Nord Modular G2 "modulations"
Nord Modular G2 "modulations" from Gattobus on Vimeo.
"In this patch I used 4 resonating filters as main oscillators. Each filter is modulated by 3 LFOs (so 12 LFOs in total).
The first LFO is modulating the amplitude, the second the filter cutoff frequency, and the third is modulating the first LFO.
All the LFOs are in sync with the main clock."

1Song1Week1Year - Week11 - Slime
YouTube via DJDJSMusic
"Week 11 in my project to write one new song every week for the year 2010.
One thing I didn't consider when I started my 1Song1Week1Year project to write 52 songs in one year was coming up with 52 song titles!
This week's song I am calling slime because it seems to have that thick, viscus texture that the jars of slime that you get in joke shpos have. And also it is kind of a green(ish) colour."

Roth Mobot Experimental Electronics News and Events
click here for the newsletter
Events include:
Electronics Workshops
"Sunday, March 14, 1:00 - 4:50 PM, Old Town School of Folk Music
This crash course covers the basics of electronics, the tools of circuit exploration, and the techniques of finishing a project. No previous electronics experienced required!"
OFFF Festival in Paris
June 24, 25, 26, 2010 Roth Mobot is being flown to Paris to perform on the frontline of digital arts events at La Grande Halle de La Villette for the OFFF Festival. OFFF has become a synonym for modernity, both aesthetic and technological. OFFF is spreading the work of a generation of creators that are breaking all kinds of limits - focusing on those separating the commercial arena from the worlds of art and design. Wish us luck on getting our suitcases full of hacked electronics onto the plane. Any advice would be appreciated.
The Weekly eSymposium
EVERY Saturday, 12:00 noon - 3:00 PM
Lizard's Liquid Lounge, 3058 W Irving Park Rd, (773) 463-7599
To nurture the Midwest experimental electronics community, we host a free weekly "eSymposium," an interactive lecture series where participants are both teachers and students. There's soldering, tinkering, Q&A, show-&-tell, bending circuits, hacking toys, recycling discarded electronics and batteries, and Chicago's only weekly Circuit Bent Open Mic.
Be sure to see the link above for more and full details.

"my little Synthi AKS"
"This is my new minaiture EMS Synthi AKS - unfortunately it doesn't produce any sounds. To give an idea of scale I've included an AA battery - this thing is small... but perfectly formed.
A limited number are available in kit form from SDIYcut

BTW: In the background is a much larger Synthi AKS fridge magnet."

XILS-lab polyKB
"The polyKB is a polyphonic substractive synthesizer based on two waveform morphing, aliasing free oscillators and a self oscilating 4 poles low pass filter.The oscillators take a large part of the sound of this synthesizer but the filter recreating a standard analog chip of the 80's with the help of of very complete modulation section allow the polyKB to create incredible and warm sounds, from georgous bass to slow evoluting pad, through agressive lead and thin cristal keyboards, without fogoten a wide range of special effects.
The modulation section of the polyKB acts like a matrix with five dedicated sources (LFO, ADSR,VCO,NOISE,VELOCITY) and five dedicated destinations (VCO 1 and 2 pitch, VCO 1 and 2 waveform,VCF frequency).
To increase the sound design possibilities, six menus have being added, two for the sources, four for the destination, with which a wide range of modules can be choosen
(Velocity, sequencer ouputs, LFO freq, Filter res, VCO levels, to name but a few)
The polyKB brings also a very powerful polyphonic sequencer.
The sequencer can record and play 8 voices independently as well as the pitch than the velocity. To control the sequence, a 2 to 128 steps clock system allows a wide range of rythms and patterns.
Of course the sequencer outputs can be assigned as a source of modulation, opening the sound posibilities endless."

Hohner Little Lady
via Philippe Van den Berge
"I have stumbled here on a strange and unknown hohner keyboard. Unknown because I seem to find no information whatsoever about it. I have mailed hohner germany today, and i hope they will have some answers. On the other hand, they may not, so I thought about letting you know about it."
If anyone knows more about this one feel free to comment or email me. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site.
Update: DenDer wrote in to let me know this is for sale on synthforum.nl here. He will try to get some more info from the seller.Update: description from the forum translated by DenDer:
"I have a Hohner Little Lady and it is a keyboard and not the harmonica. There is a built-in (analog) rhythm section which has the typical tango, swing, waltz beat in them. Thee sounds are very basic: Flute 16' Flute 8' Trombone 16' String 16' Clarinet 8' which can be used separately or together - say additive. He has a separate bass manual option, where the left half (first octave) accounts for the bass. Or automatically when the rhythm is running which Hohner calls "magic bass" Wooohoo!
There is an aluminum stand which strongly reminds me of a Yamaha CS80. There are also "wood side panels" present. The Little Lady also has a build in speaker on the underside of the case."Update: you can find an mp3 via Philippe of the Little Lady here.
Update: pics of the inside added below.
Update: this was also branded as the SKYLINE FORTYNINE P. Thanks goes to David L for writing in to let us know!
HOHNER STRING PERFORMER SYNTHESIZER
via this auction"Vintage 1980s Hohner String Performer synthesizer. This is an extremely rare synthesizer, and the same type of keyboard Moby used for his string sounds on almost all of his albums, giving you that huge fat sustained string sound. Sounds for this synth include Piano, Bass, Clavichord, Cello, Viola, Violin, Brass, String, Clarinet, Planet, and Octave setting. The Piano, Bass, Clavichord, Cello, Viola, and Violin have individual level faders for upper and lower registers, as well as, a sustain fader; and the Brass, String, Clarinet, and Planet sounds have a solo volume fader. The rear of this unit includes: General, Bass, Strings, Piano/Clav. Solo, Sustain Piano, and Footswell 1/4" inputs; and an 18volt power adapter input (power cord is included in this auction). This is a very cool German engineered synth that also doubles as a carrying case with a flip of the latches. This synth is extremely hard to find"

UBS: Sherman REstyler and Juno-G for live performance test.
YouTube via adoremotion
"Small test with the Juno-G with a very simple basic moog patch going into the sherman REstyler. This will probably be the main live keyboard setup for uncertain boxed saviour.
The Juno-G is also a great sampler ! Melody loop plays from the Juno-G's sequencer.
I've used a similar setup with a Jomox M-resonator but the input distortion isn't that good and too muddy. Sherman shines and blows the resonator away for this type of work: fatten digital synths.
