DIY Blacet Modifications
Muff Wiggler has a post up on Blacet Mods."Yesterday, I added more comprehensive step-by-step information, along with photos of the process, for two of the mods - one which adds an AC/DC coupling selector to the Blacet VCO's FM input, and one which moves the 'range' DIP switch on the Micro LFO's circuit board to a front panel mounted switch. These are two of the easiest mods to perform, and great place for beginners to get started - and are both mods which add some very useful functionality to the module."

"Uses can > program the drum pattern with interface and place solnoids on different surfaces to create different noises." Also see the HDD Drummer and Yellow Robot.

Above & Beyond - Tri-State (Yamaha QY100)
YouTube via Hanni13579
"Above & Beyond - Tri-State, performed on a Yamaha QY100. (Sequenced in Yamaha XGworks.) Another product of boredom. I was listening to the song and though to myself, 'Hey, can't this thing be programmed as a XG midi file?' Well, said - done. Took me a couple of hours, though I spread it to several days. It's not complete, because I lost interest again after some time, but so far it sounds nice, I think. :)"

Roland D-50
images via this auction
"The D-50 is an all-time favorite digital synth that's still just as popular today as when it first came out in '87. Once Roland's hottest digital synth, it competed against the Yamaha DX7, and was much easier to use. By joining 8-bit PCM samples with "LAS" synth-generated sounds, the D-50 is capable of unique and complex sounds. The PCM samples contained the attack transients, while the rest of the sound came from the Linear Arithmatic Synth (LAS) section which sounds very analog, with subtractive-style synthesis and low-pass-resonant filters. Built-in chorus and (for the first time) digital reverb are also included for giving your sounds space and life! It also has a joystick controller for real-time timbre manipulation. The D-50 was great for new and non-acoustic, percussive, ethereal and beautiful pads & sounds.
SPECIFICATIONS* Polyphony - 16 voices (32 partials with 2 per voice); 8 voices (using 4 partials per voice in Dual or Split Mode)
* Oscillators - Digital LAS (Linear Arithmetic Synthesis) & PCM, 32 osc.
* LFO - YES (3 x 2tones = 6 LFOs)
* VCF/VCA - FILTER: low-pass-resonant; AMP: ADSR envelopes
* Effects - YES
* #Instruments - Monotimbral (can be upgraded for multitimbrality)
* Keyboard - 61 note keyboard with velocity and aftertouch
* Sequencer/ARP - None
* Memory - 64 patches
* Control - MIDI"

This one is labeled buchla in the flickr page. Anyone know what it is exactly? It looks like an inverse MS20, but off.
Modded Moog Prodigy
YouTube via lesingemonotone
"A short showcase of two new mods on my Prodigy:
1. a separate LFO tap to oscillator 2. Very handy during synk.
2. Oscillator 2 tap to filter cutoff, which means nasty filter-fm sounds a la micromoog and multimoog. :)
Other mods not featured in this video: Synhouse midijack and VCF input."

Dubstation 1.5 by Audio Damage
"Witness Dubstation 1.5. The main change is one long-asked-for feature, a 'HI CUT' knob. How it works is thus: at full on, Dubstation will work just like the original, with the delay time setting the high-cut filter frequency. In this manner, you're able to bring in a touch (or a lot) of high frequencies just by rolling back the knob a bit."more info on Analog Industries.
CASIO SK-1 - the real sound of the SK by RetroSound
YouTube via retrosound72
"The real sound of the Casio SK-1 sampling keyboard.
I had a few problems with the small keys. Those are rather something for hands of children ;)
Sorry for my april fool :)
The organ sounds of the SK-1 are made with the additive synth section and pretty cool.
5 PCM tones: piano, brass ensemble, trumpet, synth drums, human voice
3 additive synth tones: flute, pipe organ, jazz organ"
jp8080 demo
YouTube via 909techno
"Messing around on the JP8080. Wonderful synth. These are not the typical sounds I make with it so thought I would share them. Something other than the typical sounds. Some weird stuff using the feedback osc. about halfway through if you want to skip the beginning"
Sneaker Pimps - Destroying Angel Live

It's VEMIA Time!!!
Peter Forest's next VEMIA auction officially starts this coming Saturday, and runs April 5-12. Many items are already listed.First up is Adrian Utley's (Portishead) Minimoog.
"Love or loathe the paintjob! It's a hell of a good Mini even if you personally would strip the paint off. It's lot 5856 at VEMIA."
Click on the "Auctions" tab and search for 5856.
Here's the description for this mini:
"A totally unique Minimoog, for two reasons. One is pretty obvious: it was custom-painted for Adrian Utley of Portishead, with great psychedelic imagery (and a little Portishead logo as well, of course). If you're not sure you could face this first thing in the morning (or any time), then it could all be removed - the painting is only on the woodwork. The second is not so glaringly obvious, but this is a special Mini for another reason: it was the one that Adrian gigged with on all the Portidhead tours, and featured heavily in all live shows including the famous New York concerts on DVD. He used it (when most people had forsaken vintage gear onstage) because it was supremely reliable as well as being great-sounding. (The painting was done after the touring, by the way, so you can't see it on the DVD.) This picture was taken before it was taken to Lucid Sound for a full checkover and service where necessary, so the keyboard is extremely uneven in the photo. Lucid are currently re-bushing it, so it will be smooth and a pleasure to play; and will do the minor calibrations that are the only other thing that is needed to get this back into perfect working condition. It has a CV/gate mod; the panel is in decent condition; and all in all you're unlikely to find a better working Mini, or one that is more reliable even on tour. It will come with a very limited (2/4 !) edition glossy A4 photo of the Mini. The synth will come with a clear certificate of provenance."
Just for fun, I thought I'd make a poll on the paint job.
Feel free to comment if you feel passionately on this either way.
