"free charles! a 'drill n bass' sorta patch on the atc1 (mini filter). there's some waldorf pulse in the background and drums are from ableton. a bit of beat slicing is done at points, but for the most part this is straight up atc."

atc1 tune

"--skip to 2:45 for the good stuff-- a more melow atc1 demo. except for the drums and reverb, it's all atc1 with the 'mini' filter. it's a beautiful synth yo! and sorry for the aliasing, but even with really bad sound quality the power of this synth should be apparent."

Kawai K3m Oscillator Waveforms

YouTube via rolandsh1000
"Just a short video showing the wavetable oscillator waveforms of the Kawai K3m. To me, this synth is a bit lifeless and cold (though still sounds generally nice) and I wondered why, since it has the terrific ssm2044 analog filters. So I decided to put the oscillators on the scope and this video demonstrates what they look like.

Many of them have a lot of extra high frequency content, and I can hear aliasing noise at low frequencies. Interesting to me is that they didn't include any basic SAW, SQU, PULSE waves, but there are a few very SINE looking waves."
