The Rise of the Machines

Title link takes you to a Real Audio video of RTE Publishing's "This Note's For You" episode six, "The Rise of the Machines." It's a great video with tons of synths. The synths come in around 3:39 and are throughout the video from that point on. I checked YouTube and Google Video to see if I could find it to embed in the post, but no such luck, so the title link it is. Enjoy.

Virtual Ensoniq SQ-80

Just saw this on Synthwire. Wow. This would cover the Ensoniq ESQ-1 as well. The 80 included more waveforms and polyphonic aftertouch. Title link takes you to the post with links to the software and audio comparisons with the original. Nice catch Carbon111!

Update: This one appears to be free folks. I just listened to the comparisons. They are spot on. Pretty amazing.

JoMoX in Black

XBASE999

More black after the hop.

I was trying to figure out why this shot was titled "god forgive me," then I realized why. I think it actually looks pretty cool.

Custom Korg Polysix

Tektron Logic Lab

Unfortunately this is not an actual synth, but we can pretend. : ) Title link takes you to the post on Space Time Modulator.

Western Brass - Rhodes Chroma Sample by N_PHAY

Title link takes you to N_PHAY's MySpace page. The track Western Brass features the Rhodes Chroma.

Burlap Synth

Yep, burlap. Title link takes you to the post on GetLoFi. Hmm... Kind of like cross-stitching synths.

Update via nsputnik in the comments:
"I saw this in person too. It would just kind of sit there and squeak. I have some more photos of it at [link]"

Yamaha CS70M

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.
