glitch remodulation matrix with volatile and sympathetic bends grouped seperately, variable self composition controls, variable density controls, pitch over 5 octaves control, input jack for sustain, and onboard controls for sustain.

i avoided the subtle and tried to demo the more drastic sides of the bends. starting with an intial beat and accompainment and mutating it as far as possible. there's alot more capable from this synth but just doing a short run through after assembleage."

"Stereo compressor+gate w/ variable frequency selectable-compression, key insert (sidechain) and sweepable bandboost/reject filter with resonance.
1st time running a Korg ESX-1 through ISA428 preamps followed by some reverb from a Kurzweil Rumour.
The gate kicks in @ about 1:15. All sound modification is done in real-time on the BSS. The ESX and Rumour were left unaltered."

Mystery Synth

This one in via Neno. Disclaimer: before anyone starts thinking MATRIXSYNTH is their personal posting place for any question they might have, this one is going up for one reason alone. This is about a synth I can't quite place and it needs to be in the archives. Joel went through the custom and DIY labels and came up dry after about 20 minutes of searching. I took a quick peak and guessed some of the obvious like Open Labs's gear, but it wasn't them. The following is a brief description. If you have any idea, please comment.

Note this is actually via Neno's friend Volken on the musicplayer forum:

"I’m talking about custom crafted (88 keys) master keyboard with computer keyboard and trackball physically built into this shape. They had both Mac or PC onboard (to best of my recollection) as customer’s choice of preferred platform. I’m certain they have some aero/industrial background because implementation was rather impressive considering build quality and materials used. Since yesterday, wanted to check their present offer and alas... without a trace"

and via Neno: "Manufacturer with Aircraft expertise who was making 88 note master keyboard that serve both as DAW with - customer choice - either Mac or PC inside. Unique paint looks and very lab grade materials."

Update: Mystery Synth Solved! Tracked down by Volken and Neno. The synth is the Infinity Music Systems X1 Workstation.
