First demo of MiniBrasil, the Minimoog clone from Brasil

"Little demonstration of MiniBrasil's sound. MiniBrasil is a Minimoog clone I am building, not as a literally copy of it's circuits, but with modules developed by myself. Building progress can be viewed on my BLOG http://www.blogminibrasil.blogspot.com/."

Magnus Electric Chord Organ harmonium accordion synth

via this auction

"This is a relative rarity I believe. It has one voice, which sounds just like a harmonium or an accordion. It is electric, you have to plug it in. It has a built-in internal speaker and no provision for a separate output jack to put it into a mixer, though I suppose it would be easy to hook one up, we've always just miked it. It has 12 chord buttons on the left - push down and get the chord. The list of chords on the bottom row is missing but they are obvious and if you want to you can place separate little stickers there. The case is made out of plastic and has several scratches as might be expected. The bottom is made out of particle board and has three screw-ins (one is missing) where legs used to be - it no longer has these legs but they would be easy to replace if you desire as the screw-ins look to be standard. We always have used it on top of a desk or QuikLok light-duty table. Everything works - buttons sound chords, all notes depress and play. A very psychedelic sound, especially if you run it through a phase or tremolo pedal." Update via Greg in the comments: "No internal speaker. Runs off of pure air that comes from an internal fan. Just like an accordion."

The indecisiveness

YouTube via attorks | July 16, 2010

"Again a long improvisation of which you see the first half in this video. After the introduction you hear 2 sequences. The Synthesizers.com Q960 is shifted by the gate of row 3 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 which has an 8-step sequence with steps 2, 4 and 8 off. The Q960 drives the Synthesizers.com Modular which is also transposed by an 4-step sequence on row 2 of the MAQ16/3. The self-built Modular is driven from row 1 of the MAQ16/3 which has an 5 step sequence but the gate comes from row 3 of the MAQ16/3. The strings are performed by the Roland XP-80 (CS imitation) and the Clavia Nord Lead 1. The Waldorf does the random tones, chords and basses. The solo is performed on the Creamware MiniMax ASB.

You can see the full 20 minute video on my website soon.

This video is dedicated to Mark and Tessa: I will always be there for you."

Moog Memorymoog Plus - shredding demo - 18 oscillators of pure analog power

"More music on umop.com/parallax.htm

This is an amazingly huge and beefy synthesizer. I am selling it for a friend of mine, but not until I've had a couple of days to play with it! It is the thickest, wettest, fattest synthesizer among at least a hundred that I've owned & played over the years. When I turn up the Cutoff 100% with the Emphasis at zero, the sky rips open and writhing Lovecraftian demons descend upon my condo complex, raining down javelins of sonic plasma into the fabric of ultimate blabbity blabbity you get the idea.

This is an auction demo so there's a few dry moments here and there where I'm autotuning and testing all 67 keys chromatically, but I kept it shreddy enough to hopefully entertain my faithful subscribers for a few minutes."

Cosey's hacked nanoPAD

flickr by Chris_Carter_
"The 12 'tap pads' on Cosey's Korg nanoPAD have always been 'problematic' to say the least but recently they stopped working completely… again! Because the pads were pretty rubbish anyway she mostly used the Kaoss pad section (to control her soft-synth) so rather than buy yet another unit I sliced off the right-hand pads section with a Dremel - an easy job as the pads are just connected via a flat removable ribbon cable.
She now has a fully functioning USB Kaoss Pad - that's still configurable via the Korg Kontrol Editor app.
I love it when a plan comes together."

DOEPFER A-100 with KORG MONOPOLY

"Yesterday I bought my new modular A-100. I picked it up personally from Dieter Doepfer near Munich. We talked much about analog equipment... and I saw the prototype of the interesting new analog sequencer - the DARK TIME. Dieter Doepfer is a very nice man, who listen to users... Thank you.

Later, at home, I put the A-100 together (It was easier than I thought) and here are the first experiments... I played the Korg MonoPoly through the A-100. Mainly you hear the external signal processor, filters and the voltage controlled phaser.

I also used the Lexicon MPX500 and Roland DEP-5 fx processors."
