"It's real fun playing a synthesizer with a touch keyboard! I've used the touch keyboard as a controller for all the sounds that you here on this recording- the synthesizer is the MacBeth Micromac-D. I'm also using my (in development) 'dual tape delay synthesizer' and an antique ART LTX for reverb! It's a narrative- so I hope you enjoy!"
"HARD TO FIND.. Vintage SWTPC Psych-Tone Composer Synthesizer ... These were sold in kit form back in the 1970's... Powers up but it seems like a lot of the buttons do not work. It will put out a tone and some of the buttons affect the sound of the tone ..So, it needs some work.. Has built in speaker for monitor or an output jack..."

Note this is only for the case with the utility panel below the Make Noise Modules. The Hertz Donut pictured further below is listed separately here, and the Livewire Dual Bissell Generator here.
"Up for sale is the only Harvestman Nuclear Football eurorack case in existence besides the manufacturer's personal case. The utility panel at the bottom has mults, attenuators, dual eighth-to-quarter inch converters for output, and the two NES-style pushbuttons offer a pulse trigger and a latching gate output. The other modules in the pictures are not included, although the Hertz Donut and the Livewire Dual Bissell Generator are up in separate auctions."
You might remember the Harvestman Nuclear Football Case from this previous post.
"It's one of the earlier models with the mil-spec gray-green color scheme. Otherwise, it's identical to the white S1 that was manufactured more recently."
"This can be a stand alone synth noise machine or can be used with an analog sequencer for extra rhythmic capability. It has vco1 controlled by optical theremin or potentiometer/knob.the optical bulb is fiber optic and is hard as stone its basically a solid clear stone. so it will not brake. lfo 1 and lfo 2. and 5 octave mod. it has a 3rd oscillator that controls the tempo of the light modulator. cv inputs on vco lfo1 lfo2 ground output 1/4 inch audio output. runs on 9-12v dc neg tip power supply cv and ground jacks are banana jacks."
"All the electronics pots switches jacks leds and so on are new.has 8 steps each one produces a plus voltage pulse patched out via banana jacks has tempo and reset patch via banana jack runs on 9v-12v dc neg tip power supply.no cables or power supply is included. it will include one small attenuator box. This is good for adding to a modular moonstien device or for use with circuit bent instruments. analog synths."
The strings on this piece are the Pi Synth. You can see them come in and out in the waveform player.
"I'm very late with the sampling demo of PIANA that I promised well over a week ago, so to keep you entertained - mainly to stop you all getting sick of waiting - I loaded up my freshly-programmed string section, tried to learn 4 chords and play them reliably, dug out my old remixed stems of Space Oddity, and replaced the Wakemantron with some appallingly ham-fisted 3 finger chords. Occasionally 4 fingers as I dropped another F on top for the heck of it.
Demo with talking and explaining to follow soon, but in the meantime just ignore the poor playing and think about the fact that this sample-based synth is running on £35 worth of kit. Cool, eh?
"Recently I finished two builds: an LFO designed by me, and the amazing Buchla 292c "Low-Pass Gate" with PCB by Thomas White (panel by Clarke). Both devices feature vactrol inputs for CV control, which makes for some truly magical sounds; I definitely feel like I'm controlling unknown forces of nature when playing on these things."
"SoundMachine is a 4 track 8-step drum sequencer that uses the LEGO Mindstorms NXT to scan a set of drum "notes" which are then played using Ableton Live. The NXT uses four colour sensors to detect the colour of 2x2 LEGO bricks as the plate is scanned in. A controller written in Processing interprets the colour pattern and sequences MIDI note messages to send to Ableton Live, which in turn plays the sounds you hear.
The music on the video was created by SoundMachine itself - music you can build!"

More video of SoundMachine in operation, this time showing how the plate is scanned and converted into notes in the GUI, which in turn sends MIDI commands to Ableton Live to play the music

"oberheim Xpander provides almost all sounds except for the percussive, drums and piano and harpsichord. in short all synths parts are Obie."
"Luftrum 9 is a soundbank for DIVA set to release in start November. The soundbank contains cinematic pads, gentle arpeggios and synth emulations inspired by Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Royksopp, Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, William Orbit etc. but also a few soundscapes, sound effects and strings found their way to the soundbank. 2/3 of the soundbank are pads and arpeggios - so it's pad arp haven. Since DIVA doesn't contain an arpeggiator yet, all arpeggios in the YouTube audio demo were made with the Kirnu Arpeggiator - which is free to download."

"Synth1 is most famous software synthesizer that made in Japan. Mr. daichi, Synth1's developer says "Synth1 for iOS is coming next spring" at his blog."
For those not familiar with Synth1, it is one of the most highly regarded software synths available. This is great news. You can find previous posts on Synth1 including video and demos here.
"Here is the last live setup from SCUMEARTH's at Sonikas X Fest in Vallecas - Madrid - Spain the last saturday.

It sounds like a trip in a spaceship engine from outerspace! check the pictures and links! thanks!"
"At last years Halloween I played the opening melody from "the Abominable dr Phibes". This year I play the theme from another great Vincent Price movie: "Theatre of Blood" while showing some pictures I took in Legoland during their Halloween week.
The melody is recorded as a MIDI file and plays on the computer sound card as well as controlling the Yamaha HE-8 organ."

"Here I take the Micromac through the paces, focusing more on the ambient/surreal side of the synthesizer, but there's percussion, bass, leads, FM madness and fx, etc.- something for everyone to enjoy. Everything is 100% Micromac... played by hand or self-generated, sorry for sloppiness at times. I've added reverb, delay, and compression to taste, and I've layered takes in some places; I wanted to provide musical context rather than some alienated melody line. This is by far the most amazing synthesizer I've ever played and I hope this demo reflects a fraction of my awe. Ken Macbeth has created a brilliant product! Hope you enjoy this demo."
