"Here's the sound of the STG .MIX Eurorack module. 4 different waveforms from a TipTop Z3000. Not too noticable on the Square, but as I change the waveforms the clipping effect (apparently based on the Moog CP3 module) becomes very apparent."
"Sine, Tri and Saw from a TipTop Z3000 filtered through a Make Noise QMMG. If you watch closer for the 'flatline' at the peak of the waveform you can see as the clipping takes place."
The .MIX is a 4HP eurorack mixer with 3 inputs and a bipolar output with a makeup gain stage lifted from the Moog CP3. They'll be available to order from Analogue Haven by Monday (most likely). http://stgsoundlabs.com/

"This Synergy SIA board is part of what you need to convert an original Synergy I synthesizer into a Synergy II+. A Synergy II+ is the commercial version of the Bell Labs Digital Synthesizer, and a Synergy II+ lets you program the Synergy synthesizer by an external computer (a Kaypro II) to load voices and store them on floppy disc and program timbres using CP/M software called SYNHCS (SYNergy Host Control System). The SYNHCS version 3.182 CP/M software for Kaypro II was included along with this Synergy SIA board and it has the complete Synergy voice cartridge library on Kaypro CP/M disc and the Synergy SIA board. SYNHCS v 3.182 is the lsat and most complete version of the SYNHCS software for controlling and editing the timbres on the Synergy synthesizer, and it's also insanely rare. As far as I know, no one else has SYNHCS v. 3.182 from 1985. Everyone else seems to have SYNHCS v. 3.15 from December 1983. As you can see, this board comes in two parts including MIDI ports because adding MIDI to the Synergy I synthesizer is part of the function of the Synergy SIA board."
"A short, progressive song performed on the DRM1 through the OTO machines biscuit. Biscuit provides delay and distortion. A bit of reverb added in Live 8.
This video hopefully shows some of the more unusual analogue sounds the DRM can produce."
The performance of the flame triode has been greatly improved by two factors: 1 assisting the filament heat by running AC current through it and 2 using 300 VDC plate voltage instead of 200 VDC. 300 volts was not available when the first flame triode video was made. It now is capable of driving a pair of 8 ohm headphones at a reasonable level.
This video shows the flame triode being used to drive a pair of 8 ohm headphones from a very high impedance (10 megohm) input. Even though a high to lo impedance output transformer is used, amplification is necessary in order to drive the headphones at the higher level heard in the video.
This video also shows the flame triode used as an audio oscillator using transformer feedback. A high impedance transformer is necessary so one was made by putting two "voice coil to grid" transformers back to back.
I am using a simple propane, no air mixture, flame. The flame source is an orafice from an old propane barbecue cooker. I used it because it was handy.

"Korg EMX sequence, with DX-9 bass patched being controlled by EMX though Midi. The DX-9 bass patch was created for this track. The D-50 patch was played live and improvised over the drum machine sequences. I switched between 3 different patterns that I created, to form a 'song'. All sounds on the D-50, DX-9 and the Korg EMX were created by me using FM and L.A.S synthesis. Please enjoy :)"

You might recall the analog style step sequencer from Synthetic Bits featured in this video post (don't miss it). Well, it is now available, and it's free!!! This works with the Line 6 MIDI mobilizer, so if you have one you can use this to sequence your external synths. I can't wait to try it out.
"Little MIDI Machine is an analog-style MIDI step sequencer app for the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer interface. This app requires you own the hardware Line 6 Mobilizer MIDI interface hardware accessory for full functionality.
Little MIDI Machine gives you the step sequencing power of a hardware analog sequencer on your iPad! Program two independent sequencers that send note and velocity MIDI data out on two MIDI channels to control your hardware synthesizers. LittleMM includes many of your favorite hardware sequencer features such as mute and un-mute notes, skip steps, reverse the sequencer, adjustable clock speed, etc. If you do not have a Line 6 Mobilizer, LittleMM can generate very basic melodic sounds in place of sending MIDI. This will let you play around with the app and try it out, but it is not a feature that will be developed further and is not the primary purpose of the app. LittleMM is intended to be a MIDI sequencer driving external hardware.
With Little Music Machine you can use your Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer interface along with your favorite hardware synth and your iPad to create mind-bending loops and sequences."
Update: just checked it out. Very, very cool. You can name and save your sequences!!! You can also select the base key/note of each sequencer. BTW, if you don't have the MIDI Mobilizer you can still check out the app to get a feel for it, per above. If you have an iPad this is no brainer considering it is free.

A 9" piece of the bottom lip/baseboard has broken off
On one end, the 3 pieces of wood that make up the edge of the lid needs to be glued together, no damage, they are just not glued.

"vintage synth demo N°200 by RetroSound
thanks to all for watching, for the great comments and support.
Here is my absolute favourite Analog Synthesizer ever:
Oberheim OB-X 8-Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer from the year 1979.
The SEM based OB-X is very different to the later Curtis Chip based OB-Xa. The Sound is fantastic raw and unique.
My dream synth!
The synth demo shows some self-made retro-sounds."
YouTube via davidryle | September 29, 2010 Synth audio comes in at 2:12. "A challenge to figure out how to get a delayed envelope well after the key has been released.
The trick was three envelope generators, a signal processor, an interface Q961 and plenty of patience to dial it all in. I actually used a digital volt meter to check my voltages along the way. The inversion was particularly difficult.
I also demo'd the Oakley Equinoxe voltage controlled phase shifter. Nice sound."
