Microkorg Piano patch tutorial
YouTube via hdebbache2000
"Please rate..
Hey there. I got a lot of requests to explain how I made the piano patch from one of my videos. I dont understant why someone would want to make a piano on an analog synth, the instrument of the future!! Whatever, here are the instructions, just follow the annotations and you'll have a wonderful paddy-piano-ish sound to mess with. Cheers!
Note: This is not a real piano! so it will be realistic only on a limited range of notes
Note 2: yeah it's a digital wave on OSC1, meaning the sound is not analog.. But for analog freaks, changing it to saw or triangle will be close enought, and it will be analog"
Microkorg custom patches: Pink Floyd Improv, electric guitar, strings
YouTube via hdebbache2000
"Watch in high quality! A little improv on Pink floyd "Shine on you crazy diamonds", and a demo of some new sounds i've figured out."
Microkorg custom patches: Brass, piano, lead and arpeggio, and blade runner blues cover
"The purpose is to demonstrate some of the patches i have accumulated since i bought the thing, six months ago. I tried to replace the Enter Shikari style patches with more vintage ones. And there is an attempt at imitating Vangelis at 1:10.... Enjoy!"
Microkorg custom patches 2: Lead, distorted inter-modulation
"I've just discovered the inter-modulation feature, which lets you modulate a sine wave of osc 1 using osc 2 (as in a digital synth I suppose?). The result is a dirty distorted sound, as shown in some of the segments. Sorry for the lousy sound quality, it is recorded using the webcam's software, from a thinkpad laptop... anyways, enjoy!"
Microkorg: Daft Punk, Vintage and Pad stuff
"This time, I created some patches designed to emulate some of Daft Punk's well known sounds while adding something of my own (Da Funk, Short Circuit). Drums are made using Ableton. This synth is very powerful, and is definitely not a toy, sadly it is used mostly by amateurs. Also, some film themes, pad improvisation etc. Enjoy in High Def!"
Microkorg patches: more Vangelis, pads, leads brass etc, high quality
"Watch in high quality to hear good quality sounds, the difference is amazing." Click the HQ button.
Synth Blues Improv with Alesis Micron
YouTube via hdebbache2000. A bit JMJ (specifically at :38).
"Rate/Comment please. Hey there, here is a blues jam obviously inspired by Vangelis Blade Runner, but it is'nt a cover. It is to show the Micron's amazing capabilities. The sounds are custom, and I'm especially proud of the brass patch. In a while I'll start doing some more rythmic pieces like jarre and such, for now I just wanted to master this synth, so here is a relatively simple improv. Enjoy! And watch in high quality, the sound quality is worth it."
Blade Runner Main Titles Synth Cover with Alesis Micron
"Hey, I just got my Micron, and wanted to test it. I created a setup with a pad, a CS80 like lead, and some glass keys. I think the lead sound is close enought. The Micron is really a powerful synth... Only thing lacking is aftertouch. The playing is slow due to manipulations (expression, octave change etc). Enjoy!"

Ted's Noise Synth
flickr by crayxax
(click for mouse-overs and more)
"Someone asked me to build them a custom noise synth and this is the result. Kind of a combination of my last two, with some added tweaks, it sounds very harsh. Has some weird personality traits when you switch on the ring mod function and depending on how much voltage you starve, certain controls start affecting other controls. I'm very pleased with it. Not sure if I'll keep these knobs or go for metal ones I used on my last box.

Prototype Moog Rogue Synth Housing / Case
via this auction
"This is a Prototype Housing. A development unit...s/n D1008.
It consists of the top panel with sides and the bottom plate.
The Pitch and Mod wheels are also attached along with the associated LHC wiring.
Two of the rubber feet are attached and the other two are packed loose. (They are mounted when the keyboard is installed)
When looking at the rear panel, it appears that the screening was redone to accommodate the following changes.
The rear panel 'Moog' Logo was originally positioned where it now says 'The Rogue' and vice versa. (see rear pic.)
There looks to be some overspray on the front panel left area.(see pic)
There are some scratches and imperfections, as it is a Moog Prototype unit."

Studio re-shuffle

Apple Computer - Leading The Way (Remix)
YouTube via ratsouffle
"A complete re-recording of the Apple corporate song (sans cheesy 80s lyrics). The keyboard featured is a Clavia Nord Lead 3. The original track appears heavily based on 'What a Feeling' from the musical Flashdance, with similar instrumentation, melody and singing style - Apple obviously wanted to reference or parody this.
Some parts of this song were tricky to figure out thanks to the numerous and slightly odd key changes (prevelent in much music of the time, it seems). Bassline is the leftmost video.
More info to come."
Malekko: Anti-Oscillator and Noisering
flickr by Analogue Haven
"The next two Wiard modules being put out by Malekko are the Anti-Oscillator and the Noisering. These two should be available around the end of July. The Noisering is the same as the Wiard 1200 series but with the addition of a toggle switch that will make the jack above it a clock input or clock output. The Anti-Oscillator is a new analog oscillator from Grant Richter with some very interesting waveshaping capabilities. Congrats to Malekko for getting the Wiard stuff out in Eurorack so efficiently! LINK" http://www.analoguehaven.com/

A subtle theme
YouTube via attorks
"This theme can somewhat be compared with the previous uploaded Minimal theme. The first version of this theme had only the Waldorf Q with the sequence and the Nord Lead 1 for the solo. I hooked up the MAQ16/3 and added some sequences to make it more interesting. The first sequence is a 4 step one from the MAQ16/3. The second and main sequence is a 32 step sequence from the Waldorf Q Keyboard. This sequencer also drives the clock for the MAQ16/3. The transpose for the MiniMax and the Q is done form the Q's keyboard. The Theremin like solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. After that a rhythmic 8 step sequence from the self-build Modular joins and an 8 step sequence from the Synthesizers.com Modular. These sequences are not transposed and that's the reason the third transpose is different. The Mellotron Choir sound is from the Roland XP-80 which has the Vintage 70&80 card in it. Hope you enjoy it."

TH VCO-1 finished
via a_guy_called_tom on this electro-music.com thread.
"Today, thanks to the terrible weather, i was finally able to complete my new TH VCO-1 oscillator stack and i thought i'd share some pics here.
I choose the VCO-1 design because its a triangle core and apparently good for FM. The few tests i did so far are very promising, i like this VCO. I didn't use a tempco and did not match the transistors for the expo converter, i have yet to find out how good the tracking is.. Anyway, thanks to TH for making these designs available for the DIY community!"

Hybrid Sid-Style Snaredrum Drumsynth of the TinyRhythm
YouTube via stereoping
"This is the second of the 8 modules of my diy microcontrolled hybrid drumsynthesizer - the Snaredrum module. It gets a trigger from a baseboard and sends back an audiosignal to a mixerboard. The baseboard wants some midinotes to send triggers to the modules.
Well this one is VERY simple. It consists of a tiny13 microcontroller and a dual opamp, about 2 EUR :-). The 3 pots for Tune, Bend (positive/negative with different speeds) and Soundlength go into the DACs of the tiny13. It directly outluts a squarewave and shifted (tunable) noise. Both audios are blended by the 4th pot and mixed together and buffered.
The cool thing about this: if the bendenvelope is much faster than the soundlength, the values 'wrap around' the 8bit borders of 0 and 255 resulting in multiple BlipBlipBlip-Nintendo sounds."
