make it interesting for me. Bought it a year ago for about 220 Euros and it's worth every penny in my opinion, it's small, easy to use and comes with a killer sound and tons of features you wouldn't expect in a synth of its class. VCO with four waveforms (saw, pulse, square, triangle), four octave ranges, CV and MIDI controls, various internal and external modulation options, the LFO can be driven into audio range for nice FM effects and even act as second VCO, Glide (portamento), subosc with four mix modes, including noise for percussive stuff (like the hihats and snare you hear in the demo), four filter models (bandpass, lowpass, highpass and notch), audio input, and more. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Doepfer Dark Time Analog Sequencer w/ CV, Gate, USB, and Midi
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This sequencer is a very capable 8/16-step analog + midi sequencer with all the modern bells and whistles, but is impressively small, portable, and light compared to similar vintage and modern sequencers. The multitude of knobs and switches makes it very playable. The wood side panels add a nice touch and the unit feels very solidly built. I haven't checked for recent firmware updates, but features like defining your own pitch/voltage scales are still being developed. Some bidders may be concerned with the brightness of the blue LEDS, but I've had no problems with them. They're very easy on the eyes, as opposed to other blue LEDS I've seen. I've used this sequencer with both a Eurorack modular synth and a Korg MS-20, and had great results with both.
To paraphrase the manufacturer's description, the Dark Time sequencer has the following features:
- two rows with 8 controls each
- several operating modes:
- several running directions:
- several voltage / tuning ranges: 1V, 2V, 5V (corresponding to 1/2/5 octaves)
- gate voltage 0/+5V
- quantization on/off/custom scale
- transpose via switch (-1/0/+1 octave), Midi/USB or external CV input
- timing control (internal clock, external USB/Midi, or external analog clock), selected by a three position switch:
- analog interface for CV/gate/clock/Start-Stop (inputs and outputs, 3.5 mm mini-jack sockets)"

In this video, Yuichi Onoue plays his handmade ribbon controller. It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.
