Vanya's sound setup
YouTube via Matchugovsky
"4 years old Vanya plugging cords, setting up the synth and effects (flanger, overdrive, wah-wah, delay). A melodic improvisation by Vanya also recorded in the second part of this video."
Darkness (Gregsynth Song)
YouTube via Gregsynth
"Another one of my personal favorite songs.
I decided to use the famous Prophet 5 synthesizer (as well as the typical Roland, Moog, and Oberheim team) and create a dark haunting 6:10 song in D minor.
I snuck some "Under Pressure" riffs starting at 2:43. Sorry Freddie, Brian, Roger, John, and David!
(At least I'm admitting that I'm using the riff--unlike a certain white rapper)...

Euro Miniwave

"This is literally the 2nd time using the monome with the modular, first being right before the video and figuring out how to use some of Stretta's Max patches. I have to figure out some sync issues I'm having, the monome is offset a tad from the beat. The Monome is cool, a lot smaller than I thought it would be, which is cool.
Someone asked about miniwave samples, so I set up a patch that uses the Heisenberg to randomly go through the Miniwave's waveforms. The smooth output is also put through the ASR to make it a stepped output too which also randomly goes through the banks. The miniwave is driven by a saw wave, and is being used as an audio wave shaper here, you can also quantize with it, it's a very cool module, and thanks to Peter Grenader of PlanB, it works in a euro case.
I'm still getting used to the monome, so this video is not a monome video, except it's controlling a modular synth. Musically, this video is pure solid gold poo."
Welcome To Electronica Underworld (Gregsynth Song)
YouTube via Gregsynth
"A dark arpeggiating song written in the wonderful key of Eb minor by yours truly.
The song starts off with a classic Oberheim swell and is driven by my brand new ARP Oddity virtual synthesizer (Though the photos show the ARP Odyssey) in "sample and hold" mode.
The song also features the occasional PPG Wave and Prophet 5 synthesizer."

"I'm playing one for the first time at the PNW synth meet. R2D2 in a box and then some. I'm filming with one hand and playing with the other and your not getting (from the camera) the full two channel nature of the flame. Got me grinning, quite a mad bit of gear."

PolyDaWG/8 for Low Cost Avnet FPGA Development Board
"PolyDaWG/8 is an 8 voice polyphonic physical model synthesizer. It implements 8 Karplus-Strong string models in a harp that supports variable string length. String vibrational behavior is one dimensional due to RAM size limitations.
The source code provided here implements the PolyDaWG/8 synth on an inexpensive FPGA development board marketed by Avnet. This synth is functionally identical to the original version written for the Spartan-3E Starter Kit. The sound samples are from a Spartan-3E Starter Kit which has a 12 bit DAC. "
