"The Blacet/ Wiard/ Bananalogue/Oakley modular is now the size of a small fridge, dwarfing the Wiard 300 series beside it."

Beatserv Series Two

via Beatserv where you'll find samples and more info.

"With over 340 loops, more than 180 original samples, plus 4 NI Battery kits, you get an arsenal of beats, and our best value.

Series 2 was built from the ground up, starting with the best drum microphones and Lavry converters. From there, we compressed, recompressed, synthesized, and tricked-out the samples until they became our own. In Series 2, you’ll find everything from solid, fundamental drum hits to the most warped styles."

Coin Sequencer

YouTube via tvst
"Coin Sequencer is a physical interface for sequencing audio samples. It uses four IR transmitter/receiver pairs to detect reflective objects (such as coins) passing under one of four tracks. When such an object is detected, an audio sample is triggered on the computer. Schematics can be found at http://www.varal.org/coinsequencer"

There's Something - Monome Guitar

There's Something from Ben Brown on Vimeo.

"My dad shot this video on our front porch with a P2HD and some good lighting while we had the equipment. Im playing the guitar I made from scratch, with a monome kit embedded in it. It was a long project... but fun.

Some parts are a bit out of tune(need to do some more guitar work) and Im still figuring out the setup(running 7up live on the monome). The audios pretty crappy on this recording unfortunately as my speaker setup was a bit janky... but hey! it was fun. Ran the vid through ScreenFlow for some super quick editing and export.

Im using Ableton Live for my audio bits and a Presonus Firepod to process my voice and guitar signal. We kinda just did this spur of the moment so I didnt get the audio from Ableton.

I wrote this song this last spring.

PetSynth - The first GPL playable synth for the Commodore PET

"Hello and welcome!

This is the official project page for PetSynth - the only program for rocking the Commodore PET that the cool kids use.

I've been sitting on this for a year, and I decided that it was finally time to unleash this puppy upon the world!

It features a two-octave keyboard layout, selectable note length, many selectable octaves, selectable pulse-width, vibrato, distortion, and noise or "drum mode" depending on how you use it." See http://petsynth.org/ for more.

via Chiron:
"I've written software that turns an old Commodore PET into a playable synth. I've created the above website and have released it as open-source software, so anyone can download it, use it, and modify it if they're interested."

Update: "Just an FYI - I updated the site - it now has a FLAC version of the program for audio tapes, so people with a datassette can download and record the program to tape - without having to download the disk version and convert it."

8-bit Synth Custom Modded Commodore 64 - MSSIAH

via this auction
"This is a custom-modded commodore 64. It started out as a very clean (nearly mint) commodore 64c with the revision "E" motherboard (the last model to be produced, also the most reliable)

A SID2SID board has been installed and fitted with two SID 8580r5's for stereo output and up to six mono channels. Two 1/4" audio output jacks have been installed in the back (one for each SID) along with two RCA Jacks for composite Video (for hooking up to a modern television) One RCA provides color video, the other provides ultra-sharp black and white video. There is a 7" LCD monitor attached to this machine (see pictures) for portability and to save space in your studio. This LCD monitor has two inputs, you can hook both rca's to the monitor and switch between color and b/w with the included remote control (not pictured) You can also hook a dvd player or video game system to this monitor when you're relaxing in your studio....

The stock red power LED has been replaced with a super-bright blue LED and it looks really cool.

A stereo potentiometer has been installed on the front panel to control the feedback/ noise reduction circuit. When the knob is turned fully counter-clockwise the audio input is disabled (this eliminates the ground noise that has always been an issue with these machines) When the knob is turned clockwise, the feedback circuit is activated and the SIDs begin to distort (in a good way, think gritty acid basslines) when the knob is turned all the way up the SIDs are capable of reaching self-resonance (which sounds lovely with MSSIAH's bassline application)

Note: this auction does not include the MSSIAH cartridge, you may purchase your own for about $60.00. for more information on MSSIAH, go here"
