"Do you remember this certain song with a similar name? Did you ever wonder which instrument Pink Floyd used in it? Did you wait for a plugin simulation? For the time being this is the closest you will get with a VST plugin. Shine on!"
This one comes in recommended from the AH list. Title link takes you to the download along with a number of other VSTis.
In case you missed the update to the ARP Avatar post I previously put up, title link takes you to page on Audio Playground where you can listen to this flexi-disk of the ARP Avatar. BTW, do check out the museum for more. Scroll down when you get there to get to the links. There's a collection of flash based vintage drum machines, tons of images and more flexi-disks.
Details:
"It is an old analog synthesizer designed to take a percussive sound from either a microphone or a trigger and turn the sound into a synth sound. The unit has one input for mic/trigger, one input for a footswitch to turn it on and off, and an output. The parameter controls are rate, mode, sweep, volume, decay, v.c.o. and intensity. The unit was made in the 1970s by a small manufacturer and uses all analog circuitry. There are minor paint scratches on the surface of the unit, but other than that it is in perfect working condition and has a new battery inside of it."
"The following was written by Morton Subotnick in 1972 for the long- defunct Synthesis Magazine in which he talks about his use of control tracks in Sidewinder. This piece was actually published before that album was released."
Title link takes you there. It's at the top of the page that reads "Click here for an article written by Morton Sobotnick on his use of control tracks on Sidewinder."
