"While recording in the studio, a radio started picking up rhythms from a drum machine in the next room on its FM band. Paranormal!"

I actually put this one up for the little flame thingy.

Yamaha CS01

images via this auction. NOTE THIS IS NOT FOR THE MKII Version.

"1984 Yamaha CS01 Monophonic Analog Synth. This is a Casio-size battery powered synth, but make no mistake- it's all analog. The CS01II is almost exaclty the same as the CS01, the only differences being the filter section and the color scheme. PLEASE NOTE: the cv/gate inputs in the video are third-party mods that the CS01 in this auction DOES NOT have. You do, however, get the factory AC adapter and the guitar strap pegs, which are already installed and ready for you to start rockin' keytar style"

Yamaha CS01-II Synthesizer Demo (previously posted here).

Note the video is for the MKII and not the one being auctioned. "All the sounds (drums too) are from my old monophonic Yamaha CS01-II, which I had retrofitted with CV/Gate jacks and plugged into a Kenton Pro Solo midi/cv box. I bounced each part from midi to audio one by one in Cubase, mixed with some effects. Maybe I'll develop this into a complete song someday, for now it was just a quick experiment to see what a full arrangement using the CS01-II would sound like. You can download a Kontakt program of a bass sound I made with this synth here."

DIY Synthesizer Demo

YouTube via MusicMiK. http://mik.k5000.org/
"This is a little demonstration of my DIY synthesizer. Due to video length limits, just a very very small subset of the features is shown.

The synthesizer provides 2 VCOs, 2 12dB state variable filters, ring modulator, noise and an extremely flexible routing system with 26 VCAs to get everything together. It consists of about 1300 parts and is completely built onto veroboards."

"MI7 invited us to show the AudioCubes to musicians at the ALIVE event in Rotterdam. In this video we are using the cubes with Ableton Live."

Waldorf Micro Q Keyboard Exploration

YouTube via Gtechture. Note how the sound triggers when he releases the keys on the first patch.
"This Is a video of the Waldorf Micro Q keyboard. All sounds were created by me. I initialize the sound and create new ones to show the capabilties of the synth"
