Trans X - Living on a Video on YouTube

Wow. I totally forgot about this song. I used to love the synth hooks. Also love the "integrated circuits" bit through a vocoder. Some nice air keyboards in the performance for you as well as a funky robot dance. : ) I can't make out what looks like a modular in the backgroud. If you know what it is, feel free to comment.

Here's the video for Living on Video with a Roland SH-101 and retro computers. Man this brings me back to clubbing in the 80s. And no the clubs were not that cheesy. They always made the alternative scene look moronic on tv and video back then.

Korg VCF

Trip. Never seen one of these before. Title link takes you to a new info page on the Korg VCF on sequencer.de. Note how the controls look similar to the Minikorg 700s.

Death of Kantos?

This one in via Brian Comnes:

"Antares, the folks who brought you the ever famous "Cher-effect" with Autotune have apparently dropped their Kantos product. It is nowhere to be found on their site.

This is one weird softsynth and it has my all time favorite user interface, a copy of which is below for your posterity files. I see it and I think of Will Smith in the Martian cruiser in Men in Black.

Kantos used audio in as the driver for a 2 oscillator synth and a whole lot of other sound shaper/benders, the characteristics of the sound in could be used as a mod matrix for any and all of the parameters in the tool. Needless to say it produced weird stuff. On my more cynical days I would take George W. Bush sound clips on the Iraq war and turn those into break beats. If i can find one I'll send it later. I also use it to take my guitar to strange strange places.

My guess it is it did not sell well and hence the withdrawal.

For those who want grab some history, those wonderful Wisconsin folks at www.novamusik.com are having a blow out sale for $49. Warning: It has that BS online challenge response authentication so it is limited pretty much to one computer and I worry for how long they will support that, 'cause I get a new computer about every 18 months

Peace
Brian"
