Thank you for watching~!"

Why post this?

Being subbed to 'synthesizer' on YouTube I've been seeing a new dance cover of this daily. Been losing my mind. I've been waiting for a version to actually feature a synth to post it. None yet. So why post this now? I finally looked it up. It turns out the vocals are 100% synthesized with Yamaha's vocal synth engine Vocaloid. And there you have it. And of course it's a happy song about synthesizers! Enjoy! BTW, this dance currently dominates the term "synthesizers" on YouTube for new videos.

DSI Evolver - 7 patches

Human Intervention - "Moments Lost" Entry


"This is a sound entry for the "Moments Lost" contest.

The sound of rain infiltrates the automatic transport carrying an engineer to an android facility. An emergency alarm was triggered late at night, and the remote computers could not solve the issue.
As the transport enters the building, it ascends the mag-lift heading for the main production floor. Unlike the office areas, there are no windows - the only light is that of monitors and the sheen of androids mounted on the halted production line.

The engineer walks down a corridor where a mechanical jam was reported. There is a faint cry over the alarm. While heading down the corridor, a flashlight is pulled out. The light reveals a mangled android tying up a main production servo. This is not unheard of. Usually an arm would come loose, and one one of the sweep-bots would automatically remove it from the production floor.
Nothing out of the ordinary, just a more expensive error. The only thing left to do is remove and recycle the machine to cut the loss. The sooner this mess is cleaned up, the sooner the engineer can head back to bed"

Gear used:
Korg DSS-1 as a controlling keyboard/table
Mutable Instruments Shruthi as the alarm
Kawai K1m as the rain
Effectron II and Korg PME for effects
Yamaha MM10 for the mixer
Berhinger Ultra Patch for routing

Building the DIY Synare 3 Clone | Analog Drum Synth


Published on Jan 4, 2014 anode8·51 videos

"Here's a video of a DIY Synare 3 Analog Drum synth built from the kit available at:
http://www.helensson.com/synare-3-kit...

This is a pretty easy kit to build, and comes with all of the necessary parts except for an enclosure. I used an old desktop calculator, and added a wood panel for the controls. This has a wide sonic range, and is quite useful when being triggered by another machine, in my instance a Yamaha RX-11."

Roland GR-77B Analog Bass Synth with RC-1324-VR and GK-3 Guitar


Published on Jan 4, 2014 WayneJoness·278 videos

http://www.joness.com/gr300/GR-77B.htm

"A few years ago I was asked the question: can you play a Roland GR-33B bass guitar synth with a Roland G-303 guitar? Intrigued by this question, I tested it out, and made a video clip of a Roland G-303 guitar playing a GR-33B bass synth. It works pretty well, though I have to note that the GR-33B is set up only to respond to strings E, A D and G, so you get output on four strings, instead of six.

I wanted to do a similar test with the a GR-77B, so I am using this GR-77B synth, which while it has some wear and tear, functionally is in perfect condition, all the switches work, the unit had all the orginal factory prestes, etc. And like the GR-33B, I found out that it also works really well with a guitar input."

We lost Thomas Kurzhals this past Thursday on January 2.

via Wikipedia: "Thomas Kurzhals (13 December 1953 – 2 January 2014) was a German keyboardist, composer and rock musician, best known as a member of the bands Stern-Combo Meißen and Karat.  Kurzhals died from liver cirrhosis on 2 January 2014, aged 60, in Glauchau, Saxony.[1]"

You can find his work on discogs here and a tribute page here: http://www.overlight-tonstudio.de.

Sonic Alienator by Frostwave - Rare with PS

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

via this auction

"Sonic Alienator bit reduction and filter device by Frostwave. These are rare, no longer made and the best of the bit reduction tools in the market. Comes with power supply (110VAC US adaptor) . In excellent condition from smoke free studio. If bit reduction is what you want this unit is the shizzle!

There are a bunch of YouTube videos you can view to hear how this thing works. Basically a decimator combined with a low pass filter which is configurable via the orientation button to apply the filter to either the input prior to the decimator, the output following the decimator, filter alone, or decimator alone. The decimator itself is the core effect on this unit, it basically digitally degrades/distorts a signal to varying degrees depending on the position of the center knob/switch. Something on the order of 24 different decimation settings are available, some subtle, others more severe, though at times there seem to be only small differences between some settings. - half the settings for the central switch are labeled "magnitude decimation/binary decimation (flashing)" while the other half are for "fold" and "swap". Seperate control for sample rate which controls the amount of degredation, controls for "input/drive", which adds a bit of overdrive to the signal at higher levels, "output", and "cutoff" and "reso"(resonnace) for the LP filter. Inside the unit you can adjust a jumper to make the output control either overall effect volume, or mix of straight signal and the effect. No bypass switch on the unit, but this prob can be solved by using the mix setting on the output. This is a mono in and out device."

"Comes with all original accessories, including the cables.

Moog Liberation is super rare. This particular one comes with all original accessories, including one key-tar, one interface/power supply, one long six-pin cable, one original CV cable and one original S-Trigger cable.

Goods: It plays and sounds great. The oscillators are stable and the outputs are very clean. All the sliders and knobs work smoothly. The ribbon controller on the neck plays like a dream. The keyboard aftertouch works precisely with any assigned modulation.

Bads: The filter control wheel on the neck is bad (but all the filter control is still accessible from sliders). It need to be repaired or replaced. There is a crack on the neck and it has been tape-fixed by the previous owner long time ago. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURE! It seems to be very sturdy and it never bothered me. The CV and S-Trigger output on the control/power unit may need some repair. They have not been tested. Three key contacts need a slightly harder trigger. May need some clean work..."
