Creepy (e=a) Audio Test

YouTube via nakile
"I have absolutely no musical skills at all, so don't say I didn't warn you...

This is nothing more than me messing around with a software synthesizer. Pretty much all I did was take a few built in metallic sounds and set the ADSR envelopes so that the release was about a minute long. In other words, when I hit a key, the sound would continue play for a whole minute after I took my finger off the key. About two minutes in I started to run out of polyphony, so that's when I decided to end it."

"Hey all

http://www.punkdisco.co.uk/Music/oral_hygiene.mp3

We unashamedly sold out with this one. We have decided to abandon our punk ethics (it worked for The Clash) and go for the big corporate sponsorship deal. Within 6 months, this track will be played to you each time you open your toothpaste, via tiny little space age microchip record players. Colgate, Macleans, etc, email oral at punkdisco dot co.uk with your offers.

Most of the annoying mid-frequencies, discounting Leah, are from the HardSID 4U which we have fallen in love with. There is also some MKS80 and SunSyn love action.

PS: I have also just uploaded a slightly tweaked version of our "At the dISCO" track but unless you are an avid punkdISCO fan (hi Mum), you probably will not notice.

"Sorry for the TERRIBLE video quality first and foremost. (cheap point and click + knowing nothing of video conversion = that crap)

I took the jumpers from the back of the PCB that select the waveforms used in the Max, Min, Sum & Diff outputs on the front of the unit & Attached them to eight 3-way on-on-on switches for real time control of the waveform mixes."

Moog Polymoog

Update via Reed in the comments: "I used to have one like that: a Polymoog Synthesizer that said 'Polymoog Keyboard' on the front panel. What's the story with that?"

Update via unfrostedpoptart in the comments: "As to Reed's question, the first units were called "Polymoog Keyboard". Moog later came out with the preset model and stole the name Keyboard for it and renamed the existing model the Polymoog Synthesizer."

"This was the replacement for the minimoog in 1981 and sounds incredible for bass and leads. Truly a sonically perfect monophonic synthesizer."

ARP 2600

via this auction
"It is a 2601 model and features the Arp 4072 filter. It is a really lovely sounding machine. The modules inside are not encapsulated, making it very easy to service. This is one of the more desirable 2600s in that along with not having encapsulated modules, Arp used better jacks on this model, that were hand-wired to the circuit boards. All slider caps are present, as is the original lid for the 2600 console and the keyboard. The keyboard is a 3604-P version, and works well. All keys trigger just fine. The keys are all a little stiff, but everything seems to work just fine (I mostly use the 2600 with step sequencers)."
