KORG Monotron Song - Tiger Dance

YouTube via audibleobsession | October 28, 2010

"A simple KORG Monotron groove. All sounds are played with the KORG Monotron Analogue Synthesizer. Additional drums from NI Battery 3 (Preset "Dragon Kit") and convolution reverb from NI Reflektor. Compression and EQ from UAD 1176LN, Helios Type 69 EQ, and Ableton Live's 8-Band (mostly for LPF to get rid of that notorious hum that plagues the Monotron). Line-in recording into my trusty M-Audio Firewire Solo. That's it!

Dancing girls are public domain videos found on archive.org.

Apologies if the bassline and groove get repetitive, really just a quick tune trying to show the kind of badass basslines and leads you can get from the Monotron. It really shines when you get some nice PWM going and push that MS20 filter hard. The LFO self oscillates nicely too. Overall, the best $60 bucks I've ever spent. Looking forward to moding it now."

Synton Syntovox 221 Vocoder

via this auction

"This is the flagship vocoder from Synton, and is among the best vocoders of all time. It shares company with the EMS 5000 and the Sennheiser VSM-201 vocoder. This particular unit was in fact used by Wendy Carlos, but that is not as interesting as how it sounds, nor as interesting as how nice the condition of this vocoder is.

The face of the unit is without blemish. The pots feel smooth and new, no pins are missing and all LEDs work as new. The power supply has been converted for US power and it even comes with original Synton literature - the original manual and informational documents from tradeshows back in the day. A technician has gone over it thoroughly, early last year, and couldn't find a fault...

This auction includes:
- Synton Syntovox 221 Vocoder
- Synton Syntovox 221 PSU w/ a little note to Wendy Carlos taped to it, from back in the day ;-]
- Cable for connecting the 221 to the PSU
- Original documents"

Metasonix Wretch Machine + Moog Delay

YouTube via plague1715 | October 28, 2010

"The Make Noise Pressure Points is acting as a manual gate for the Wretch. When the cable is plugged in, the Moog Voyager's slewed sample and hold signal modulates the pitch of the wretch. Wretch output is going into the Moogerfooger MF-104z Analog Delay, whose rate is modulated by an attenuated triangle wave from the Voyager."

OBP TV Interview with Composer Todd Barton

via OBP

"He’s the man behind much of the music at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. And he says, it’s OK if you don’t even notice the music. Todd Barton’s goal is to affect the mood without being obvious."

Some synth spotting in an interview with Todd Barton aka vgermuse. You should recognize the name from numerous posts. Metasynth, the Waterphone, and a pocket theremenin get a mention along with various other instruments.

Todd is currently working on the premiere of an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood in NYC by Ping Chong.
