"Sugar on a Stick is the bootable USB version for 'regular' computers: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick

tamtam SynthLab was the application I was showing:

You can see an older demo of SynthLab on YouTube: [below]

I plan to make a better video after I get a minor bug fix into the program. My plan is to create a training guide or lesson plan that uses SynthLab and the built in oscilloscope program to learn about wave forms and sounds.

D-50 Volume board replacement, result. PT.3

YouTube via TheSynthFreq | July 29, 2010
The volume is a bit low on this one. If you turn it up, don't forget to turn it back down. This one added to this post with parts 1 and 2 as well.
"Hi. :)
This is an informal short video on the results of the Roland D-50's new 100% working volume board. D-50 is one happy synth. :) I play a short song to test it and see if I can hear any crackling or distortion. After that, I choose another sound and give the volume slider a run through and make sure it functions correctly. Also, you might wonder what that strange looking device with the lights on it around my neck, its an Icom, a bluetooth device for my hearing aids so that I can hear D-50 in my hearing aids directly.

The volume switch, pitch bend, Chase, Port and Transpose switches also work as they should. Its like a new synth!

:) TSF"

Yamaha SY-1

"This is one of those "tabbed" synthesizers with non-adjustable, pre-set voices. There are two ranks of tabs with a switch to select between them. The voices are wonderful - full, rich and deep-bodied. I like the wind voices in particular (clarinet, oboe, bassoon), which are strong and powerful, and really cut through the mix. They even occasionally sound like the instrument they're attempting to emulate!"

If the site looks slightly different and you can't quite tell what it is, the right column is now slightly wider resulting in the rest of the site being slightly wider as well - 50 pixels to be exact.
