"Thank you to Karoke Version for permission to use their vocal tracks in my video. Initially I tried to program the vocals with DECTalk but it was unintelligible. All the toys were purchased from Goodwill and Value Village. I apologized for my failed attempt to turn Elmo and Teddy Ruxpin into Zombies. The premise was to have rejected toys cast aside by society turn into a couple of Zombies. As always I didn't have enough artistic abilities and time to complete this.
Toys used
Yamaha CX5M - organ
Casio SA-9 - saxophone and bass
Hard drives - drums
Elmo - Main Vocals
Teddy Ruxpin - Backing Vocals
Tomy Omnibot - Robot Voice
All the toys were hacked and are controlled by two PIC16F84A micro controllers and a bunch of L298N H-Bridges."

Sherman Rodec Restyler Stereo Multi-mode Filter Analog Effects Unit SN 227853

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The filter sounds great and has multiple uses, from synthesizers to DJ mixes to a unique live performance effect. The filter also includes an envelope follower which allows the filter to synchronize with the beat or filter response of the audio you feed it, producing syncopated rhythms and other audio effects.

The Restyler also works on stereo as opposed to most external filters which only give you a mono (single) input. The auction will come with the Restyler and power cable. The unit is in perfect working condition with very little use. Cosmetically it is almost brand new but there is a small scuff on the left side. Here is some more info about the Restyler:



The Rodec / Sherman "Restyler" is the result of great collaboration between two high-end analogue Belgian manufacturers!

This unique masterpiece is no regular effects unit or filter bank. It is a one of a kind "RESTYLER". The Restyler redefines the dynamic, punch, groove and sound of your music, instrument or musical production. It can be used by DJ's, musicians, producers, remixers & musical freaks worldwide.

The Last Martian by Sound of Science (feat. Oliver Chesler of The Horrorist)


Published on Oct 21, 2013 rezfilter·61 videos

Some light Roland System 100m synth spotting in this one. What gets the post is Sound of Science is Tom J Carpenter of Analog Solutions' band.

Some notes on the synths: "We have favorites that appear on all our songs, and others make guest appearances. On TLM we used Analogue Solutions Telemark, Leipzig-S this provided many sound including alot of bass and percussion) and Oberkorn (which did a lot of sequencing). Also, Pro1, Kobol, Obierack, Oberheim Xpander. Some RE201 tape echo also. And on track 4 (our own remix) there is also some Pearl Syncussion SY1. Synths are all recorded live as complete audio tracks into Logic. We do not sample individual sounds. We are not 'anti-plugins' and do use them here and there, mostly for reverb, delay, and some percussion."

MFB Kraftzwerg MKII Semi Modular Analog Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"In comparison to it's older brother the Kraftzwerg II has a much improved filter, temperature control at the VCOs and a nice new housing from alu and wood. The rest of it's concept remains unchanged: a semi-modular analog synthesizer with 3 oscillators, 2 LFOs, 2 ADSRs, CV control and MIDI.

The signal flow of the Kraftzwerg II follows the classic subtractive layout: VCO-VCF-VCA. The mst common audio connections and modulations are pre-patched internally but can be broken up with patch cords and the 40 sockets.

MIDI/CV interface with Portamento
Two voltage controlled LFOs that can also cross-modulate each other. They have a reset jack and offer in the Mk Ii version an OneShot-Mode.
Three VCOs, each with switchable foot range, switchable wave form (triangle, square and saw), sync on VCOs 2 3 and an internal mixer. A noise generator and aring modulator are available, too.
The filter is a -24dB/octave steep low pass filter that sounds creamy but can also distort. It is "single ended", built discretely with transistors and sounds a little like olld Roland and SSM filters.
Both ADSR envelope generators have a hold parameter after the attack, keeping the envelope for a short time at maximul level. This great for superfast, snappy percussive sounds. A switch changes the characteristic to linear, either for envlope 1 or 2. The first envelope is normalized to the VCF cutoff and the second to the VCF."
