"I had the honor to contribute some patches for the Bob Moog Tribute library from Spectrasonics for Omnisphere.
The soundtrack of this clip was done using only sounds from that library including a couple of the ones that i made.
If you purchase the library you can enter a competition to win the OMG-1, a very unique synthesizer that was invented by Eric Persing. Head over to spectrasonics.net for more details!

The video is a mashup of computer generated and real footage including some cool timelapse stuff from the videoblocks library."

"Melody is from a 259e controlled by the inspiring K4816.
I offset it (transpose) with the 222e, and control also a few 259e and 281e parameters with it.
The K4816 "Motion Type" is changed via a mouse at right hand.
The 259e get out straight and also through a 296e in Stereo, this one controls a second 296e which is feeded with a stereo voice drone.
Drums, Strings, Horns, Piano and Hans Zimmer Guitars overdubs."

YAMAHA SS 30 rare vintage analog string synth

via this auction

SN 1381

"Very rare yamaha ss 30 vintage string synth , never released in the US
- often compared to the ARP Solina String Synth .

This one in near mint condition . There are a few small marks and scratches.

A chunky (its heavy, 20kg!!) wood veneered string synth from the 70's. Its a dedicated string synth with all the control needed to make those 70's string sounds. It really has a rich and lush sound , wonderfully simple and effective controls.
This example is 100% working and cosmetically in excellent condition except for some small chips to the veneer.

Control section running from left to right: pitch/ detune - The outer pot adjusts the overall tuning and the inner pot detunes the voices against the pitch which can produce a wonderful thickening effect ( some sources describe this synth as a duphonic/ multiphonic ,others describe it as a 4 voice polyphonic. It uses divide down chips enabling all keys to be played at once)

Orchestra -Depth ( Speed 1/2 ,cello ,violin ) A great ensemble effect with 2 different effect types (speed) and the ability to separate the effect between cello and violin ( so you can have ,for example cello effect and violins dry )

Vibrato ,Delay/Depth- Very nice vibrato effect.

Sustain, Cello /Violin - sustain 1 control each for cello and violin giving again the ability to have separate amount of sustain for cello and violin sections . Very short to very long .

Keyboard split 0/1/2/3 .0 setting is no split and just the violin sound over the whole range. 1 gives a split with the lowest octave for cellos the rest strings. 2 setting gives 1 and a half octaves to the cello . 3 gives 2 octaves to the cello. The splits are indicated by a white dot above the note on the control panel
Cello ,Volume, attack/slow ,cello1/cello2 - control section for cellos giving control over attack fast/slow. Choice of 2 cello sounds.

Violin Attack/Slow, Viola/violin1/Violin2 /Volume - Same as cello control section though the volume is at the far right.

Brilliance Cello/Violin Very usable low pass filter for cello and violin."

ROLAND - 2 original 1970's synth badges

via this auction

"These are the badges from the mid to late seventies Roland synth. The square badge was probably off a System 700 cabinet, the skinny badge was possibly from an SH-7. They're plastic, and some of the silver's come off, but they'll come up good with some silver paint (or Texta!)"

YouTube Uploaded by soundtrends on May 13, 2011

"This is a new version of the short preview video showing some WIFI MIDI sync capabilities we are adding to our Looptastic HD (for iPad) and grüvtron (for iPad/ iPhone/iPod touch) apps. It is using the Apple Core MIDI services found in iOS 4.2 or above. Basically we updated the captions to make it more obvious which device the different elements in the mix were coming from.

We will have more videos available as we get closer to shipping these versions.

Strafing The Racetrack.mov

YouTube Uploaded by davidryle on May 13, 2011

"A quick demonstration of Yves Usson's Voltage Controlled Quadrature LFO. I sent each quadrant into a separate oscillator . The same voltage was split with a "Y" cable and sent to adjacent amplifiers. For instance, if the voltage from zero degree was sent to oscillator one then the same voltage was sent to amplifier two which had the 90 degree oscillator running through it. The voltage from 90 degrees was sent to oscillator two and the same voltage was sent to amplifier three, etc..
This made the quadrature become the delay envelope to the rising/falling portion of the next quadrant pitch only. When the "direction" switch was thrown, the pitch changed direction from rising to descending.
In this demo the voltage control (FM INPUT) was not used. This is a powerful feature which Yves built into the design."

iFS1R v1.2 Wireless iPad Editor Now Available‏‏

"Apple has released iFS1R v1.2 for Yamaha FS1R, a free upgrade for all iFS1R v1.1 users.

iFS1R v1.2 offers:
- a redesigned look & feel for enhanced readability plus some very tiny UI adjustments to make the workflow even better
- parameter default value buttons. In v1.2, if you touch the parameter value label, it resets the label and slider to a default value (ex: Operator Coarse Frequency = 1.00, Operator Fine Frequency = 1.00, etc...) for each parameter... this is the fastest workflow you'll ever get in sound designing!
- iFS1R automatically enables / disables the relevant parameter set based on some parameters values (ex: Wave = Formant enables the formant parameters and disables the other non-formant parameters) to help you master the unit."
