Braska the Frog Would Like to Visit You - Literally

via Aris

"Braska the frog from http://synth-diy.blogspot.com wanted me to send him on a trip to visit the labs of DIYers around the world and get photos and videos with their hand made synths. The project has already been started. Braska is on his way to Hungary and Tuesday probably will be the first photo shoot."

Some audio 'made with doepfer'

via ISM who brought us the Big Doepfer Filter Shootout:

"All tracks were made with a Doepfer A100 system plus some drumsamples, a Roland RE-201 and a Korg SE500. Polyphonic stuff was done with a detuned DX7 pure sine oscillator patch processed with Doepfer modules. Mixing done in Cubase.

The Doepfer modules that you can easily recognize are the filters and BBD modules. The bass sounds are derived from pure bass sine waves with A-136 distortion and A-137 wave multiplier. Phasing is done with the 12 stage vactrol phaser and a bit of thru zero flanging with the A-188-1 and A-118-2 BBD modules. But basically all sounds are processed with Doepfer modules.

Early 2010 there will be a limited edition cd with about 15 dubs in this kind of style."

Oxygene 13 played by GroovBird

YouTube via GroovBird. via fischek
"Many thanks to Jean Michel Jarre, for producing this song, and for allowing us fans to share our interpretations.

I play this live, using the following instruments:
- Roland XP-30 with Vintage expansion board, using the Solina patch with heavy modification and some layering.
- Korg ES-1 sampler with drum samples from Boss DR-880 used by Jarre in the album version.
- Korg RADIAS for the FX in the latter part.

Filmed on Canon EOS 5DMkII, I have some sync issues in the end, I hope you don't mind."

Yamaha CS70M, SK30 and Maxi-Korg

via Adrien

Click here for a super size shot. I was trying to figure out what looked different about the Maxi-Korg. I then realized it's simply missing the label like this one.

Update via Adrien in the comments: "this one should be called 800DV (same instrument)
i believe there was also a model called K3?"

Anyone know the history on these - why the different names and any technical differences?

Rare MTI Auto Orchestra. Vintage drum machine synth

via this auction

"Here is a very strange rare drum machine/synth/strings/one man band thing. I believe it is from the 70's. These are pretty hard to find and this one is in great condition. Works great. The bass foot pedals control the notes/key of the song. You can play manual bass melodys or just hit the note so that the whole song changes keys. The other pedal contols the volume, start and stop, and minor, 7th and dimished."
