PTheremin demo

YouTube via obeythehypnotoad
"This is a software audio synthesizer that mimics a Theremin that I wrote. It also let's you lock the output to particular notes in a scale so that you can play it as if it has "frets". You can't make it out in the video but first it is played "fretless", then the chromatic (equal tempered) scale, then diatonic, and finally a "blues" pentatonic scale.

The setup is a Linux PC with a normal sound card run into a digital reverb pedal and then into a guitar amplifier. The reverb really helps get that 50's sci-fi sound.

The program was written in Python and will be released as open source as soon as SourceForge approves my application."

The Commodore 64 DAW

"The Commodore 64, to my mind, truly introduced ‘real’ music to the world of home computing. Its impressive inbuilt SID synthesizer was capable of much more than the bleeps and pops common to other machines. As a musical tool, the Commodore 64 could boast an impressive array of add-ons, which included Commodore’s SFX Sound Expander synth’ cartridge and keyboard, MIDI interfaces and sound sampling devices. Even today, new products are available, such as the Cynthcart and the Prophet 64. But despite the generous selection of hard-and software, it has only been during the past few years that the unique sound of the Commodore has been utilized professionally."
