The Pulsar (Mini chip synth)
YouTube via StarfireMX
"So I've been busy working on this little home made synth, it's gotten to a point where it's doing enough to show you all. Here is the low down.
1. 16 step sequencer
3. LCD info screen
2. Saw and Square wave
3. Adjustable gate
4. Adjustable Tempo
5. Adjustable Tone
6. Switchable high pass and low pass filter.
Best part is I have a circuit board on it's way and it all fits on a board about 1.5 inch by 3.5 inch so very small!
Plan on adding a few more things.
1. Line out (Pretty much just a headphone out right now)
2. Saw works but a bit funky gotta fix the code.
3. Presets (I hope)
4. Indicator for what step you are on.
5. Adjustable filter
6. I have a version where you can set the gate individually for each note, but I just prefer the over all gate, might try to make it switchable but the code at the moment is glitchy.
Let me know your thoughts!!
Thanks!!!"

Ensoniq ASR-X PRO
via this auction"ENSONIQ ASR-X PRO, Pro Re-sampling Production Studio, with fully expanded memory to 66MB
In use the ASX-X is very good and intuitive, the sampling section is straight forward, the FX are based on the Ensoniq DP02 FX box and they sound fantastic. The resampling function are the main highlight of this sampler, since you can resample over and over adding FX enabling unlimited sound creation abilities. The trigger pads are touch sensitive and they all work very responsively, making pattern and drum loop entry a breeze. The sequence has 16 tracks, and there are 100s of internal ROM sounds to get you going. The ASR-X PRO is equipped with a SCSI interface which can be used to add samples from a PC/MAC or from external SCSI devices (ZIP, CDROM etc.)

MC-202 Hack v 2.0
via Defective Records"a software application that works with your Roland mc-202 synthesizer
what are its features:
• complete application overhaul from v1.0
• go from mc-202 sequence on your synth to a MIDI file
• go from a MIDI file to an mc-202 sequence
• edit mc-202 sequences in the software, not on your mc-202's little screen
• easily copy patterns between internal and external mc-202 sequences
• preview sequences with built in mc-202-like softsynth, GM synth, or MIDI device
• save visual mc-202 "snapshots" of front panel synth settings
• exchange mc-202 patch "snapshots" using easily shareable text files
• calibrate the program to your specific MC-202 (old analog synths can be finicky!) "

Tribute to synthesizers.com modular systems
Reaktor ensemble by Chet Singer"I’ve always admired classically-styled modular instruments, particularly the ones sold by synthesizers.com. But my aversion to having to tear apart a cool-sounding patch to create the next one ensures that I’m unlikely to ever buy a true patchable analog modular.
So, here’s a modular synthesizer for Reaktor, based on modules available from synthesizer.com. It’s designed to fit in a 44-module walnut cabinet. A few of the modules are modified or enhanced to suit my whims. The modules included are:
1 MIDI Interface
1 Slew Limiter
1 Noise Source
6 Voltage-Controlled Oscillators
3 Voltage-Controlled Filters
2 8-Input Mixers
1 Sample/Hold
2 Control Voltage Processors
3 Voltage-Controlled Amplifiers
3 ADSR Envelope Generators
1 Fixed Filter Bank
1 Voltage-Controlled Pan/Xfade
1 Ring Modulator
1 Shaper
1 Voltage-Controlled Delay
1 Oscilloscope/Voltmeter
1 Stereo Output Mixer
1 Stereo Output Chorus
Module inputs are visualized as drop-down menus which display the available module outputs. Modules don’t consume CPU cycles unless actually used.
The operating voltages mimic synthesizers.com modules. For example, oscillator outputs swing between +5 and -5 volts, and envelope generator peak voltages are +5 volts.
There are no LFOs. In the style of synthesizers.com instruments, oscillators double as LFOs.
Playing modes include polyphonic, monophonic legato, and monophonic retrigger. Monophonic and polyphonic portamento are built into the pitch controller.
Four assignable MIDI busses are included.
Two extra mod matrix outputs are available (labeled Extra1 and Extra2) so that two additional modules can be added to the system without having to modify the mod matrix."

Lost Terrain - Carbon111
"Lost Terrain contains three aural journeys powered by the mighty Serge Modular Synthesizer. These pieces are composed from self-generating modular synthesizer patches with a little manually-played synth added for good measure. These are organic, synthesized soundscapes designed to evoke lost landscapes, either "passing or past", nevermore to be seen again by the human eye."You can download the tracks on Carbon111.
Also see Shadow
Update: note on Lost Terrain: "One interesting thing to note for people curious about the Creature/Gator M-odule pairing, the song Artic-11/25 was made entirely with only these two M-odules."
