Gazelle Twin in the Moog Sound Lab at Birmingham’s Supersonic Festival

via FACT Magazine

"Birmingham’s Supersonic Festival teamed up with the brilliant Moog Sound Lab this year to host a four-week artist residency where musicians could get their mitts grubby with analog sound-scaping, synthesis and effects using the iconic synth manufacturer’s gear.

Gazelle Twin, the Cronenberg-inspired persona of Brighton-based producer, composer and artist Elizabeth Bernholz, was among the artists let loose in the Moog Sound Lab at Birmingham City University – watch her unsettling performance with a hooded accomplice above."

New Ninstrument Sammich SID Eurorack Module

via Ninstrument

"With most of my time being spent in euro these days I was missing some SID sounds. Yes I know there is a SID module out there, but I was missing Sammich, so I eurofied it! Conversion took a little bit of doing and some modifications were necessary. The biggest being the extra row of LED’s on top for the CV/Gate conversion indicators, but other than that I now have Sammich in my eurorack!"

Roger Linn Interviewed by Sweetwater

Published on Jul 10, 2015 SweetwaterSound

"At GearFest '15, synthesizer pioneer Roger Linn sat down with Mitch Gallagher to talk music and electronic instruments. Technical Grammy award-winner Roger Linn invented the LM-1 Drum Computer (the first sample-based drum machine) in 1979. He later designed the Akai MPC60, which combined a sampling drum machine with a real-time MIDI sequencer. His guitar effects unit, AdrenaLinn, has been used on hit recordings by John Mayer and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 2014 he released the LinnStrument, an expressive MIDI performance controller.

"The same model was used on Toto's Africa, Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA, Brian Eno and Bangles's Chariot of Fire. AMAZING condition! Sorry, no cover lid or legs.

It also has custom midi and switch to turn off and on sub oscillator modulation (goes from pad to hard stutter filter and amp volume sound for example)."

bent.fm - Circuit Bent FM Synth for iOS Released

You might remember the "Lite" version here. The full version is now available on iTunes here: bent.fm - circuit bending - Mayank Sanganeria

"bent.fm is a full FM model of a circuit-bent synthesizer. bent.fm allows the user to tweak classic circuit bending modifications like fine and octave-decimated clock bends, and experiment with more esoteric bends. Circuit-bent distortions and algorithmic sequences can be created by (im)proper connections on the bend matrix. Reroute digital serial information through the base chip set (a numerically controlled oscillator) and extra logic gates (NAND and XOR, binary counters), and experience architecture-level bit crushing. For anyone interested in circuit bending, glitch sounds, industrial music, and post-procedural art.

Audiobus and IAA supported!"

Scarlatti - Sonata in C Major on a Roland Digital Harpsichord

Published on Jul 9, 2015 reeg2600

"In March, I bought a Roland Digital Harpsichord. Since then I've been completely blown away by how authentic the sound is -- down to the smallest detail. To capture that, I recorded a Sonata in C Major by Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) one of the 3 great composers of the Baroque era along with Bach and Handel. The performance has some flaws but the instrument sounds fantastic."

This one in via reeg2600 who wasn't sure if it qualified for a post. It's not a synth in the traditional sense, but it it is in essence a synth dedicated to reproducing a single real world instrument, so why not. It's reminder that synthesis goes beyond traditional synthesizers.

"Korg 800DV monophonic / duophonic synthesizer. It's sounding awesome! Has two vco's, two ring modulators, sub osc's, great filters, portamento, lfo, pink and white noise, chorus and so on. Notice that some switches and faders are slightly crackling when you turn or move them. Optical it's in nice condition. It has new 'wooden' sides with nice veneer on it. There are some minor scratches and wear and tear on it, one original small knob doesn't fit right on the switch, but the overall condition is great for its age."

Yamaha CS-10 analogue mono synth

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

via this auction

via the seller: "This is fully functioning and has had a recent service to clean all controls, so there are no noisy or crackly pots when moving the knobs. The keyboard is flawless and every note plays properly. The CV/Gate sockets at the rear of the synth have been tested and everything works without any issues.

The CV/Gate sockets and functionality were tested using my Novation BassStation Rack synth's built-in MIDI CV converter. I could play the CS-10 on its own MIDI channel within Cubase on my PC and I could also play the BassStation on the CS-10 keyboard.

The audio input socket on the rear of the CS-10 also works without any issues, and I was able to put my Korg ER1 drum machine through the CS-10's synthesis path. Cool!

This is completely original other than the 2 sliders that control Portamento and Pitch Bend on the front panel. These were replaced a while ago with some very good alternatives. I have included an image that shows what an original slider cap (off my mate's CS-5) looks like in comparison to the replacements. While not identical I'm sure you'll agree they are more than satisfactory alternatives.

Included in the sale are a printed and bound manual that I downloaded from the Yamaha web site, and a booklet of synthesizer patch charts for the CS-10, CS-30 and CS-30L. I think I also have a copy of the CS-10 service guide too.

This is a great little, true analogue mono synth that has the flexibility of low, band and hi pass filters. It is only a single oscillator synth, but has mixable saw and square waves with noise and pulse width modulation too. This is the same as the CS-5 synth but has separate envelope controls for the filter and the amp, unlike the CS-5's shared envelope control for both."

JAM with OB-XTREME VSTi Oberheim OB-X Extended VA Synth

Published on Sep 28, 2014 Aly James

http://www.alyjameslab.com
https://soundcloud.com/alyjameslab/se...

Description for the first video in the playlist above. OB-XTREME is now available at http://www.alyjameslab.com.

"Quick demo of my upcoming OB-XTREME VSTi, it wasinspired by the legendary 8 voices design which has been played by many legends, OB-XTREME adds some extended features like 2 virtual analog saturation stages for a beffy sound, a fat mode and some other useful things you will find at the website :)

great for OB Brass sounds, Bass, Pads and cutting Leads. The saturation stages can also bring some really nasty sounding tones in conjunction with the filter...

I first made this VST for personal needs, sort of a quick simple OB synth with the bare minimum feature and added some extended options along the way :)

Then I decided that I could add it to my product line although it is not a straight emulation.

In this demo I have used my VLINN VST (Linn LM-1 Drum Machine) for the drums, OB-XREME VST for everything synth and recorded some electric guitar & bass.

There is also a few hits of real drums cymbals and toms."

VLINN 2.0 LINN LM-1 VST

http://www.alyjameslab.com

"vLinn 2.0 VST is actually 99% done and is now compatible with x86 x64 VST2 VST3 AU for Windows and OSX.
If you do not know about the vLinn VST (Legendary Linn LM-1 drum machine accurate emulation) check out the website :)

V2.0 also earned some new features and improvements like:
- Individual Panning
- Global tuning offset via MIDI PitchBend
- MIDI OUT (through)
- Exponential Velocity Curve (full mode only)
- ALL voices (12+1) are now replaceable by compatible imported EPROM images (original .bin files) no more need to set the size of the EPROM memory manually ( vLinn does it for you)
-The Additional Custom Voice can now be triggered from the GUI
- Overall GUI improvement"

via the Oli Larkin blog: "Recently I helped Aly James to bring his great VLinn Linn LM-1 emulation to Mac OSX (and Win x64). I rewrote the plug-in in C++, and in the process we added some cool new features."
