EDP WASP Electronic Dream Plant Synthesizer
via this auction "TECH BITS and GOOD BITS:- This is a Digital/Analogue, monophonic synth with 1 printed circuit board housing among many other things 2 x DCO oscillators with variable waveforms from ramp to pulse and a lovely square for drum n bass subby sounds! It has an awesome FILTER section which is an analogue, Voltage Controlled Filter. It is very powerful (listen to my track) and usefully has Lowpass, Hipass and Bandpass options, all with Q. There are controls for white noise, an envelope generator with attack, decay and sustain/repeat, a control envelope etc. Please do some research to understand the full extent of its functionality. In describing its sound, some people have described it as being even more impressive than a MiniMoog, however all I can say is that it sounds fantastic, producing huge, thick, warm, aggressive, powerful electronic noises and sounds when put through an amp, a bit of delay and reverb (on my track I have put the WASP through some reverb to create a nice room sound - as you can hear, the WASP records beautifully from its line out.
THE TECHNICAL ISSUES/BAD BITS:- The major issue is that my WASP suffers from 'DRONING WASP' syndrome, which means that on power up, the sound of the WASP is generated gradually (in terms of volume) without the use of the keyboard. The keyboard does not work. It never has during my ownership. I believe this may be down to a past humidity issue, though it could be anything and I am no expert. So, I have always used it to create continuous or 'oscillating' sounds. Therefore I can't say whether the Envelope Generator section works, or the glide, which would define the note onset, decay and sustain characteristics of a timbre..."Circuit Bent Casio PT-10 Keyboard by freeform delusion

The mods are:
Mono mini jack output (Speaker removed) - hook this up to your amp, mixer, PC or laptop
Red Pitch Down Knob - Take it down for splashing snares and bass drones!
On/Off/On Toggle Switch and Green Control Knob - The green knob is linked with the switch next to it. You can then choose two types of oscillating feedback. Choose left or right on the switch and turn the green knob clockwise.
Yellow Control Knob - Turning this knob clockwise will create a screaming feedback this doesn't need a switch to turn it on or off.
On/Off/On Toggle switch (next to yellow knob) - Press the switch left and it will create distortion effect, this does work best on the drums as the snare becomes harsh. Pressing this switch right it will switch on the LDR (photocell) feedback bend, this sounds similar to the green knob feedback but you can control this one like a theremin on its own or while playing the keyboard
As you can see, I have tried to pack so much into this keyboard, I've had to remove the speaker and put on a panel which is a battery cover form another keyboard, it just about covers where all the mods are. It is securely bolted and glued into place.Keyboard has a few marks on it.
Runs on 4 AA Batteries"
NAMM Updates
A ton of updates just went up. See the bottom of The NAMM List. Don't miss the CyberStep KDJ-ONE.
Note each update would normally get a new post, but I decided to keep updates for each synth in one post.

1 Beatseqr, 4 Tracks, and a Ton of Fun

"This is my third video demonstrating Steve Cooley's handmade 16-step MIDI controller, the Beatseqr. In this video I am showing how you can use the Beatseqr to simultaneously send MIDI information to multiple tracks/instruments in Logic. Then, using a control surface I can toggle those different instruments on and off.
With the four programable patterns available in the Beatseqr this allows for potentially huge number of pattern/instrument combinations.

technics wsa synthesizer - some physical modelled sounds
YouTube via borgmechaniker | January 16, 2011 |
"Here some sounds i created on the TECHNICS WSA synthesizer. As the WSA uses a simplified version of physical modelling, the sounds are very acoustic in character and always have some "alice in wonderland" feel to it.
The WSA is good for virtual percussive, stringed and or blown instruments. It also has some good sounding filters and fx unit."
