"Demonstration of sounds produced by Simmons SDS-9 Drum Synthesizer for eBay auction. Dry Mono sound from the Simmons, no FX. This is a MIDI loop from a PC sequencer and a simple soft synth bass sound provides a context for the Simmons sounds. There is a lot of variety to be had in the snare drum using the filter, resonance and pitch and filter enveloping. This is with the stock Simmons snare sample, nothing fancy. It is possible to burn your own eproms for the Snare and Rime/Sidestick sounds. The bass and toms are static in this video although there are lots of posibilities there too, especially with the toms."

Arp Odyssey Vintage Synthesizer

via this auction
"Odyssey Mk III (Model 2820)
* The Mk III featured the new 4075 filter design. The rest of its specifications are virtually identical to the Odyssey II except that the overall look and quality are further updated to match the look of the latest ARP synths with the orange and black "Halloween" color scheme. It also used a unique ARP pitch-bender design called the PPC (Proportional Pitch Control), where three pressure-sensitive buttons are used to control bend up, down, and vibrato; older Odysseys used a simple knob for pitch bending.
* Mk III Odysseys have XLR outputs, in addition to unbalanced 1/4" outputs."

Subatomic Labs Mantis307

"Introducing Mantis307 a fat, mean, and rubbery VST synth that was influenced by the similarly raucous sonic stylings of classic analog synths like the tb303, mc202, nord3, OSCar and juno60.

Features killer unison and distortion, as well as constant time slide (portamento done right!). In addition, 2 oscillators + subosc per voice, sync, mono and polyphonic modes, keyboard tracking, and 3 envelope curve types. (and much much more!). And with a super low CPU footprint that lets you layer many mantis sounds without breaking a sweat.

Mantis307 was created for raw acidic sound design! ::: Mantis really shines when used like a tb303, as a bassline monosynth. To get you started, there are several teebee presets to get the aciiid juices flowing. But don't be fooled, Mantis's range of sounds include much much more than just 303 and basses, hit the audio samples below to see."

15.4.2010 Drumsynth building workshop LEIPZIG

via LeafAudio on this electro-music.com thread

"15.04.2010 - 6-9 pm _ LEIPZIG

In this workshop we build the Bumsss! It is a simple drum-synthesizer like from the old days. It has a built in contact microphone. If you hit the box, a decay-envelope is triggered that controls the amp and pitch of the machine. Or you trigger it by external devices such as modular synths. An LFO offers triangle or square waves for modulating the pitch. Besides the oscillator you can use a noise for creating sounds. There are some more interesting features, you'll be surprised. Please bring your soldering iron! It's good to have a little soldering experience, but if not you'll learn it here.

The fee of 75 Euro has to be paid cash and includes all material like cirquit board, parts and casing exept poti-knobs.
