"Random Patch generate function! It's pretty cool when you want "different" sounds and more often than not out out of the ordinary sounds..had to cut the vid short cos some one was knocking on the front door lol well i'll continue what I was saying...reverb on bass=bad especially if it's stereo bass, this stuff won't cut proper to vinyl. Any way one way round is this; on the Aux return channel (The wet signal) have a hi-pass filter thats 100hz or above, to make the reverb not clash too much with the bass you can side-chain the reverb too using a compressor (sending the kick to the compressor)"

Mini Synth, Chaotic Sound Generator

via these auctions
"Hand made 5 oscillator mini synthesizer

I have been making synthesizers for over 10 years but this is the first time I have made anything to sell. To see all my work go to nicksworldofsynthesizers.com

The 5 knobs tune the oscillators and the keys switch them on. In normal mode it can make simple melodies and harmonies.

There is a switch that makes all the oscillators sync to the first oscillator. This has the effect of making the oscillators lock to the nearest harmonics of the first oscillator and makes some very strange harmonies.

The chaos depth knob makes all the oscillators attempt to sync to each other. The result is quite extreme unpredictable noise and sonic convolsions.

The circuit is descrete transistor which give the sound a rich analogue quality. The case has a nice vintage industrial design with engraved lettering and moog style knobs.

I will be adding a link to some sound samples in the next few days.

MB33 Acid

video by YouTube via narki86 | July 22, 2010

"Just a quick demo track for testing my new MAM MB33 II analogue synth, drums by Machinedrum. Its essentially a TB-303 clone although it doesn't sound very similar, I gotta say I do like the sound, it sounds more aggressive and overdriven than a 303 without even any distortion added, and it can deliver some good oomph, all in all I am happy with it :)"

"u can sing it!!! LYRICS http://www.yooouuutuuube.com/v/?rows=...
Hey baby wake up from your a sleep
We have arrived onto the future
And the whole world is become....

Elektronik, Supersonik,
Supersonik, Elektronik,

Hey baby ride with me away,
We doesn't have much time,
My blue jeans is tight,
So onto my love rocket, climb,
Inside tank of fuel is not fuel, but love,
Above us, there is nothing above,
but the stars, above

All systems gone!
Prepare for downcount!

5....4....3....1! Off blast!


Fly away, my space rocket,
You no need put money in my pocket
The door is closed I just lock it,
(Ha) I put my (Ha) port plug in your socket (Ha Ha Ha)

The sonic sky is bright like fire
You and me gets higher and higher
Cut communication wire
Only thing can stop us is flat tire

Ha, Ha, Ha Ha Ha Ha

Hey love crusaider
I want to be your space invader
For you I will decend the deepest moon crater
I is more stronger than Darth Vapour
Obey me I is your new dictator
For you is Venus, I am Mars
With you I is more richer than all the tzars
Make a wishes on a shooting stars
Then for you I will play on my cosmic guitars!

Ladies and Gentlemen
Fasten your beltseats
We has commenced our decent
I trust you enjoy this flight
As much as you enjoy this accent

Now back on Earth its time for downsplash
Into sea of eternal glory my spaceship crash
People have arrived for cheer me from near and far
And as I float I open door and shout
"I am worlds biggest, washed-up superstar!"

(Supersonik, Elektronik)

As for sure as the sun rises in the west
Of all the seas and all the boats I am the bestest
come, let me put ring of Jupiter on your finger
Then like a smell around you I will forever linger
Ok, is time for end, no more will I sang
Let me take you back in time,
I want for you to experience big bang

Long live space race
Long live, Molvania"

MODIFIED Sequential Circuits Six-Trak with Custom Knob Box Controller

via this auction

"Because the MIDI Controller uses one MIDI Input, I have also modified the Six Trak and added MORE MIDI inputs, that that you can connect both the controller and another device (like to a computer). This modification was done by implementing a MIDI Merger from MIDI SOLUTIONS, and in no way is changing any feature of the original unit. It is only adding functions :)

Another minor modification, is to change the power cable (which is normally a gettho cable hanging out of the unit), for a 3 PIN power jack, like you find on any modern synth."

Update via Grant B in the comments. The controller is an M-Audio Evolution X-Session USB MIDI Control Surface.
