"A video illustrating how to control a maxMSP pluggo using a JazzMutant Lemur. The pluggo is loaded inside Ableton Live, and is triggering standard Impulse drum kits. We will upload more videos of the Lemur soon!"

As always, mouse over the thumbnails at the end of videos for more. BTW, YouTube is beginning to get really saturated with synth related vids, so I will do my best to filter in the most interesting stuff. If you see something I have not posted, that you think should be posted, feel free to send it in. You can find my contact info on the right pane of the site. Remember, only synths, and please do search for the title of the vid and the name of the person that put the vid up (in this case machinate), on the top left of the site. If you find it, don't send it in as I do my best to only post things once.

Metasonix TM-1 in MOTM Format

via this auction

via brian comnes.

"This is a Metasonix TM-1 Wavefolder in MOTM format, 2U of tube mangling ready for your modular synth! This is a prototype that works great, but there are some behind-the-scenes... engagements, shall we say, that dissuade me from selling it with the forecoming modules (still a month out) from The Bridechamber. This unit's PCB was not made for conversion, so there are some wires that are spliced, things of that nature that I couldn't rightly let go of. Now, to let you know, some things are sent out into the world in converting a big yellow 3U stompbox into a tidy 2U black MOTM format module WITH A CLEAR WINDOW THROUGH WHICH YOU CAN SEE THE TUBES GLOW -- that is, sweat, many choice words, a bit of blood, and not a small amount of sanity (I won't admit to tears!). The back is covered by a metal bracket which was engineered to protect you, and for you to plug in the included wall-wart power supply. Unlike the stompbox, there are CV attenuators for the VCA and Beam Mod CVs. Do note that the output is at stompbox level, and will need to be amped. Tubes yo."

x0xb0x serial number #496

" The custom finish on this x0xb0x includes extremely limited edition (11 pieces made) custom artwork, with matching matte black knurled knobs, and a red RUN button. The artwork is rear-printed 10mil Lexan with 3M adhesive which is the exact same type of label used on industrial equipment. Have no fear about the artwork being damaged as your fingers bump the panel while turning the pots. The original, clear, harsh looking LEDs have been replaced with diffuse red LEDs to match the artwork. The rear panel of the x0xb0x has been painted matte black to match the front panel and give this x0xb0x a unified look.

(Note that the red RUN button isn't painted; it's a proper molded plastic piece from the same series as the other buttons and should stand up to years of mashing it with your thumb. Please also note that the resistors used with the LEDs have also been properly selected so that the LEDs are not overpowered. Many individuals doing custom LED replacements haven't bothered to select the proper resistors and risk cooking the LEDs.)

Because the original x0xb0x design includes no power switch (it must be plugged and unplugged in order to toggle power), I have fitted a toggle switch on the back of the enclosure. With this x0xb0x there will be no unneeded wear placed on the connectors, nor on you as you crawl behind things to unplug the power.

In order to further enhance the 303-ness of the x0xb0x I took the additional step of selecting only high-beta 2SA733P transistors for the key positions in the x0xb0x. This is noted on the x0xb0x site as one of the best "mods" to be done to the x0xb0x, and the one which will make it as 303-like as possible. (It's already spot-on, I just wanted to take it that extra step and be certain it sounded good.)

So, since people seem to like bullet points, here's a summary of this x0xb0x, #496:

· Roland TB-303 Clone: One of the best available!

· Triggerable via MIDI
· Professionally Hand Assembled
