I just spotted this thread from droffset on electro-music.com. I thought it would be worth a post for those curious about synth DIY. The Drum Synth will feature the following:
MD24 MIDI to Gate PCB by Highly liquid
2x CGS Gate to Trigger Converters
4x Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synth
1x CGS Cynare
3x Coron DS8 clones by m.Bareille
2x Thomas Henry UD-1
1 set of Klee Sequencer PCBs by Scott Sites
"Testing some panel designs for the quad MPSs based on the four elements. Can you tell which is which?"
You can track progress on the thread linked above.
VCF FM : Amazing new sounds are now added through this feature. Six FM Sources are available.
LFO Clock Input : Syncing the Apreggiator and LFO to external drum modules and sequencers in now possible. As well, interesting feedback loops can be created.
PW Modulation Source Selection : Now you can choose a pulse width source. It is indeendent from the LFO's waveform setting. OSC sources are included.
Pulse width to near 0% : Pulse width effects are now made more extreme and powerful.
External Audio Input : Just plug in a foot pedal or a CV from a midi convertor and your SH-101 will sing
LFO Rate Scalar : Ever hear a bell sound out of SH-101? Try this on Hi!!! Want a really slow sweep.... you got it too.
Overdrive : You may notice that this acts more like a "filter cleaning" knob as the filter is overdriven at it's minimum setting and clean at the max."

Moog Realistic MG-1 lead sounds.
Redtron : Mellotron Sounds.
No midi sequences were used , all was recorded on one take and no further mixing after recording, Everything is improvised,please forgive my mistakes ( a lot of them :P )"

Touch DJ is the first full-featured DJ MP3 application on the iPhone platform. Touch DJ offers realtime independent manipulation of 2 MP3 files, including scratching, looping, positioning, equalization, effects and and pitching. The unique futuristic user-friendly interface of Touch DJ and the highly advanced zero-latency sound engine bring fantastic results comparable to what can be done with professional hardware equipment.
Traditionally iPhone and iPod Touch have only one stereo audio output which broadens the possibility of using them as a DJ device. Touch DJ overcomes this limitation by offering innovative and unique way of deejaying which doesn't require additional headphones for prelistening to the tracks. This technology is called "visual mixing" and it implies the graphic display of the track waveforms next to each other. The low-bass (kick) parts are detected and rendered in different color compared to the rest sonic frequencies, making beatmatching as easy as adjusting the tracks position and pitch so that the kick parts become visually matched.
As an alternative for the users who really need to prelisten to the tracks, Touch DJ also offers a second "Split" mode of mixing which requires the usage of a special l/r splitting adapter. Among extra features - LP filter FX for each track, vinyl Spin and Break effects, onboard sampler with 3 sample slots (accepts .WAV files) and the ability to record samples via the microphone. As a bonus, Touch DJ is shipped with 25 dance tracks provided by DanceMusicHub.com."
YouTube via ChrisLody "I fired up my microKorg last night to find it had a hardware fault. I switched it on to make this video because the fault was a bit intermittent and I wanted a record of it to show tech support, but actually seems to have got worse over night.
Things get quite scary from about 3:30 onward as the problems get worse the longer it is left switched on.
The noise can clearly be heard going through the internal delay at 4:25 onward, so the fault has to internal.
Very upset, can't function without this keyboard : (
bassline: SCI Pro-One, internal sequencer is triggered by the TR-707
intro vector sound, lead, pads and fx sounds: SCI Prophet VS
drums: Roland TR-707"

"This is a demo for the new diode Ladder VCF. A vco is mixed with some music. I am toggling the LP BP and HP switches."

"This is a demo for the new Steiner VCF. I am using a Tom Whiltshire Digital Sample and Hold to do the modulation. A Double Saw wave is being fed into the unit."

"This is a demo of the new Diode Ladder VCF based on a Steiner design. There are two Square waves being fed in. An LFO is doing the modulation of the cutoff. I am sweeping the Bi-polar FM knob."
