Vocoder What Is It? EMS 2000 Demo w/ Oberheim OB-8

YouTube via intromix. via Nusonica.
"Here is how an analog vocoder works. I am not going to use technical "jibberish" so I will speak normal vocabulary. This is the legendary EMS Vocoder 2000 (from 1977) which soundwise compares against Sennheiser, Moog(Bode), Synton, Roland, Korg. I will give a basic demonstration on how to use a vocoder and how a vocoder functions to give it that "robotic" sound. I used an Oberheim OB-8 Keyboard to trigger the pitch on the vocoder"

"Here are some audio samples dedicated to the usage of the legendary Sennheiser VSM-201 Vocoder. Being that there is hardly any info on the web in reference to this unit, I took the initiative to be probably the first person to post audio samples of this vintage dinosaur....ENJOY!!!"

Smooth Electech - MC-909 LIVE (Part 6)

YouTube via siedgey.
"Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for continuing to watch and enjoy my videos on Youtube, brings a tear to my (incredibly manly) eye.

I don't really know what genre this track is - if anyone has any ideas then comment! It was made in 1 night, recorded the next night. Smooth, rolling, melodic, highly compressed, slightly French...I could go on...

For some reason, the sound quality is far worse on the upload than the recorded video - apologies for that. Kinda makes it sound quite bass-heavy...ach well!

If you have any comments or questions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks again for watching...enjoy." Access Virus Classic.

minimoog bassline demo of Madonna - Get into the groove

YouTube via lewisjp8young.
"here's a demo clip of the bassline for the song (into the groove)it needs cleaning up with the correct notes etc. the sound is created by using very short decay times. the minimoog's 2 oscillator were very finely tuned by myself to get that grit sound that the minimoog growls out. if you know what i mean. these synths sound much better in real life."

Sorry about the very crap sound. I am accepting donations for a better camera. There was a lot of pro cameras and mics around the stage, so there will be other hifi sources available, don't worry...

bent not broken-a circuit bending doc

YouTube via caseyjclark. via GetLoFi.
"a short documentary about a group of circuit benders. recorded in chicago, usa. produced by Casey Clark."

After watching this I came to the epiphany that Circuit Bending is like the anti-christ of DIY. "Not that there's anything wrong with that..." A Seinfeld reference for any fans.
