SYNTESLA SDLF-1 Resonance Demo.
video upload by SynTesla
"The SynTesla SDLF-1 Filter offers a resonance rich in harmonics for a very musical rendering. For this short demo, the output mode is set to 'clean' and the resonance to 90%. All you need is a simple square wave to start traveling."

Strange Motorised Sound Device
video upload by Pj Tardiveau
"This strange 'Steampunk' device is a motorised noise generator. I made it several years ago and never had a chance to demonstrate it on video. So here it is! ( and sorry for the annoying little sound sequence ) this device combines a low-frequency mechanical oscillator with an analogue delay and various modulation effects."

Steampunk Mutable Instruments Shruthi Synth Digital/Analogue Hybrid
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Shruthi synthesizer (electronics designed by Mutable Instruments) in a steampunk vintage style box with brass panel. It is a digital/analogue hybrid monophonic synthesizer with digital oscillators but analogue filter and VCA. This one is fitted with the "4-pole mission" variable state filter with several flavours of resonance. Four extra knobs have been added to control the Shruthi's CV inputs and their function can be programmed uniquely for each patch using the routing matrix. (Note: by default they do nothing unless allocated in the routing matrix).
The operation manual can be found here.
Just for clarity, Shruthi is an open source design and the "official" Mutable PCB's have not been used in this build. However the electronics are 100% as per the Mutable Instruments design. I am a Mutable "Trusted Builder".
The "light bulbs" are actually LED's cunningly designed to look like light bulbs. There is a battery compartment (6 x AA) on the underside for portable use, but it can also be powered externally via the socket on the back. The brass is beginning to show a "patina" which adds to the vintage feel."

Dr. Blankenstein Workshops Coming to Maker Faire Detroit 2016
via @Dr_Blankenstein
"A shout out to #upcycling genius @TimSway in @TheHenryFord museum interview"
You'll find the interview here along with details on the event.
"At Maker Faire Detroit 2016, Drew Blanke—more formally known as “Dr. Blankenstein”—will arrive, trailing a rolling suitcase full of broken toys and noise-making creations along behind him. Over the weekend of July 30-31, 2016, Blanke will hold workshops to teach people how to “up-cycle electronics into one-of-a-kind 21st century art.” He asks that guests interested in participating in the workshop bring along broken electronics from home—to “open them, inspect them, and learn from them.” He will also have a few of his own creations available for hands-on demonstrations."
Left: one of Dr. Blankenstein's creations. Like a steampunk electronic guitar.
Below: "Dr. Blankenstein is pictured here demonstrating one of his creations to Herbert Deutsch, co-inventor of the Moog synthesizer."

Yew Tree Magic's Steampunk Shruthi Sound Designer Edition
This one in via Martin Walker of Sound on Sound and Yew Tree Magic. In addition to the Steampunk style case, there are a number of mods available. If you already own a Shruthi SMR4-mkII, step-by-step guides for the mods are also available on site.
"Housed in a polished wood and brass steampunk-styled casing, the SDE (Sound Designer Edition) is an extensive mod by Martin Walker, giving a host of extra features to the Shruthi-1 with the SMR-4 MkII analogue filter, including:

FLAVOUR: six resonant types from extra IR3109 acid squelch, soft resonance, germanium limiting, to evil half-wave rectification.
FMOD: allows the audio signal to directly modulate the filter cutoff frequency - cue rubbery, wobbly sounds and FM mayhem!
DRIVE: for adding overdrive and distortion effects.
FEED: variable filter feedback for extra tonal changes and circuit-bent mayhem.
RESCMP: three different resonance compensation treatments mimicking Roland, Moog and Korg filter types.
Extensive audio demos and step-by-step circuit mod guides are provided at www.yewtreemagic.co.uk/soundworlds2.php, so you can add any or all of the mods to your own Shruthi SMR4-mkII synth."

Steampunk Field Detector Working Film Prop Synthesizer Analog portable
Published on Jun 3, 2014 J Tracy·19 videos
"We did the props for a local small film ('Dr. Argyle's Advancements in Propulsion'-release TBD) and this is an extra made for demo purposes which is a double of the "Field Detector" contracted designs they ultimately purchased.
Its essentially a very simple analog synthesizer along the lines of a stepped tone generator/Atari Punk Synth with the speaker in the box, along with an amp circuit which makes it MORE than loud enough to play in a room and have everyone hear. Runs on 9v so is portable."
