The Definitive Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev1 vs Rev3 Test

"Since the introduction of the Prophet-5 Rev 3 a legend or myth has perpetuated that
the SSM based Prophet-5 Rev 1 and Rev 2 are sonically superior to their CEM based,
and much more prolific successor, the Rev 3. In this experiment I intend to
demonstrate the sonic similarities and subtle differences between the revs using
similar manual mode patches that define the sound of the PROPHET-5."

Syntrax - Free Mobile Music Studio

"Meet Syntrax, the long awaited sequel to Jaytrax, the first software synthesizer and sequencer on the PocketPC. It has all the modern musician wants when away from the studio! A sequencer, sound synthesis and sample editor all wrapped up in a nice little package! Syntrax runs on Symbian devices as well as the PocketPC. Syntrax is the first and only professional music package for the mobile phone. Syntrax is packed with all the professional features you might expect from a mobile music studio. This includes MIDI support, a sequencer, sample editing, software synthesizer, realtime echoes, morphing etc."

This was sent in by Stefan who had the following to say about it: "It's a free tracker with (unique) softsynth for running on a PDA or Smartphone. i did some demos for it in 2001 already. It's mega cool fun playing around with. (great for killing time in public transport)" Syntrax website. Samples.

Details:
"SUIKO-100 is extremely rare and most strange japanese electronic musical instruments it was originally made for japanese traditinal music circa. 1980. SUIKO-100 was a most expensive and top of the line product of SUIKO series it's built in cool brown custom suitcase like EMS synth, one side of the suitcase is a speaker so you can play without external amp or mixer but don't worry it has audio output too. keyboard itself is built in beautiful plastic case and design look lil bit like Roland TB-303 BASSLINE keyboard is separatable from it's case

these keyboards were very expensive and made very limited quantities those days so i'ts very hard to find even in Japan nowadays... this is your first and last chance to get this vintage gem! it has 2 rows of button keyboard this keyboard specially designed for playing glissando easily instruments like koto(japanese harp) front row of the keyboard is japanese scale,so just playing randomly you can easily get exotic japanese melody!

there are various switchs and dial for special japanese tuning, sustain, octave, vibrate, bend, mono/poly switchs are avaliable and it also has auto play/rec function with IC card but unfotunately this one has no cards

many sounds are selectable,mainly japanese traditional instruments like shyakuhachi(japanese bamboo flute), koto(japanese harp) and to oboe, strings, chorus etc..

in drums mode it become exotic rhythm section full of japanese traditional drums and percussion and you can play all these percussion by keyboard sounds are very real and warm and strange!,very unique original sounds even chorus or strings sound has dark vintage sound color like mellotron"

The Mighty Serge Modular

Title link takes you to the post by Carbon111 on Synthwire.

"The Serge is kind of hard to nail-down and quantify because, depending on how they're patched, some modules can be many different things - this is called "patch programmable" in serge-speak.


Most notable in this regard is the Dual Universal Slope Generator, it can be any of the following things:

-Non-linear lowpass filter
-Envelope follower
-Sub-harmonic generator
-Linear portamento
etc..."

Fascinating when you think about it. What other modulars can do this?
