The PE 1000 has a number of presets, but the real fun begins when you stray from the path and start tweaking the synth patches in real time. A number of parameters are available, such as Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Waveform mode ; while these may seem fundamental and crude by today's standards, they are capable of some respectable sound mangling and warpage. This synth just oozes a 70s vibe, and has an organic character that is difficult to emulate in spite of its supposed simplicity."

A contribution by Palle Dahlstedt to the Sounding December project, soundingdecember.com.
"Calder asked Duchamp, "What should I call these things." Duchamp replied, "Mobiles," this was a French pun, which meant motive and motion. Jean Paul Sartre described the mobile as," The mobile is a little private celebration, an object defined by its movement and having no other existence. A mobile does not suggest anything. It captures genuine living movements. Mobiles have no meaning, they are, that is all." (from articons.co.uk/calder.htm)""
YouTube via peahix "This is another of the demo programs provided in the Roland MC-8 manual. This time it's a Bach Invention, played back on a Roland SH-101 synth (not seen in the video). The first part of the video is specifically designed to bore you with stunning footage of me entering the channel 1 CV data for the first 3 pages of the 10-page score. Be thankful that I didn't decide to include the entire CV/Step/Gate data entry process for the entire score. In the 2nd part of the video, you hear the entire mixed piece, played back in sync with the MC-8 displaying the CV data for channel 1.
For more info about the MC-8, and to see high-res scans of the score & program data sheets for this piece, please visit http://www.rolandmc8.wordpress.com"

YouTube via theraywilsonshow "Hi this is the same video as the previous one with a couple of minor tweaks where I noticed I forgot to do transitions between clips and stuff nothing major. If you already saw the previous one there is nothing new. This video demonstrates the functionality of the MFOS Multi-Function Module (MFM). It has a linear lag processor, an RC lag processor, two 3 input DC voltage mixers with bias control and normal and inverted outputs and lastly a voltage meter with +/-1V, +/-5V, +/-10V ranges. It's a "Swiss Army Knife" module and you can use all or part of it in your application. "
"Soviet synth Alisa 1377 example of sounding. Made by non-professional player. Please do not judge me strongly. I tried to show it is working to sell it."
"I found these sweeping sounds a bit too interesting to discard this piece, although it may not be up to par with most of the others. The JUNO-6 continues to surprise me; It has the most basic and easy layout and yet is capable of an incredible array of sounds."
