via this auction Note this is the one from this video. "The MS 10 may be smaller brother to the MS 20 but it still has much to offer and still has that MS Korg sound especially if you cant afford the MS 20 ! This legendary sound mainly comes from the filter and its controls frequency cut off (low pass filter) and peak (resonance ,Q ) . Its brings in such a natural warm harmonic distortion that cannot be emulated by software just like the rich harmonic content of a violin cannot be replicated digitally. This is analog , this is what its all about The patch bay and external in add another aspect of experimentation and sound exploration."

The second video shows the Glitch/Distortion button, the Pitch Down button, and the Sound Freeze button(on the backside). This machine is capable of doing some crazy stuff. Thanks for watching!"

"This is the 2nd video. It demonstrates the glitch and distortion capabilities, as well as the pitch down and sound freeze. Insane stuff folks!"

You can patch a similar thing with the sine waves of a quadrature oscillator (offset 90 degrees), and 4 additional oscillators (self-oscillating resonant filters included), but they don't have to be sine waves. The broken lined "flowers" are saws and squares. The audio is filtered through a PlanB Model 12 filter that's being modulated by one of the subo-scillators (the oscillator that's synced to the master oscillator that only modulates the filter and syncs one of the "audio" oscillators). Lots of sync in the patch...
Sorry about the lousy camerawork. I can't find the mount for my camera to connect to the tripod."
"This is another video of a beta test session.
MBSEQ runs in song mode, a lot of arpeggiators are active, some CC lines for trancegate effect, most tracks are configured for 32th note resolution, one track runs with 2/3 speed."
YouTube via ucapps "The making of a new bassline demo with MIDIbox SID V2. This major update can conrol up to 8 SID soundchips with four PIC microcontrollers, connected to a CAN network. There are 4 dedicated sound engines for Leads/Basslines/Drums and polyphonic multi sounds, which can run on any PIC core as desired.
In this demo, four 8580 SIDs are used (...but my own box is fully stuffed, it just wasn't required to use the remaining ones) The first core plays drum sequences, the second core two independent bassline sequences.
The sequences are interactively selected from a MIDI keyboard, and sound parameters like CutOff/EnvMod/Decay are changed with faders/joystick/Control Surface.
The Audio Output of the SID which plays the lower octave bassline is feedbacked to the Audio Input for increased resonance and distortion.
You listen to pure and unique SID sound - and it is sequenced live! Only external EQs, compression and delay effects have been added.

How to sync a Juno 60 arpeggio with stuff you've already got from 6am on Vimeo. "So what you do is feed a short, loud sound into the Arpeggio Clock In of a Juno 60 (or 6, I assume) - and whenever the sound is played it will trigger the next note in the Juno's Arpeggiatorater buffer. Don't think it matters terribly what the sound is - I'm using a rimshot here - the key to the sound is that it's loud and short and bippy.
Course the best thing about this is being able to trigger the arpeggio irregularly, and also if you feed LONG sounds in then you get weird commodore 64 style smearings as the notes trigger too fast - which is quite good too.
All in all I can't believe I didn't try this already. I'm not that clever ysee - real credit goes to em411.com" Elektron Machinedrum. via Alex.
"Created by Bob Kathman and Joe McGinty, The Space Nutz are an outer space rock band from the planet Blorp. Music: "Space Age Road Song", by Joe McGinty"
via Joe: "Just wanted to let you know about some recordings I did in the early 90s, for a cartoon project--Space Nutz! The cartoon series never came to fruition, but the tracks are now available online. The recordings were inspired by Perrey & Kingsley, and other fun "Switched On" records. There are some wacky covers ("Smoke On The Water", "Blitzkrieg Bop", "I Think I Love You") and some originals as well.
On-topic content:
Analog synths used were Minimoog and Oberheim Matrix-12, sequenced with one of those Akai ASQ-10 Sequencers. Recorded into a Tascam Porta One.
Other synths: Roland S-550 sampler, Yamaha TX-802, Alesis HR-16B, Kurzweil K1000. Also, some cheap toys bough on Canal Street.
While you're at the blog, you can check out my combo's cover of Jean-Jacques Perrey's "Moog Indigo", performed at his concert in NYC last October (and JJP's new video!):
that's all for now!"
Disclaimer: I have a hard rule only posting stuff that showcases a specific synth, meaning you have to be able to ID it in the track, video or imagers. I'm making the rare exception on this one so do not flood me with requests unless you can showcase the synth.
"This is a very rare CV to MIDI converter. The Digi-Atom 4800 can operate in 4 modes as explained here" [see first scan image below]
Depending on the operating mode, you can split the polyphony on 3 MIDI channels with or without Velocity control. There are 2 (depending on the mode) CV to Program Change converters, on MIDI ch. 1 & 2. Also you can convert CVs to Pitch Bend, Modulation, Release and Option (control 65) MIDI controls. And more...There's a Sync24 to MIDI clock converter w/ Sync24 Thru ! The Digi-Atom 4800 will send Start, Stop and Clock message from a Sync24 master to any MIDI sequencer or drum machine. As you can guess, you can expect a lot of fun and experiments with this unit. But let's see an example of setting [see second two scans below]
