Synth Ts at Target?

via Karl

"I noticed this shirt on my son today, and asked my wife where it came from. She said Oh I bought that at Target. I guess synth shirts are mainstream."

Probably the smallest pics of a CS80 you will ever see on this site. Via Craigslist Vancover, CA for $10000
"Yamaha CS-80 with service manual , manual and all technical docs.Sounds great, holds tuning well.The Tolex cover has a few scrapes and bruises but the functional areas are pristeen .The unit was never on the road. It was purchased from Oscar Peterson in 1981 when he built his Synclavier system,and owned till 1994 by Barry Warne, a local synth afficiondo and tech.I have owned it since then and have only used it occasionally on studio sessions . It has been kept in studio for the last 16 years. It is a truly unique beast.....Serious offers only, thanks"

The Benjolin - First Sound

YouTube via e7ektro | February 05, 2011 | 0 likes, 0 dislikes

"Info about the Benjolin can be found at http://web.me.com/klangbureau/DIY/Ben...

I ordered the SSM2164 (Low Cost Quad Voltage Controlled Amplifier) in Hong Kong. You can see the mail envelope in the video. I built two Benjolins. I plan to build a double Benjolin light synth like the one of Pete Edwards from Casperelectronics. But that may take some time."

"The Benjolin is a ‘noise box’ that is ‘bent by design’, meaning that it always has a definite amount of unpredictability while it is still intuitive to play. The Benjolin features two eighteen-octave range voltage controlled oscillators that drive a ‘rungler’ circuit, circuitry that in essence uses a special interference technique feeding back into the oscillators to force them into wild chaotic behaviour.

A special slightly chaotic filter is both excited and modulated by the signals from the rungler circuitry processes, producing sounds between fat drones to grungy noise havoc. The kit is somewhat more challenging to build compared to the Zeitgeist, but with a little patience and accuracy a beginner in DIY can definitely build it successfully."

crocketts theme played by hyperdust

YouTube via hyperdust7 | February 05, 2011 |

"http://intensemusic.co.uk
I've been playing live synth around Bristol Bars recently and this is the latest cover track I've done. You can find the backing track on Soundcloud if you have a synth or piano and want to play along at home. Backing made using Battery 3, Arturia Minimoog & Atmosphere. Lead melody live on the Dave Smith Mopho. I love the little yellow thing - dead easy for carrying around."

Cableguys Curve

YouTube via CableguysOfficial | December 15, 2010 |

"Curve is a unique software synthesizer with editable waveforms and preset sharing. For Mac and Windows, as VST or AU."

http://www.cableguys.de/curve.html

"Cableguys have released Curve: a unique new software synthesizer based on editable waveforms and preset sharing.

Creating sounds with Curve is intuitive and immediate. The waveform editor is irresistible, and provides completely new possibilities for experimentation and detailed tweaking. Three powerful oscillators, three envelope generators, two filters and four LFOs work together in a sophisticated modulations matrix, all set out in a clear, uncomplicated user interface.

The other half of Curve exists outside the synthesizer. Curve's preset library is a shared online database, populated with your presets and those from other Curve users. This ever-growing, community-driven sound library provides users with a constant source of inspirational sound, and the opportunity to share, tag and rate sounds quickly and easily across the web.

The Curve community can also steer the future development of the synthesizer, as bug reports and feature requests are completely public at all times:

http://cableguys.uservoice.com

We, Cableguys, believe this is an essential aspect of Curve, and we're excited about where our users are going to take us."

"Also, we just introduced the Cableguys Bundle. It contains all our plugins (Curve, FilterShaper 2 and VolumeShaper 2). Until March 1st, it's available at an introductory price of EUR 129/USD 174. Afterwards, it will be EUR 149/USD 199. More on that:

http://www.cableguys.de

Users can add their feature wishes and vote on features for Curve, and the feature wishlist is public at all times:

http://cableguys.uservoice.com

I'd like to give you a overview of the major next steps that are planned for Curve:

- Until beginning of March we will add modulation for LFO speed. A first implementation is done and just needs fine-tuning: [link]

- Until beginning of April we plan to allow modulation of pitch and volume per OSC (not just globally). The necessary preparations in code (including improvements on CPU usage) and GUI are made, so we are confident to stick to that plan. [link]

You might remember Curve from this user demo video. Note Curve is now on version 1.0.

44 Eleven MiniMoog Sounds

YouTube via 7thDanSound | February 04, 2011 |

"MiniMoogs are good at bass sounds. So lots of people use them for that, a lot. Myself included. This video shows a few other types of sounds that the MiniMoog can do. There are effects, frequency modulation, leads, spikey things, distorsion and a few other things."
