Radiohead Pyramid Song Live (perfect audio)


YouTube via fabiocchi. Another great find by AudioLemon.
The track features the Ondes Martenot. Before seeing this I always though Radiohead only used the Analog Systems French Connection (previous posts including video).

Kermit The Frog SK-1

Well, actually it's the EP-30, but... if you have to have Kermit on your synth...

"We've talked about the SK-1 -- Casio's highly successful sampling keyboard -- before. The SK-1 was a bit toylike thanks to its size, but it offered a lot of surprisingly professional features. Those more advanced facilities are stripped away in the EP-30, a more clearly toylike keyboard - but it's the only keyboard I know of that features Kermit the frog in top hat and tails."

My Synthesis Technology - MOTM User Blog

K2K Koos wrote in letting me know about his blog, My Synthesis Technology MOTM Analog Modular Synth. As the name implies, K2K Koos writes, "it is mainly dedicated to MOTM synths, and specifically my own experiences in building one, as well as MOTM news, and related items." I'm subbed.
