PNW06: David Skinner Demos his Synthesizers.com Modular

One last video of David Skinner and his Synthesizers.com modular at this year's Pacific Northwest Synthesizer Meeting. Click here for previous posts featuring David Skinner and his synthesizer.com.

BTW, this is my last video for this year's PNW Meeting, so for those of you that need a break from the videos, your break is here. : ) Thanks for bearing with me all, this blog is where I archive this stuff for me and others to look back at over time. Trust me, putting these videos up was a bit more work for me as well.

PNW 06: John Bowen Talks About Sequential Circuits

Uploaded on Apr 19, 2011 matrixsynth

Eleven videos of John Bowen talking about his experience at Sequential Circuits at this year's Pacific Northwest Synthesizer Meeting. Apologies for the number of videos and short lengths of each. If you don't have time to watch all of this in one sitting, this might actually be to your advantage. Update: At 2:08 in Part 6 John mentions his classic sync preset used by The Cars Let's Go. Earlier in the vid, he also talks about conversations with Pat Gleeson and the concept of charging for presets.

Minimoog shown at this year's Pacific Northwest Synthesizer Meeting. This is a pretty good example of the symptoms in this post. BTW, I didn't catch the presenter's name, if you know it feel free to post it in the comments.

Warning: For those of you that complained about the last Creamware/Prophet 5 video, you might want to skip this one as well. This is synth geek material.

James Gallant talks about his Roland CMU-800 at this year's Pacific Northwest Synthesizer Meeting. Videos of the CMU-800 playing coming this week. Note the CMU-800 has eight channels of CV and gate.

PNW06: David Skinner Demo's his Synthesizers.com Modular

Ok, here's the first of a few videos I will be putting up on this year's Pacific Northwest Synth Meeting since my first post. I will preface the title of the posts with PNW06 so you know these are from the event. These two are of David Skinner showing his Synthesizers.com modular. P.S. That's not me asking the questions. : ) I'm just filming.

Note (4/19/2011): the following was originally on Google Video. I couldn't find the post here on MATRIXYSNTH, so I am adding it to this pot. See the pnw2006 label for more.

PNW Synth Meeting 2006 Images and Video

This year's Pacific Northwest Synth Meeting was a blast. I want to thank John Marshall of Sound-Photo for organizing the event and for the pizza. Good stuff! I really enjoyed the pace of the event this year. It was pretty laid back, and I met a lot of great people. Even some that read Matrixsynth! : ) The meeting started at 10:00 AM. I was about half an hour late. When I got there people were just hanging out, talking and playing synths. Once everyone was settled in, we did a show and tell where each person talked a little about themselves and what they brought. Halfway through we stopped for pizza and after pizza, we continued on. All of the talks were great. There were a few funny moments and surprises including some Sequential Circuits history from John Bowen. This year I took a ton of video and unfortunately neglected the camera a bit. The title link of this post will take you to the shots I did take. As for the video, I took over 3 gigs worth, so they will go up over time. This first video is a pan of everyone at the event. You can hear the synths talking to each other in the background. : ) BTW, I want to say thank you to everyone I met. All great people in my book. As for those of you that want the synth content, the vids are coming. I'll be posting all of them over the next few days, and I'll make sure to call out they are from PNW 2006. There is one caveat though: the max file size for YouTube is currently 100M, so some of the larger videos will have to wait. Note that not long ago the limit was 50M, so hopefully it won't be too long.
