"In general, had a rough time getting this recording to make it to YouTube...all kinds - capturing, editing, recording, corrupt files, etc etc. Guess I need to bring my software up-to-date. :/ I also had no idea the earlier version of this video made it online -- YouTube had reported that the upload failed with an unknown error, so I thought that was the end of the story. Eventually came across it on Matrixsynth blog, and I was totally surprised. :o

Forgot to hit record on the wav editor, too, so once again I ended up with camera audio. I tried to remove some of the camera whine and eq the audio a bit to make it sound as accurate as possible. Somewhere along the way, through all the formats and stuff that I put this footage through, it picked up crackles and pops. At this point I am throwing my hands up and uploading and moving on with my life!

Vermona Perfourmer, Vermona DRM1mkii. Sequenced in FL Studio, but really there's not much a of sequence - was focused on having fun tweaking. Sooner or later I will get a good track-length arrangement down, *and* manage to tweak on the fly... or I hope so anyway."

JEN SX1000 SYNTHETONE

via this auction

"The Synthetone SX-1000 is an old Italian basic mono-synth. It has a single analog DCO with three waveforms: sawtooth, square, and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). There is an analog filter (12dB/octave) with cutoff, resonance, and LFO modulation. There is also a simple ADSR envelope for shaping your sounds. In addition there are also white/pink noise generators a glide effect and a vibrato effect. It's known for fairly stable tuning too.

The Jen SX1000 has got to be the most under-appreciated monosynth of the lot! Although it's very simple, it's capable of some really screaming lead sounds and some trully insane bass tones (particularly when PWM is used carefully). It's as solid as a rock and always works a charm, it also never goes out of tune (unlike a lot of it's bargain bin VCO-equipped rivals). And trust me, it sounds about as undigital as you could ever imagine!

The SX-1000 is a monophonic synthesizer with a 3-octave, 37-note, (C-C) keyboard and a black or white front panel (they came in two colors). Also called the "Synthetone", the SX-1000 features a single DCO (digitally controlled oscillator), with a four octave range (32', 16', 8', 4') and three available waveforms, sawtooth, square, and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). White and pink noise are also available, as well as portamento/glide. The filter is 12dB/octave. There are two ADSR envelope generators and one LFO."
