EVI Serge by vgermuse Part 3

YouTube via matrixsynth, via Todd Barton, aka vgermuse:
"at the request of many folks on and off line, I have put together a 6 minute piece using just the EVI1000/EWV2000 analog synth. This features sounds I created for my work with Anthony Braxton and the Northwest Creative Orchestra. Sometimes the sounds are sent through Moogerfooger Murf, Moogerfooger Ring Modulator, Boss RC-20 loop and some reverb. I recorded the track via the mixing board so things are pretty clean." You can grab the video and other demos off of vgermuse's website. Follow-up to this post.

Formanta UDS

images via this auction
"Formanta UDS fully analog electronic percussion synthesizer. Formanta UDS is soviet version of classic analog beat-box so as Roland TR and Simmons. Synth was prodused in 80-s years in USSR on the same military plant in Kachkanar where well known synth Polivoks was developed. This one was made for export from USSR i suppose, because it has main panel layout in english. Sound of UDS is very aggressive and "military". And it looks like the piece of soviet army gear - heavy, khaki colored and studded with knobs. It is very powerfull drum synth. You have 5 independent channels of drum sound synthesis. In every channel you can change: trigger signal sensitivity, base tone pitch, pitch envelope time, amount of pitch modulation, noise/tone ballance, filter's cutoff for noise, accent amount, channel's volume. Then we have additional channel for cymbal and hi-hat synth sounds. UDS has its own onboard drum sequencer with 16 different drum patterns. You can start sequencer, choose one from 16 patterns and change its temp by knob. You can switch every synthesis channel to its preset sound or switch it in "synthesis" mode and then control channel's parameters by 8 knobs. Also you can trig every channel by external trigger source - drum mashine, midi-cv converter, analog sequencer or electronic drum pad. On its top there are mono sum audio out and stereo audio out. All audio plugs in common jack standart. You can get many cool grooves just using its internal sequencer, not to mention external triggering.

Here is my audio demo of UDS. Synth was recorded from its stereo audio outs direct to PC without any additional effects and without multitracking.

Dr. Who Tardis for Your Bedroom

Some lucky 10 year old kid got this Dr. Who Tardis built for his bedroom. Anyone know more about this? I'm particularly curious if it makes any sound of course. Everything I've seen goes back to this anemic article on The Sun which doesn't reveal much.

It would definitely make for one hell of a synth.
