via Rob Lee on the Waldorf list:

"Here's some drum examples using only Largo that i'll be including in my soundset.

I feel Largo is just as good as/or better than any soft synths around for drum programming.

Examples [via http://www.basslinerecords.com]:

Simple Electronic Drums

Rough Jam Realtime Playing

House Loops

Tech House Loops with Amp Env Release on Kick

All sounds are Largo and nothing else :)"

Alesis Andromeda A6 Parts 1-7

YouTube via gearwire

Alesis Andromeda A6: Sixteen-Voice Analog Synth Overview, Part One
"Like any good amateur astronomy enthusiast preparing to deliver his / her first talk, Bill Holland got all snazzed up to demo the Alesis Andromeda A6
. This massive analog synth has nearly as many controls as the Andromeda galaxy has habitable planets, i.e., it'll be decades or even centuries before we know for sure.

This first video on the Andromeda covers some of the basic controls you'll find on similar high-end, digitally controlled analog synths. You'll have to wait for subsequent videos to check out the sweet ribbon controller in action.

See more on Gearwire.com."

Part Two
"If you're just learning about VCOs, this video on the Alesis Andromeda A6 might not be the best place to start, being that it's got 32 VCOs in total. If you're (wo)man enough though, let the dude in the froofy tie, three-quarter sleeves and dress-vest show you the ropes."

Part Three
"Moving on the Part Three of our Alesis Andromeda A6 Walkthru, Bill goes over the analog synthesizer's ASDR envelopes for pitch, filter, amp and loop, each of which are also, consequently, traditional Alaskan first names."

Part Four
"The sweet, creamy middle of Bill Holland's look at the Alesis Andromeda
A6 is all in the filters. Just because it's the middle of the series doesn't mean these filters won't take you to the ends of the universe!"

Part Five
"This is our second video on the filter and modulation effects on the massive Alesis Andromeda A6, and our fifth video on the Andromeda as a whole, and our umpteenth video in the ever-expanding Synth Lab series -- a series AS INFINITE AS THE COSMOS ITSELF."

Part Six
"Plowing on through the galaxy of features in the Alesis Andromeda A6, Bill Holland checks out the arpeggiator and the step sequencer. They're . . . out of this world!"

Part Seven
"Before we return from galaxies far, far away, Bill Holland finishes up his look at the Alesis Andromeda A6. This one's all about ribbon control, and who doesn't like a good ribbon?"

Moog Music Minimoog Voyager Walkthru, Part Three

YouTube via gearwire. I'm not seeing part one or two and this one is from sept 21.
"Ever onward with our look at the Moog Music Minimoog Voyager. The next stop on this luxury-synth cruise will take us to the banks of assignable control options, including everyone's annular favorite, the mod wheel."
