Robot Makers Zeroscillator Track

via Roger on the Cyndustries list:

"I hope this tune might be of some interest as it features Cyndustries Zeroscillators used in some ways that might not have been discussed before. Check out "Modern Android Cybernaut"

An ostinato appearing from 0:33 - 0:46 is a Zeroscillator with electric guitar used as the modulator signal. The ZO is also set to sync to the modulator signal, in a setup that is meant to be similar to Moogmusic's Freqbox. The ZO set up this way works quite well and allows the generation of a great variety of unusual sounds.

From 2:45 to 3:15 there's a brass melody which is mostly a pair of ZO's in a classic FM patch. The result is mixed with sawtooths from some Moog 921 VCO's and very heavily EQ'd to mimic the spectral content of actual brass instruments.

I hope you enjoy it.

Best regards,
Roger"

"Short vid demonstrating my Roland D50 and some custom sounds made by me. Jean Michel Jarre used Roland D50 on Revolutions album. You can hear it everywhere - just like Elka Synthex on Rendez Vous. What can I say more... ? Wasn't practicing playing titles so be prepared for some mistakes :D"

Jen SX1000 "Mk2" Restoration Project

Three shots via Alphacode on this VSE thread.

"Just finished after almost 3 weeks my Jen Sx 1000 restoration project .Took me some time but i'm not expert in this kind of jobs so ... Some modyfications were done (hence the Mk2)

Quick rewiew:
The Lfo is now Sin, Saw UP, Saw Down and heve a flashing red Led fro the speed knob. The Filter Enveloppe can control the Pw of the Pulse ,and there is a Sub osc with -1,-2, and -3 octaves settings.

I totally repainted the metal chassis and made a new grey (kinda roland Sh ) layout . i Also made new wooden panels ''ala'' korg Monopoly."
