"The Farfisa Syntorchestra is an Italian analog keyboard/synthesizer from 1975. It was used by Klaus Schulze on his album Moondawn, by Ash Ra (Ashra Tempel) and by Vangelis.
Basically, it is a monophonic synthesizer with some presets which can be modified and a polyphonic section. These two sections can be also combined and slightly detuned (intervals are also possible) to sound like a 2-VCO monophonic synth."
"The TLN-867 Tuner & Headphone Monitor combines an A440 reference tone generator, a headphone amplifier, and a beat frequency indicator all in a 1U module. The A440 generator is none other than David Brown's excellent DJB-A440 Reference Oscillator, a super stable digital A440 tone generator."
YouTube via PHIntermedia "Performed on the infamous CRuNCh lab 1972 Moog Modular synthesizer, with video projection of an attached oscilloscope. Executed from a score with parametric envelopes assigned to different performers. Rough synchronization is achieved with stop-watches, and four short sections in the piece (each about a minute long) allow for some controlled improvisation.
Paul Hembree, Chris Rippey, Steve Snowden, and Curtis Peel, performers.
Performed at the New West Electronic Arts and Music Organization Festival, Boulder Edition, 2007.
Also thanks to Brandon Vaccaro and Sean Brady for help with the MAX panning patch (the only digital aspect of the work... sadly we didn't have enough voltage controlled amplifiers, nor enough mixer channels on the Moog to produce 4 channel spatizalization)."
Voltage Controlled Passacaglia, Pages 3 & 4, by Paul Hembree (NWEAMO)
Update via Paul Hembree in the comments: "I posted a page of the score on my blog if you are interested in seeing what the players are reading from. "Staves" on the score look similar to the output of an envelope generator, or to the automated controller/parameter lanes in Reason or ProTools." [LINK]

YouTube via darenager "Just having a play around with my new Bugbrand CTL1 and PRC2 used with a Blacet VCO and a test oscillator.
The CTL1 is controlling the PRC2, pitch of each oscillator, I'm using a LFO to clock it, in the start of the clip the pressure common output from the CTL is controlling the LFO speed and the gate output is stopping and starting the LFO."
"I just finished this application which was an assignment for a course I'm taking in audio programming. While not directly synth-related, I think it's a pretty good substitute for a real scope. In fact, my modular was the main testing tool and I made sure to make the scope-mode trigger on positive zero-crossing so as to capture waveform contours. I hope some synth enthusiasts find this useful and will provide me some feedback."
"A quick demo of the upcoming Klee software sequencer, by Defective Records Software. The software is generating MIDI signals that are routed to Ableton Live, that has two software synths loaded up on two different MIDI channels. More information about this upcoming software is available on electro-music.com, in this thread: http://electro-music.com/forum/viewto... . More information, including free demo, will be available soon at http://defectiverecords.com."
