"I've finally got videos of all the lectures from the Spring 2008 version of my class on "Electronics for Music Synthesis" posted to blip.tv. Previous versions of the class were called "Theory and Design of Music Synthesizers" - I retitled the class to more clearly indicated the increased analog focus and decreased digital focus of this version of the class (but there's some random bits of DSP-ish stuff in there, like discussions of aliasing).
There were 22 lectures this semester. Alas only 21 are posted, since I had technical issues with the camera one day."

Sorry about the crappy sound quality in the video! It's due to the camera I used, not the software :)"
maison vague - change
YouTube via maisonvague. via celiar structures
"This music video documents the production of the song "change" by maison vague. The footage is drawn entirely from the actual sessions, along with images of some of the equipment used in the production. The song is built on a relentless Jupiter-4 arpeggiated bass line, triggered by a CR-8000 drum machine, modified with individual mono outputs, synced to Pro Tools via an MSQ-100 MIDI sequencer. As the Jupiter-4 has no MIDI, this was the only way to keep things *somewhat* in sync during overdubs. Although the OB-Xa features prominently in the video, the majority of the synth sounds in this song come from the Jupiter-4." Lyrics here - check out the video description.
MS-20 + MS-20 = MS-40?
YouTube via Newueel
"Triple fun with two Korg MS-20 analog synthesizers and a Korg SQ-10 analog sequencer! The SQ-10 is basically used for controlling the filters for both MS-20s.
The first MS-20 (middle) is triggered by the SQ-10 and plays some rythm and bass. Both filters are controlled by different SQ-10 patterns (Channel A+C), the bass (pitch) is controlled by the keyboard. Both VCO's are used for bass sound colour, VCO-2 is a little detuned.
The other MS-20 (below) is triggered by its own keyboard and is used for melodic adds. The highpass filter is controlled by the modulation generator and the SQ-10 pattern (Channel B). Also some portamento is added to this pattern. The control wheel controls the clock speed of the SQ-10 and doubles it up a couple of times (used at end).
