"The Filtare SEIII is a multimode, state-variable voltage-controlled filter that gives you low-pass, band-pass and high-pass outputs which are all simultaneously available. It also includes a notch output which allows you to change the balance between low-pass and high-pass. The SEIII uses discrete components but is based on SSM2040 architechture, giving you a very musical sounding filter. There are CV inputs for frequency and notch balance. The 1 V/O CV input for frequency tracks over several octaves so you can have the filter follow what you're playing on the keyboard or just crank up the resonance and use it as a sine-wave oscillator."
I used Cubase 4 to record this. The drums are Halion One 909 type of patch, the Epiano was the Emagic EVP 73 and the vibe was the M-Audio Key rig. All other sounds including the Lead was the Atomahawk 800. The work you did on this machine is genious, talk about a second chance at life. I am quite sure we've all said thank you in some way but here it goes again. Thank you Michael. James Diamond Durant
Well thanks go to James for having kindly given me permission to put his great work up here for all to enjoy. Thanks James!"
Another demo - Korg Poly 800 MK1
"Mono recording with a little hall fx added but showing the extended parameters, portamento, second LFO and automatic Poly mode changing with program changes."
Korg Poly 800 and EX 800 with HAWK-800 mod kit
"A crude attempt at demonstrating the HAWK-800 kit installed in a Korg Poly-800 Mk1 and an EX-800. A little echo is added for efx but other than that there are no other synths or effects involved in this video. As an engineer, I am not that good at mastering, encoding, composition etc so you have to forgive me for the roughness of it all. The idea is to show MIDI control of the two synths and some of the other great features of the HAWK-800 and AtomaHawk upgrade kits. Look out for the VCF cutoff and Resonance control, the Chorus toggling, DCO MG via EG3, SLFO modulation of LFO's, random sample and hold and several other new features."
YouTube via attorks "My fiftiest video already. And we have a midget module in our midst! I bought a second hand Blacet MiniWave at the end of last year. I always wondered what the possibilities were with this module. I found the ModCan version somewhat expensive. The module was delivered last Monday. After fixing some problems with it, last night it was working. This evening I started the Doepfer sequencer with a 6 step sequence on row one and out of nothing the first sequence you hear was running out of the MiniWave using the standard bank 14. Row 3 with a 16 step sequence controls the variation of the wave of the MiniWave. Adding a high pitched 8 step sequence on row two for the self-built Modular resulted in a bird-like sound. Adding the Mellotron strings part on the Roland XP-80 was easy. Solo's on the Nord Lead 1 and the Waldorf Q Keyboard to add some variety."
"Here is a preview of our ControllerDIY Board. In this video I show you how to wire a single slide potentiometer to the board with MIDI control. This board allows for digital, analog, and LED connections. If you want to skip my intro go to 2:47."
"Yamaha SK30 Symphonic Ensemble It is a analogue mono synth, poly synth, and string synth. Hammond B3 organ emulator with drawbars and Leslie effect (also has a real Leslie connector). . It has indervidual outs for each section also has CV trigger in and outs to control the Mono synth."
"Ion introduced the iDiscovery keyboard for the iPhone at CES 2010.
The iDiscovery iPhone keyboard features pitch and modulation wheels and variety of other controls which interface directly with the keyboard tutor application the board is designed to operate with.
No word on how this may or may not work with other apps - but this could be cool. Pricing is TBA."
iPhone synth controller. I wonder if it has MIDI. :) Can't wait for the iSlate.
YouTube via crunchgear. CrunchGear.com. Shown at CES. Will iSlate synth/music apps be shown at CES, NAMM, or both when they take off? I was thinking about this when going through the booth list. Looptastic On iTunes:
"It sequenced from the ableton's arpeggiator, tweaked by mouse, and i added some reverb and delay. I used the AM and I was searching waves with the joystick. The result is a little idm/glitch/noise track."

There I met with e-textiles pioneer Leah Buechley and students from her research group called "High-Low Tech," which Leah describes as "blends" of technology with traditional crafts to make new toolkits for creativity and learning."

"Here we have a working 1979 Crumar Performer Analog Synthesizer. As a huge Duran Duran fan, I nearly fell out of my chair when I found this online, it provided the strings on some of the most influential and popular New Wave 80’s albums. Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran used the Crumar Performer extensively with his Roland Jupiter 8 and Sequential Circuits Prophet. In fact, those were the only synthesizes he used on the first few albums (Notably Duran Duran and Rio), before he moved onto digital and sampling synths, starting with Seven and the Ragged Star and the Fairlight sampler synth. This synthesizer was also used by the rock band Kansas, further providing that iconic Performer string sound."
Update via Steamy Vicks in the comments: it was a Jupiter 4, not 8 in the early albums. Sold For: US $249.00
"Time to fire up the EMX-ESX-309-Revolution gang once again and make the machines scream.
This one went on a bit longer that I had planned (like it always does with improvised stuff) so I had to cut the video a bit so that it's ok for youtube.
The same camera and lense as the previous video, still waiting for the wider angle lense to be fixed; hence the tight shot.
