"1977 hangs well-being and blows the modular system handbuilt of E-mu system still from only one product. In order to generate additional incomes, Dave Rossum works as an advisor for other Synthesizer companies and develops one-off productions for different musicians as for example the volume Grateful DEAD…"

Plan-B Model 25 Demos from REWire

via REwire:
"All the Demos feature one or two Oscs (Sine Wave mostly) into the Waveshaper or Ringmod independently and a set from the Ringmod into the Waveshaper and into the VCA for all sounds. I added a bit of reverb to the whole batch as well to give them space. I used LFO's, ENV's and a Theremin Controller to modulate mostly the Waveshaper's CV input. A few of these have audio going onto the CV of the Waveshaper or no input, creating a noise output that can be modulated by the CV input. The Ringmod has a Feedback switch that dirties it up quite a bit.

Daft Punk's Magical Pyramid/Spaceship: Infiltrated!

"Yep, there it is. The view from within the technicolor dream pyramid inhabited by those rascally robots Daft Punk. The innards of the very vessel Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo use to make tens of thousands of people all jump in unison and gyrate their hips in some grand, cosmic harmony. Pretty sweet, although it doesn't hold a candle to the view from the outside."

They definitely like their MOOG Voyager RMEs. via antonio. Title link takes you to the full article.

Stretta on the Tenori-On

Title link takes you to an interesting perspective by Stretta on the Tenori-On. Of course this is all speculation, but it is interesting nonetheless. BTW, note the red lighted Tenori-On in this shot.

"Most of the unit is dominated by the button grid with a handful of extra buttons around the frame and an LCD. This suggests a limited opportunity to tweak the sounds or process. I suspect the LCD and associated navigation system is best suited to mundane tasks like selecting patches, loading samples from the card slot, and setting preferences - not editing. Perhaps software is included that will allow the user to more extensively edit using a computer."

This is pretty cool, so do check it out the post and the site.
I know this isn't reactable, but I'm labeling as such so it is easier to find in the archives.

Rebel Droid

Title link takes you to a track "rebel_droid_-_a_single_voice" by Rebel Droid. See if you can guess the synth used.

"Last night I was working on my synthesis chops with a particular synth and when I struck upon a fun little idea that is the polar opposite of the way I normally work. I make nu-skool breaks most of the time and tend to make things extremely complex and densely layered but tonight I made a complete little song using just 3 oscillators, a ring mod and a noise source from a single mono patch. It was recorded on the fly in one take with no overdubs and no multitracking and no rehearsing. There are also no effects whatsoever except for a small delay and a convolution reverb. There isn't even any eq.

It's basically me playing an arp pattern mostly with one hand while tweaking knobs with the other but don't let that fool you.. it's kind of surprising how well it turned out. It's a little unpolished of course but it is just about a complete song and, yes, it is a single mono patch! I particularly like when the first bassline comes in and how I only turned the noise source on once near the beginning for percussion and it did the rest on it's own! There's a lot of randomness and little bleeps and squeals in there that I can't fully explain. It's also interesting that if you played the patch normally without the arp and with all the oscillators it doesn't sound anything like this!

It's not an earthshattering concept by any means but it's kind of a testament to what you can do with limited resources, some strict constraints and a little creativity.

Anyway.. I deliberately left out what synth it is to see if anyone can guess or at least guess what they think it sounds like."

noiseprofessor's Xpander Demo

download here
"Moody demosong made with an Oberheim Xpander only. Recorded with multitracker to show off the possibilities for doing percussive sounds, which is often said that the Xpander can`t do this. Sure used some Delay in mixing process. Note: Even the drums & percussions are made with this synth."

Dual x0xb0x Demo

YouTube via october71.
"Here I am demoing the two x0xb0xes I built, #117 (my personal one) and #329 (for a customer). This isn't intended to be a real song, just a demo of the two of them together. Equipment used: 2 x0xb0xes, Korg ER-1 Sequencing my Novation Drumstation, Alesis Ineko, Ibanez SM7 Distortion Pedal, Behringer UB1622FX-PRO Mixer."
