YouTube via BlipInteractive — June 03, 2010 — "NanoStudio is a music app for iPhone which combines sampling, synthesis, sequencing and mastering.

Much more info at http://www.blipinteractive.co.uk

Record your ideas in real time, mix synth layers with samples, compose and arrange your tune using the powerful sequencer and bring the mix alive with real time effects such as reverb, waveshaping and delay. You can use your own samples or record them using the microphone. NanoStudio's low latency audio engine is custom engineered for iPhone, capable of delivering an amazing 48 voice polyphony in CD quality stereo.

Synth

Introducing Eden, NanoStudio's versatile synth. Eden creates analogue sounds ranging from deep basslines and fat pads all the way up to squealing 303 lines and heavily distorted leads. Each voice has 2 anti-aliased oscillators modulated in mix, ring or sync configurations fed into a low, band or high pass 2 pole resonant filter.

Eden's virtual patchbay allows you to connect 3 envelope generators and 4 beat-sync LFO's to create modulation mayhem. Real-time performance becomes a truly interactive experience with dual X/Y controllers, accelerometer input and a pitch bend wheel, all totally configurable via the patchbay. Controller movements can be recorded and edited using the sequencer

It doesn't stop there. NanoStudio allows you to use 4 synths simultaneously, each with its own insert effects such as waveshaping, chorus and delay. Create complex sonic textures using multi-mode to layer up to 4 different voice presets. When you want to go beyond basic oscillators, load up a sample and process it just like a normal synth voice - great for mashing up vocals or even the whole mix.

When you're ready to get really creative, NanoStudio allows you to resample its own output and trigger the sample via the pads or keys, freeing up synths and effects to add even more sonic goodness to your composition.

Trigger Pads

Record samples using the built in microphone, resample NanoStudio's own output or upload your own samples over Wifi using the NanoSync tool for PC and Mac. Edit your samples using NanoStudio's built-in wave editing tools and trigger them using the 16 pads. Adjust pitch, pan, volume and envelopes and assign each sample to one of the 3 output busses, each with its own effect and filter setup.

Sequencer

Record performances in real-time using the keys and sample pads or create patterns and controller sweeps by drawing them in the piano roll editor. Arrange your patterns into a complete song using the track editor. Edit to your heart's content while the song is playing and rest assured that every editing and recording operation has multiple undo/redo.

Mastering

Use Nanostudio's intuitive mixer to monitor levels and get your final mix just the way you want it. The mixer's two global effects sends allow you to individually apply reverb and delay effects to each track.

When you're ready to share your mix with others, and use NanoSync to copy the exported .wav file to your PC or Mac over Wifi."

godwin 849 string symphony

"bought this brand new in 1982 from Dougies music shop in northwich, cheshire.. a few months before roland realeased the juno 6.... oh well!, there is not much info about this on the internet or anywhere, but i can tell you it is fully working , all buttons, lights, sliders, everything is fine... the only downside is the front panel is starting to rust slightly, and the handle on the flightcase has broken off. by the way this thing sounds fantastic, especially the chorus/tremelo unit, this synth is built like a tank, and weighs like one too!.. this synth is the much posher version of the godwin string concert.. is it rare let me know. this auction is deffo pick up only sorry"

ARP Avatar

via this auction
"There is one big difference between this ARP Avatar and others that have been offered on EB, which is: it works! In fact we just spent $492.68 with Advanced Musical Electronics, LA's premier synth repair service, to insure it is fully functional. If you don't believe us, here's a copy of the receipt! IMO this synth is best used as an adjunct to a 2600 or other ARP of the same vintage. However we also include a NOS guitar pick-up - never been used. The Avatar is legendary as the synth ARP spent a ton of money working on but then never really sold or marketed it properly. Opinions vary on the effectiveness of using it as a guitar synth and your mileage may vary. This particular synth is in G+ condition - probably as good as you'll find."

Lost in space (Plogue Bidule + 2 Boss SYB-5)

YouTube via GruithuisenCityMan — June 04, 2010 — "Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made with Plogue Bidule sequencing 2 Boss Bass Synthesizer SYB-5. The sounds of these 2 Boss Bass Synthesizer SYB-5 has been reintroducted into Plogue Bidule in order to permit to short and long delays to be added. The all thing has been made in one take and has not been edited. Enjoy !"

Making Noise with an Atari Punk Console and some effects in my new studio

YouTube via NoizeHack — June 04, 2010 —

"I built an Atari Punk Console (556 timer synth) and then ran it through a cool 4ms simsam2.0 kit I built and then ran that into an MXR Distortion + and then ran that into a DOD flanger I got at a garage sale for $7 and then into my honeytone. some awesome terrible noises."
