Thread updated with two new videos :)"

Cool.

Nice LONG DSI Evolver video. This is literally like testing out a new synth for the first time. You basically get to sit there with him and check out a full range of sounds the Evolver is capable of. Very, very cool. It's a great example of of how bold and full an Evolver can sound as a lead instrument. Via Axiom, via electro-music.com. Title link takes you there.

Minimoog Shot

Great Minimoog shot. Title link takes you to the VSE post where I found it.

EMS-Rehberg Video Synthesizer

This popped up on my randomn picture viewer. I checked the EMS site (title link) and couldn't find this exact unit. I see the EMS Spectre, but it doesn't quite look like this. I did a quick search and didn't find much. If you know anything about it or a good site on it, please feel free to comment.

Emax SE Page and Tribute

Chris Strellis put up a page on his Emax SE with a really nice track featuring nothing but the Emax SE. Nice and gritty. Has a very heavy weight to it. Not completely 4AD, but the weight on tracks of This Mortal Coil definitely come to mind. Well worth checking out. Title link takes you there.

The PorchBoard - Analog Bass

Trip. In via Synth80 on AH, via Harmony Central.



"Designed to revive the lost art of self accompaniment, the Porchboard Bass is an analog rhythm instrument designed to allow low-end, player controlled, self accompaniment using the natural technique of foot tapping. Because it's player controlled, the Porchboard Bass is legitimately accepted in the concert venue. Each tap of the foot produces a low-end, full-bodied, bassy beat that is more percussive than a bass guitar, yet sounds fuller and more resonant than most bass drums."

TR-909 Mod Page

Via Jonodo on AH. Title link takes you there.



The following mods extend the range of the Tune and Decay controls, and add three new controls:

Pitch - controls the frequency of the bass drum oscillator
Drive - allows waveform adjust from normal to square, for hard clipped sounds
Tune Depth - varies the amount of initial pitch sweep (decay set by TUNE control)

Chocopoolp

I swear my blog reader must be busted, because I don't remember seeing this post on Music Thing. Chocopoolp (nice name) makes a couple of music apps for the Palm. The first is Bhajis Loops a sampler/sequencer and Microbe (1 drum machine, 2 synthesizers, and 18 effects). Click here for choco-poop, chocolate poop, I mean Chocopoolp.com.
