Roland JUNO-106S

YouTube via KM65536. "my favorite synth." That's saying something considering his others.

Update via Dave Cornutt in the comments: "I've never figured out why Roland made not one but two versions of the 106 with built-in speakers, the 106S and the HS-60."

"Great strings sound!
これは私の所有物ではありません。
YMOのコピーバンドで有名なあの方のお宅へ遊びに行った時のものです。
このストリングスサウンドは素晴らしすぎます。
ほ、欲しい。。"

"Our recent order of CGS synth pcbs - master dividers, vcos, lfos, filters, vcas - in fact, pcbs for two complete synths!

Shown on a gutted and still gorgeous black and blue "KUDOS" brand mixer. She will serve as the housing for an insane controller one day, and her parts (oo-er) will grace the innards of the CGS build as well."

Hatsune Miku - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) [初音 ミク] [CG Voice]

YouTube via SomethingUnreal

"Please read this before commenting! --
The Japanese computer-generated voice Hatsune Miku (初音 ミク) from Vocaloid2 singing "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", originally by 'The Proclaimers'. Hatsune Miku is the first voice in a series of 'character voices' produced for Vocaloid2.

The video was not originally intended to be the main point.
I just synchronized some animations with the song because I wanted to put it up here.
EDIT: And damn, it really suffered from the YouTube compression. For the first time, it also seems to have de-sync'ed the video and audio too. Anyway...

Because the voice is intended for Japanese lyrics, the voice doesn't sound 'fluent' in English, but that doesn't stop the cuteness. :P
(In fact, it kind of adds to it...)

There is a lesser-known CG voice doing the backing singing (on the right speaker - there's a stereo version available, check the bottom of this description). It's a voice I made using Virtual Singer on Melody Assistant. If the second Vocaloid2 voice in the character series had been released yet, I would have used it, but unfortunately that will not be released until the end of December 2007.

I know I got lazy with the video editing near the end, that's what happens when you've spent 11 days working on it. <_<

I did not make any of the illustrations used in this video! I just synchronised them to the lyrics or beat.
If you want to know anything about what's in the video, please CHECK THE CREDITS at the end! ^^

ENJOY~! =D"

Mr clacks Synthesizer extravaganza

via Mr Clack on this electro-music.com thread where you'll find pdfs of the screen prints for the panels and cases as well as some follow-up comments.

"Baby baby ive been busy,

Here is 3 synthesizers I Finally got round to putting together in the last 3 months. I put them in my fine art degree show so I got to get some good snaps of them.

left to right [top down]

Dual MFOS Soundlab and Keyboard
with S+H and Drum trigger
the mixers can take all 4 of the available oscillators



ASM-2 semi-modular
without patching the left side is 2 saws to state variable then vca
right 2 squares to LP moog then VCA

CLONE MODULAR
Built to act like a traditional subtractive modular. stupidly dense ( it needs to be due to lack of bedroom space ) trying to fit a sort of bank of well know filters thats , polivoks, steiner, arp, moog, korg ms20, korg resonator, ems, wasp etc - 6 YU vco's and some unusual modules like fritz chaos , tube vca, S+H/T+H, attenuverter, Noise cornicopia . with a little vca bank, it should be possible to get about 5 voices going at once. the mixers are not yet on it ( they go in the 1 u strips ) . 2xfritz AR 2xMFOS AR 1xYUADSR 1xMFOS ADSR - the mfos AR has repeat so it should double up as a sort of trapezoid LFO. It should be possible when its complete to do some FM experiments too"
