"A lot of digital cameras these days have Video Out jacks on them. I've been experimenting, running mine though effects units, filters and so on. It still sounds a little bit too much like when you accidentally plug the audio to the video out on your DVD unit, but, I'm working on that.
A keen Lynch fan reference in that title....."

Apparat Organ Quartet - Konami
YouTube via ProphetV. Anyone know more about these guys? I found it on Wiel's Time Capsule where you'll find another video. Apparat Organ Quartet page
Update via the comments:
"The band doesn't have a webpage but they are on MySpace and there is also stub on wiki about them."
KORG DSS-1 Sample
Title link takes you to a KORG DSS-1 track - "Don't know yet." It was performed by Henry and mixed by daddio of tapewarm. There are some very interesting textures. The DSS-1 always fascinated me. You could draw your own waveforms on in by adjusting a slider over time. I remember playing with one once and was fascinated by the waveforms I could come up with. It's also said to have the best filter.
Sayer's Studio
Title link takes you there. Be sure to check out the history page. It's an interesting read on how he first got into synths and how his skills and studio developed. There are a ton of studio shots on site. via daddio.
Making Beats In The Studio With Charles

Remember Charles and his licking problem? Here he is with drewtoothpaste and the Akai MPC2500.
MusoTalk 60 - Waldorf Microwave
YouTube via musotalk.
Description Babblefished: "The best bass Synthesizer with the fastest envelopes under the sun is for me the whale villages Microwave. These “Studio legend” comes from the Eifel and from there the world conquered. Shortly there is interview as remuneration for the VST table reserved for regulars with the acoustic threatening window blind to the Microwave with tungsten a Franke of Waldord Music.

Analog Notes
Title link takes you to Analog Notes, a great resource site for modular synths. The following is just an excerpt from the site.
"Modular analog synthesizers are musical instruments that are typically made up of discreet analog electrical circuits. These circuits may be mounted on individual panels, or may be grouped together in various chassis configurations.
While some manufacturers produce modules in sizes that no others make, there are three physical and electrical formats that are used by more than one module manufacturer - "Euro-Rack", the format used by Analogue Systems, Analogue Solutions, Doepfer and Plan B (with minor differences), "Frac-Rack", the format pioneered by PAiA and used by Blacet, Wiard and others, and "MOTM", used by Synth Tech and many other makers. Euro-Rack and Frac-Rack formats use 3U (5.25") of vertical space. MOTM uses 5U (8.75") of vertical space. Typically, this means that the Euro- and Frac-Rack modules use smaller knobs and jacks, while the MOTM modules use larger ones.
In general, european modules use 12v power and modules from the United States use 15v. There are exceptions, as well as some newer modules that use 5v power.
* Modular Synthesizer Comparison Chart
* Synthesizers.com form factor list
One of the biggest decisions you can make is whether to purchase full kits, parts, or pre-built modules. The main analog module kit supplier is Blacet, with a couple available from PAiA. Various parts are available from CGS (Ken Stone), Music From Outer Space, Oakley and others. Most other manufacturers sell complete modules. NOTE: Sadly, as of December 2006, Synthesis Technology will no longer provide full kits, although boards and panels should be made available in February 2007."

Yamaha SY-2
via this auction: "This was yamaha's very first entry into the synthesizer world. This keyboard came out before the popular CS series. This monophonic VCO synthesizer has 28 presets all of which can be edited, but not saved. The SY-2 comes with its original stand legs, which are inside the case (see pics). These legs screw onto the bottom of the keyboard."
Interesting coincidence this showed up after this post. Title link takes you to more shots.
