"It's with great pleasure that I have opened Vaccine. This is a blog that I will be using to post patches, samples, and all sorts of files that are designed for public consumption by musicians working with electronic instruments, wether hardware or software. I feel that I should introduce myself and give a little bit of background about my involvement with music and electronic instruments."

YouTube via davidryle "Q106 Oscillators by Synthesizers.com. A demo switching back & forth between soft synch and hard synch. The exponential input on each carrier oscillator is modified with an envelope generator to add a waveform sweep. The Q960 sequential controller and a Q962 sequential switch switches between osc synch modes every 8 notes. The blue tape designates the oscillator with the soft synch modification."

"The sound is similar to the 700s and 800dv, with the 770 sitting somewhere in between the two in terms of flexibility. It has a rich 70's tone that is more refined than a Moog or an ARP. The 770's controls are unusual; its oscillators have distinct personalities--one has a "chorus" setting controlled by LFO1, the other has two ring mod settings and "pitched noise". There is also a second LFO for the first oscillator only, and an auto-bend feature. The filter section is amazing, using Korg's own resonant high-pass/low-pass combination. The filters on the 770 have a more organic and rich tone than the filters on the MS-20. The envelope section has switches to multiply the envelope length, making very fast and very slow envelopes possible. And last, but not least, is the external input which allows you to route audio through the filters and the ring modulator. Even as a ring modulator alone this synth is worth the price--it has a glassier tone than the legendary Maestro Ring Mod."

The Performance Music Systems (PMS :) Syntar - the first keytar ever. The Syntar predated the Moog Liberation. The Syntar was made by George Mattson of Mattson Mini Modular.

Euro rack modular, acidlab miami, OLPC running Tam Tam. It was need to see and hear this in person. OLPC stands for one laptop per child. It is a program in which you buy one of these laptops and one goes to a third world country for a child to use. It comes with an actual synth engine including a software modular. Think about that. One of the few programs children get exposed to with their first computer experience is a software modular synthesizer. event comments
