Stereopsis - No Pressure

YouTube via krazydrumr47
"This is the second song I wrote. Using MicroKorg, KP3, and Roland Handsonic 10. I sampled all of my beats onto KP3, and added twists of my own, Enjoy. Let's try the sun, for solar energy. Let's breakdown greenhouse gases, and pollution. There is 'No Pressure; No Fresh Water'."

MOOG MINIMOOG DEMO - classic monophonic synthesizer - played with reverb and delay

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"This video shows the Mini Moog in action. The Minimoog is a monophonic analog synthesizer with an outstanding, excellent sound - the "Moog sound". The modules inside the Minimoog are of the same high quality like those in Moog modulars. I played the Mini with Yamaha ProR3 reverb and Roland DEP-5 for delays."

MeggySeq Loops and Noises

"MeggySeq, Meggy, and the Waveshield with a different set of files. The Waveshield plays files straight off an SD card, so I believe they can be arbitrarily long (up to the size of the SD card the Waveshield supports-- 2GB).

It's monophonic, though, so if something is playing and you start a second file, the first stops playing. This isn't a bad thing, depending on what you're trying to do. It does give you some fun glitchy possibilities. (The loops and samples are from www.rhythm-lab.com.)"

How to make your Microkorg sound REALLY retro!!

"I've been asked by a few people to share the parameters on this Roland vp-330 like strings patch, so here it is. After inputting these settings exactly you'll have this lovely warm vintage string sound as is heard in the little track I made for the video (inspired by Vangelis' Bounty soundtrack).
I have about 6 variations of it, if you use the phaser on mod fx instead of ensemble it gives a really nice Jarre-like sound too....enjoy!"

MIDI LED Lights

"Eight lights upstage with paper surrounds, plus four downstage doing uplighting and strobes, all controlled by MIDI.

Just-in-time delivery, with lights programmed in Live using a MAX/MSP-based simulator to see what it would look like.

YAMAHA TX802

"Despite its name, the TX802 FM Tone Generator is basically a rack-module version of the DX7mkII with full 8-part multi-timbral operation for sequencing and/or key mapping. It has 16-voices of polyphony and six digital FM Operators, the same as in the DX7mkII. There are 128 preset and 64 user patches for your sounds, as well as an external memory cartridge slot."

I love how all the Yamaha rack synths from this time had those pull-out card sheets. They slide inside a compartment slot in the unit itself. They are also attached so they do not fully pull out and get lost.

Roland Juno-6 with MIDI to CV Converter

via this auction

Aynone know who makes the converter?

Update via Doug in the comments: "I'm pretty sure that's the "MIDI arpeggio synchronizer" from www.dinsync.com.

It's not a MIDI to CV converter, it spits out a MIDI synchronized clock for the arpeggiator on the Juno 6."
