Kaossilator vs. mini-keyboard

YouTube via Denkitribe.
"KORG Kaossilator vs. Evolution eKeys (USB mini-keyboard). I used Tweakbench Tapeworm VSTi for Mellotron-like strings."

Remember Gonzo? It looks like he's up on I Can Has Cheeseburger?, I beleive the official lolcat site. What's a lolcat? Some bizarre craze going on where people put silly words, usually in the font you see, on images of cats and sometimes other animals. Some are actually pretty funny. You can create your own at the I Can Has Cheeseburger? site. Nice name for a site, btw. As for synths... Sherman Filterbank, MOOG The Rogue, and KORG MS20. via Michael.

ZO1U - Zeroscillator

via Cynthia

"A single height 19" rack mount Zeroscillator called the ZO1U, (who woulda' ever thunk it?) Pronounced "Zee-Oh, One You".

(BTW, this is now the ~sixth~ format of Zeroscillator, with a seventh Buchla flavored version on the way too!)"

JH. String Filter

"A string filter has been on my personal wish list for a long time. The above mentioned Electronotes articles give a good description what is possible with multiple resonances, and also describe a feedback method to control depth of the peaks and notches, starting with filters of fixed Q. And there is the legendary (and rare) Moog CE String Filter that is based on a similar principle."

technoloop - Elektron Machinedrum Demo by Rebel Droid

"30 seconds from Elektron MachineDrum.

- single 16 step repeating pattern
- all parts are from "trx" tr-808/909 style synth engine
- nasty bass part is two trx-bd (909 type) kick drums on two tracks with the most of the knobs cranked to max.
- any variations in the pattern are from square wave lfos changing knob values.
- recorded straight out of the machinedrum with no post-processing."
