KORG Prophecy and Lederhosen

Title link takes you to the story behind this one. Man, I'd pay good money to see that.

Note this beauty is up for auction. Shots saved here.

"A little demo showing some bass capabilities of the Andromeda... Just one mono voice (no unison) playing its internal arpeggiator. At around 00:50 resonance is increased and consequentially the volume drops. At 01:25 resonance goes back to 0. No EQ or FXs."

A6 vs System 100M | System 100M vs A6

Via Javier:

"Hi Matrix,
I did a comparison between the A6 and Roland System 100M after reading some people´s comments about the A6 not sounding "vintage". I posted it here [electro-music.com]. and the link is this [Twango embedded above]. To make it more fun, I´m not going to tell which is which, and I´ll let people decide. If you want you can post it in your site, with a poll or something. One synth´s on the left, the other on the right. One of the sides has a little beep at the beginning for avoid confusion between left and right channel. So, which synth´s on the click side??? (there´re some cues that may help, because I did it very fast and left some details unpolished)"

Vote for which yuo think sounds more vintage, aka the Roland.

Time Lapse Caterpillar Fiesta

"Vanguard, MachFive, Model 12, kazoo (recorded with a U87 (handheld,'cause I was too lazy to go downstairs and get a mic stand)) and some sample loops. 15 minutes of effort, tops. I made it for my 4-year old son, who watched it, like, 50 times. I hope you're a connoisseur of the absurd." Yep... : )
