KORG POLY-800 HQ DEMO - Vintage Synthesizer 1984

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"The Korg Poly-800 came out 1984 and is a interesting analog synthesizer with good, interesting sounds. It has MIDI, runs even with batteries, and can be used as a remote keyboard. It was cheap, almost every musician could afford one.

It has DCO's and a VCF - a real analog filter. It also has 3 envelopes and a noise generator. A shame that it doesn't have something like RING MOD. or OSC SYNC. But okay, it was small and cheap.

In this movie I show you some of my own sounds - without any added effects or equalizing. Really, it CAN sound excellent, if you program your own sounds. Some of the factory presets are ok, but not always that great...

The Poly-800 is great for analog pads, sequencer sounds and leads."

Holistic Additives - Modular synth + Monopoly + Volta

"Volta, 4 trigger streams to a switcher to a Moon Modular trigger sequencer and on out to a Monopoly arpeggiator etc. It's as fun as it looks. I jammed to a different loop than you're hearing"

Wiard / Malekko NoiseRing Anti-Oscillator Random FM Sequences

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Awesomeness! The NoiseRing is controlling the pitch of the Anti Osc which is being modulated by a Cwejman D-LFO. It seems random at first then you can start to hear a structure in the chaos. The NoiseRing will repeat a sequence for a while and then change to another random sequence. The sequences vary depending on the "Chance" and "Change" variables which can also be modulated externally with CV's. The NoiseRing is also clocking an Analogue Systems rs200 sequencer, pitch A going to the linear fm input of the AO. The rs200 is also triggering an A.S. rs60 EG which is opening the Borg filter module, doubling as a filter and VCA. FM randomadness!"

i9 07.15.2009 (Arturia Moog Modular V)

YouTube via infinite9ths. sent my way via UniQue Werkx
"The Arturia Moog Modular V is an extremely versatile virtual synthesizer. In addition to a whole range of enhanced patching abilities and MIDI controller integration on the modular level, the polyphonic aspect is really nice. How about 4, 8 or 16 (however much cpu is available) modular or sequenced voices at once! I love it.

Feel free to listen to some more pieces at http://infinite9ths.com and visit my friend Sweep's site - his link is on the page you'll land on, or go directly to http://sweep.infinite9ths.com/"

Restored Yamaha Rm1x Sequence Remixer (1 of 2)

"This is a Yamaha RM1x Sequence Remixer I'm selling on eBay.
The video was recorded with a Samsung NV24HD pocket camera.
Audio recorded with Audacity on a PC and later mixed with Windows Movie Maker.

Sequence 2 includes additional percussion from a Yamaha S90 synthesizer.
Sequence 1 is 100% RM1x.

27 (keyboard) contact switches were replaced with better tactile switches. The original black (Mitsubishi) floppy drive was replaced by a Panasonic drive.

The drums and basses are my favorite sounds on this thing; the second sequence bass is too funky for words."

"These make great drum computers, even if you don't use the internal sounds. The built-in step recording and grid recording modes make drum sequencing fun."

Handmade Music Austin tomorrow

Full details here.

"Starting October 18th, we will offer monthly workshops at Salvage Vanguard Theatre where you can learn how to solder, build a synth kit, show off your own musical DIY project of any type, and jam with the new Andromeda Space Rocker synthesizer kits."

tomoberheim SEM Demo

YouTube via br0therl0c0
"A demo of the new tomoberheim.com SEM. This is more of a functional demo rather than a musical one. It's for anyone who may be curious how the Patch Panel version works, and/or how they might incorporate it into their rig.

I'm controlling the SEM with my Voyager Old School via the VX-351 CV Expander.

Hope you dig it, and thank you Tom Oberheim for recreating this amazing synthesizer!"
