Musicmesse Via Progsounds

Arturia Origin. This is the best demo I've seen of the interface. It's actually pretty slick. One thing I hate working with PC modulars is the clicking and dragging to edit. A giant analog push button knob just seems way more efficient. I also like how the focus goes to the module you are editing. The one thing I hope it comes with are the complete versions of the Arturia range of softsynths preconfigured and ready to go. I'd hate to have to recreate them on my own.

Emotion of Metropolis

Add to My Profile | More Videos

Via Prototek of Hong Kong Counterfeit:
"I just found a song from my band on YouTube. A fan took the liberty of merging our song "Emotion" with the classic silent film "Metropolis". I think he did a pretty good job!

For the song I used an 808 for the BD. The snare zap sound is actually an Odyssey. The Odyssey also handles the harmonized lead lines in the beginning. For the chords I believe I used a Sequential Six Track through an old MXR 100. The bass line was done with a MonoPoly. I think I used one of the FX modes to get the grinding sync sound."

Simmons Digital Clap Trap

via this auction.

"The designers of the Clap Trap analyzed rhythmical clapping, separated it into its sonic components in electronic terns and introduced variable pitch, spread and balance controls to make the effects adjustable within comparatively broad parameters. Subsequently they added a feature in which ‘humanizes’ the effect by introducing a random element.
