Not Breathing Sound Systems

"i piced up a WSG pcb from ray wilson's www.musicfromouterspace.com - i made it - its great and horrible. it had a lil area on the pcb to add extra circuit - so i built a 4030 based ring modulator - and then i made a 2watt amp using a big magnet 4ohm speaker (same type as below) - i then added a distortion /fuzz circuit - and then i cloned the lfo section from the commonsound.org tremulus lune vibrato - vactrol/knobs for symetry, spacing, smoothness, speed,depth - both the lfos are routed to a two way switch - so either the VCF or VCO 1 can be moded by one - or RES or VCO2 can be moded by the other - what a mess!"

You can find a sample of this piece along with more of Dave Wright's creations on Not Breathing Sound Systems.

Elka Synthex Prototype

via synthorama
"hi this is a photo of an elka synthex i just bought. it is a very special one. it is the prototype with no elka logo, no computer interface or midi (this section at the back is not there not even the graphics, no holes in the wood for the leg attachments and it has a mix output next to the on/off switch. also it is a bit different inside for example the boards have only one led not two on each board and the eproms have stickers that say 25-8-82. i had another synthex which i sold and this one sounds better. its more fat sounding and the bp1 and bp2 filters do much more than the previous i had. you do get much more than a fizzzzzz. also on the filter when you do a sweep you can hear at some point the filter like scaling , like you can here the individual clicks you similar to the oberheim 4voice filter. i talked to a tech who has seen a lot of synthex and he told me he had never come across anything like that in a synthex. he told me maybe it has to do with my software ! being very early and has something different to do with the filters. this one was made as a prototype by mario maggi for maestro Mazza(Gianni Mazza) a very famous italian composer who i think did a lot of work for italian channel RAI."

Tenori Noizze

YouTube via salzmanufaktur
"Well, the Tenori's on board sounds are pretty weak. So i'd put the Tenno in the Roland SP-404 to tweak it with the 404's filters 'n FX. The Roland's signal was jacked into the Korg KP3. Pressing HOLD on the KP3 whilst using its Mod filters can be pretty gory and awful. Well, it's NOIZZE. FX for FX' sake."
