ARP SOLUS SYNTH AD

via this auction

Arp Solus

YouTube via HenfieldJ — September 30, 2008 — "This is a video of the ARP Solus, done both for Historical sake, as well as for my eBay auction. The Solus was a low cost budget analog monophonic synth made by ARP in the late 1970's and early 1980's before ARP went bankrupt. Some of the main features are its built-in case, 2 VCO's (which are super stable and stay in tune!), a 24db low pass filter that can be made to self-oscillate, a ring modulator, oscillator sync, ability to add Freqeuncy Modulation (FM) to oscillator 2, full set of CV ins/outs, and an external input to route through the filter and envelopes.

This is my first youtube video, it is not as easy as it looks! It was very difficult to do by myself. Also, please excuse my lousy keyboard playing"
Note this video from 2008, so the auction obviously is over. Here's a search on ARP Solus on Ebay.

Note this is a SynthEdit VST. SynthEdit is a synth engine that allows you to make your own custom synths. You build your synth with the basic building blocks in the program and then create your own custom UI. Think of this as DIY for soft synths. When you see an "emulation" like this based on SynthEdit, realize the sound engine is based on SynthEdit. The UI is just a skin. This is not custom code built from the ground up to emulate the detailed characteristics of the classic synth featured. Companies that do produce custom code emulations include GForce, Way Out Ware, and Arturia. That said, these VSTs are synths, can be edited, and many are free. Both KVR and MyVST.com are great resources to explore the world of soft synths.

If anyone knows more about SynthEdit and it's capabilities, feel free to comment.

via kvr on Reality:

"Reality is an emulation of the Realistic MG-1, a synth that was sold by Radio-shack but was made by the Moog company. Special attention was given to the oscillators, analog instability and overall oddness of the original.

Features:

* 2 analog style oscillators (tone sources) with saw/square waveform, sync and ring modulation (bell).
* Noise generator.
* Tempo sync LFO (modulation) with triangle, square and random waveforms.
* ASR envelope (contour).
* VCA with multiple mode, envelope, key (gate) and continuous.
* 24db filter modulated by the LFO and Envelope.
* Monophonic or polyphonic modes with separate tuning."

The Gristleizer Version 2

via Smashing Guitars

"This is the new Gristleizer Tabletop Version 2. We added CV in and out for the LFO, and CV in for the frequency, and upgraded the knobs and overall look. It's still 100% analog, hand-built goodness from Asheville, North Carolina. Coming soon is a video demo of what this new version can do."

The Gristleizer Guitar & Organ Demo by King Tut

YouTube via keepyourkings — October 18, 2009 —

"This is a demo song featuring the Gristleizer. The Gristleizer was designed by a young Roy Gwinn in the early 70s and popularized by the band Throbbing Gristle. This song by King Tut features the Gristleizer in many different ways. The only instruments not being run through the Gristleizer are the drums and bass. The Gristleizer is 100% analog, hand-built, and made in America."
