Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction. Someone should call Phil Cirocco of The Novachord Restoration Project.

"Derek Sherinians (Billy Idol, Dream Theater) did something similar on one his last tour. He had a bunch of nords and a Z1 covered in red tape. Not sure if I like the angled keyboards though."

"Writing under my alter ego of STRELLIS instead of Voynich (or is that the other way round?), I have an analogish track for you to listen too.

Numbers have mystic powers and affect our lives. Different numbers influence us in different ways none more so than the power of 9. Is this the real life?, is this just fantasy?, caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.

Roland S330 12-bit sampler is used for VP330 Vocoder Plus choir pads, VP330 strings build up and VP330 strings lead. Digital representation of something very analogue.
Korg DW8000 is used for unison bass sequence (marvellously juicy) (8 VCFs in those notes!)
Ensoniq Mirage for piano and organ duties. (CEM filters)
Roland JX-10 for bell sounds, fuzz sync solo, string pad wah and the bass and pad at the end
Linn 9000 for drums (CEM filters)

I don't really believe there are powers in numbers except perhaps for 101,202,303,808 and 909 :)

I hope you enjoy the track

P.S I've taken down the Acxel Resynthesiser video files becuase you analogue guys have download 2GB of my 5GB/month bandwidth, 340 downloads, on just these videos about a digital snythesiser!

Hmm.... Something tells me we had something to do with that bandwidth issue. : ) Feel free to post whether you like the pre or remastered version of the track.

Title link takes you to there.

Recommendation: When you get there, right click and save the mp3 links on the bottom of the page, queue them up, and then click on the rotating icon link and enjoy. Some amazing music and great shots.

P.S. You might recognize PSProject from this post.

I believe this is a MicroKorg seminar based on the link. If you know Japanese, feel free to comment. Check out the first shot when you get there though. Instead of the synths being ready to play, they are all in there boxes, requiring the users to unpack them first. Why? If they all got a free MicroKorg out of this, that would be one seminar I wouldn't mind attending.

Just your monthly synth p*rn thread on VSE. This one does have some nice shots though. Title link takes you there. And of course I referred them here. Shots saved here for posterity as eventually the VSE thread will dissapear into limbo.

Remember Forat? Looks like he custom painted Madonna's keyboard player's rig as well (Roland Fantom, X7, SH-201, and V-synth); looks like the V-synth XT remains black and isolated in plexiglass. Title link takes you there.
