Oakley and MacBeth Duet

Youtube via modularland. via Steve. http://www.modularland.com/
"Inspired by the recent USA election Modularland presents a performance of Oakley Modular and the MacBeth M5N. Modularland is a democracy- we do not care if you are Synthesizers.com black, Future Retro white, Oakley blue, Scottish Macbeth, American Blacet, Canadian Modcan, Japanese Roland, digital and sampled like the Miniwave, or thermionic and Chino like the Manley. We wouldn't even have hard feelings if Manley moved to Pomona. Everyone has an equal vote in the final sound.

This track is aleatoric, features no MIDI, and is driven by noise quantized and gated by the Modcan Dual Quantizer 55B synched by Modcan clock 55B driving the Blacet Hex Zone which sequences the MacBeth M5N.

The Oakley VCO is filtered by a Cynthia Synthacon filter to give that nice smooth percussive hit. All audio is run through the Manley Dual Mono Tube Direct Interface into an Alesis IO|26 A/D with some light EQ and reverb added in Cubase. No audio edits of any kind."

"VanEck of Prometheus Burning giving a quick and dirty glimpse of the rare AudioWeevil08 by BugBrand.

The AudioWeevil is an analog synth-sound generator and an audio processor full of chaotic potential.

We will try to post a few more in depth videos, as well as some MP3's on our site to better show off the Weevils capabilities in the near future.

NOooooooo!!!!

via Tolaemon:
"I saw this beautiful vintage analog synthesizer in the van of a scrap merchant. I don't know which model it was... I tried to negotiate a price with him but I had no cash on my pocket. He offered it to me for 75Euros and I would have bought If I had the money! A lost oprotunity! Hope this synthesizer does not finish it's life in a garbage dump!"

Looks like an organ. Anyone know what it is?
