Secretly Spanking The Monkey via SoNiCbRaT
"We doodled and played with gears and decided to mess around and recorded the outcome. So here's a recording of the half hour noise/synthesis/electronic improvisation session (we were just wacking). And so we went crazy on this one, some nice moments featuring the Tenori-on vs Nintendo DS lite mid way through about 17:05 onwards till about 25:30 (Pathein rawks again); and WY had some flair with my Roland SH101 as he concocted some "bleepy-droney-sireny" noises with modulations and for the cat growls at 23:25 onwards :D ... the sherman filterbank 2 seriously bled our ears, with some bird-like talks and glitches of course... Highly disturbing sounds and noises. We dare you to listen through headphones..."1) Doepfer A-100 Modular System

Novation Bass Station
images via this auction"The Novation Bass Station is an excellent piece of kit, that is more than capable of TB 303 emulation, the included manual, ( copy ) even gives the settings for the classic 303 sound, and with 12 and 24 db filter, is even capable of big fat moogs aswell. Although being called a BASS station it can produce untold amounts of sounds, so is brilliant for lead sounds that scream, and those true analogue sounds too."

"LEMUR's Eric Singer has more than just a penchant for making his musical bots. In fact, he has a separate category altogether for very innovative musical controllers he creates and calls "Trons." Here, we take our first look at the Slime-o-Tron - a controller that works by moving conductive slime around copper nails. Check the video out to see the most unorthodox controller you can imagine, and see more on gearwire.com."
iPod Touch/iPhone for Music Round-up
CDM has a great round up on Music apps for the iPhone. Note that the formal SDK is not out for those that do not want to crack their iPhones, however it is expected to arrive sometime in June. Now Apple just needs to make a multi-touch tablet.Excerpt from CDM:
"If we’ve learned one thing on this site, it’s this: if it’s a computer, big or small, someone’s going to find a way to make music. The iPod / iPhone, with their Mac OS-derived software guts and a multi-touch interface, are no exception — with or without Apple’s blessing. Here’s a look at what people are doing, including some apps you can download right now, and where this might go musically, whether it’s just a couple of fun toys or trying to make that pretty pocket device an instrument."

Multivox CB-50
via this auction, via Inverse Room"Multivox CB-50 "Digital Chorus Box." This thing is very uncommon, so much so that I couldn't find a single reference to it anywhere online. It's a fairly basic solid-state analog delay, coupled with a chorus (you can only use one at a time), and is essentially a copy of the Roland DC-50 "Digital" Chorus. Stock, this thing has no delay time knob--it's ordinarily a fixed slapback. But I modded it, replacing a trimpot inside the unit with a panel-mounted knob (pictured) that does indeed allow you to adjust delay time. You can do it on the fly, creating the customary portamento-type sounds. Max delay time now seems to be around 300ms. The echoes fade out in a lowpassy way like every good delay. The intensity does not oscillate in its stock form, but I adjusted another trimpot inside the unit, and it does indeed now feed back and oscillate very satisfyingly. Chorus is pretty good--there is only an "intensity" knob, so it isn't hugely versatile, but it IS a modulated chorus, not a simple doubling effect. The echo intensity knob also seems to have some effect on it--perhaps on the LFO speed? In any event, it's a good sounding analog chorus, very much a Roland-style ensemble effect. I don't think the knobs are original, but they're like new."
Waldorf Clock and The Qrazy Synth Man
via The Qrazy Synth Man where you will find a ton of other synth info including. an ARP interview, more Waldorf shots, mp3s, and some amazing studio shots. This image gets the post as it's what brought me there.
Workspace and Environment: Mr. Projectile
You can find the full interview on trash_audio."What is your current favorite piece of hardware?
Nord Modular G2. I haven't found a synth that better suits the type of music that I do. The knob setup, the build quality and the software editor are the best that i've seen. I use the Nord a lot to do the things that i don't want to manually do, such as random sequenced bleeps and arpeggiations. The ability to improvise with it while performing is a huge thing also."
KL-Module
"Hybrid Module für analoge Modulsynthesizer"
click here for the product page in German.
Here's the content in Googlish:
"The K311 A is the main module of the K311 series.
In the upper area (inputs) are the four inputs A - D associated with the LED. The input signals are applied to the states or HIGH LOW. As signals are LOW 0 volts to about +2 volts (or negative stresses). HIGH tensions are from about +4 volts. The area between +2 volts and +4 volts is not precisely defined. Generally, the input voltages modular systems in the usual range of -15 volts to +15 volts not.
In the middle part (Analysis), the LED outputs and the various logical operations are assigned. If the condition is true, the LED and the socket is +5 volts. In particular:
A OR B One of the inputs A or B must be HIGH.
A B XOR One and only one of the inputs A or B must be HIGH.
A AND B Both A and B inputs must be HIGH
D C OR One of the inputs must be C or D HIGH.
C D XOR One and only one of the entrances C or D must be HIGH.
C AND D inputs Both C and D must be HIGH
In the lower area is a logic inverter, the input signal to HIGH LOW or HIGH LOW for converts. The work is a way other than in an analog inverter.

Flame Clockwork Demo
